Swinging Hammer Productions presents “All in the Timing,” one-act plays by David Ives, produced by Tom Challinor with performances Thursday to Sunday January 21-24, 2016 at Bainbridge Performing Arts. Renowned local actors such as John Ellis and Barbara Deering, and local directors will be joined by professional talent from Kitsap and Seattle. We remember the annual One Act Festivals in the last five years that featured multiple new, local playwrights, directors and actors. This year's one-acts will depart from that format, though still featuring some of Bainbridge's best actors and directors. Tom Challinor, formerly Director of Bainbridge Performing Arts' Shakespeare Society, tells BCB host Channie Peters about this year's winter one-act plays - all six in the performance by award-winning playwright, David Ives. David Ives' plays have been described as fast-paced humor with surprises and witty dialogue. "Like sketches for some hilarious, celestially conceived revue. The writing is not only very funny, it has density of thought and precision of poetry…ALL IN THE TIMING is by a master of fun. David Ives spins hilarity out of words." —NY Times "Theatre that aerobicizes the brain and tickles the heart. Ives is a mordant comic who has put the play back in playwright…A wondrous wordmaster." —Time Magazine Find out about Tom Challinor's latest project, Swinging Hammer Productions, which most recently produced David Mamet's "American Buffalo". Tickets for all performances are on sale now at Swinging Hammer, and at Bainbridge Performing Arts or at the box office. The Thursday, January 21st performance is a “pay-what-you-can” preview. All performances start at 7:30 pm. Credits: BCB host: Channie Peters; BCB audio editor: Tim Bird; BCB social media publisher: Barry Peters.

In this podcast, Bainbridge Symphony Orchestra conductor Wes Schulz gives BCB a preview of the first concert on November 14th to kick off the new 4-concert season. The first concert will begin the season with vibrant, joyous pieces by Christopher Rogerson, and Carl Nielson, Denmark's most famous composer, sandwiching in between, Beethoven's 4th piano concerto. Wes also tells BCB about the coming season and why he chose these composers, pieces and collaborations (including with the BI Ballet on stage). The season includes three other concerts after this first one - in February, April and June. Check out the exciting programs here. Maestro Schulz is beginning his fifth season with BSO. Under his leadership, the orchestra has commissioned new works, reinvigorated the Young Artist Competition, brought top soloists to the stage, and collaborated with many Bainbridge arts groups including the Bainbridge Chorale, the Shakespeare Society, and the Edge Improv. Wes enjoys working creatively with all of this community's many talented individuals and groups to produce sold out concerts. Tickets for the November 14 & 15 concerts, as well as the season, are on sale now at the Bainbridge Performing Arts website.

From BCB... http://bestofbcb.org/wu-110-history-of-english-feb-17/ Why are “knight” and “night” pronounced as if they were spelled the same?  How did the English language take on the international prominence it has today?  Why is it the most widely used language on the Internet?   Former high school English teacher Tom Challinor will answer these and other questions as he shares his passion for the history of the English language at the Fields End Speaker Series, February 17 from 7 to 8:30 pm at the Bainbridge Public Library. Challinor is currently the Director of Bainbridge Performing Arts' Shakespeare Society, and his enthusiasm for and knowledge of the evolution of the English language informs not only his teaching, but also his acting and directing.  For his Fields End Lecture he will be explaining how the changes undergone by the English language up to Shakespearean times in the 16th century affect the way English is spoken and used today.   Admission to this and other Fields End Lectures in this series is free.  For more information, go to fieldsend.org.   Credits:  BCB host Channie Peters; BCB audio editor: Tim Bird; BCB social media publishers: Diane and Chris Walker.

The second of four panel discussions held in conjunction with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) residency at The Park Avenue Armory focused on “Directing Shakespeare." David Farr, the RSC's associate director and director of "King Lear" and "The Winter’s Tale" in the company's New York repertoire was joined by Arin Arbus, Associate Artistic Director of The Theater for a New Audience; Karin Coonrod, the founding director of the Arden Party Theater Company; and Mark Lamos, Artistic Director of the Westport County Playhouse. The panel, moderated by the artistic director of The Shakespeare Society, Michael Sexton, took on each individual's personal approach to directing, acting and speech, and included the admission that sometimes "stealing" from other directors is part of the process. Arin Arbus also echoed the remarks of the season's first two directors, Peter Brook and the RSC's Michael Boyd, in expressing belief in the power of hunches. Bon Mots David Farr on Shakespeare’s language: “His language gives you the psychology when you speak it. To get an actor to trust that is more and more unusual ... You are the words that you say. How can you be anything else?” Mark Lamos on conveying the verse through your body: “It’s not this uggabugga thing. You’ve got this great instrument: two feet, two legs, knees that bend, a butt. Breathe through it all. Let it happen.” Karin Coonrod on sussing out Shakespeare’s language: “...The visceral, the necessity, of speaking. ‘Why did you say that in that moment? Why are you full of contradictions?’ He gets more of the psychic cartography of our landscape than many.” Arin Arbus on initial hunches and notions: “It’s never happened to me where the things you find are in contradiction to what your initial instinct is. I don’t know what I would do in that situation. That would be... unfortunate.”
