Upcoming in NYC: Yiddishkeit Abounding

Many lovers of vaudeville are also lovers of Yiddish theatre and culture, so I take the liberty of plugging these upcoming presentations by some friends and colleagues. This year, the first night of Channukah falls on Christmas. One would hope the convergence will inspire a spirit of generosity and shared humanity for a couple of days at least as a kind of fortification before the rending apart…

The cast is the well known and very good from previous parts with the good additions of the children, which perform really well. This part, although shows again the chaotic life of Xavier, feels, somehow more coherent and luminous, as if the pieces would be finally fitting. Maybe the best way of summarizing the series and the conclusion is with the conversation that Xavier and Martine have by the end of the film in which Martine tell Xavier...

Part 3: In Tribute to Reggae Month

Exploration and experimentation continued apace after 1996 without discarding the discoveries of the first three decades. From the Bridge Generation, there were clear indications of renewal/continuing approaches to choreography. The renewal end of the renewal/continuity continuum was to be balanced by Marlon D. Simms (Continuum), Chris Walker (Urban Fissure), Shelley Maxwell (Garvey Lives) and Christina Gonzalez (My Skin, My Kin). 

Simms' Continuum (2015) explored the musical stylings of new generation reggae artists/band Raging Fyah – “Africa”, “Karma” and “Brave”. The work experimented with the National Dance Theatre Company (NDTC) modern dance style, which is a blend of Jamaican traditional folk forms, ballet and modern dance techniques. The finale reflected the movement patterns of people ‘en masse’, indicative of communal gatherings and festivities such as parties and Dancehall.

Original Dancers (Continuum): Kerry-Ann Henry, Keita-Marie Chamberlain, Tamara Noel, Marisa Benain, Maia Pereira, Jillian Samms, Sophia McKain, Kristina Graham, Kayon Wray, Gillian Steele, Jahmai Paul, Lauryn Rickman, Jodi-Ann Smith, Nadani Dixon, Shade Thaxter, Gillian Edwards, Mishka Williams, Tiffani Smith, Rachel Walter, Mark Phinn, Kevin Moore, Patrick Earle, Paul Newman, Phillip Earle, Michael Small, Kemar Francis, Dominic Saunders, DeVaughn Allen, Javal Lewis

Walker's consciousness of the need to renew while ensuring continuity was evident in his early choreographic expressions and thus prepared his audience for Urban Fissure (2004). The work utilised the music of Bob Marley – “No More Trouble” featuring Eryka Babu and “Rastaman Chant” featuring Busta Rhymes. Jamaica Gleaner writer Chester Francis Jackson wrote: 

Walker's debut presentation of a populist folkloric piece in a contemporary arrangement, showcased not only his skills a choreographer, but the changing face of the dance genre as indeed, this was a piece that stuck to its text in presentation and styling, and made for arresting attention.  

Original Dancers (Urban Fissure): Keita-Marie Chamberlain, Debroah Powell-Valentino, Jihan Palmer, Mark Phinn, Khama Phillips/Oniel Pryce

Shelley Maxwell’s Garvey Lives (2005) traced the journey by the great Jamaican visionary Marcus Garvey through his Philosophy and Opinions to reclaim the ancestral pedigree threatened by the consequences of slavery and his defiant efforts to get people to do somethings about reclamation. She drew on the music of Fred Locks, Burning Spears, Steel Pulse and the dub poetry of Mutabaruka. The programme notes read:

As many people predicted after he had died, his memory would live on and his voice would still be heard from the past, through black people in the present. Today his words survive, and with them the hopes for a better tomorrow.

Original Dancers (Garvey Lives): Keita-Marie Chamberlain, Tamara Noel, Marisa Benain, Janira Bremner, Danielle Nembhard, Mark Phinn, Marlon D. Simms/Kevin Moore, Jermaine Rowe, Oniel Pryce

Christina Gonzalez choreographic debut, My Skin, My Kin (2009) on the National Dance Theatre Company (NDTC) drew heavily on dub poetry as reflected in Rex Nettleford’s Dis Poem (1988). Here, the choreographer used Mutabaruka's – ‘I Don’t Have A Colour Problem’ and ‘Whey Mi Belang?’. 

