Input: Consider Input: âThe Honors are the greatest weekend of the year  and it is also the bane of our existence  â Deborah Rutter  said with a laugh. For the president of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts  the annual Kennedy Center Honors  airing on CBS on Dec. 26 and honoring dancer Carmen de Lavallade  rapper LL Cool J  television producer and writer Norman Lear and singers Gloria Estefan and Lionel Richie  is a welcome national spotlight on the memorial to the late president. But thatâs all anyone seems to know about the the white jewel box on the Potomac.
âWe really like to think about the other 364 days of the year  and all of the programming that happens on those days â  Rutter  told me in the latest episode of âCape Up.â âWhat I love about being here at the nationâs cultural center is that we have really a mandate to welcome all of the performing arts. It is not just a performing arts center for one assumed art form or another.â
I bet you didnât know that hip hop was one of those art forms at the Kennedy Center and that Q-Tip is its artistic director. âThis is a first â  Rutter  said. âAnd as far as I know  there is no other artistic director for hip-hop â¦ anywhere in probably the world. And weâre very proud to have Q-Tip here leading  guiding and inspiring us.â
While she didnât need much convincing   Rutter  allowed that there could be others who might â for fear of what it could mean for the other arts. âJust because we are bringing in more programming that includes hip-hop artists  it does not mean that weâre doing less dance or less international programming or less of the National Symphony Orchestra â she said. âIt just means that weâre doing more  that we have thrown open the doors of the Kennedy Center  and we are ensuring that all are welcome here.â

There are nine performance spaces at the Kennedy Center that are in use all year. In addition to the orchestra and  the Washington National Opera  Rutter  noted the 46-year-old institution has âa magnificent  world-recognized ballet season. We have contemporary dance  we have jazz  we have a huge jazz series  chamber music  recitals  comedy  international programming.â
Listen to the podcast to hear  Rutter  talk further about the work of the Kennedy Center and how it fits into the cultural life of Washington.  She  goes into what it is like to be the local performing arts center for members of Congress  foreign diplomats and âquite a number of justices from the Supreme Court.â But  Rutter  insists none of those constituencies tries to exert influence over programming.
âHere at the center we have no limits on what we could present â  Rutter  told me. âThe problems I always describe is how to say no  when to say no  and how to not be really  truly overwhelmed by the extraordinary limitless richness of what happens here.â

Input: Consider Input: Actor John Bradley  who plays Sam  Tarly  told TV Guide that characters are going to keep being pushed by new elements and traveling the seven kingdoms deeper and faster than ever before.
"Each of the characters this year is placed in a completely alien environment at some point in the season that they've never been placed in before "  Bradley  said. "The thrill is seeing how they react to it and how they respond... This season  I think  more than any other is stretching these characters."
But  Bradley 's comments are intriguing from a character perspective. An alien environment isn't necessarily a physical place; it's an unfamiliar situation (Arya  no longer sniffing out traitors)  an important task (Cersei trying to play nice with others)  or a new threat (White! Walkers!).
"The stakes definitely feel ramped up  " Bradley  told TV Guide. "We know that we've got a real job to do. This has been a part of people's lives for so many years. This is our eighth season  and we are kind of feeling the pressure to get it right because we want to satisfy people...we just kind of want to give them an ending that they deserve."

Input: Consider Input: Students mourn during a candlelight vigil for victims of yesterday ’ s shooting at nearby Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland   Fla . on Feb . 15 . ( Reuters / Carlos Garcia Rawlins )  Sixteen - year - old Colleen Lance ’ s English class  spent much of  its  time on Thursday talking about what to do in case someone started shooting . “ Do we try to barricade the door ? Do we try to escape ? What are we supposed do during a shooting ?” she and her fellow students asked their substitute teacher . Lance ’ s classroom in Illinois was a thousand miles from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School   where a gunman opened fire on Wednesday and killed at least 17 people . But the news hit close to home . “ After Florida   we were all definitely like   ‘ Oh   God   is this going to happen here ?’ ”  Lance  said . “ It ’ s very anxious to go to school after a school shooting . It makes you more aware that you ’ re not safe .”  Lance  wasn ’ t alone in her anxiety . After the latest school shooting   this time in Parkland   Fla .  teenagers across the country returned to their own high schools Thursday for another normal day . But then again   Wednesday had started out as a normal day for Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School . And it was hard not to think about that . Several students responded to a request from The Washington Post via Snapchat to talk about how the news of the tragedy weighed on them as they returned to their own classrooms . ( The Post spoke with some of those students by phone   and contacted their schools to verify their identities and attendance .) [ A loud   new voice after the latest school shooting : Kids wanting to know why adults hadn ’ t done more ] “ It makes me feel really concerned . It feels so much more common now  ” said Rebecca Connor   15   who attends high school in Virginia . “ You don ’ t know where it ’ s going to happen next . It could happen at our school . There ’ s no way to tell .” She added that report after report of troubled students turning on their classmates “ makes me want to be nicer   makes me want to take everyone ’ s feelings into account .” This type of response isn ’ t limited to high school students   said Robin Gurwitch   a psychologist at Duke University Medical Center . But teenagers are particularly vulnerable . “ With teens   the more stressed they are about these events   the more likely they are to have sleep problems   difficulty concentrating and irritability . It can affect school performance and relationships with peers  ” Gurwitch said . For some   the overwhelming sensation wasn ’ t fear but weariness . “ It ’ s become such a common occurrence that it ’ s hard to have a reaction at some point  ” said Aidan McGahey   15   who attends high school in Philadelphia . McGahey said his fellow students sometimes talk about shootings in the immediate aftermath   and that his religion class had tackled the subject this week . Lance dissected the news with her friends   who are similarly interested in keeping up with current events and fall on both sides of the political divide . Connor   a budding news junkie who watches “ Morning Joe ” and keeps up to date with Apple News   confessed that she and her friends didn ’ t discuss school shooting stories much because it would “ make it feel more real .” Gurwitch said that taking time away from the news was critical for teenagers when a story like the Parkland massacre is dominating headlines . She emphasized activities like reading   sports   listening to music   or other activities that allow people to avoid social media or the news for a set period of time . The American Psychological Association has issued similar guidelines for people of all ages dealing with stress related to school shootings in the news . [ We ’ re used to experiencing mass shootings online . But Parkland brought us into the classroom . ] It ’ s not uncommon for schools to have lockdown drills or add security systems to protect students in the event of an attack . But in addition to physical security measures   Gurwitch said   schools should allow discussions about traumatic events “ in a smaller group   so if there are concerns   [ students ] feel comfortable asking a question or commenting on something they may have heard .” No matter how many safe spaces schools create   the teenagers expressed frustration at the recurring issue of school shootings . “ It ’ s not something we can sit back and say   ‘ it ’ s a part of our society ’. We need to be taking active steps to resolve  ” McGahey said . “ I think we need to work to stop this .” “ It makes me upset that it ’ s something I do have to think about . I just want to focus on my grades and graduating and going to college and becoming a young adult  ” Lance said . “ I don ’ t want to think about getting shot when I go to school .”
