with BJARKE INGELS, the Lead Architect Behind TPAC’s New Performance Home

Bjarke Ingels, the Danish architect, founder, and creative partner of Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) working on the conceptual design for Tennessee Performing Arts Center’s new performance home, sat down with TPAC to share his creative process and what makes this project so unique. TPAC: How would you describe the balance of art and science in architecture and how does that factor into your approach? BJARKE INGELS: In many ways, I am using both the left and right side of the brain. On one hand, you have to trust in your intuition and go with your hunch with a certain confidence. On the other hand, you have to solve a lot of real problems by asking many pointed questions and listening to the thoughtful answers you receive. In architecture, you have to be able to put into words exactly why something is relevant – exactly why something is interesting and why we would want to pursue this. Architecture really is an art and a science, and it’s by bringing these two spheres together that you accomplish something with the potential to be interesting or beautiful, but also practical and realizable. TPAC: Designing a performing arts center is considered one of the hardest, most intricate projects. What makes them so unique? INGELS: Wagner called opera the Gesamtkunstwerk, which means “the total work of art” because you have all the arts coming together in a singular expression. The music,
drama, theatre, storytelling, set design, and costumes need to be funneled through a single delivery. It is so interesting for an architect to design one of these cultural spaces because the architecture is that single expression. TPAC: As an architect with projects all around the globe, what are you wanting to bring to Music City? INGELS: As an art form, architecture is a bit like portraiture. I often get the question, “In architecture, isn’t it annoying that you always have to listen to clients with their demands and requests?” But because architecture is like portraiture, you may ask, is the Mona Lisa an expression of DaVinci as an artist, or an expression of Mona Lisa the woman, the subject? The answer is both. A great portrait captures the likeness of the subject, but also the character, the personality, the soul – and maybe the potential of the subject. In this case, the subject is TPAC, which is very much alive and active in the city and is going to be one of the cornerstones of the new Nashville. And it could be a building that expresses to the city, “Here is a performing arts center where you can enjoy the performing arts,” and a building that expresses to the rest of the country and the world what kind of a state and what kind of a city Tennessee and Nashville are. TPAC: Why did you say yes to this project?
INGELS: A performing arts center is a project where an architect can unleash all the aspects of the art and the profession. And, it isn’t very often that a significant city sets out to create a new one. In Europe, many of them are from former centuries. So, that in itself is an amazing opportunity and worth traveling far for. Also, I think Nashville really is a city in America that is having a renaissance. It is about to redefine itself as it goes into a new stage of its evolution as a city. It is a very exciting thing to be part of as an architect. TPAC: How do you envision TPAC’s new performance home impacting Tennessee and Nashville in the future? INGELS: One thing that is important to understand about architecture is that our city isn’t the way it is because it always has been. It is the way it is because that is exactly how far the people that came before us got in creating a framework for the life they wanted to live. Because we know that life is always evolving, the life of the city is always evolving. The city we live in, the framework that was created; it was for how the city was, not how the city is today. As an architect, you don’t know what building you’re going to design when you begin. You discover it along with everyone else and arrive there together. I think we’re arriving at something that will be a unique expression of Nashville today and will allow the people of Nashville and citizens of Tennessee to see themselves in a new way.

MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL 2 WILL DOCK AT TPAC IN MAY STORY BY
Robert Viagas Hot flash for fans of the 2001 comedy Menopause The Musical! The show’s sequel, Menopause The Musical 2: Cruising Through ‘The Change’, is coming to the Tennessee Performing Arts Center May 4-5. This time, the ladies are headed out to sea on a luxurious cruise. What Is Different About Menopause 2: Five years after their chance encounter in the lingerie department of Bloomingdale’s department store in New York, the four mature friends reunite to pursue their “trip of self-discovery” aboard a cruise ship. Their journey is described as “a heartfelt look at the joys of menopause and friendship — plus…mood swings, weight gain and memory lapses.” The new show has a completely different song list. What Are Some of the Songs I Will Hear?: These are some of the new titles, though you may recognize the songs they are spoofing: “Holding Out for a Vino,” “Let’s Hear It for the Toy,” “I Don’t Look Good Naked Anymore,” and parodies of hits including “Come What May,” “Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend,” “Knock Three Times,” “Lady Marmalade” and “Roxanne.”

Scenes from Menopause The Musical 2: Cruising Through ‘The Change’.
Who Are the Four Characters in the Show?: Professional Woman – She is a working mother and grandmother in a powerful position in her career. A control freak with an attitude, she is out of control with the big “M,” and has little patience with the havoc it is wreaking on her life. Soap Star – She is obviously past the ingenue that she has played on a popular soap opera. She is struggling, unsuccessfully, to come to grips with aging because it affects her livelihood and her life. Earth Mother – A vegetarian and possibly an herbalist. She follows astrology, and she might wear Birkenstocks and socks. Iowa Housewife – Not quite in shape, though her clothes make her look frumpier than she really is. She has no sense of style but possesses naïve wisdom and is in the midst of grieving the loss of her husband of 30 years. Who Wrote Menopause 2?: Like the first show, the sequel has a book and parody lyrics by Jeanie Linders, set to the music of popular songs from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s. Can You Follow Menopause 2 Without Having Seen the Original Menopause The Musical? Yes. Is This Show Only for Women?: While the show makes for a great girls’ night out, men enjoy it too. Where Did Menopause The Musical Originate?: The original production premiered at the Church Street Theatre in Orlando, Florida on March 28, 2001. An Off-Broadway production opened the following year and ran 1500 performances, followed by long-running productions in Las Vegas, Chicago, Los Angeles, Detroit and Boston. Seen by more than 17 million people so far, Menopause The Musical has played every state in the continental U.S., more than 500 cities worldwide, and has been translated into nine languages. Where Did This Version, Menopause The Musical 2: Cruising Through ‘The Change’, Originate?: The sequel opened its premiere tour in September 2023 at Bucks County Playhouse in New Hope, Pennsylvania.

SYNOPSIS The Simon & Garfunkel Story chronicles the amazing journey shared by the folk-rock duo, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. It tells the story from their humble beginnings as Tom & Jerry to their incredible success as one of the best-selling music groups of the ’60s to their dramatic split in 1970. It culminates with the famous “The Concert in Central Park” reunion in 1981 with more than half a million fans in attendance. Using state of the art video projection, photos and original film footage, the show also features a full live band performing all of their hits, including “Mrs. Robinson” (featured in the 1967 film The Graduate), “Cecilia,” “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” “Homeward Bound” and many more. With more than 100 million album sales since 1965, Simon & Garfunkel’s perfect harmonies and songs that poignantly captured the times made them one of the most successful folk-rock duos of all time. Over the years, they won 10 Grammy® Awards and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. In 1977, their Bridge Over Troubled Water album was nominated at the 1977 Brit Awards for Best International Album. In 2003, Simon and Garfunkel were awarded a Grammy® Lifetime Achievement Award and the following year saw their “The Sound of Silence” awarded a Grammy® Hall of Fame Award.
