WordStage offers a free performance at Lakewood Public Library
by Tim Tavcar via NEohioPAL 06 Nov '15

06 Nov '15

Killer Verse Poems of Murder and Mayhem Sunday with the Friends - Free Performance November 8, 2015 at 2:00 PM | Lakewood Public Library Main Auditorium - 15425 Detroit Ave., Lakewood, OH The human race seems to be hypnotically fascinated by the deadly art of Murder. As witness by the number of books, films, television programs, and the news media’s unending fascination for the gruesome and gory, we as a species seem to be mesmerized by spine tingling stories of famous and infamous murderers and their victims throughout history, or by those unknown to us but who are all too real. >From a recent anthology of the same name, masterfully edited by Harold Schecter and Kurt Brown, WordStage has chosen to present poems of significant literary, historical and psychological interest and underscore them with music from some of the great classical masters of macabre music – Saint Saens, Chopin, Grieg, Herrmann, and more. The villains and victims who populate this presentation range from Cain and Abel to Bluebeard and his wives, to Lizzie Borden and Jack the Ripper, and many more murderous miscreants. The literary forms they inhabit are just as varied, from colorful melodramatic ballads to hard boiled 21st Century noir, from startlingly lighthearted riffs to profound poetic musings. Some of the authors included in this program are Robert Browning, Thomas Hardy, W.H. Auden, William Cullen Bryamt, Edgar Lee Masters, Kenneth Patchen, and Ravi Shankar. These are only a few of the many poets, old and new, whose work will be presented in this heart stopping – and criminally entertaining, WordStage performance. Featuring Actor/Readers Agnes Herrmann, Paul Slimak and Tim Tavcar - Accompanied by Violinist Mary Beth Ions (submitted by Tim Tavcar)

National Endowment for the Arts Chooses Ohio Dance Theatre Artistic Director Denise Gula for the National "Tell Us Your Story" Campaign
by Ohio Dance Theatre via NEohioPAL 06 Nov '15

06 Nov '15

National Endowment for the Arts chooses Ohio Dance Theatre Artistic Director, Denise Gula for the National "Tell Us Your Story" Campaign One of only 5 chosen in the state of Ohio In celebration of its 50th Anniversary National Endowment for the Arts has gathered stories from the general public and grantees, elected officials and agency directors, artists and art lovers across the country about the importance of art in their lives and their communities. - As a choreographer and founder/artistic director of Ohio Dance Theatre, I sometimes have the luxury of creating socially relevant work. In this particular case, I was able to use my art form to create something that I also feel passionate about. Blood Stripe describes the struggle of a Marine veteran, one of the millions of Americans who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan and returned home profoundly changed by the soul-wrenching experience of combat. During the Iraq War, 48 Marines stationed with the 325th Marine Battalion were killed in Iraq. My son-in-law was among the many who "survived" but came home forever changed. I made the ballet because I felt helpless witnessing my daughter's family as they struggle with long-term effects of PTSD and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury). Blood Stripe uses dance to communicate the military experience, expressing through movement thoughts that words often cannot say. The name of the piece comes from Marine jargon that references the red band on dress uniform trousers worn by officers and NCOs, symbolizing blood shed by marines in war.
