Hey everyone. I hope everyone is doing well in these crazy times. I don't have too much news on my end. Every Sunday night to Tuesday morning I teach my students in China, but otherwise I've been reading a lot and spending time learning Chinese. I have also been trying to cherish the extra time I have with my parents, which is the silver lining in all of this. Trying to stay positive in all this.Speaking of positive, today I am interviewing Joy-Marie Thompson, a dancer from Pittsburgh. She graduated from SUNY Purchase with a BFA in Dance Performance and works in a variety of mediums, including photography and film. Many people told me I had to talk with Joy-Marie, so I reached out and we had a zoom session in the midst of this pandemic, both of us holed up in our homes. Before everything shut down in the US, Joy-Marie was part of Sleep No More, an immersive theater experience retelling Shakespeare's Macbeth, which we talk about in-depth, along with Joy-Marie's experiences in Europe, her many collaborations, and thinking about the exotification of black culture. I hope you enjoy this.Photography by Sherrie Nickol (@sherrienickol)Links Mentioned:Joy-Marie's WebsiteLINKt Dance FilmIssa Dance LookInterpretationsMy interview with Staycee PearlSleep No MoreShamel Pitts' Black Hole PerformancePearlDiving Movement ResidencyFollow Seeing Color:Seeing Color WebsiteSubscribe on Apple PodcastsFacebookTwitterInstagram

For readers craving a humorous antidote to the sound and the fury of American politics, these clever parodies offer an escapist reprieve for those pining for the previous administration. In Hope Rides Again, Andrew Shaffer provides the highly anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestselling Hope Never Dies. Obama and Biden reprise their roles as BFFs-turned-detectives as they chase Obama's stolen cell phone through the streets of Chicago — and right into a vast conspiracy. And in MacTrump, bestselling authors Ian Doescher and Jacopo della Quercia fictionalize the events of the first two years of the Trump administration — in iambic pentameter. Will MacTrump be able to hold on to his throne? Only time will tell in this tragicomic tale of ambition, greed, and royal ineptitude — based on Shakespeare's Macbeth.

VERONIKA KRAUSAS The works of composer VERONIKA KRAUSAS are performed throughout Europe and North America, where she is recognized for her innovative use of dance, acrobatics and video. The Globe & Mail (Toronto) writes "her works, whose organic, lyrical sense of storytelling are supported by a rigid formal elegance, give her audiences a sense that nature's frozen objects are springing to life." Mark Swed of the Los Angeles Times said of her chamber opera "Something novel this way comes." Since 1998 Krausas has directed, composed for, and produced multi-media events in Los Angeles that incorporate her works with dance, acrobatics and video. Her chamber opera The Mortal Thoughts of Lady Macbeth, based on Shakespeare's Macbeth, was premiered at the New York Opera's VOX 2008 festival. A full production was mounted in Los Angeles in August 2010 to sold out audiences. Other productions were by Goat Hall Productions in San Francisco, Fort Worth Opera's Frontiers Festival, and New Fangled Opera in New Orleans. Her chamber orchestra work Spirals was premiered at the Darmstadt Music Festival (1996) and had a subsequent performance by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. The Penderecki String Quartet gave the US Premiere of midaregami, her work for string quartet and mezzo-soprano at REDCAT Theater in Los Angeles and was performed by the Opium Quartet at the Céret Music Festival. Language of the Birds, a commission for the 25th Anniversary of the San Francisco Choral Artists and the Alexander String Quartet, using text by the poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti, was premiered in 2011 in San Francisco and released on CD with Foghorn Classics. Analemma for chamber orchestra was an official selection of the US for the 2012 World Music Days in Belgium. Recent premières have included: her solo piano pieces UN-intermezzi, performed and recorded by pianist Aron Kallay with subsequent performances by Steven Vanhauwaert at the Amigos De Música de São Lourenço in Almancil Portugal, a new work for harpsichord solo l'ombre du luth (shadow of the lute) for Gloria Cheng for Piano Spheres, and a song cycle The Alchemist's Suite for bass-baritone Nicholas Isherwood and Sillages for 4 double basses on the Los Angeles Philharmonic's Chamber Music Series at Disney Hall in Los Angeles, and a Piano Spheres commission for pianist Steven Vanhauwaert at REDCAT in June 2015. She is one of six composers involved in The Industry's new mobile opera project Hopscotch, the first mobile opera premiering in Los Angeles October 31, 2015. Of Lithuanian heritage, she was born in Australia and raised in Canada. Krausas has music composition degrees from the University of Toronto, McGill University in Montreal, and a doctorate from the Thornton School of Music at USC. She is currently a Professor in the Composition Department at the Thornton School of Music, on the advisory council of Jacaranda Music and People Inside Electronics, an associate artist with The Industry, and a pre-concert lecturer at the Los Angeles Philharmonic. http://www.veronikakrausas.com/

England's great thespian William Macready mounted the stage of the Astor Place Opera House on May 10, 1849, to perform Shakespeare's Macbeth, just as he had done hundreds of times before. But this performance would become infamous in later years as the trigger for one of New York City's most violent events -- the Astor Place Riot.  The theater, being America's prime form of public entertainment in the early 19th century, was often home to great disturbances and riots. It was still seen as a British import and often suffered the anti-British sentiments that often vexed early New Yorkers.  Macready, known as one of the world's greatest Shakespearean stars, was soon rivaled by American actor Edwin Forrest, whose brawny, ragged style of performance endeared the audiences of the Bowery. To many, these two actors embodied many of America's deepest divides -- rich vs. poor, British vs. American, Whig vs. Democrat.  On May 10th, these emotions overflowed into an evening of stark, horrifying violence as armed militia shot indiscriminately into an angry mob gathering outside the Astor Place theater. By the end of this story, over two dozen New Yorkers would be murdered, dozens more wounded, and the culture of the city irrevocably changed.   www.boweryboyshistory.com Support the show.

In the winter of 2008-2009, the students in the advanced film production class at East Hollywood High School undertook a monumental task: to adapt Shakespeare's Macbeth into a feature film. Each student in the class chose a crew position, such as Director of Photography, Production Designer, Gaffer, Producer, or Actor. They then took charge of their responsibilities and worked every day toward the common goal. With a budget of $400, and only two hours a day for three months for filming, there were many challenges. But as you'll see, it's pretty impressive what a bunch of kids can accomplish when they put their minds to it.Starring: Hans Totterer, Chrissy Ellison, Jeremy Higley, Kirk Guthrie, and Ian TravisDirected by: Brandon Arnold
