an arts adventure
I
am proud to share the new issue of Premiere OC, your guide to the performing and visual arts in Orange County.
This issue is filled with adventure across all aspects of the arts. We welcome new venues, including the Hilbert Museum of California Art at Chapman University. The culmination of Mark and Janet Hilbert’s quarter-century obsession with California Scene paintings, the Hilbert is an exuberant addition to our museum community, and a great excuse to explore downtown Orange. Orange County is home to numerous museums, often tucked away in surprising places: The Irvine Museum, in a faceless office building; the Orange County Museum of Art, in the shadow of Fashion Island; and Muzeo, housed in the former Carnegie library in downtown Anaheim. For a complete list of museums and galleries, see page 58. Given our climate, O.C. has many wonderful outdoor arts activities, and this issue is full of them. Don’t miss our feature on the art walks throughout the county; it’s a great way to discover new galleries, and enjoy a glass of wine to boot–see page 36. Of course, summer will bring arts festivals galore: Laguna’s annual Sawdust Festival; Art-A-Fair; and the Festival of Arts are each worth a visit. And when the sun goes down, the Pageant of the Masters remains the summer’s signature event–see page 44 for a preview. As we welcome new venues, we also say farewell to others. This is the last season for the Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre, home to Pacific Symphony’s summer concert series and concerts by popular acts ranging from the Dixie Chicks to the Dave Matthews Band. Luckily, other outdoor music venues will continue including the Pacific Amphitheatre and the historic Mission San Juan Capistrano. In short, O.C. has it all–the perfect climate and a plethora of arts options for your pleasure. Enjoy this issue of Premiere OC, and let your arts adventure begin!
Sincerely,
Christopher O. Schulz President & Publisher P.S. For more coverage of the arts, subscribe to Orange Coast or pick up a copy at more than 400 newsstands and markets around the county. For our free weekly events newsletter, sign up today at orangecoast.com.

Members of Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra
student orchestras head out on international tours this summer. by Tim Alan
s
ome of Orange County’s youngest musicians will rack up serious frequent flier miles this summer. About 70 musicians and their adult chaperones from the Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra will travel to China to perform a series of concerts, while members of the Orange County Youth Symphony will embark on a concert tour of Spain. Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra Music Director Roger Kalia says his group is thrilled to go on its first tour since visiting Bulgaria in 2011. Highlights will include performances at world-class concert halls in Beijing, Hangzhou, and Shanghai over a 10-day span. “The orchestra members are looking forward to representing Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra as cultural ambassadors abroad,” he says. “For many of our musicians, this will be the first time that they have performed with an orchestra in another country, and they do not know what to expect. Not only do they want to give the best possible performance, but they also want to experience the culture of China and immerse themselves in a completely foreign environment.” Daniel Alfred Wachs, the Orange County Youth Symphony Orchestra’s music director and conduc12 | Premiere OC | Spring/Summer 2016
tor, says his group is similarly excited to tour Spain after hitting the United Kingdom in the summer of 2013. Besides the cultural benefits of travelling, performing abroad gives the young musicians valuable experience that can help them develop as artists. “Touring is an integral part of preprofessional training,” Wachs says. “It is one thing to play the masterpieces of the greats, and it is another to literally walk in their footsteps. Spain is personally one of my favorite countries in Europe. I can’t wait to take the kids there in July.” Local audiences can see both youth orchestras in May before they leave for their international tours. Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra performs a new work from composer-in-residence Narong Prangcharoen at Segerstrom Center for the Arts, while the Orange County Youth Symphony Orchestra plays its first concert in its new home, Chapman University’s Musco Center for the Arts.

High-Performance Summer segerstrom Center student programs aim to make summer break the ‘ big break . ’ by Cristofer Gross

w
hether it’s to help young people towards their big break or just to make the most of their summer break, performing arts programs are a smart way for students to fill the midyear months. Segerstrom Center for the Arts has three distinct offerings designed for different interests. Students with hopes of a theater career can hone their acting, singing, and/or dancing skills in Six Days of Broadway (June 20 through July 2). In addition to performance classes in musical theater, acting, and dance, students are instructed in audition technique and the business side of the profession. Experienced veterans teach two weeklong sessions—one for ages 11 to 13 and one for 14- to 19-year-olds.
Stephen Buntrock and students
Summer at the Center was launched 25 years ago to use the collaborative and creative demands of group performance to build self-esteem in atrisk and high-need high school-age students. The
Six Days of Broadway acting class with Erin Dilley
students, usually with backgrounds of substance or domestic abuse, abandonment, or learning disabilities, receive rigorous musical theater training that culminates in a Broadway revue-style show. Family and friends attend the showcase, which is held in the center’s Samueli Theater. New this summer, the center’s American Ballet Theatre William J. Gillespie School offers a program strictly for young ballet trainees. The ABT Young Dancer Summer Workshop (July 11 through 22) is designed for ages 9 to 11 and for 12-year-olds at the beginning pointe level. The workshop provides instruction in ballet technique, terminology, and body conditioning, as well as training essentials such as proper nutrition and injury prevention.

