As I was going through the slurry of fine arts news that Google sends my way each day, I came across an interesting connecting thread between two very different types of theatre: Spanish.
The Bard for Our Time
As the Spanish speaking segment of the U.S. (as well as the rest of the world) continues to grow, […]
It may finally happen. I may be able to go and see a performance of a dance piece I’m writing about. Best of all, it features my homeboy, Ethan Steifel, who started his stellar career right down the road from me at the Monona Academy of Dance.
Twyla’s Interpretation of Heaven & Hell
Ethan works with Herman […]
If you’re not involved in the Twitter community, don’t become so. It will turn your phone and your computer into a banal and tedious little bird that intermittently interrupts your train of thought or activity with useless facts about people you’ve never met.
Unfortunately, I’m firmly esconced in the twitterverse, which is why I am able […]
At first I thought this was going to be some good news, an article in The Toronto Star: “…the idea of upper class forming cultural elite no longer valid” This would be a good thing, right? It means that we are all part of the arts, that it’s just as much a part of the […]
I’ll be stage managing the show portion of this festival in the beautiful Memorial Union Theatre in Madison, WI. But the entire weekend is going to be loads of fun:
he Madfest Juggling Festival is approaching!! The 47th Annual Madfest will take place on January 17,18, 19, and 20. There will of course be a Juggling […]
I did a performance, years ago, with Douglas Rosenberg, Heidi Latsky, and Larry Goldhuber at P.S. 122. It was great fun - lots of neat projections, cool music, and the two of them dancing together…le sigh.
It put PS 122 into a soft spot in my heart, and so I read reviews like this one with […]
Every once in a while I like to indulge in this pleasant little vice. I’m not proud of it - it’s a little embarrassing, to be honest - but at the same time, it’s almost necessary, a requirement of the Bachelor of Science degree that I earned (and will be paying off…forever).
I have to indulge […]
While attending the Podcast Expo in Ontario, CA recently I got to have a conversation with the lovely Charlotte Marie, a model and actress in the LA area. I mentioned the rumors I’d heard of the dearth of theatre, and she was quick to point out that she was also involved in a production called […]
One of the more interesting pieces in today’s concert is Valerie Green’s "Naked Heart." It utilizes a different kind of movement vocabulary and accompaniment than most of the other pieces in the concert. Valerie, who graduated from the program just before I joined it, has a "choreographic work and teaching style influenced by her apprenticeship […]
Yesterday I got to renew my acquaintance with the dancer Colleen Coy, who is performing choreography by Maureen Janson with tonight’s opening of “The Pearl Fishers”, an opera by Georges Bizet (better known for Carmen). Rather than transcribe, I wanted to just let you hear her own words, and especially the energy and enjoyment that […]
