Deaf Culture and our Hedda Gabler

Take a look at this video that came out on BU Today…today…a bit of shameless self promotion, but I also think you’ll applaud this video Ilana, and be even more happy that you’re coming tonight. I loved hearing the signers physical tactics of how they play different characters. I agree with the last statement in […]

Aunt Dan and Lemon with Whistler…

Wallace Shawn’s play with Whistler in the Dark gets good reviews at The Factory Theatre, and our own Bridget O’Leary directed it. Jonathan Clark, the reviewer of DigBoston, recalls leaving the theatre “reconsidering [his] notions of global and personal morality,” which I’m thrilled to hear because I love walking away from a piece of theatre […]

Simplicity and Lightness

Something about my panel’s discussions this week connecting Culture Clash and Drew Hayden Taylor, especially in regards to their humor, reminded me of Fragments. And I had the thought last night, with Sophie and Amelia, and then it flew away. But for those who saw Fragments, didn’t it make you understand the human condition so […]

‘Chautauqua!’: in Maine, then down to North Adams

I was so shocked, inspired and moved by Chautauqua at the ICA a couple weekends ago that I was curious as it its next stop. In Maine at the Stonington Opera House for one night only Wednesday April 6, this article, http://new.bangordailynews.com/2011/04/04/lifestyle/chautauqua-to-bring-entertainment-education-to-stonington/ preceeded the performance. But I wonder how Maine received it… Then Chautauqua! went […]

9 Circles, Closed Last Weekend, Great Review

I saw the Publick Theatre’s 9 Circles two weeks ago at the Plaza Theatre at the BCA and feel similarly about it to the reviewer in her article. Bill Cain, the playwright, had won the Humana Festival Award for the play the night before I saw the play. This reviewer also isn’t afraid to let […]

Daniel Veronese Interview

This interview, though not about Women Dreamt Horses, helps me understand Daniel Veronese’s work. I don’t know how much time we’ll have to talk about this in class, so it might be a helpful booster. (Beware non-spanish speakers, however. The translation is poor.) He believes the greater sufferer in life is the one who doesn’t […]

The Weir, an old local review

Hey all, Just wanted to do a little shameless promotion of my family friend who’s an actor who did a fabulous job playing Jack back in their production of The Weir in 2004 (at Marblehead High school, it was a nice theatre…they were a small company of actors putting it together) http://www.theatermirror.com/CRtwmsp.htm http://www.wickedlocal.com/gloucester/fun/entertainment/x1336916877/New-theatre-group-presents-The-Weir-in-Gloucester#axzz1HaAq0vaF Apparently they […]

2001 “The Transposed Heads” with deaf actress Nicole Zapko

I was looking up Nicole Zapko after falling in love with Love Person and the chemistry that happens with deaf culture in theatre, and I came upon this article about a Hindu cultural piece she collaborated on back in 2001. It’s quite an old article but i still thought it was really interesting. http://www.citypages.com/2001-10-03/arts/three-s-company/

Classical Theatre…in the Country…

I post this link to Shakespeare & Company’s Hamlet Tour, educational outreach for a few reasons. One is that I want to be really up on Shakespeare & Company’s news because I want to play Juliet like none other, and they’re doing Romeo and Juliet in the summer of 2012. (Seriously, like if we’re talkin […]

American Theatre Magazine, Global Spotlight, ex: Spain

Browsing the American Theatre Magazine thru TCG, which Ilana showed us how to do at the talk on how to get arts internships this past monday, I found the Global section. If anyone else is interested in spanish Theatre, or speaks spanish and has a desire to browse what kind of theatre is going on […]

This was supposed to be on the blog last week re: Cripple of Inishmaan

Hey all! Look, there’s a Boston Globe review on the Atlantic Theatre Company’s version of Cripple of Inishmaan now at ArtsEmerson!! Naomi, you were just talking about this today. I’m not going to make it to see this because of my thesis, but it seems to be taking Boston by storm. http://www.boston.com/ae/theater_arts/articles/2011/02/05/dark_humor_on_the_emerald_isle_in_the_cripple_of_inishmaan/ The article isn’t […]
