GROUNDWORKS DANCETHEATER at the Allen Theatre THIS WEEKEND!

24 Oct '18

----------------------------------------- GROUNDWORKS DANCETHEATER OCTOBER 26 & 27, 2018 @ 7:30pm Presented by Cleveland State University Department of Theatre and Dance Allen Theatre Mainstage - Playhouse Square TICKETS: 216-241-6000 | www.playhousesquare.org<http://www.playhousesquare.org/events/detail/groundworks-dancetheater-2> $25 / $30 (General); $10 (Students / Children under 18) 20% discount for groups of 4 or more: use code 2020 ****************************************************************** Cleveland State University's Department of Theatre and Dance<https://www.csuohio.edu/class/theatre-dance/> will open its 2018-2019 season at Playhouse Square's Allen Theatre on October 26 and 27 with two performances by its professional dance company in residence, GroundWorks DanceTheater. Dance students at CSU have the unique opportunity to directly learn from and take workshops presented by GroundWorks throughout the academic year, making this partnership a valuable crossover for students to work directly with professionals in their field. GroundWorks DanceTheater celebrates new beginnings during its 20th anniversary season and marks the company's next chapter with its Fall 2018 Dance Series. The upcoming season features dynamic new talent, the revivals of two critically-acclaimed works, as well as a world premiere by Founding Artistic Director David Shimotakahara, who will debut his 43rd new work for the company. "GroundWorks is thrilled to celebrate our 20th anniversary milestone," Shimotakahara says. "Throughout the season we look forward to introducing our audiences to an exceptional group of new artists. They truly reflect a fresh, new energy and inspire the next chapter of the company's continuing adventure." Joining GroundWorks artists Alexis Britford, Annie Morgan, Tyler Ring and Robert Rubama is newest company member Nicole Hennington, an Arizona native and graduate of the University of Arizona School of Dance, where she won the Gertrude Shurr Award, given to acknowledge passionate artistry and excellence in modern dance. GroundWorks' 2018 Fall Series features the world premiere of a dynamic new project created in partnership with the Akron Art Museum and funded by a Knight Foundation Arts Challenge award. The Knight Arts Challenge funds the best ideas for engaging and enriching communities through the arts. Shimotakahara was given permission to work in response to an important piece from the museum's permanent collection, the magnificent Dzesi II by internationally-renowned artist El Anatsui. Initially part of the Akron Art Museum's 2012 exhibition, "Gravity and Grace," Dzesi II has become one of the most popular works in its collection. "The celebrated work of El Anatsui strikes a rare combination of stunning beauty, fascinating communal process and deep metaphorical and poetic meaning," curator Ellen Rudolph writes. "A global artist, Anatsui draws on artistic and aesthetic traditions from his birth country of Ghana, his home in Nsukka, Nigeria, and various Western art forms. Anatsui's work is about transformation. Using found materials such as printing plates, condensed milk tins and aluminum liquor bottle caps allows the artist full freedom to improvise and invent. Anatsui is also captivated by the history of use that such materials retain." In addition to bringing this premiere to the Allen Theatre, GroundWorks performances will also feature the reprise of two audience favorites from GroundWorks' extensive repertory, LUNA and Hindsight. Hindsight, Guest Artist Lynne Taylor-Corbett's homage to Chrissie Hynde and first staged by GroundWorks in 2011, explores the sounds and rhythms of legendary English-American rock band The Pretenders. LUNA, choreographed by Shimotakahara in 2012, explores the nature of desire and its deeply held and often conflicting motivations. "These polarities developed into a series of physical relationships that reveal many facets in a cycle of experience," Shimotakahara says of LUNA. "That cycle is like the moon, as unknown and primal as it is familiar." GroundWorks Allen Theatre Performances will take place on the following dates and times: Friday, October 26 at 7:30 p.m. Featuring an audience talk back with Shimotakahara and GroundWorks company artists immediately following the performance. Saturday, October 27 at 7:30 p.m. Featuring an audience reception celebrating GroundWorks' 20th anniversary in the Allen Theatre lobby following the performance. Ticket information can be found at www.playhousesquare.org<http://www.playhousesquare.org/events/detail/groundworks-dancetheater-2> or by calling 216.241-6000. -----------------------------------------

As a girl, Violet was struck by a wayward axe blade when her father was chopping wood, leaving her with a visible scar across her face. With enough money finally saved she's traveling across the Deep South in 1964 towards a miracle - the healing touch of a TV evangelist who will make her beautiful. Although she may not succeed in having the scar on her face healed, Violet is able to repair those scars that are lying deeper than her skin. The show is directed by CSU Associate Professor Holly Holsinger, with music direction by Maria DiDonato. Music is by Jeanine Tesori, with lyrics and book by Brian Crawley. VIOLET is based on "The Ugliest Pilgrim" by Doris Betts. "It's a story about the fact that everyone has wounds, and that we're all searching for healing. We all do that in our own way. I hope people gain compassion from the show, but more importantly I hope people see themselves on their own journey," says Holsinger about the production. She also describes the cast as having some wonderful group numbers, which have intriguing and powerful harmonies. "The cast is drawing me in, making me want to rise up out of my seat!" THE CAST The Cleveland State University cast features Raven Monet Bryant, Brooke Myers, Anthony "X" Brown, Sophia Marcella Costanzo, Chace Coulter, Rebekah Ferro, Jordan Ficyk, Brianna Hohenfeld, Frank Ivancic, Steven Livingston, Sullivan Ratcliff, and Ricki Thomas.

24 Oct '18

Last weekend to see Plath andOrion at Kennedy’s Down Under, Playhouse Square. A unique evening oftheatre presenting rarely seen pieces!

COMMENTSFROM REVIEWS Four of Cleveland's Best Actresses, Two One-Act Plays,Zero Reasons to Miss 'Plath & Orion' at Cesear's Forum (Christine Howey) https://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2018/09/26/four-of-clev… The experience is heightened since it displays the extraordinarytalents of four of our area’s finest actors: Rachel Lee Kolis, Aimee Collier,Mary Alice Beck and Julia Kolibab. What is not up for debate is that Cesear’s Forum always producesplays that engage audiences in unique and compelling ways… In short, they takerisks, which are the lifeblood of art in general and theater in particular. WW Review: Quality performances make PLATH AND ORIONinteresting evening at Cesear's Forum https://www.broadwayworld.com/cleveland/article/BWW-Review-Quality-performa… Cesear's Forum, which might be thought of as the little theatercompany "that could and can," is at it again. The theater usuallypresents challenging scripts which have small casts and require little or nosets. Artistic director Greg Cesear has followed this pattern again with hispairing two one-act plays into an evening of interest. Thisis a character, rather than a plot centered script. It is well written andgives each actress a chance to show off her talent. And talent is abundant withthese two fine actresses. (Rachel Lee Kolis and Aimee Colier) Their charactersare well-developed, with each performance completely realistic. The second act, Greg Cesear's "Plath, Sexton and the Artof Confession," features Mary Alice Beck as M.A. and Julia Kolibab as Jane.As in the first act, the performances are excellent. Cesear’sForum captivates with confessional one-acts, ‘Plath and Orion’ Bob Abelman https://www.clevelandjewishnews.com/columnists/bob_abelman/cesear-s-forum-c… …..As short-form confessionals that delve into the hearts and mindsof the two women at each of their centers, these one-acts make for engagingcompanion pieces. They offer plenty to chew on for the superb actors selectedto bring them to the stage and for the patrons in the audience. The simple title given this collection of one-acts – “Plath andOrion” – only hints at what lies in store in what amounts to an enthrallingevening of theater. | | Virus-free. www.avg.com |
