There are so many reasons why I chose Charleston as my home. The main reason was its arts scene and the energy our city gives to underground shows and bigger events. Spoleto and Piccolo season is the perfect example of that. Last year, I was honored to have my poetry displayed for the Contemporary Charleston show at the City Gallery. This year’s Contemporary Charleston exhibit is reaching even deeper in our city’s art scene and focusing on those who are “Under the Radar.” To find out more, read Olivia Pool’s column on Page 23. Spoleto always brings out the big guns, and this year is full of highlights. Check out our special section for a full schedule, and read Jack McCray’s column on Pages 16-17 for jazz events. Also, log on to www.postandcourier. com/spoleto for blog entries, photos, videos and other coverage. The festivals run May 27-June 12. Visit www.piccolospoleto.com and www. spoletousa.org for information. Have fun, Charleston. - Marcus Amaker

Eye Level Art again goes green with movie series
I
t’s that time of year again when Charleston is overtaken by art, music and theater lovers from around the world. That’s right, Friday is the start of Spoleto Festival USA. For 17 days, you’ll have the opportunity to check out highly acclaimed artists and crafters, plays, musicians and more. The only problem? All those tickets can add up quickly. Luckily, another festival begins Friday: Piccolo Spoleto. Piccolo Spoleto is a sister festival to Spoleto that is designed to be more accessible to families and those of us who don’t want to spend our grocery budget on a theater ticket. It offers free and low-cost admission to hundreds of cultural events. Check out a full schedule at www.piccolospoleto.com.
Movies on Spring
Tonight marks the return of Eye Level Art’s Movies on the Green series. Bring a blanket and enjoy “The Rolling Stone Rock and Roll Circus” in the green space behind the popular Spring Street art gallery. The movie begins around dusk, and admission is free. Upcoming movies include “Best in Show,” “The Three Amigos” and “Anchorman.” Beverages will be available for purchase. Eye Level Art is at 103 Spring St. Visit www.eyelevelart.com.
Concerts on the green
Want to stay away from the traffic on the peninsula? Head out to the Fresh-
fields Village Green at the crossroads of Kiawah and Seabrook islands. In honor of Memorial Day, Freshfields is offering a Weekend Concert Series 6-9 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Friday night, enjoy music from Men of Distinction, followed by a Saturday night performance by Congdon and Company. Sunday evening rounds out the series with music by The 69 Ramblers. The concerts are free, and food and beverages will be available for purchase. Bring a chair or blanket. Visit www.freshfieldsvillage.com.
The mural at Eye Level Art was done by nationally known artist and Charleston native Shepard Fairey. The venue will start its Movies on the Green series tonight.
A day at the lake
If you’ve never been to Trophy Lakes on Johns Island, Saturday would be the perfect day to go. Carolina Watersports at Trophy Lakes offers wakeboarding, waterskiing and more. On Saturday, Trophy Lakes will host Wake Fest, which will begin at 10 a.m. While it costs $35 to wakeboard all day, if you just want to watch, admission is free. The event will feature live music from local artist Keith Duff and food available for purchase. If wakeboarding is not your thing, check out Trophy Lakes’ 18-hole disc golf course. It costs $5 to play all day, and on Saturdays ladies play for free! Trophy Lakes is at 3050 Marlin Road on Johns Island. Call 559-2520 or visit www.carolinawatersports.com.

Second ‘Hangover’ feels awfully familiar
Art Extravaganza over two weekends!
BY CHRISTY LEMIRE AP Movie Critic
I
t’s hard to imagine a more half-hearted attempt at cashing in a second time than “The Hangover Part II.” Seriously, it feels like the script was pieced together with the help of Mad Libs, with only slightly different and raunchier details replacing those that helped the original “Hangover” from 2009 become the highestgrossing R-rated comedy of all time (it made more than $467 million worldwide). But so much of the allure of that first film was the novelty of the premise, the unpredictability of the adventures, and the sense that we, too, were wandering in a daze, helping solve the mystery of the debauched night before. Despite their throbbing heads and increasing sense of panic, these guys clearly had a blast, and they made us wish we could have joined them. That sequence where the motley group of friends wakes up in a fog and surveys the damage in a trashed Las Vegas hotel suite is a brilliant and efficient little piece of storytelling, full of clever details and meticulous production design. Director Todd Phillips, who also co-wrote the script this time (along with Craig Mazin and Scot Armstrong), apparently thought so, too. That’s just one of many gags from the first film that are repeated in “The Hangover Part II.” Giving the people what they want is one thing. Making nearly the exact same movie a second time, but shifting the setting to Thailand, is just ... what, lazy? Arrogant? Maybe a combination of the two. Instead of finding a baby

