Alexandria Wailes is an accomplished actor, choreographer and dancer who just this last season appeared on Broadway in the acclaimed revival of Ntozake Shange's seminal play “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow Is Enuf.” The production, directed by UNCSA alum Camille A. Brown, held one notable surprise, the use of American Sign Language, since Alexandria, who is Deaf, played the Lady in Purple, a part that had not originally been written as a Deaf character. This was not her first time on Broadway. She understudied Marlee Matlin in the revival of “Spring Awakening,” and then she went on in the part for the run's final month. Before that, she acted in the legendary Deaf West Theatre production of “Big River,” which after its Broadway run toured throughout the U.S. and even played not once but twice in Tokyo.She's acted in some of the country's most respected regional theaters, from Minneapolis's Mixed Blood Theater to Los Angeles's Kirk Douglas Theater, and she has also been featured in several popular TV shows, including “Nurse Jackie” and “Law and Order: Criminal Intent.” She is a member of Heidi Latsky Dance Company, and she is the co-founder of BHO5, a company whose mission is, “to usher in a new era of authentic artistic representation of American deaf people.” In this episode, Alexandria describes how she crafted her remarkable career as a multidisciplinary performer and explains the work that must still be done to ensure that not only Deaf but also hearing performers can feel fully informed and bolstered in work that features Deaf artists and/or subjects. http://www.alexandriawailes.com/home.htmlhttps://www.bho5.org/

Described by The New York Times as “one of America's most peculiarly original dance poets,” choreographer Trey McIntyre has made a habit of defying expectations throughout his career. A graduate of UNCSA, he went on to the Houston Ballet Academy where upon finishing his training, he was given the position of Choreographic Apprentice at the Ballet, a post created specifically for him.As his freelance career started to take off, he did something completely unexpected. Rather than tether himself to a large coastal metropolis or a European capital, he decided to settle down in Boise, ID, where he created Trey McIntyre Projects, a vibrant dance company that quickly garnered the world's attention, spending up to 22 weeks a year on national and international touring. Then 10 years later in 2014, at the height of the company's success, Trey decided to fold the company and return to freelancing.He continues to be an in-demand choreographer around the world — just before the pandemic he created works for Queensland Ballet, San Francisco Ballet and The Washington Ballet — but lately he has also been diving into a new artistic passion. He has a photographic practice, creating kinetic and often erotic tableaux of the human body, that he supports through a network of fans via a Patreon account. In 2018 he also directed “Gravity Hero,” a documentary about his journey with his Boise-based dance company.In this interview with Pier Carlo Talenti, Trey discusses why and how he has always pushed himself past comfort zones in order to feed his voracious curiosity and wonders what it will take for dance companies to remain equally curious and nimble in the digital age.www.treycool.com

While working on a project in Portland, OR over a decade ago, theater-maker Aaron Landsman accepted a colleague's invitation to attend a city-council meeting. In between moments of boredom typical to such meetings, Landsman, who had made a career of making works of theater in a variety of unusual settings, glimpsed inherently theatrical moments. The clincher came when a well-dressed sixtysomething by the name of Pete Colt, clearly well-known to and barely tolerated by the city councilors, testified about the drug-related paraphernalia that littered a children's park in the city. At the end of his testimony, to make his point, he dumped the contents of his briefcase — the very litter he'd railed against — on the table in front of him. Thus was sown the seed of what would become “City Council Meeting,” a participatory theatrical event that Aaron — along with his collaborators, director Mallory Catlett and theater artist and visual designer Jim Findlay — mounted in several American cities, including New York City, Tempe, AZ and Houston, TX. Just this past summer, University of Iowa Press published Mallory and Aaron's “The City We Make Together: City Council Meeting's Primer for Participation,” a thorough and galvanizing examination of their process that is sure to inspire a new generation of artists looking to engage communities in the intricacies of making democracy.Since “City Council Meeting,” Mallory and Aaron have continued building their remarkable and eclectic careers. Mallory is now the co-artistic director of the legendary Mabou Mines theater company and is developing several new operas, and Aaron is artist in residence at Abrons Art Center in New York and is preparing the premiers of “Night Keeper,” a new work commissioned by The Chocolate Factory Theater, and “Trouble Hunters,” a performance created in collaboration with artists in Serbia.In this interview with Pier Carlo Talenti, Mallory, who studied dance as a high schooler at UNCSA, and Aaron describe how they developed their unique theatrical viewpoints and esthetic and how throughout their careers they've succeeded in hewing to their iconoclastic artistic passions. https://mallorycatlett.net/https://www.maboumines.org/http://www.thinaar.com/https://perfectcity.org/

