Check out this podcast replay of the SDCF Panel: Art of Collaboration with Shana Carroll, Jesse Robb, and Jessica Stone that we hosted at the Museum of Broadway. They discuss the ins and outs of their creative processes as they collaborated on Water for Elephants, both the finer details as well as overarching ideas about what goes into a productive collaboration on a show. This was a moderated panel with dedicated time for a Q & A. We hosted this panel in August 2024. This video and audio was recorded by Michael Weir supported by the Maria Torres Emerging Artists Foundation. Transcript available upon request. Shana Carroll is Co-Founding Artistic Director of the Montreal based circus company The 7 Fingers. Since its founding in 2002, Carroll has written, directed and choreographed 12 of their touring and/or resident shows, 3 of which (Passengers, Duel Reality, Dear San Francisco) are currently running, and which also includes Sequence 8 at NY City Center and Traces off- Broadway run at Union Square Theatre. Carroll received a Drama Desk Nomination for Choreography and Best Theatrical Experience for their show Traces. Outside The 7 Fingers, Carroll directed Cirque du Soleil's first- ever ice show Crystal, in addition to their performance at the Academy Awards in 2012. Also, for Cirque du Soleil, Carroll was circus choreographer and designer for their shows Iris (Los Angeles) and Paramour (Broadway). Other credits include: Queen of the Night (Drama Desk Recipient); Soul of the Ocean (Moment Factory); Cité Mémoire (Lemieux-Pilon); and the Sochi Winter Olympics Opening Ceremonies (medieval segment). Prior to directing and choreography, Carroll was herself a trapeze artist, performing for over 20 years in the air with circuses and dance companies around the world, most notably as the original solo trapeze artist for Cirque du Soleil's Saltimbanco. She also appeared in Cirque du Soleil produced television and film. Now based in Montreal, where she relocated in 1991 to attend l'École Nationale de Cirque, Carroll is originally from Berkeley, California. In 2023, Carroll was inducted into the Ordre of Arts and Letters of Quebec, a distinction honoring those who have contributed to artistic and cultural development in the province of Quebec. Most recently, Carroll was Circus Designer and Co-choreographer of the musical Water For Elephants, first at the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta and now in its Broadway run at the Imperial Theatre, for which she received a Suzi Bass Award and the Chita Rivera Award for Best Choreography, as well as Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics' Circle nominations in the same category. Jesse Robb's work spans Broadway, Cirque Du Soleil, Momix, Les Ballet Jazz de Montréal, Mirvish Productions, Disney, Cameron Mackintosh, Prime Video, Opera Philadelphia, and more. He is the co-choreographer (alongside Shana Carroll) for the Broadway production of Water For Elephants, which was nominated for seven Tony Awards including Best Musical. Jesse and Shana were nominated for Tony, Drama Desk, and OCC Awards and received the 2024 Chita Rivera award for Outstanding Choreography. Jesse is the Movement Director for the North American Touring, South Korean, and Japanese productions of the international hit Les Misérables. He was also the Associate Choreographer for the Broadway, North American Touring, and Austrian companies of the 2017 Revival of Miss Saigon. Regionally, Jesse has choreographed at The MUNY, The Alliance Theater (Suzi Bass Award for Outstanding Choreography), The Stratford Festival of Canada, Theatre Calgary, and Ogunquit Playhouse among others.

