David Patrick Kelly's training journey - which he considers to be still ongoing - was of the “school of hard knocks” variety - his words. He considered going to Juilliard but couldn't afford it. So he deliberately set out to cobble together a kind of do it yourself conservatory experience. That journey would take him to Paris where he trained with Marcel Marceau and back to America where he would find his way into the avant-garde theater of Richard Foreman, Hollywood action movies like The Warriors, 48 Hours, Last Man Standing, and the strange world of David Lynch's Twin Peaks. He studied with the legendary Russian, Mira Rostova, who famously coached Montgomery Clift. David also asked for - and got - on set tutorials from Christopher Plummer, Max Von Sydow and Chris Walken, in-between takes on the movie sets they shared. Not bad. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/storyofacting/message

On The Alfred Daily Today: Enmore Green's Oldest Mayday Performer Prepares for Celebration Why Eco Campaigners will put up a big, green pyramid outside Shaftesbury Town Hall History repeats – powerful WW2-set Ukrainian film moves Shaftesbury audience to tears Kate Pickard and Karren Burkett chat ‘over the garden fence' about HSBC closing. Shaftesbury what's ons A variety of images to vote for in Shaftesbury photographic exhibition Shaftesbury writer Richard Foreman's short story ‘Tentacles'  

Copy: David Cote is a theater critic, playwright, and opera librettist who has written for numerous publications such as 4 Columns, Observer, The A.V. Club and Time Out New York. He's written popular companion books about the Broadway hits Moulin Rouge! The Musical, Wicked, Jersey Boys, and Spring Awakening. His operas have been produced in New York, London, Nashville, Chicago, and Cincinnati. In his past life as an actor, he worked with Richard Foreman, Richard Maxwell and Iranian exile auteur Assurbanipal Babilla. He is also one of three artists taking part in the inaugural Ecker Fellows Program at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society & Institute, which aims to explore connections between psychoanalysis and art — therefore he is a perfect guest/patient and our session does not disappoint. David is from a tiny town in New Hampshire—Gilmanton Iron Works, which has a population of 3,945 (it was about 2,200 when he grew up). Grace Metalious' scandalous bestselling novel and TV show Peyton Place was inspired by the town. Taken from his bio, he self-describes as “a weird little adopted kid in rural New Hampshire devouring my Globe Illustrated Shakespeare.” David and I take a deep dive into his growing up as an adopted child and what that meant to him personally, and how it affected his life up until now, after he has faced a tragedy of losing his wife, Katy, to cancer at the way-too-young age of 48. They were together for nine years. David talks about how he met his wife, their first date, her career in audiobooks, and about grief, in a way that you can sense how it affects him. Through this, you can see how David's passion and connection to his writing practice illuminate the power in the way creative work can help us live.

On this episode of PRAISING KANE we're once again doubling up, starting with an episode of the eighth season of LAVERNE & SHIRLEY which is without Shirley, Lenny or Squiggy.. but we do have dog murder, Charles Fleischer and not much else, except Carol Kane as a streetwise fortune teller. We follow that with the 1981 film adaptation of Richard Foreman's avant-garde play STRONG MEDICINE, steeped in the subject matter championed by his Ontological-Hysteric Theater. Hear us struggle with material we're woefully out of step with! All that and the latest Carol Kane news. CHECK IT OUT.

As a special Christmas treat we've recorded a festive bonus episode discussing over a glass of wine (or two!), the standout military history books of the year, and the wider stories that surround them. Patrick and Saul are joined by two good friends of theirs - fellow historian Jessie Childs and publicist and historical novelist Richard Foreman.Producer: James HodgsonTwitter: @PodBattleground Hosted on Acast.