Bradley Cooper (from left), Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms star in “The Hangover Part II.”
movie review ★★ (of 5)
DIRECTOR: Todd Phillips. STARRING: Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha. RATED: R for pervasive language, strong sexual content including graphic nudity, drug use and brief violent images. RUN TIME: 1 hour, 41 minutes. WHAT DID YOU THINK?: Find this review at www.charlestonscene. com and offer your opinion of the film.
in their hotel room, the guys find a chain-smoking, drugrunning capuchin monkey. Instead of waking up with a missing tooth, Ed Helms’ mild-mannered dentist character, Stu, wakes up with a facial tattoo. Instead of bursting into
song at the piano to sum up how horrible the situation is, Stu bursts into song with an acoustic guitar. And instead of having sex with a hooker with a heart of gold, Stu does it with ... well, we won’t tell you. Suffice it to say, this is Thailand, so it’s not that huge of a shock. Bradley Cooper is also back as the group’s de facto leader, the arrogant Phil, as is Zach Galifianakis as the passive aggressive manchild Alan. Galifianakis’ dark, off-kilter shtick made him the breakout star of the original film, and while he gets many of the best lines here, he’s also even more infuriating. Justin Bartha is along, too, but just barely; as Doug, the groom in the first film, he was missing the entire time. In the sequel, he remains safely ensconced at the group’s luxury seaside resort, so he misses out on yet another wild night. While there’s less of him, there’s also more of Ken Jeong’s character, the obnoxious, effeminate gang-
ster, Mr. Chow. He was the weakest part of the first “Hangover” and gets even more face time here, with no improvement. They’re all there for the wedding of Stu and the beautiful Lauren (Jamie Chung) in her parents’ home country. He insists he doesn’t want the kind of crazy bachelor party that resulted when Doug got married, but he gives in and agrees to have one beer — in a sealed container — on the beach with his friends. Joining them is Lauren’s younger brother, Teddy (Mason Lee), a 16-year-old Stanford pre-med student and cello prodigy. Naturally, the guys all wake up in the squalor of a Bangkok hotel (shot in a tangible, grimy steaminess by Lawrence Sher), absolutely blanking as to what they did the previous night. Again. And yes, that word appears a lot in the script, as in: “I can’t believe this is happening again!” We can.

pany POM Wonderful as the major underwriter for his film. He talks himself into a string of Mini Coopers when he lands the car company as another sponsor, and Ban deodorant, and so on. The film stumbles as a cautionary tale of advertising saturation and manipulation, which is what Spurlock sees as a consequence of all this overt and covert advertis-
ing. He visits Ralph Nader and Noam Chomsky for predictable riffs on the evils of advertising, and Sao Paolo, Brazil, which has banned outdoor advertising (and thus looks naked, like a city in a post-apocalyptic sci-fi film). Spurlock can’t really get at whether product-placement works. Did you buy a Mini Cooper because Sandra Bullock drove one in “Miss Congeniality II?” But he gets one product placer in Hollywood to tell the story of how he strong-armed a filmmaker into not using AlkaSeltzer in an unflattering and comical way in a movie. That’s a little chilling.

★★★★ (of 5) DIRECTOR: Morgan Spurlock. STARRING: Morgan Spurlock, Donald Trump, Ralph Nader, Noam Chomsky, J.J. Abrams, many others. RATED: PG-13 for some language and sexual material. RUN TIME: 1 hour, 30 minutes. WHAT DID YOU THINK?: Find this review at www.charlestonscene.com and offer your opinion of the film. folks who decide to sign on — the Sheetz chain of highway restaurant/convenience store/service stations — are offbeat and funny in their reasoning. There are laughs, though Spurlock seems to crack himself up more often than he does us. And POM Wonderful already has pitched in on a similar stunt, a product-placement gag by Time Magazine back in 2009. The real public service of “Greatest Movie” is learning how these companies protect themselves in the contracts
that Spurlock signs to get them on board. “Greatest Movie” isn’t Spurlock’s best. It plays like an overlong, overly cutesy TV news report on product placement. But if you haven’t been paying close attention to what’s being sold to you on your favorite movies, TV shows and music videos, you will after seeing this. Unless, of course, you’ve already taken a jet black Dodge Challenger for a test drive just to be like Vin Diesel.