David Denman, Prince of Denmark af ter ‘ The of f ice, ’ ‘ Parenthood, ’ and this year’s ‘ 1 3 hours, ’ the o. C. native takes on shakespeare’s ‘ hamlet. ’ by Cristofer Gross
T
o be or not to be in Orange County this summer was a simple decision for David Denman, the veteran actor we remember as Pam’s exfiancé on “The Office.” He will star in Shakespeare Orange County’s “Hamlet” this summer. “It’s the holy grail of roles for an actor,” says Denman, who just co-starred as one of “the secret soldiers of Benghazi” in Michael Bay’s “13 Hours” and has had numerous other parts on film and TV. “SOC has been a home for me throughout my career and it just seemed like the right time to get back on stage.” Born in Newport Beach, the Fountain Valley High grad got his Equity card at South Coast Repertory and starred in SOC’s “Henry V,” “Taming of the Shrew,” and “Julius Caesar.” “David’s star is on the rise,” says SOC Artistic Director John Walcutt, who will play Claudius. “He was one of the people I called before taking this job, to talk about what we’d do if we ran SOC: link to the community, get younger people involved, and bring in A-list talent. For him to take time out from filming to do “Hamlet” is right in line with those objectives.” June 23 through July 9, shakespeareoc.org

The New Year begins with Matilda The Musical, named the #1 Show of the Year by TIME Magazine and winner of four Tony Awards®. For anyone looking for their inner child, the kid-at-heart, there’s Finding Neverland, the story behind one of the world’s most beloved children’s characters, Peter Elf The Musical Pan. George and Ira Gershwin’s An American in Paris needs no introduction. Simply stated by The New York Times: “A Triumph!” Grammy® nominee and R&B superstar Deborah Cox stars in The Bodyguard, based on the film that starred Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner. A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder makes its Center premiere. Winner of the 2014 Tony for Best Musical, the NPR critic said he’d “never laughed so hard at a Broadway musical.” Words such as “groundbreaking,” “uplifting” and “exquisite” have described Broadway’s 2015 Tony winner for Best Musical, Fun Home, also coming to the Center in the 2016–2017 Season. Rounding out the list of super hits An American in Paris in the Broadway and Curtain Call series is five-time Tony winner: the National Theatre production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. And for added measure, the Center has two Bonus Shows: the Farewell Tour of Mamma Mia! and the 20th Anniversary Tour of Rent. Both are back popular demand and not to be missed!

In Step with Each Other Hubbard Street and Irvine Barclay commemorate 25 years of dance. by Lara Wilson Hubbard Street dancers Michael Gross and Jessica Tong in “Out of Keeping� by Penny Saunders 28 | Premiere OC | Spring/Summer 2016
H
ubbard Street Dance Chicago was among the first dance companies to perform at the newly opened Irvine Barclay Theatre in 1991, setting the bar for contemporary dance in O.C. about as high as its astounding dancers can jump. This spring, the company returns to celebrate the Barclay’s silver anniversary. Around the time of the ’91 performance, founder Lou Conte introduced artists such as Nacho Duato, Jirí Kylián, Ohad Naharin, and Twyla Tharp to Hubbard Street, positioning his company to become revered for its international roster of choreographers. It was his close friend, Douglas Rankin, who first brought the two organizations together as Barclay president, after he’d left his decade-long position as general manager of the Chicago-area Woodstock Opera Theater. Hubbard Street will present its “latest work” this spring, says Artistic Director Glenn Edgerton, adding that a retrospective was considered–and rejected. Instead, the program will continue the vision Conte set in motion decades ago. Including the prolific American choreographer William Forsythe, a resident of Germany since 1976; two pieces by Canadian choreographer (and Forsythe protégé) Crystal Pite; and one work by longtime Hubbard Street dancer Penny Saunders, it resonates with Hubbard Street’s mission to hone emerging choreographers while also presenting the masters. Pite’s “Solo Echo” (2012) is a poetic dance created for Nederlands Dans Theater, a globally esteemed company; Hubbard Street is the only American company that performs it. Accounting for only a small percentage of performances year round, the Barclay’s Contemporary Dance
J e s s i c a to n g i n “ Ou t o f K e e p i n g ” b y pe n n y sa u n d e r s
Series enjoys “a certain reputation,” observes Rankin, who stepped down as Barclay president last year but continued to serve as a consultant to the theater. To explain this, there’s the lack of similar programming at other venues (Rankin saw this plight, in ’91, as a “market opportunity”) and the caliber of companies The Barclay selects. There’s also the Irvine audience, to which Edgerton attributes a “special energy” and “understanding” of the genre. April 28, thebarclay.org