Le Rendez-vous culture nous emmène à Arles, dans le sud de la France, où se poursuivent jusqu'au 25 septembre les 53e Rencontres internationales de la photographie. Pas moins de 40 expositions sont au programme. À l'affiche, il y a notamment la photographe et cinéaste expérimentale française Babette Mangolte. Âgée aujourd'hui de 81 ans, elle est connue notamment pour ses clichés de danse dans le New York des années 1970. Ses photos sont exposées autour du thème « Capter le mouvement dans l'espace ». Babette Mangolte, a rencontré aux États-Unis les plus grands chorégraphes et metteurs en scène américains. Tout a commencé pour elle au début des années 1970, lorsque cette passionnée de théâtre, fraîchement sortie de la prestigieuse école Louis Lumière à Paris, s'installe à New York, où elle vit toujours. Depuis, elle n'a cessé d'explorer l'espace et le temps, le mouvement, le rythme et la chorégraphie des corps. Elle se souvient parfaitement d'ailleurs du moment où elle a fait le choix de documenter, par ses photos, la scène chorégraphique new-yorkaise. Elle nous le raconte : « J'ai commencé à avoir un rapport avec la photographie comme étant un acte créatif quand j'ai rencontré Richard Foreman. La première fois que j'ai vu sa pièce, je me suis dit, ça je sais photographier, je n'ai pas besoin d'écouter le dialogue. C'était tellement visuel. Il y avait très peu de monde qui regardait ses pièces, je me suis dit: "je vais prendre des photos de quelque chose que personne ne voit, mais dans vingt ans, elles vont avoir une raison d'être." C'est là, où je me suis sentie photographe ». Ce qui est si remarquable dans l'œuvre de Babette Mangolte, c'est sa manière de percevoir et de transmettre le mouvement à travers l'image. Cela nécessite de ne pas se laisser surprendre et d'anticiper, comme l'explique la commissaire de l'exposition Maria Ines Rodrigues : « Elle voit les pièces deux, trois fois, avant de commencer à les photographier, de la sorte, elle comprend ce qui s'y passe, quel est le contexte, comment est la scène, qui sont tous les danseurs et les acteurs. C'est tout le contexte qui l'intéresse ». En 50 ans de carrière, Babette Mangolte a donc su immortaliser les créations d'artistes tels que Trisha Brown, Richard Foreman, Simon Forti, ou Robert Morris, et bien d'autres artistes. L'exposition qui lui est consacrée à Arles à la chapelle Sainte-Anne a été divisée en huit parties distinctes. « On voulait utiliser l'architecture de l'église, constituée de huit chapelles et un chœur. On s'est dit qu'on allait attribuer une chapelle par chorégraphe. Pour les artistes qui ont travaillé ensemble, Babette a voulu rétablir les liens, c'est pour cela que certaines chapelles regroupent deux chorégraphes. Évidemment, Tisha Brown, avec laquelle elle a le plus collaboré, se trouve dans le chœur », précise Maria Ines Rodrigues. Babette Mangolte s'est vue remettre lors de la semaine d'ouverture du festival d'Arles le prestigieux prix Women in Motion décerné annuellement depuis 2019 pour mettre en évidence les femmes photographes.  L'exposition de Babette Mangolte est à découvrir jusqu'au 25 septembre à l'église Sainte-Anne dans le centre-ville d'Arles.