Sunset Oasis
Home cooking, Mediterranean-inspired dining offers fresh, generous meals
BY DEIDRE SCHIPANI Special to The Post and Courier
S
unset Oasis: Fine Mediterranean Cuisine is in the Oakbrook neighborhood of Summerville. It began its life as the Oasis Grill and Cafe and became Sunset Oasis for its debut in the summer of 2010. It has broadly embraced the foods of the Mediterranean. Here you will find the cuisines of Greece, Italy, Turkey, and the Arab world along with American classics and Lowcountry favorites. Sunset Oasis throws a culinary dart at the Pan-Mediterranean food icons we have come to know and love. Most of the cooking is scratch and prepared to order. The interior is very sparse. The decor provides little clues as to a sense of place for Sunset Oasis save for the color of its walls that in the evening shimmer in hues of reds and oranges. Umbrella-topped tables line the sidewalk, providing al fresco seating options. The restaurant is a family affair. Jimmy B and company are friendly and engaging hosts willing to accommodate your tastes and appetites, such as splitting a large entree salad for a couple with a smaller appetite or preparing dinner to-go for a couple traveling to the Upstate. The menu features pasta salads ($6.99), lasagna ($9.99), penne pasta ($12.99), and baked ziti ($9.99), an errant Philly cheesesteak ($7.99), crab cakes ($11.99) with remoulade sauce, she-crab soup ($4.25) and assorted wraps, a culinary Ulysses trying to find their
way home. We stayed with the Eastern Mediterranean vernacular and found the food to be fresh, lively and generous in portions. The Oasis mixed platter ($8.99) is a good way to begin. Smooth, supple hummus with a faint edge of the bitterness of tahini delighted; the stuffed grape leaves were tender and pliant. Care had been given to their preparation and the lemony rice spoke of coriander and citrus. The baba ghanoush hit the right notes of smoke and fruit — a well-balanced eggplant puree. The falafel pops with the color green: freshly chopped parsley enhanced the “beany” qualities of its ceci bean base, bringing herbaceous flavor notes and the vibrant color of freshness. Tahini, the ketchup to shawarma and falafel, is balanced and well-seasoned.
The gyro platter ($9.99) features strips of beef and lamb carved in fragrant tendrils and layered over a plate of flat pita bread. It was accompanied by a fresh salad of leafy greens and buttery rice. The restaurant was out of the traditional Greek potatoes at the time of our visit, but the default rice was a soothing companion to the gyro meat. The “roast” vegetables were overcooked and then grilled; however, the thick peels of carrot were a sweet and welcome addition to the flavors of the meats. Another combination platter that allows you to sample multiple offerings is the Mediterranean mixed grill ($16.99). The shrimp and chicken kabobs (served off the skewer) were tender and flavorful. The beef did not fare as well. The kofta was one of the better versions in town and I
The restaurant provides a long list of daily specials that can include a dish from the regular menu offered at a “special” price. The restaurant also hosts “cultural events” in which you pay one price and enjoy a buffet, beverage and are entertained by a belly dancer. Here you will find the Egyptian national dish kushari that features pasta, rice, lentils and tomatoes. It is traditionally topped with onions and guests add fresh lemon juice to their taste. Beverages are limited to soft drinks, iced tea, pink lemonade and Mediterranean coffee. The owner is “working” on a license for the sale of wine and beer.

Spoleto holds the spirit of jazz with notable concerts
J
azz music abounds at this year’s Spoleto Festival USA. So much so, there are two music concerts with serious jazz elements that lie outside the standard series configuration, the Wells Fargo Jazz Series. All the acts are imaginative and virtuosic. Regular festival jazz patrons know the new name, Wells Fargo, as Wachovia Jazz. They also know that producer Michael Grofsorean for a while now has been expanding the param-
eters of his programming. The trend continues this year. In fact, it’s no longer a trend. It’s what it is.
In step with the ongoing globalization of this quintessential American art form, Grofsorean’s picks are eclectic, nuanced and finely tuned. There’s everything from the smooth, refined chamber sound of Brazilian accordion player Toninho Ferragutti and his quintet to the raucous, high energy patois of Treme native Trombone Shorty’s New Orleans sound. Both work The Cistern with Ferragutti on May 29 and Shorty on June 9 and 10.
Lyricism is a thread common to the entire schedule. You’ll get it right up front when vocalist Karrin Allyson takes the stage at The Cistern to open things up May 27 and 28. “I think you hear in her a deep blend of musicality and capturing the meaning of the song’s lyrics,” Grofsorean said. “Every singer goes for being literate and gorgeous. She gets it done.” Another singer this year is Dianne Reeves, planned for May 30 at the Gaillard.
Grofsorean said of her and Allyson, “The two of them show how different, yet equally wonderfully, songs can be interpreted. It shows of the beauty of the art form as well as the beauty of their own work.” Grofsorean is also broadening the reach of his series. For the first time, he will present at the Cathedral of St. Luke and St. Paul when Norwegian pianist Ketil Bjornstad plays solo piano there May 29-31, offering his own music rooted in the
classics and influenced by postmodern jazz explorations. Singing sensation Sarah Jarosz, 19, is grouped in the Spoleto Music Series and performs at The Cistern on June 2. She plays the mandolin, banjo and guitar and sings powerfully but with beauty. Grofsorean describes her voice as haunting, evocative and down home. Also in the music series is Please see JAZZ, Page 17E