This podcast was recorded on the show floor of USITT22 at Studio USITT in partnership with AKG by Harman.On this week's episode, we sat down with 2022 YDMT winner of the USITT Scene Design Award Sponsored by Rose Brand, Kevin Lee McBee.We chatted about his work on and off the traditional stage, both in theme parks and museums, as well as his design inspirations and industry passionsMore about Kevin: My name is Kevin Lee McBee and I am a story-focused designer with a passion for theater, film and long form television. I was born in Memphis, Tennessee and grew up in the green, leafy humidity of North Carolina. My parents lovingly tolerated their strange son and provided all the art supplies I could get my grubby hands around. My previous work ranges from rebranding cultural institutions to writing, designing, and art directing experiences in theme parks and museums. I attended UNCSA's School of Design and Production and received my MFA in Scenic Design in 2021. I currently live and work in Los Angeles as a Scenic and Set Designer and can, more often than not, be found drinking coffee or filling up a sketchbook one page at a time - or on my motorcycle headed somewhere to do both at once. I firmly believe that design is both lens and mirror - a way to better understand the world, the self, and those within it. And a world without design and art is all the poorer for it.TECHnically Speaking is a public service of USITT, which seeks to have a broad conversation on topics of interest to its members, but it is neither a legal interpretation nor a statement of Institute policy.

UNCSA alumnus Gregg Mozgala, after years of performing on some of Off-Broadway's finest stages, is enjoying a well-earned banner year. He recently completed a national tour playing the title character in “Teenage Dick,” a modern take on Shakespeare's “Richard III” centered on the experience of a high school student with cerebral palsy, and this summer he appeared in “Richard III” itself, alongside film and theater star Danai Gurira, in the Public Theater's revered Shakespeare in the Park season. This fall he will cap off the year with his Broadway debut in Martyna Majok's Pulitzer Prize-winning “The Cost of Living,” reprising the leading role he performed in the play's premiere at Manhattan Theatre Club in 2018.Gregg can credit that success not only to his acting but also his producing skills. In 2012, determined to make disability and people with disabilities more visible on the nation's stages, he founded The Apothetae, a New York-based theater company dedicated to the production of works that explore and illuminate the disabled experience. The Apothetae has developed several new plays and adaptations from and with both established and up-and-coming artists — disabled and non-disabled, Deaf and hearing — and it is through The Apothetae's commissioning program that playwright Mike Lew completed “Teenage Dick.”In this interview with Pier Carlo Talenti, Gregg describes how an understanding of his cultural lineage as a disabled performer led him to create a company that celebrates displaying disabled bodies and their stories with unassailable authenticity.http://www.greggmozgala.com/http://www.theapothetae.org/

In this episode we are joined by Marina Zurita, Acadia Barrengos, and Mollye Maxner, talking all things theatre directing. Acadia Barrengos is a theatre director hailing from New England. She found her home in directing through molecular genetic study of pregnancy and childbirth poetry and dance which brought her to North Carolina University of the Arts. Inspired by the research and study of epigenetics, Acadia is driven by stories that wrestle with inheritance, and is fascinated by the discovery that we can adapt how our bodies read our DNA coding to evolve through and beyond intergenerational trauma. Marina Zurita is a theatre director born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and she likes to think of theatre as a powerful gap between translations, home for lost voices and interpretations. She moved to the USA in 2016, and is currently pursuing a BFA in directing as UNCSA. Living in a foreign location fuelled her passion for anthropological research in linguistics, inspiring her to develop her upcoming project ‘Mother Tongue', to be performed in the spring of 2022. Mollye Maxner is an educator, director, choreographer and maker of original performance work. Her movement theatre work has been performed in the USA, Taiwan, Germany, Georgia, and throughout Turkey. Mollye is on the faculty at UNC school of the Arts, where she is director and co-creator of the studio for creative practice, a laboratory for transdisciplinary art and inquiry. https://www.acadiabarrengos.com https://www.marinazurita.com We want to hear from YOU and provide a forum where you can put in requests for future episodes.

I'm so excited to introduce you to my guest on the podcast today, my good friend, fellow dance educator and UNCSA alumnus as well as physical comedian, actor, writer, musician, super-talented and wonderful guy Matthew Donnell! This conversation is just packed with nuggets of wisdom for dancers and all creative people. We talk about the highs and lows of being a multi-passionate jack-of-all-trades, his highlights as a professional ballet dancer, how to fall down and get back up again, the importance of révérence, character dance, and learning a variety of techniques in addition to ballet training, developing character in dancers and human beings, serving our communities, helping dancers find their voice, and we assert that all people are valuable! "Two things in my career that I will loudly proclaim that I am proud of and one is that fall, and the other one is the successful unionization of Kansas City Ballet and making the call to get that ball rolling because ... we ensured that they would have a great contract for the history of that company and that helped those dancers start learning to have a voice for themselves ... Managers and directors want to have the best product. Dancers want to have the best product, where's the disconnect? If you can put a mechanism in place that allows both parties to work together, that's so important ... I try to teach students that, too. That's why my class doesn't go over. I end my class on time ... I want the dancers to learn that their time is valuable." - Matthew Donnell Thanks again for listening, definitely check out Matthew's website matthewdonnell.com as well as his current teaching with the Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet.

