08 Mar '19

Standing Rock Cultural Arts' "Around the World" Music Seriespresents~~~Korean pansori: Sugungga (Song of the Underwater Palace)~~~featuring master performer Chan E. Park8:00 p.m., Saturday, March 16, 2019North Water Street Gallery 300 N. Water Street, Suite HKent, Ohio$10 suggested donation (or pay what you can)preceded by 7:30 p.m. meet-and-greet featuring light food and drinks Pansori (판소리) is a unique tradition of story-singing originating in South Korea, in which a solo vocalist, accompanied by a single barrel drum called buk, performs all the roles, as well as the narration. In 2003, UNESCO recognized pansori as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. A longtime professor of Korean language, literature, and performance studies at The Ohio State University, Dr. Chan E. Park (박찬응) is one of the foremost exponents of pansori in North America, and endeavors to create a vibrant engagement between performer and audience (the "pan" 판 in pansori). For her concert, Park will treat audience members to a bilingual performance (in Korean and English) of "Sugungga" (수궁가 / 水宮歌, Song of the Underwater Palace), an ancient fable in which a turtle uses trickery to lure a wily hare to the undersea palace of the Dragon King. The reception will feature sujeonggwa, traditional Korean ginger-cinnamon-persimmon punch, as well as a variety of Korean snacks and pastries, served at no additional charge. About the artist: Dr. Chan E. Park began studying pansori singing in Korea in the mid-1970s, learning from three master performers: Ch’ông Kwônjin (an Intangible Cultural Treasure of South Korea), Sông Uhyang (heir to the rank of Intangible Cultural Treasure), and Han Nongsôn (heir to the rank of Intangible Cultural Treasure), and also studied komungo sanjo, traditional drumming, and drum dance. She has given lectures and performances at numerous university programs, Asian and Korean cultural centers, and museums in the U.S., Korea, and elsewhere around the world. She directs the Lee Korean Performance Research Program at Oho State University, and serves as producer and artistic director of OSU's Annual Korean Wind and Stream Performance Event. Park holds a Ph.D. in East Asian languages and literatures from the University of Hawaii, and has taught at Ohio State University since 1995. As a scholar, she has published widely about pansori and other aspects of the Korean literary and performance tradition. Her more recent activity involves the creation of new bilingual/"pansoritized" plays for stage performance, several of which she has directed at theaters in the U.S. and internationally.

We are hoping that your application will be in the mix! Directing in our unique space is a truly rewarding experience.

Seeking Cast for Staged Reading | April 5
by Playwrights Local 07 Mar '19

07 Mar '19

Playwrights Local (http://playwrightslocal.org/) Seeks multiple cast members for a staged reading on Friday, April 5 at 7:00 pm THE CARDINAL A new play by Caroline Knecht Direction by Erik Andrews Dramaturgy by Lenora Inez Brown Synopsis The Cardinal is about a holiday dinner gone awry. It’s a story of legends, legacies, and the complicated bonds that tie family members together (or don’t). The entirety of the play takes place in four rooms of one house: the dining room, the front porch, the bathroom, and the basement. All scenes transpire on Thanksgiving 2016 in Ohio. Cast (All Roles are Open) ELAINA, 60: Accommodating, but a little out there. There are two sides to her character: who she was before this dinner and who she will be after. This is the night she snaps. SHEILA, 33: Resentful, tired, burdened. Smells like cigarettes and/or weed. Most likely clinically depressed. Definitely has a drinking problem. ROBERT, 29: Elaina’s only son. Assured of himself and his place in the world. Sees himself as the hero, someone who could solve everyone’s problems. DAWN, 27: Elaina’s second youngest. The Switzerland of the family. Has a sweet, neutral vibe. *MONA, late 50s: Bad bitch of The Afterlife. Ageless. Very short. She needs a loud voice and an expressive, explosive personality—she’s full of idiosyncrasies. *THE BARD: The song of the ages. Wiser than us all. Maybe an angel from heaven. *The same actress should play both these roles—but they are polar opposites. Logistics There will be 1-2 rehearsals in North Collinwood. The reading will be on Friday, April 5 at 7:00 pm at the Creative Space at Waterloo Arts, 397 East 156th Street, Cleveland. This is an unpaid reading, but a great chance to be a part of a new play! Reply with a cover email and headshot/resume to the director at erikandrews1(a)me.com. ABOUT THE COMPANY Playwrights Local is a theater company based in Cleveland. Billed as a playwrights’ center, the organization’s goal is to provide a home for dramatic writing in Northeast Ohio.