banjo king Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. Catch them at the Gaillard on June 5. The festival gig is a stop on a tour that has the beyond-category band of master musicians reuniting for the first time in 20 years. In line with Grofsorean’s vision and jazz’s 21st-century direction, the group is reimagining itself. Grofsorean said Fleck told him, “They used a lot of material from the guys (Howard Levy, Victor Wooten and Futureman). He said that with the return of Levy, (harmonica) each person was reinventing themselves on their instruments. Everyone was a kind of a mutant.” Argentinian Willy Gonzalez, who plays the six-string electric bass, is teamed with singer Micaela Vita for a program of new Latin world music grounded in his study of masters such as former series participant Dino Saluzzi that he has re-interpreted. The festival show is their North American debut. Rounding out the series is Italian pianist Danilo Rea, another adventurous spirit following his own path. He performs June 8, 10 and 11 at the Simons Center Rectal Hall. Rae has been compared to Keith Jarrett. Grofsorean said he is considered by his countrymen the greatest lyricist among jazz pianists. Listening to the music of the Wells Fargo Jazz Series participants, it’s obvious they all “sing.” Tickets to Gaillard events are $15-$65, Cistern $30-$45, and Recital Hall and cathedral $30. The box office at the Gaillard Auditorium, 77 Calhoun St., is open 9 a.m.-8 p.m. through June 11 and 9 a.m.-2 p.m. June 12. 579-3100, www.spoletousa.org.

Grammy-nominated jazz vocalist and pianist Karrin Allyson will perform in the Spoleto Festival on Friday and Saturday nights. Allyson, who first started playing piano as a child and then received formal training in college, says she’s always been drawn to music. And she likes jazz because of its improvisation. “That’s the key,” Allyson says. “Jazz players use improvisation to make things different and keep reaching for that unattainable thing. It’s fun to try and it’s also intellectual. It can be funny. The rhythms Allyson are beautiful. It’s very universal.” In the two decades since her 1992 debut album, Allyson has released a total of 13 albums, with the last five being themed. The theme for her latest CD, “‘Round Midnight,” released earlier this month, is late-night listening. “You imagine yourself walking down a city street and you hear strains of music coming from a nice club,” Allyson describes. “You wander in a club and hear this woman at the piano singing and playing with her piano, pretty ballad after ballad.” Because of the theme element to “Round Midnight,” Allyson recommends checking out the whole album as one. “It’s nice that people take the whole CD and listen, rather than a tune here or a tune there,” she says. Some of the songs Allyson and her band perform on this CD include Charlie Chaplin’s “Smile” and Duke Ellington’s “Sophisticated Lady.” “If you’re playing stan-

dards, it’s important that you do make it your own, and the way I do that is I sit down at the piano and figure out an arrangement that works for me that doesn’t sound like everyone else’s,” Allyson says, adding that her performances depend on which band players she has accompanying. While Allyson will be performing some of her music from her new release when in Charleston, she says, “we always mix it up” and will play from her other albums as well. Special to this album is Allyson’s role on the keys: She plays “every piano or keyboard part” on this CD. She says that at the beginning of her career, she played more keys, but then leaned more on vocals. For the past few years, she’s moved back to playing piano. On this album, she “wanted to do what was more representative of what we’re doing live.” Allyson, who has performed at Spoleto once before, expects her performance in Charleston to engage the audience. “I know the word ‘jazz’ scares people sometimes because they think it will be an unreachable kind of music,” she says. Because she and the band want to communicate and enjoy the moment, she says audiences usually respond well to performances. “I hear lots of responses for our live performances that people are impressed by the interactions with our band,” Allyson says.

ZAHA set to ‘soundpaint’ the town Chamber ensemble uses sign language to compose music
BY LISA RYAN
Special to The Post and Courier
WHAT: New Music Collective presents ZAHA. WHEN: Friday: 5 p.m. workshop at the College of Charleston; 8 p.m. performance at the Halsey Institute, 161 Calhoun St. PRICE: $10 for the public. $5 for students and free for those younger than 18. MORE INFO: newmusiccollective.org.
Free and open to people of all ages and musical ability levels, Mazunik will communicate to the workshop group through a series of signs and gestures. “I’ll develop the performers’ responses, molding and shaping them into composition, and then sign another series of gestures to continue this process of composing a piece,” he said. Following the workshop, ZAHA will perform at the Halsey Institute at 8 p.m. Featuring Justin Wood on tenor sax and flute, Charleston native and New Music Collective co-founder Nathan Koci on cornet and accordion, Sebastian Noelle on guitar, Ryan Kotler on bass and Eric Eigner on drums, the ensemble creates a sound that fuses jazz, chamber, folk