The Wooden Floor’s young dancers perform annually in concert.
santa ana youth dance organization The wooden floor licenses its secret to success. by Lara Wilson The Wooden Floor knows firsthand the power of dance. That power—transferred through the organization to low-income youth—is implicit in its decision to begin licensing its model nationwide. Interested parties may apply, but the first partner has already been named: Washington D.C.’s CityDance will receive the Santa Ana nonprofit’s consulting, training, and contemporary dance curriculum. A nominal fee will cover overhead costs and ensure the arrangement is upheld by all. CityDance Executive Director Alexandra Nowakowski cites The Wooden Floor’s “proven model”— 100% of students graduate high school and enter college, a result of dance education, family services, and college preparatory assistance provided over 10 years. While The Wooden Floor’s board and staff were considering ways to meet expansion goals that had been set forth in 2009, CityDance came to visit and requested dissemination of the model, explained The Wooden Floor’s CEO Dawn Reese. 30 | Premiere OC | Spring/Summer 2016
As all future partners must, CityDance demonstrates fiscal sustainability and focuses on contemporary dance, which Reese says promotes “exploration, innovation, creativity, and collaboration.” The D.C. organization, recognized in 2015 with the prestigious National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award, will maintain its brand identity, but gain The Wooden Floor’s power of performance. Local audiences can see that power on display during the organization’s annual concert in June. June 2 through 4, thewoodenfloor.org

Walk, Don’t Run How to gallery hop without the hassle. by Lara Wilson

G
allery hopping is thought provoking, stimulating, and, best of all, free. But knowing galleries’ locations and hours, when openings and exhibitions are, and if there’s a good place to eat nearby can be a daunting task, even for Siri herself. Enter the art walk, designed to combat those complications. Orange County’s art walks occur periodically, once a month, once a quarter, or once a year, depending on the city. Some are based on efficiency; participating galleries host openings concurrently, often with artists present, so guests can attend multiple events in a single evening of wine-sipping and art-coveting. Others, like Anaheim’s Art Crawl Experience, feature outdoor entertainment and a convoy of food trucks, bringing artists and guests out into the street rather than focusing on specific venues. The monthly art walk in Santa Ana also feels like a festival, with makers’ tents set up in the downtown Artists’ Village and patrons spilling outside from nearby galleries such as Orange County Center for Contemporary Art and Grand Central Art Center. Restaurants and local businesses in Huntington Beach stand to benefit from more foot traffic than usual by displaying artworks inside, becoming makeshift “galleries” themselves. Meanwhile, Laguna galleries and the Laguna Art Museum have co-funded a trolley service that makes their First Thursdays Art Walk, well, more art than walk.

Making the Calif ornia scene
to this genre of art.

M
ark and Janet Hilbert began purchasing California Scene paintings—oils and watercolors from the 1920s to 1970s—25 years ago. As they collected these paintings—which Mark Hilbert explains include scenes from daily life with people, houses, ranches, horses, cars, and trains—they became enamored with the history of art. They were especially interested in the European paintings that influenced these California realists. They read about art history and traveled to Europe 25 times, viewing the ancestors of these California artworks. Their growing knowledge of composition, line, color, and theme in these Old Masters paintings enabled them to better understand the California Scene, and to pick out the stars from this treasure trove for their growing collection. In 2014, the Hilberts donated several hundred of these paintings, valued at $7 million, to Chapman

University, and $3 million to build a museum there. The recently opened Hilbert Museum of California Art, at 167 N. Atchison St. in Orange, is free and open to the public Tuesdays through Saturdays. The inaugural exhibition, “Narrative Visions: 20th Century California Art,” is curated by Gordon McClelland and features works by Emil Kosa Jr., Lee Blair, Mary Blair, Millard Sheets, Phil Dike, Fletcher Martin, Rex Brandt, Phil Paradise, and Milford Zornes, among several other artists.