Original Dancers (My Skin, My Kin): Keita-Marie Chamberlain, Tamara Noel, Marlon D. Simms, Allatunje Connell, Paul Newman, Orlando Barnett

2019 Philadelphia Theater Critic’s Awards — The Recipients

In the past week, performances by Marcia Saunders (“The Children”), Janis Dardaris (“The Children”), Dana Delany (“Goodnight Nobody”), Ellen McLaughlin (“Midwives”), and Alicia Roper (“A Woman of No Importance”) were so finely etched and individually moving, I would be content if these actresses were the nominees for a 2020 awards that has 11 more months to create candidates.

I’ve been dancing around the vicinity of Allen Lewis Rickman now for over 15 years. I reviewed his 2003 production of Yiddish playwright Leon Kobrin’s The Woman Next Door at the Folksbienne. I reviewed Shane Baker’s 2012 solo show The Big Bupkis, which Rickman directed. I relished his screen turns on Boardwalk Empire, in the the Coen Brothers’ movie A Serious Man, on

Howdy :) questions, seeing as you can't sleep: have you had any experiences which majorly helped to shape who you are today? Dinner with anyone, living or dead, who would it be? Where do you feel most safe? How would you describe what love feels like for you? One fundamental element of who you are?

Hi there! Thank you for asking!

I believe all my experiences have shaped me into who I am today. All the characters I’ve played, the people I’ve met, the trauma I’ve survived, the deep connections I have formed. My psychic grandmother had a huge impact on who I grew up to be, as did my impetuous and fiery mother. My father also shaped me with his “rebel without a cause philosophy” and his independence. My significant relationships shaped me for sure. In both good and bad ways. Being forced to move out at 18 and support myself entirely with no financial support whatsoever was a big thing. Moving to Berkeley, and then to SF definitely shaped me.

I also think, that doing hospice care for a friend who was dying of cancer, and raising her two little boys really significantly shaped me. More than anything else I suppose. It was the most meaningful experience of my life.

Dinner with anyone… Living or dead… That is hard. There are so many. Nietzsche, Sylvia Plath, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda, Bowie, Walt Disney, Queen Elizabeth, Clara now, Greta Garbo, Alfred Hitchcock, Winona Ryder and Johnny Depp when they were together, along with Tim Burton, Edward Gorey, Jhonen Vasquez, Alan Rickman, Anais Nin and Henry Miller, J.D Salinger, J.k Rowling, Oscar Wilde (you KNOW he would be hilarious), Edgar Allen Poe, Anne Sexton, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, Ralph Fiennes, Al Pacino, Kate Winslet, Aleister Crowley (I’d be terrified yet fascinated), man ray, Frida Kahlo, Salvador Dali, Edie Sedgwick, Aldous Huxley, Judy Garland, Dario Argento, Stanley Kubrick, Louise Brooks, Stuart Townsend, Martin Luther King, Louis CK, Rasputin, Aaliyah, Josephine Baker, Nat King Cole, Joanna Newsom, James Earl Jones, Robert smith, Siouxie Siou, grace Slick, HUNTER S.

Overall though, I would choose to have tea with Vivien Leigh. My one true hero and inspiration.

Where do I feel most safe? Disneyland, my bedroom, and my grandmother's house.

Love feels like… A drug to me. It feels like the entire world is suddenly made beautiful–even the ugly parts. I feel like my heart has wings, I feel more excitement and desperate passion than I have ever felt, I feel a warm glow, a blue lagoon reflecting the sky. It feels like suddenly everything in the world makes sense, and like I am a little girl again in awe of the world for the first time. When the initial honeymoon phase passes… It feels like… A heartbeat in my head. Like my right arm. Something that is always with me, and very deeply a part of me, everywhere I go. It feels like an omnipresent thing. Like the feeling of suddenly knowing you are alive, it feels like a warm blanket to cuddle up with. Like flowers blooming in the spring, or the sun shining through the clouds. Though in my sad and limited experience… It often ends up feeling sad. Like an echo, a stain on your consciousness. A shadow slinking along the walls… At least romantic love. Live for my friends and family, is something eternal. The power of miracles. That which shines, and it can never be diminished or destroyed. My love once given, is forever.

Fundamental element of who I am? Empathy.

Sorry so long! Thank you for keeping me busy on this long sleepless night. I wish you much love my dear! 💋💋