and experimental music. During the performance, the band will be directed by Mazunik’s Soundpainting gestures, creating a new, improvised composition. The improvised approach ensures that each show is different, ranging from raucous to funky. “Instead of completely free improvisation, we have Evan conducting us through the live composition of music. He is not just telling us what
to do; he is listening to what we play, and making his decisions based off of that,” Koci said. “It brings a really nice cohesion to improvising and results in music that is both really free and open, but also really structured and, in a sense, through-composed,” he said. ZAHA was founded by Mazunik in 2006 and has since been featured in a variety of mediums, from
a live film score for Carl Dreyer’s “Vampyr” to a guerilla performance in Times Square and a collaboration with dancers for the New York International Fringe Festival. The group’s tour kicked off May 23 in Washington, D.C., and wraps up this weekend in Charleston, marking the band’s first appearance. “We actually built our tour around this show, so our
hats go off to the NMC crew for giving us a great reason to hit the road,” Mazunik said. The band also will be documenting its performances during the tour. “As a thanks to folks who have supported us on this tour, we’ll be making recordings over the course of the week at each show,” Koci said. The recordings will be released on a digital EP after the tour’s completion.

enowned for providing exciting, experimental musical programming around town, the New Music Collective follows suit with its newest offering. On Friday, the music nonprofit will present a workshop and performance from ZAHA, a New York-based chamber ensemble that utilizes the groundbreaking art of Soundpainting. The sextet’s Charleston stop kicks off with a workshop on Soundpainting at 5 p.m. at the Cato Center, led by Evan Mazunik, ZAHA’s director. “Soundpainting is the live composing sign language created by Walter Thompson for musicians, dancers, actors and visual artists,” he said. “Presently, the language comprises more than 1,000 gestures that are signed by the composer or director to indicate the type of response desired of the performers,” he said. “I use this sign language to compose in realtime. For the workshop, I’ll teach the basic vocabulary of Soundpainting gestures in a hands-on, participatory format.”

Composer Evan Mazunik will direct ZAHA in performances with local bands to bring realtime compositions to audiences.

The Feelies,‘Here Before’ (BAR NONE)
Back in the late ’80s, I was probably the biggest fan of The Feelies in South Carolina. “Who?” you might be asking. Yeah, exactly. During a glorious period between the late ’70s and early ’90s, the New Jersey-based rock band put out several albums of Velvet Underground-inspired rock that were, well, largely ignored by all but a few core fans. Even film director Jonathan Demme, he of the Talking Heads concert film “Stop Making Sense,” fell under The Feelies’ spell of swirling, jangling guitars, and at one point had planned to film the band in action. Then in the early ’90s, the band called it quits, realizing that its sound, while unique, probably wasn’t going to lead to fame and fortune. I and
about a dozen or so fans were heartbroken. Well, it appears that The Feelies are back for another shot at stardom, or perhaps they simply got tired of their day jobs and wanted to record again. Whatever the case, The Feelies are back, and on “Here Before,” the first collection of new Feelies music in almost two decades, the band still sounds the same, which is a beautiful thing. Lead singer Glenn Mercer still delivers his lyrics in the Lou Reed mono-
tone we remember from the ’80s, while those jingle-jangle guitars swirl away in gorgeous abandon. While there are a few misfires here and there, the majority of the album will still make you feel like it’s 1988 and you’ve just discovered this groovy new underground rock band. Hopefully The Feelies will stick around a little longer this time. (B+) KEY TRACKS: “Should Be Gone,” “When You Know,” “Time is Right”

Elsewhere on tracks such as “Fall From Grace” and “The Story of Us,” the band, which also includes bassist Kenny Varner and drummer Matthew Reindollar, works as a cohesive unit, delivering music that has a quality that belies the band member’s ages. “Madam Adam” is a surprisingly good debut from the local band, although describing it as “surprising” might be taken by some to imply that these musicians were not capable of rising to the challenge of recording for a label. Nothing could be further from the truth, and it will be interesting to see what comes from these guys in the future. (B+) KEY TRACKS: ”Sex Ain’t Love,” “Fall From Grace,” “The Story of Us.”

