It's 50 years since theatre history was made - the premiere of A Chorus Line. It was seen as a seminal moment, turning the spotlight on the people who make the show for the first time.Baayork Lee tells Josephine McDermott how she played Connie Wong in the original production. Like many of the first cast, her true life experiences made it into the show which was developed in workshops by director and choreographer Michael Bennett.Baayork Lee describes “the buzz” the musical generated soon after opening in a small venue off Broadway on 21 May, 1975, with everyone from singer Diana Ross and former first lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis to comedian Groucho Marx vying for seats. Two months later on 27 July the show transferred to Broadway. It won nine Tony Awards and became one of the longest-running shows on Broadway. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there.

Three leading screenwriters, Michael Bennett, Dianne Taylor and Lulu Wang share their experiences on the craft of writing for film and series, from the first idea being conceptualised through to the final draft for production based on examples from their own acclaimed work. This session is moderated by Marc Laureano and presented by South Pacific Pictures.  

Prior to this offseason, General Manager John Schneider presided over two major shakeups of the Seahawks post-Super Bowl roster. We've referred to these as a 'Hawkpocalypse' due to their significance. Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor, Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett all left in 2018. Then two franchise cornerstones in Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner left in 2022. This offseason seems to close the book on some remaining pillars of the Pete Carroll era: Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf and Geno Smith. But does this shift seem as dire as the previous two, or is it a strategy to be celebrated? Will Schneider's move to bring in Sam Darnold, Cooper Kupp and Marquez Valdes-Scantling be able to fill the holes that were created in the roster? Even if they don't, we should expect the improvements on defense will help carry the 2025 Seahawks. In the second half of the show, we talk about some dream scenarios and nightmare scenarios for the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft. Could a dream interior lineman fall into the Seahawks lap, or will they move up to draft a quarterback or even stay put to take another running back? This week, a writer at the Sporting News and a Discord hacker need to 'Do Better.' Better at life honors go out to a diner in Oregon and Sam Darnold's prolific Reddit fanclub.

This podcast episode features the fourth panel session of the day at our Artemis London 2024 conference, which was held on September 3rd. It was our third in-person conference in London focused on catastrophe bonds, insurance-linked securities (ILS), alternative capital and reinsurance-linked investment trends. The fourth panel of the day was titled "Cat bonds – Primed for records, growth & key role in global risk transfer." Participants discussed the state of the catastrophe bond market, the outlook for cat bonds through the rest of 2024 and beyond. Moderating the session was: Philipp Kusche, Global Head of ILS, Howden Capital Markets & Advisory. Joining him as panellists were: Florian Steiger, CEO, Icosa Investments AG; Michael Bennett, Head of Derivatives & Structured Finance, World Bank Treasury; Tanja Wrosch, Head of Cat Bond Portfolio Management, Twelve Capital; and Colin Scagell, Partner, Mayer Brown. At the time of this recording the catastrophe bond market was still in its hurricane season lull, but panellists reflected on what was a record first-half of the year for cat bond issuance and their expectations for a busy pipeline to emerge over the course of the year.  Investor sentiment and motivations were discussed, as well as the motivations of catastrophe bond sponsors, with all our expert panellists explaining that they expected activity would ramp up and create a record year of issuance, which we now know to have been the case. Listen to the full episode to hear our industry experts discuss the state of the catastrophe bond market, the appetite of investors for new cat bond investments and the key role the cat bond market has developed as a source of reinsurance and risk transfer protection.

