Enjoy THE TRAIN PLAY this holiday weekend!
by convergence-continuum via NEohioPAL 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

TAKE A WILD THEATRE RIDE THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND! THE TRAIN PLAY: ONSTAGE THIS THURS-SAT AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM. convergence-continuum presents the Ohio premiere of Liz Duffy Adams' comic-poetic derailment of apocalyptic nightmares and American dreams. "a trip to the edge of reason" "Think of it as The Orient Express on acid" (Mark Horning, Cleveland Theater Reviews) "wonderfully powerful and poetic" (Bob Abelman, CJN) "an absurd journey" "off-beat theatre" (Roy Berko, CoolCleveland) Imagine you're on a train hurtling at the speed of light toward destiny. Here it is that eight strangers meet: a twelve-year-old girl with the powers of a comic-book heroine who manipulates time; a jaded Earth Goddess with a soft spot for very old scotch; an unraveling horny physicist fleeing a terrifying truth she's only just glimpsed; a young man on the run from predatory angels; a disenchanted travel writer who's just trying to pay his bills; and three Russian brothers on a musical mission of peace to America. While they ride, the destruction of their universe looms as they speed along a comic-poetic collision course with time, custom and connection, zooming toward a supernatural climax. THE TRAIN PLAY runs Thu-Sat at 8 pm through July 18 at the Liminis theater, 2438 Scranton Rd. in Clevelands historic Tremont neighborhood. Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 seniors, $10 students.Reservations and information at http://www.convergence-continuum.org and 216-687-0074.

Cleveland Ballet WINS esteemed Award!
by Christine L. Krause via NEohioPAL 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

The Cleveland Ballet Documentary created under the direction of Steven Hacker Films, chosen as Silver Award Winner in the prestigious 36th annual Telly Award For Immediate Release: Christine Krause 330.590.0286 Cleveland Ballet, Marketing Chair Contact clkprod(a)aol.com To see the documentary go to: http://clevelandballet.org/watch-cleveland-ballet-documentary-film/ (Cleveland, Ohio) – July 2, 2015. The Cleveland Ballet Documentary created under the direction of Steven Hacker Films, was chosen as the Silver Award Winner. The 36th annual Telly Awards, chosen in the “Cultural” Category - has named Steven Hacker Films as the Silver Winner in the 36th Annual Telly Awards for 'its production entitled "Cleveland Ballet: Its Proud Past. Its Promising Future." Chosen as the Silver Award Winner/ With nearly 12,000 entries from all 50 states and numerous countries, “This is truly an honor, said Michael Krasnyansky, Ph.D., Cleveland Ballet, Chairman of the Board, “We are thrilled to be part of this exciting news,” he continued “Steven Hacker was hand-picked by our Executive Board to create a poignant, heart warming video that told our story about re-establishing in our great city a “new” professional resident Cleveland Ballet Company.” The story behind the Award Winning Documentary is filled with Cleveland Ballet history and performing arts intrigue. The original Cleveland Ballet Company decided to move from Cleveland to San Jose and close its doors to Cleveland in 2000. This was devastating to the artistic integrity of Cleveland. This was a huge loss for our great city, but what remained behind after the company moved was Gladisa Guadalupe. Immediately after the sudden departure of the Cleveland Ballet, she opened Cleveland School of Dance. It was her intention from that moment to eventually re-establish a resident professional ballet company back in Cleveland. This has been Gladisa’s passion for over 15 years and finally the time has come. Finally, in 2015, Cleveland Ballet will make its Preview appearance, August 17, 2015. The seeds are planted, the plans are in place, the infrastructure established, the School, the Orchestra and the Renaissance of Cleveland is ready to embrace a ballet company that the city can finally call its own. The decision was clear. The best way to tell the “new” Cleveland Ballet story was to create a documentary developed with passion and truth featuring people who lived the story and would share their experience firsthand. The best person to create the documentary was award winning cinematographer, Steven Hacker. Steven’s Documentary style reaches deep to the heart of the subject and the viewer. He has a way of capturing passion that generates fresh and original content. When asking Steven to comment on his creative strategy for the Cleveland Ballet Documentary, he replied “This is a stylized, artistic piece that combines passionate interviews shot with feeling and purpose, coupled with slow-motion footage of dancers in the background. “This documentary style was created to inspire and educate viewers to remember the rich history of Cleveland Ballet and the cultural value of performing arts in Northeast Ohio.” “What is amazing to us, commented Gladisa Guadalupe, Artistic Director, Cleveland Ballet, "in fact, we just premiered our documentary a few short months ago and already it has won one of the most prestigious awards in the industry! We are grateful to Steven Hacker for sharing his artistic vision, proficiency and award winning results.” Regarding the Award The Telly Awards was founded in 1979 and is the premier award honoring outstanding local, regional, and cable TV commercials and programs, the finest video and film productions, and online commercials, video and films. Winners represent the best work of the most respected advertising agencies, production companies, television stations, cable operators, and corporate video departments in the world.