If you had a chance to attend 98 Rockfest last month in Ladson, then hopefully you arrived early enough to catch the opening set by Madam Adam, the latest local band to catch the ear of a major record label. The set was impressive, and on the band’s selftitled label debut, that impressiveness carries over to the band’s studio work. The music on “Madam Adam” is hard yet melodic, aggressive without being obnoxious. In other words, this is real rock music that will appeal to both the usual listeners and folks who might not normally consider harder-edged rock their cup of tea. “Sex Ain’t Love,” the album’s leadoff track, features an undeniably catchy chorus sung by Scott Gould over his and Drew Reindollar’s blazing guitars.

Piccolo and Spoleto art roundup Festivals go out of this world and stay ‘Under the Radar’
I
t’s festival time again in Charleston! Get ready for multiple cocktail parties, lots of performances and tons of visual art. It seems that the visual arts are especially ramped up this year. In addition to all the artists battling the sun on a daily basis at Marion Square, there are so many other in which each of the artists things taking place, pretty will discuss their works and much everywhere. Don’t processes. worry — you can sleep on June 13.
‘Under the Radar’
Interested in seeing who some of Charleston’s next big art stars may be? The city of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs, Charleston magazine and the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art were all curious, so they went “Under the Radar” on a discovery mission. “Under the Radar” began in 2006 in an effort to highlight emerging artists in the community. This year, it is part of the annual Piccolo Spoleto exhibition, “Contemporary Charleston.” Curated by Erin Glaze, coordinator of the City Gallery at Waterfront Park, and Rebecca Silberman, program coordinator of the Halsey, the exhibit consists of drawings, collages, paintings, photography and installations. From the 170 submissions, the following emerging artists were chosen: DH Cooper, Rebecca West Fraser, Nina Garner, Conrad Guevara, Greg Hart, Alan W. Jackson, Melinda Mead and Lauren Frances Moore. The opening reception will be 6-8 p.m. tonight at the City Gallery, 34 Prioleau St. Admission is free. There will be scheduled lectures throughout July
‘Other Worlds’
If you’ve ever wanted to be in another world, the Halsey is giving you a chance to actually be part of two different “worlds.” The Halsey Institute is presenting two solo exhibitions opening tonight: “Kcymaerxthaere” by Eames Demetrios and “Winter Stories” by Paolo Ventura. “ ‘Kcymaerxthaere’ is an alternative universe that is very similar to our own but with different stories, creatures, rules and even laws of physics,” explains Rebecca Silberman of the Halsey. Demetrios has been “traveling the world installing bronze plaques at historic sites that honor events from the fictional world of ‘Kcymaerxthaere’ in our present, linear world,” says Silberman. Charleston now is part of the largest public art project in the world, and by the end of this year, there will be around 90 permanent installations in 18 countries that are in “Kcymaerxthaere’s” story. Students from Academic Magnet High School and the American College of the Building Arts contributed to the exhibit. Demetrios will be at the Old City Jail, 21 Magazine St., at 4 p.m. Saturday to discuss the work.
PROVIDED
See Paolo Ventura’s work at the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art. The Spoleto exhibit opens today with a reception 5-7 p.m.
‘Cocktail Hour’
PROVIDED
The official Piccolo Spoleto poster, “Gold Marsh,” is by artist Dee Schenck Rhodes. Meet her tonight at the Footlight Players Theatre on Queen Street. Her collection will be on display at Footlight until June 11. At 7 p.m. Saturday, there will be a Plaque Unveiling at Sea as guests board the Charleston Explorer from 10 Wharfside St. Silberman says, “The underwater plaque will be celebrated in ‘Kcymaerxthaereal’ fashion with toasts of sake and sushi.” These will be provided by event sponsor, O-Ku, and a cash bar will be available. Admission for the Explorer event is $10. In a different universe from “Kcymaerxthaere” is where Paolo Ventura’s “Winter Stories” exists. “The Italian miniaturist and photographer has invented scenes from the memory banks of an old circus performer looking back on his life in this imagina-
tive series of photographs,” says Silberman. Check them out at the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, 161 Calhoun St. Call 953-HICA (4422) or visit www.halsey.cofc.edu.
Spoleto Soleil
Don’t miss this new initiative by Charleston’s Gallery Row on Broad Street. Spoleto Soleil is a series of lectures, demonstrations, receptions, meet-and-greets and more, all along Gallery Row. There are multiple activities planned every day of the festival. For a list of activities and more info, visit www.charlestongalleryrow. com or call 720-4027 or 7221944.
In honor of Spoleto and all the festive party-goers, Cone 10 Studios is having a show of clay works relating to the party experience. “As we gear up at preshow gatherings and wind down with late-night suppers, the cocktail goes hand in hand with festival life,” says ceramic artist and co-owner Betsey Carter. Join them 5-9 tonight for the prefestival party and ceramic art show called “Cocktail Hour: Vessels for Sipping and Savoring.” The event will take place at the studio, 1080-B Morrison Drive.

