GUEST COMMENTARY

The following guest commentary is by members of the Education Committee of Citizen Action: Mercedes Phelan, Erin Egloff, John Boutet, Mary Callahan, and Pia Moller. Mary Anna Towler’s Urban Journal returns next week.

A new superintendent for OUR Schools Rochester Superintendent Barbara Deane-Williams will retire at the end of January 2019. The Board of Education is charged with finding her replacement, and we do not yet know what the search process will look like.

At the November 1 Board of Education special meeting, board President Van White discussed a proposal for a search process that would directly involve community members. Under the proposal, each of the seven board members would appoint two community members to an advisory search committee. This committee would review responses to the call for applicants and make recommendations to the board.

The committee would solicit comments and recommendations from the community regarding the qualities desired in the superintendent; prepare a recommendation of the desired attributes and characteristics for consideration by the board; screen all nominations and applications based on the attributes and characteristics identified; and submit to the board the names of three to five candidates – in unranked, alphabetical order – who best embody the preferred attributes and characteristics.

Importantly, the community advisory committee would maintain strict confidentiality during all points of this process.

The school board discussed the proposal but hasn’t yet adopted it. We urge the board to adopt the proposal immediately and announce the appointees publicly by or on January 1, 2019. The board is diverse in personal and professional background as well as age, race, and ethnicity, and can put together a diverse committee consisting of current RCSD parents, people active in community-based organizations working on education issues in Rochester, and community members who have demonstrated a commitment to public K-12 education.

The Rochester school district has seen high turnover in leadership. That’s common for urban districts, but Rochester has seen more turnover than most, with five superintendents in 10 years (including several interim appointments). This turnover is problematic. That’s not because stability in top leadership in itself ensures better educational outcomes, but because it imposes a burden on central staff, teachers, and parents, who are presented

Many parents and community members desperately want an authentic partnership with the Rochester school district.” every couple of years a new vision, a new leadership style, yet another set of approaches, values, and priorities.

An incoming superintendent has to spend time studying the district, building relationships, and having conversations with stakeholders before formulating a plan of action. No superintendent can make huge headway on a long-term vision in two or three years. High turnover arguably also hampers a strong working relationship between the superintendent and the Board of Education.

Finally, high turnover in leadership undermines confidence in the district among parents and other community members.

Many parents and community members desperately want an authentic partnership with the district. Inviting 14 community members into the search process is one way for the board to demonstrate its interest in that partnership.

In the district’s 2016 search for a superintendent, community members were invited to give input via an online survey.

Fewer than 200 surveys were submitted, and the responses, as board President White noted at the time, didn’t tell the board anything it didn’t already know about what the community wanted.

White’s remarks weren’t flippant: a survey that uses predetermined choices can’t produce much new insight. An input survey isn’t a vehicle for community power. But adding 14 community members to the process every step of the way – that’s community power. Let the community take co-ownership of the process.

Let it be a real partnership this time. rochestercitynewspaper.com

On the recent report assessing the problems in the Rochester school district: As someone

who grew up in the sitstill-and-listen 50’s, I still have a chip on my shoulder about reading, writing, and ‘rithmetic, taught to the tune of a hickory stick.

In regards to the lengthy report on the Rochester City School District’s failings, most teaching professionals will never read it, and all that paper is destined for a shredder.

If it is true that we remember 10 percent of what we read, 55 percent of what we read and picture, and 100 percent of what we read, picture, and feel, how can the RCSD make schools work better?

Joy DeGruy said it best in “Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome”: Some children respond to external rewards like grades and prizes, but many children don’t. They respond to praise from teachers they trust, and when they feel good about themselves, they will try new things out of loyalty.

If top-down academic theories have failed for decades, how about a strategy that places children’s best interests first? They need to know how to live and thrive in a fast-changing society. Their future depends on it.

MCC faculty is causing tension On the dispute between the 4 CITY

DECEMBER 5 - 11, 2018

faculty and the administration at Monroe Community College: I am enrolled at

MCC part-time. It has been my experience that some professors should not be teaching here. Some are good and some are mediocre.

One of the main issues this semester is the conflict with adjuncts and tenured profs over the contract.

I found the conflict to be a disruption, because despite the fact that they were not supposed to mention the dispute during our classes, petitions were passed in class, professors wore buttons, and they put up banners and encouraged students to protest.

I think it is a negative that the faculty doesn’t have a contract, but they’re using President Anne Kress as a prop for their contract negotiations.

Housing the neediest

On local efforts to provide housing for the poor:

Rochester excels in providing affordable housing – except for the really poor. (The terminology is Extremely Low Income.) One reason is that to determine the standard by which incomes are measured, the Average Median Income, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development gathers data from the entire metro area.

The AMI for this metro area is over $70,000. But for the City of Rochester alone, it is less than half that. The Rochester City Council, with very little power or leverage, did recently courageously require that new apartments receiving any kind of city assistance include this class of housing.