Vom Gazastreifen aus drangen am 07. Oktober 2023 Terroristen der militant-islamistischen Hamas nach Israel ein und brachten mehr als 1.300 Menschen um, vorwiegend Zivilist:innen. Es war die bislang blutigste Terrorattacke auf israelischem Boden und das schlimmste Blutbad an Jüdinnen und Juden seit dem Holocaust. Noch am gleichen Tag begann Israel mit Luftangriffen auf den Gazastreifen. Wieder einmal ist der Landstrich zum Ausgangspunkt für einen Krieg geworden. Der zugrundeliegende Konflikt und seine Ursachen reichen jedoch weit über Gaza hinaus – und Jahrhunderte, wenn nicht Jahrtausende zurück. In einem Dauerzustand der uns umgebenden Polykrise – von Corona über Ukraine bis Inflation und Klimakrise – scheint dieser erneute Nahostkonflikt der Tropfen zu sein, der in der deutschen Gesellschaft das Fass zum Überlaufen bringt. Seit Monaten tobt der Deutungskampf um diese entsetzlichen Entwicklungen auch bei uns in der Öffentlichkeit. Eine breite Debatte um einen neuen oder vielleicht auch nur plötzlich sehr viel sichtbareren Antisemitismus beschäftigt das Land, von dem in den 1940er Jahren der Holocaust ausging und Europas jüdische Bevölkerung beinahe auslöschte. Emily Tamkin ist eine der profiliertesten jungen jüdischen Stimmen in der US-Medienlandschaft und hat auch schon zwei Bücher zum Thema vorgelegt – „The Influence of Soros“ und zuletzt „Bad Jews“. Sie schreibt für die „Washington Post“, „Slate“ und „Foreign Affairs“. Mit ihr sprechen wir über den Blick von Amerikas jüdischer Community auf den Nahostkonflikt. Danach unterhalten wir uns mit Julia Wolrab, seit 2020 wissenschaftliche Leiterin des Dokumentationszentrums Nationalsozialismus Freiburg, über die Sicht einer Historikerin der NS-Zeit auf den Resonanzraum des Gazakriegs in Deutschland – und wie die aktuellen Demokratieproteste gegen Rechtsextremismus ins Bild passen. Ein Disclaimer: Zwischen den beiden Gesprächen sind einige Wochen vergangen – die Themen, über die wir uns unterhalten, bleiben aber dennoch über das Tagesgeschehen hinaus relevant.

It iiiiiis Sportsfeld Storytime. This month, we are looking back to the Raptors' first trip to the Conference Finals. The 2015-16 Raptors won 56 games, hosted the NBA All-Star Game, then survived two Game 7's en route to facing one of the best teams of the modern era in the Eastern Conference Final. In episode 1, the guys go through what was -- at the time -- the best season in Raptors history. A deep bench, two All-Star guards in their prime, and the early making of the 905 development system helping young players make the leap from the G-League to an NBA rotation. Plus, Jake made his return to the stage in Montreal, as the play Bad Jews runs throughout the entire Raptors post-season, leaving him screaming at the television alone in a bar surrounded by people who speak French.

Michael Zegen is an actor who may be most well known for his various roles on TV, including Joel Maisel, on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and Damien Keefe, on Rescue Me, in addition to various recurring roles on Boardwalk Empire, The Walking Dead, How To Make It In America, and Girls. Michael made his Broadway debut in Ivo Van Hove's Tony Award winning A View From The Bridge starring opposite Mark Strong in 2015.

His film credits include The Seagull, Frances Ha, Brooklyn, Adventureland, and Taking Woodstock. You can currently catch Michael back on the Broadway stage in the breakout play Trouble In Mind.  Michael chats about his newest role as Al Manners in Trouble In Mind, calling the production bittersweet as Alice Childress (the black female playwright) was never able to see her dream of having a play on Broadway come to fruition while she was alive. He opens up about what he finds so satisfying about performing on stage, but why ultimately he's not particular about the medium (film, TV, theatre), as long as he's doing good work with great people.

The young playwright Joshua Harmon made a splash with his comedy “Bad Jews” in 2012, which was initially presented at the Roundabout Theatre Company’s black-box theater and was later produced at its larger Laura Pels Theatre. The play not only got great reviews, it also received productions at numerous regional theaters around the country. Now Roundabout is mounting another Harmon play, “Significant Other,” a romantic comedy about a gay man in his 20s watching his female friends pair up around him as he remains single and a little lonely. It stars Gideon Glick and is directed by Trip Cullman. New York Times theater critic Charles Isherwood explains why Harmon’s new work is good summer entertainment.