This time on Alfred, the podcast for Shaftesbury, The Vale and Chase areas of North Dorset and West Wiltshire: The Hilltop Litter Pickers voluntarily keep our town tidy. And now the thirty-strong group has been given the first ever Rachel Caldwell Award in recognition of their service. We meet the group, learn what they do and hear their ideas on how to drastically reduce litter. And where are Shaftesbury’s litter hot spots? (00.30) A group of Shaftesbury creative writers has written a short selection of stories inspired by the town. ‘Shaftesbury Tales’ will be published as a book and performed as part of Shaftesbury Fringe. Alfred talks with writers Jenny Parker and Richard Foreman. (08.10) A new supermarket could be built on Shaftesbury’s Cattle Market site. But why don’t they use the empty former Co-Op store on Bell Street instead? Local retailer David Perry explains why. Some locals think that Marks and Spencer would be suitable for the unoccupied Bell Street store. David doesn’t think that M&S would be interested. He tells us why. And Royal British Legion Chairman Robin Miller offers his local solution for occupying the empty unit. (11.20) If your neighbour has a wonderful garden, report them… to Shaftesbury in Bloom! Derek Beer talks about the categories and nomination process as his group prepares to recognise Shaftesbury locals who have put effort into their outdoor spaces. (15.15) We take a tour of one of Shaftesbury’s most inspiring private gardens, tucked away on St James St. Andi Blows takes Alfred around her incredible garden that features a ‘secret’ pond, hidden behind a high hedge archway. (18.40) Many Shaftesbury area clubs, groups and organisations filled the Town Hall for the first Civic Day. We chat to some of them, listen to the Shaftesbury Community Choir and meet the voluntary group that will help you keep fit and make new friends! The event was a success and it will become a regular fixture of North Dorset life. (21.00) In the autumn, MPs could vote to abolish North Dorset’s Parliamentary constituency. If the change takes place, the new seat will cover Shaftesbury and Warminster. South West Wiltshire MP Dr Andrew Murrison thinks that this change could bring benefits to Shaftesbury, The Vale and Chase. He explains why. And as we prepare for the dissolution of the current North Dorset and Dorset Councils, Andrew shares his experience of Wiltshire’s journey towards a unitary authority. (29.17)

In a program note to "Lava," Richard Foreman suggests that his new play "may at first seem even a bit more perplexing than the 'unbalancing acts' that are performed" in his other works. Theatergoers are forewarned and forearmed. For 20 years, this author and director has been offering ideographic emanations of his inner life. In a sense, he posts road maps without destinations. As with "Lava," the journey is intriguing, although the extent of the interest depends on one's willingness to indulge the playwright's fancifulness. The plays are mysteries, and some are so elusive as to defeat even the most diligent of private investigators. All a theatergoer can hope to do is to collect clues and leap to conclusions, especially difficult in the case of "Lava."

Richard Foreman and Wilford Leach: SDCF's James Furlong sat down with two preeminent stage directors who also design, Richard Foreman and Wilford Leach, for a 90 minute discussion about navigating the often contentious relationship of collaboration. Sharing similar origins, both Foreman and Leach discuss how their affinity for designing sets came from a "do it yourself" mentality which developed from an early necessity of their productions. As they grew as artists the two began practicing different philosophies of design and collaboration; Leach crafting a set from the center outward to ensure it fits into any touring venue, while Foreman moves from a frame inward to give the actors a concrete foundation wherein the story can inhabit. Despite many differing philosophies of collaboration and design both agree that, for them, set design and stage direction are inextricably linked in their process of creating theatre. What follows is a conversation between two theatre artists who refuse to compartmentalize their work. They rather view themselves as artists endeavoring to make an entire object, as a result of which directing and designing follow as natural bi-products. Originally recorded - August 3, 1985.

Richard Foreman: Professor/Playwright Steven Drukman sat down with theatre artist Richard Foreman in April of 1997 at Artsconnection to discuss theatrical innovation in an interview co-sponsored by SDCF and the Drama League Directors Project. Foreman illuminates an early career of set design as a teenager in Westchester, NY; as an actor at Brown University; as a playwright at Yale. He confides that his origins as a director stem from an unwillingness of his contemporaries to direct his pieces. Drukman questions the reasoning behind the geometric, psychologically-charged staging of his earlier minimalist works in New York and his progression to the maximally theatric. Foreman discusses his 8-12 week rehearsal process, his admiration for film and irrational imagination. This enlightening interview gives listeners the opportunity to experience the mind of one of avant-garde theatre's pioneers, and his theatre of "infantile impulses". Originally recorded - April 10, 1997.

Enjoy this insane conversation between Julie and a very important comedy character and relish each factoid Sappity shares about his devotion to The Red Hot Chili Peppers, his speculation on what Whoopi looks like during a moment of exquisite intimacy, the importance of setting aside time for podcasts, and a very exciting theatrical endeavor he's collaborating on with Richard Foreman.  Also!