"It's okay to start over, but it's not okay to complain about what it takes to start over." Michael Bennett Super Bowl Champion On this episode of The Pivot in partnership with Fanatics, we're sitting down with Super Bowl champ and 3x Pro Bowler Michael Bennett. Building a reputation in professional sports for being unique, Bennett shares with Ryan, Channing and Fred his journey from a young man growing up in Louisiana to getting into football to his close bond with his brother to being outspoken for black men and culture to the highs and lows of winning and losing a Super Bowl....but now life looks a little different for Michael —he's living in Hawaii with his family, traveling the world, and diving deep into architecture and design. But being able to start over took some time, as Michael shares with the guys how he struggled to step away from the game he loved so much but knew deep down his worry about his brain and fear to never walk his daughter down the isle pushed him to retire from the NFL and refocus his efforts differently. Michael talks about how much he loved every moment of the game, but ultimately made the selfless decision to say good bye to it so he could stay healthy knowing football was his passion but family is his purpose. Michael was part of some of football's toughest defensive cores in NFL history and part of building the 2013 Super Bowl Championship team in Seattle as he breaks down some of his top ranked defenses of all time and gives his thoughts on today's game. He gives his take on one of the biggest enigmas of Seattle's Super Bowl loss, which is why did Marshawn Lynch not get the ball as the game winded down with a chance to win a 2nd Super Bowl...Michael shares the inside talk of what really happened that play call and what he saw happening if Marshawn was given the ball that play. Considered a controversial career by some, Fred, Ryan and Channing commend him for always taking a stand on important issues and ask how Michael found the courage to stand up for black people, being in locker rooms where his outspokenness was often frowned upon by fans, the franchise and teammates. Michael explains how growing up him and his brother would receive punishments to read encyclopedias, so learning was always a key part of their lives. That intellectual curiosity shaped how he approached football, and his love for the X's and O's as He didn't just want to be a great player; he wanted to study the game and master it. But his interests stretched way beyond the field which Michael became known for speaking out on important issues, from activism to social justice, never afraid to stand up for what he believed in or try to spread his message in creative ways not hostility, even writing a book, "Things that Make White People Uncomfortable". Since retiring from football, Michael's focused on spreading a different message: the importance of design, especially in black communities, and creating opportunities for his culture. Humanizing black men, making it okay for them to be vulnerable and emotional is one of his main goals as he explains how, as an athlete, people try to put you in a box, but for him it's all about breaking those stereotypes. To him, intellect and emotion are just as vital as the toughness and grit it takes to make it in both the NFL and life after the game.  Tap in now on YouTube to watch full episode and hit Subscribe.

Interview with Michael Bennett, President & CEO of Altamira GoldOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/altamira-gold-alta-finding-gold-copper-porphyries-in-brazil-1925Recording date: 31st May 2024Altamira Gold (TSXV:ALTA) offers investors a unique opportunity to gain exposure to the underexplored gold potential of Brazil. The company's flagship Cajueiro project in the central-western part of the country hosts a 700,000 ounce resource at an average grade of 1.2 grams per tonne (g/t). However, the real excitement comes from the recent Maria Bonita discovery, which has the potential to rapidly grow the resource while providing a pathway to near-term production.Maria Bonita was discovered in 2020 and has seen limited drilling to date. Yet the results have been impressive, with long intercepts of consistent gold mineralization starting from surface. Hole 29, for example, returned 1.0 g/t gold over 22.8 meters with a peak value of 2.4g/t gold. Importantly, the deposit features 10-20 meters of soft oxidized rock from surface that is highly amenable to heap leach processing. Initial metallurgical tests returned 88% gold recoveries with very low reagent consumption.The oxidized blanket at Maria Bonita supports a potential heap leach operation producing around 200,000 ounces per year. With a capex estimated at less than $10 million, such an operation would be transformational for Altamira. It would provide the cash flow to fund aggressive exploration across the company's 30,000-hectare land package, where numerous targets have yet to be drill tested.The ultimate goal is to establish Cajueiro as a multi-million ounce gold district. Maria Bonita is open at depth where recent drilling has encountered visible gold, pointing to the potential for a positive grade reconciliation. Regionally, Altamira is conducting geophysical surveys to define new drill targets for testing later this year.Altamira also offers investors optionality through its earlier-stage Apiacas and Santa Helena projects. Apiacas, located 50 km east of Cajueiro, produced over 1 million ounces of gold historically from garimpeiro workings. Altamira's first-pass drilling returned grades up to 9m @ 9.44 g/t gold, and 9m @ 4.5 g/t gold, with follow-up geophysics and drilling planned. Santa Helena meanwhile provides copper-gold porphyry exposure, with three targets identified from surface sampling.With a market cap of just $20 million, Altamira is an attractive speculation at current levels. The company has recently raised $6 million through private placement, providing ample funding for upcoming drilling and development studies. The potential for a low-capex heap leach operation at Maria Bonita provides a compelling near-term production opportunity. And with a 30,000-hectare land package in a highly prospective yet underexplored gold belt, there is no shortage of upside potential. With drilling ongoing to grow the resource base and a number of potential catalysts on the horizon, Altamira is a story worth watching closely.View Altamira Gold's company profile: https://cruxinvestor.com/companies/altamira-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