In search of the perfect bathing suit DREAMSTIME
O
ne of the great ironies in fashion is that when you need a bathing suit during the summer, you can almost never find one. I experienced this firsthand several years ago when I was invited to spend a long weekend at the beach and realized my favorite bikini was worn out. For two days, I frantically searched for a cute suit. The prices were right since everything was already on clearance, but the selection was pretty dismal. These days, January is usually when I start scouting for bath-
My go-to brand for bikinis is J. Crew. Every year, they offer a wealth of choices in solid colors, and my favorite is the low-rider bottoms paired with a narrow-banded triangle top (sadly this style is not currently available). Other brands I like include H&M (inexpensive), Roxy (sporty), Malia Mills (high-end ing suits, but that brings its own separates), Vix, Vitamin A and local standout Marysia, whose kind of angst.

Charleston is in ‘Vogue’
Local readers of “Vogue” magazine will be delighted to see Charleston featured in this month’s issue. The fashion spread is entitled “America the Beautiful” and showcases five regional destinations, including the Pacific Northwest, Maine, Florida and Texas. Each feature comes with recommendations on things to see, places to stay and eat and, this being “Vogue,” devotes a couple of pages to regionalthemed fashion. Referencing the end of “Gone With the Wind” when Rhett
tells Scarlett he’s going back to Charleston to find “something left in life of charm and grace,” the article is more spot-on with its recommendations than the fashion. Blue Bicycle Books gets a shout out as does Charleston Museum for its ongoing jewelry exhibit, “Preciousness Preserved.” Other mentions include the Gibbes Museum of Art, Magnolia Plantation, the Mills House Hotel, the restaurant SNOB and, of course, Spoleto which starts this weekend. The June issue of “Vogue” is on newsstands now.

Dolly Dee takes burlesque art seriously, and has fun in the process BY DEVIN GRANT

The second annual Charleston Burlesque Festival will feature 25 performers from all over the country. Talking to Dee last week, she gushed about this year’s lineup, as well as the adventurous year she has had since the successful inaugural event last year. “I have performers coming from New York, Virginia, Washington, D.C., Tennessee, North and South Carolina and Illinois. Some I have not met, and some I have traveled with and performed with at various events,” said Dee. “The show is going to be very diverse.” Saturday’s event will be the first thrown by Dee’s production company, Bizarro Burlesque, since January, when the “On With the Showgirls” show sold out the South of Broadway Theatre. “We had to turn people away at the door, which was both good and bad,” said Dee. “We were glad it was successful, but I felt bad that we had to shut the door and leave people out.” Often mistaken for the sort of stripping one might

made it possible for other burlesque troupes to form and operate independently in town. “I’m just really happy that Charleston can step up and show all of these women from other cities that this is something they want to see,” she said. In addition to mounting local showcases, Dee has had the chance to participate in burlesque events in New York City, Atlanta, Charlotte and Asheville. Dee also stresses that anyone interested in seeing Saturday night’s show should make plans to buy tickets in advance, and that more than half of the tickets have already been sold. While she said she is making plans to find a larger venue for future shows, Dee wants to make sure everyone who is interested in seeing this weekend’s performances has the chance.

Luck comes in all shapes and sizes. At the Dyspeptics Club, South is the big winner — though all the other players in his foursome would swear this was simply because of the rock-crushers that he picks up. He would tell you that the cards never lie well for him. Judge for yourself, given today’s deal, who had the best of the argument. West not unnaturally led a top heart against four spades. Declarer won and cashed the top trumps, discovering the loser there, then reverted to hearts. West won his heart queen and after much thought played a club. Declarer could win and lead hearts, but when East ruffed in and played a diamond through declarer, the contract was one down. South pointed to the combination of bad breaks as conclusive proof that he was born under a black cloud. Do you agree? South failed to understand the need to keep East off play for the duration of the hand in case the diamond honors were offside. While it is normal to play for the drop when there are four trumps out missing the queen, this is the exception that proves the rule. Win the heart ace, cash the spade king, then play a small spade to your seven. If this loses to West, he can do you no harm. You can win his return and knock out the heart queen, establishing a winner on which to discard a diamond.