“A Kiss on the Hand” by Gerolamo Induno
T
he inspiration for this year’s Pageant of the Masters theme, “Partners,” came when director Diane Challis Davy discovered a portrait of Antoine and Marie-Anne Lavoisier, “an influential husband-and-wife team doing scientific research in 18th-century France,” during research for the 2012 pageant. The pageant team soon realized that partnerships between husbands and wives, artists and models, and artists and their patrons have helped inform artworks for millennia. As the curtain opens on this summer’s pageant, the re-creation of “The Garden of Eden” (1615) is displayed in all its glory. Referencing the Book of Genesis, this painting depicts a voluptuous Eve giving the forbidden apple to Adam. The work was chosen for this year’s show in part because two artists teamed up to create it. Peter Paul Rubens, the Flemish artist known for his full-figured women, painted Adam and Eve; the animals and lush flora filling out the painting were done by Jan Brueghel the Elder. And of course, Adam and Eve are perhaps the most famous couple. Later in Act One, “A Kiss on the Hand” by Gerolamo Induno (1877) features an elegantly dressed woman about to enter a red carriage, while a dashing young man bends over to kiss her hand. Yet before this painting is shown in its full grandeur, the “building”

As the video fades out, the live costumed actors walk onto the stage, appearing to meet each other for the first time. They take their places on the stage set, which goes dark for a moment. Then suddenly there appears the fully lit living picture, replete with painted backdrop, props, frame, and stage lighting. July 7 through Aug. 31, foapom.com Spring/Summer 2016 | Premiere OC | 45

It was a perfect example of how sharing our stories can enlighten, enliven, and build an empathetic community.” chancetheater.com Pacific Symphony sponsors a wide array of education and community initiatives to serve Orange County’s diverse population. Among these are three
Heartstrings programs, explains Public Relations Manager Janelle Kruly. “First is a music class for parents, babies, and toddlers at the OC Rescue Mission. Second, we partner with The Center for Autism & Neurodevelopmental Disorders to create multisensory concerts for children with autism. Third, we work with Age Well Senior Services to engage seniors with memory loss in singing, clapping, and playing small percussion instruments.” The symphony also provides violin instruction for second through sixth graders with Santa Ana Strings, and partners with 32 local schools each year to place symphony musicians in residencies through Class Act, which culminates in youth concerts for more than 17,500 students. pacificsymphony.org The Philharmonic Society celebrates its 60th anniversary of youth education programs this year, includSpring/Summer 2016 | Premiere OC | 51

The Creative Process a step- by- step look at the glass art of J ohn barber. story and photos by Lauren Schroeder
J
ohn Barber has been a longtime fixture at the Sawdust Art Festival, where thousands of art lovers have seen and admired his intricate blown-glass pieces over the years. He’s also been a fixture in the arts community of Laguna Beach, where he opened
his Laguna Canyon Road studio in 1978 after studying his craft in Germany and working in Los Angeles. Here, he takes Premiere OC through the process of creating a glass work of art.
Step 1: Heat Molten glass is gathered on the end of a blowpipe. Throughout the blowing process, the glass is periodically reheated in a furnace held at 2,100 degrees. 54 | Premiere OC | Spring/Summer 2016
Step 2: Marver The glass is marvered, or rolled, smooth on a steel table. Layers of color are applied by marvering the glass in cameo powder.
Step 3: Thread Accent colors of glass are applied. Often this process involves much thinner lines of glass applied in a spiral pattern, but for this commissioned piece, the design called for thick vertical lines.
Step 4: Blow The piece is enlarged by blowing into the end of a blowpipe. Barber is assisted by his head gaffer, Jerome Underwood.
Step 5: Transfer A new button of glass is heated on a punty stick, then attached to the bottom of the piece. Rapping (hitting) the blowpipe detaches it from the piece, leaving its neck accessible for widening. Spring/Summer 2016 | Premiere OC | 55
Feature
Step 6: Cool Underwood puts the piece in the annealing oven, which is kept at 925 degrees. The glass artwork will spend the night in there, which allows the glass to cool slowly and prevent cracking.
The finished product The Sawdust Art Festival runs from June 24 through Aug. 28; for more information, visit sawdustartfestival.org. For more information on Barber’s work, visit johnbarberglassdesigns.com.