Stephen McKinley Henderson has a resume that most actors in his generation would — and probably do — envy. Trained first at Juilliard and then at UNCSA, he has been working steadily onstage for more than four decades, performing in classical and contemporary plays in theaters around the country. In 1996 he originated the role of Turnbo in August Wilson's “Jitney” in Pittsburgh and then went on to play the part many more times around the country, including in a hugely successful Off-Broadway run that netted him a Drama Desk Award. He eventually played the part at the National Theatre in London in 2001 in a production that won “Jitney” the Olivier Award for Best Play. Since then, he has appeared on Broadway several more times, including in two August Wilson plays, “King Hedley II” and “Fences,” earning a Tony nomination for best supporting actor in the latter. In recent years Stephen has also amassed an impressive film resume. When Denzel Washington directed “Fences” for the screen, he asked his Broadway castmate Stephen to reprise his role in the film adaptation. Between 2016 and 2017 alone, Stephen was featured in three films that were nominated for the Best Picture Oscar: “Fences,” “Manchester by the Sea” and “Lady Bird.” Later this year he will appear in one of the most anticipated films of recent years, Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of “Dune,” and he recently wrapped filming in horror auteur Ari Aster's latest film, “Disappointment Blvd,” starring Joaquin Phoenix. In this interview with Pier Carlo Talenti, Stephen reveals how as a young man a terrifying period of literal and metaphoric paralysis helped make him the artist he is today, a revolutionary optimist that renowned directors and playwrights alike know they can trust explicitly with their work.

In this episode our conversation centered around accents and dialects. They talk about how stereotypes and cultural norms/expectations affect how we talk and how that impacts us as actors. Advice from Robin includes, “I’m more interested in you speaking the truth than having a pretty voice. Leave out the judgement.” While Kate adds, “Shame is the great destroyer of talent.” Robin Christian-McNair teaches voice full time at UNCSA's School of Drama. Before coming to the school she taught at the Actors Studio, Rutgers, Syracuse, and Purchase College Conservatory. In her teaching, Robin focuses on freedom of breath, body and self expression. She trains actors to always acknowledge and honor their cultural heritage. Kate Udall is a visiting professor at UNCSA's school of Drama where she is teaching voice. She has worked in many regional theatre productions around the country and performed in several off Broadway shows. On screen she has appeared in Blue Bloods, Law & Order, and had a recurring role on Daredevil.

This week on 5.6.7.EIGHT, Aleksandra interviews Misha Tchoupakov, Assistant Professor in the School of Dance at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts (UNCSA). Tchoupakov’s resume is impressive, having been classically trained at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy in Moscow and having toured professionally for a number of ballet companies, including the Bolshoi Ballet (Russia), the Vienna State Opera Ballet (Austria), the Los Angeles Classical Ballet, and several others. Misha also has been teaching ballet since 1988 and, in addition to his work at UNCSA, currently serves as Resident Master Teacher for the Youth America Grand Prix Competition and as an international, touring ballet instructor. On the podcast, Misha shares his unique and compelling story of dancing ballet in the Soviet Union and how this wonderful path was actually chosen for him. Yet, in light of being pushed in this direction, he reflects on the magic of the art and how, now, he finds joy in touring America and the world, teaching others how to hone their craft and how they can — and must — learn to work smarter, not harder.

Ideas on what it takes to achieve that and how the concept itself is something that is truly worth practicing in order to maintain a career that you deem successful without getting burned out and a personal or family life that you are present for without having to give up a fruitful career. All without feeling as though one is getting less attention than the other. Easy, right? Jason and I speak from two different backgrounds.

We're back for more with the Director of Lighting at the UNCSA School Of The Arts Design and Production Department! This time, we discuss an exciting project that serves the area around UNCSA, as well as the lighting students themselves: the Winston–Salem Light Project. Students create major architectural lighting installations on landmark buildings and in other spaces, and in the process, are introduced to an entirely different part of the business from performance lighting. We discussed Norman's professional career: his work on Broadway, in regional theater, on corporate events, and for opera, including his work during the summer at the Princeton Festival, and also had a chance to discuss his thoughts on the business itself. We are immensely thankful that he was able to spend so much time with us. Thanks for downloading and listening!

Just over 40 years ago, Norman Coates took a trip from Philadelphia to New York to see a production of Waiting For Godot. Before the show was over, he knew he'd found the art he truly loved. Norman's passion for lighting has driven him to create stunning designs on Broadway and off, for national tours, in regional theaters and opera houses all over the US, as well as become the Director of Lighting in the Design and Production Department at UNCSA, a position he has held for over 25 years. Join us for the first of two episodes with Norman, where we'll hear about his thoughts and philosophy on teaching lighting design, how the program at UNCSA works, and what responsibilities design schools have to their students and to the business. How much should design schools tailor their coursework for the current state of the industry when the industry is always changing? If we strive to teach the fundamentals, what are they? Be sure to come back for the second half of the interview, when we'll discuss the Winston–Salem Light Project, Norman's professional career, and what advice he has for students and new professionals.