Gian Carlo Menotti
Lasting legacy
Menotti’s vision still inspires Spoleto Festival, while Piccolo spotlights favorites, new events
bthompson@postandcourier.com
Talent, and foresight, echo across time. The 35th annual Spoleto Festival USA and 33rd Piccolo Spoleto Festival are living rebuttals to the notion that when artists die, part of their vision of the world dies with them. It need not be so. It is certainly not true of the music — or the legacy — of the late composer and librettist Gian Carlo Menotti, festival founder and continuing inspiration. Emphasizing the importance of honoring Menotti on the centennial of his birth, Spoleto will present a new production of the maestro’s “The Medium,” one of three operas to be presented during the festival run (May 27-June 12). “It’s always hard to choose any particular aspect of the festival that is most important,” says festival General Director Nigel Redden. “The brilliance of Menotti’s idea that all the performing arts excel when they are held next to each other, with each reinforcing the next. His concept of the festival is his primary legacy. “And even though this new production of ‘The Medium’ will be a departure from the way he developed the opera, it will give insight into his thinking at the time, and into the situation in the world in 1946, when it was first staged.” Directed and designed by John Pascoe with Joseph Flummerfelt conducting, “The Medium” will enjoy six performances beginning May 28 in the Dock Street Theatre. It is joined in a triumvirate of operas by Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho’s “Emilie” and Mozart’s “The Magic

Flute,” the latter to be directed by Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier and conducted by Steven Sloane. “Emilie” is an homage to Enlightenment Age figure Emilie du Chatelet, and will showcase soprano Elizabeth Futral in the title role, with Marianne Weems directing and John Kennedy conducting this American premiere. Saariaho, recently appointed Carnegie Hall’s composer in residence for 201112, will be in Charleston for the opening performance of “Emilie” on May 29 in Memminger Auditorium. “The Magic Flute,” which will be presented in eight performances May 27-June 11 at the Sottile Theatre, will feature the U.S. debut of the young Swiss tenor Fabio Trumpy in the role of Tamino. Other festival highlights include the theater productions of “The Cripple of Inishmaan” and “The Red Shoes,” the music theater production of “The Gospel at Colonus” (a meld of Greek tragedy and African-American gospel music), performances of the Corella Ballet of Spain, the contemporary circus Circa out of Brisbane, Australia, the annual Festival Concert featuring conductor James Gaffigan and the Spoleto Festival USA orchestra, the popular late-afternoon Intermezzi concerts at Grace Episcopal Church, young bluegrass sensation Sarah Jarosz, the Wells Fargo Jazz series and the Festival
Finale, which will train its spotlight on the Del McCoury Band. Contemporary composer Osvaldo Golijov, the Chamber Music Series composer-in-residence, also will be in the city May 26-June 2.
Piccolo Spoleto
Piccolo Spoleto, the official outreach arm of the Spoleto Festival, enters its 33rd year reprising many of its most popular offerings, as well as the Spotlight Special Event “From Athletes to Artists,” featuring former Citadel football players Dr. Tony Cicoria and Morris Robinson. Pianist Cicoria (Class of 1974) and opera singer Robinson (1991), both of whom won first-team All-Southern Conference honors as linemen, return to their alma mater for a concert June 5. They came to music via very different paths. Cicoria, an orthopedic surgeon in Norwich, N.Y., was struck by lightning in 1994. Having had no prior musical background, he says that he developed an “insatiable desire” to listen to piano music and proceeded to learn to play. Today, Cicoria is a celebrated concert pianist. For his part, Robinson has earned a place among the most sought-after operatic basses. A graduate of the Metropolitan Opera Lindemann Young
Artist Development Program, he made his debut in the Metropolitan Opera production of “Fidelio.” Cicoria and Robinson will appear on campus at McAlister Field House with the Piccolo Spoleto Festival Orchestra, conducted by Donald Portnoy. “ ‘Athletes to Artists’ is one of the most unique things we’ve ever done,” says Ellen Dressler Moryl of the city of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs. “The finale is definitely a highlight as well, as is the ‘Sunset Serenade’ with the Charleston Symphony Orchestra and Charleston Ballet performing together and setting the tone of classical art. “This illustrates how, for 33 years, we have been offering something for everybody — a very broad spectrum of events.” The annual pops concert, “Sunset Serenade,” at the U.S. Customhouse, will feature the CSO and Piccolo Spoleto Festival Orchestra playing works celebrating the best of Hollywood and the New York stage, ranging form “West Side Story” to “Schindler’s List.” The centerpiece of the program is Charleston Ballet Theatre’s “Wings” (music by Ernest Bloch) and “The Lark Ascending” (music by Vaughan Williams), choreographed by Jill Eathorne Bahr. Some of Charleston’s leading classical musicians compose the Ensemble of St. Clare, which will perform Albinoni’s “San Marco Trumpet Concerto,” Bach’s “Brandenburg Concerto No. 5” and Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons” on May 30 at Mepkin Abbey. For the closing act, Motown Madness returns to Hampton Park for the Piccolo Finale on June 11, with classic hits interpreted by the CSO. Reach Bill Thompson at 937-5707.
