Podcasts about diana wortham theatre

In this episode I share a personal essay that I recently performed at the Diana Wortham Theatre in downtown Asheville, as part of an anniversary celebration for Harvest Records. I provide some background on my being included in the event—Found in Sound: Tales from the Record Store Universe—and the very gratifying process of writing (with the help of an excellent developmental editor) "Music as Divine Consolation." It's basically about how profoundly comforting music can be for us life-beleaguered humans.

Like most leaders in the arts, Heather Maloy spends far more time raising money, hunting for rehearsal spaces and recruiting dancers than she does immersed in the work she's so committed to—cultivating the ideas and creating the dances that are the signature of her Asheville-based company, Terpsicorps Theatre of Dance. For 21 summers, Terpsicorps has fielded troupes of young professionals from all over the U.S. and beyond, who put their feet to the fire of Maloy's imagination. I met with Maloy just before her company started rehearsals for their new production, inspired by Edvard Munch's singular painting, “The Scream.” Performances are July 25 through 27 at Diana Wortham Theatre.We'll talk with the company's founding director about keeping her dream live and evolving her company through two decades of challenges, how she parses through scores of auditioners to select her company and how she defines growth when her company is only on stage for two weekends each year.SPONSOR: Terpsicorps Theatre of Dance returns for one weekend only with the premiere of "Before the Scream." Performances are July 25-27 at the Wortham Center for the Performing Arts. Wake Up, Asheville! and ¡Despierta Asheville!

If you want to stage a dance or theater production in downtown Asheville, your options are limited. You could rent the 40-seat BeBe Theatre or the 35-Below space , operated by Asheville Community Theater, which can hold about 75 people. But if you want marquee appeal, something that can draw foot traffic, you have to rent the Diana Wortham Theatre . "The ability to fill a 500-seat space, for a local company, is sometimes overwhelming," said Rae Geoffrey, the Wortham's executive director. "The size and scope of Diana Wortham Theatre over the years has gotten too large for a lot of people and it has become used so often we frequently don't have space in there." In the past few years, Geoffrey and the Wortham's board grew concerned. They believed the theater's programming didn't reflect Asheville's racial and ethnic diversity and ticket prices were out of reach for many. So they committed to expanding both the capacity and accessibility of the theater. In September, the rebranded Wortham

At a rehearsal in the Woodfin dance studio of the Asheville Ballet , Rebecca O'Quinn is watching two middle-aged women rehearse a duet O'Quinn created around the prop of an overstuffed loveseat. "They kind of take turns running around the couch and flipping over the couch, and are in relationship with each other, and it's not clear what the relationship is," she said of this dance work, part of an Asheville Ballet program May 17-18 at Diana Wortham Theatre in Asheville. That unclear relationship could be a metaphor for O'Quinn's own artistic path.