[ NEWS IN BRIEF ]

Input sought on Main Street plan

City officials are getting ready to improve the way another part of Main Street looks and feels, and they’ve scheduled a meeting for December 12 to get public comments: from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, December 12, at the Riverside Convention Center.

Under consideration is the stretch of Main Street from St. Paul Street to State Street. Preliminary plans are to install trees and other plants in the sidewalks on both sides of the street, with seasonal greens and other temporary additions.

The sidewalk would have a porous pavement, and there would also be bike lanes, and benches with outlets to charge phones and other devices. Those amenities have already been added to Main Street between Franklin and St. Paul Streets in an earlier phase of the project.

There’ll also be a focus on the importance of foot traffic and on the entrances to public venues such as the Convention Center.

After getting public comments, the city will have final designs created, and work would probably begin next summer and be finished by the end of next year, says the mayor’s chief

of staff, Alex Yudelson.

Advocates want support on child services

The Children’s Agenda is asking its supporters and others concerned about parents’ ability to access early intervention services for their children to speak out at the County Legislature’s annual budget hearing.

The hearing on County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo’s proposed 2019 budget will be held at 5:30 p.m.

Thursday in the legislature’s chambers, on the fourth floor of the County Office Building, 39 West Main Street. Anyone interested in speaking should call the legislature clerk’s office, (585) 753-1950, to register.

The services at issue help children with developmental delays, and the number of providers is dwindling in Monroe County and statewide. The problem, parents and advocacy groups such as The Children’s Agenda say, is that state reimbursement levels to the providers has remained flat for years.

Monroe County officials planned to start a waiting list for new referrals to the Early Intervention program, including evaluation requests. The waiting list is supposed to take effect this week.

Cobbs Hill Village fight continues

The latest design for the proposed Cobbs Hill Village development.

PROVIDED ILLUSTRATION

As one lawsuit awaits a decision, a second suit has been filed with the State Supreme Court to stop redevelopment of the Cobbs Hill Village Apartments on Norris Drive next to the popular city park.

The latest legal action was taken by a coalition of the apartments’ tenants, neighborhood associations, and activist groups against the City of Rochester, City Council, Mayor Lovely Warren, Plymouth Gardens, Inc., and Rochester Management, the non-profit that owns and operates the apartments.

The suit says that Rochester Management has violated deed restrictions by renting to people who weren’t city residents and that it has used revenue from the property for purposes other than mortgage payments and upkeep.

The suit also alleges that in its 2009 request that the city extend the company’s ownership of the property, Rochester Management exaggerated he amount of repairs needed at Cobbs Hill Village. At the time, Rochester Management needed the extension to get a new mortgage.

The suit argues that little of the money from the mortgage was used to repair the

Cobbs Hill apartments.

Another issue deals with whether City Council mistakenly entered into a lease.

Earlier this year, Council voted to permit Rochester Management to refinance three of its properties and extend its ownership of Cobbs Hill Village to 2061, says Richard Curtis, the coalition’s attorney. The city will receive a payment of $325,000 when the properties are refinanced. Curtis believes that payment in exchange for the extension could constitute a lease.

“It’s going to be up to the court to decide if it was a lease,” he says. That’s an issue, because Council approved the refinancing in 5-to-4 vote, while threequarters of Council’s members have to approve entering into a lease.

The latest suit differs from the earlier suit, which argues primarily that the City Planning Commission was wrong in determining that the redevelopment project would have no significant impact on the environment.

Critics of the project have challenged that decision largely due to the project’s location adjacent to the park. continues on page 14

Henrietta town officials are working on zoning law changes that would remove apartment complexes as an allowed use in industrial districts and that would create new multi-use districts in the town. Henrietta’s current zoning doesn’t generally allow for mixed-use development.

PLANNING | BY JEREMY MOULE

Tweaks would modernize Henrietta zoning Henrietta is an evolving suburb, though that may not be apparent to the people who live outside of the community.

Its commercial corridors – which are often hypocritically mocked by the very people who flock to them – are an ever-changing mix of big-box stores, restaurants, car dealerships and service garages, and office complexes.

Marketplace Mall is in flux as its owner transitions it to an outlet mall. And property owners continue to struggle with some vacant properties, both freestanding spaces and plaza storefronts.

Demographic shifts favoring multifamily housing are also playing out in Henrietta, which has seen several highprofile – and controversial – apartment complex proposals in recent years.

Those residential and retail dynamics are some of the underlying reasons why town officials are looking to make key zoning changes in the town. They’re considering a proposal that would end developers’ ability to build apartment complexes in industrial districts. And they want to create three mixed-use districts where housing, offices, and retail could all exist on the same parcel.

The town has developed a draft environmental statement on the proposals, and the Henrietta Town Board

Henrietta Supervisor Steve Schultz PHOTO BY JACOB WALSH

held a public hearing on that document last week. The board has to accept a final environmental statement before it can vote on any zoning changes.

Henrietta Supervisor Steve Schultz says it makes no sense to take valuable industrial land and use it for housing.

Industrial development tends to place

less stress on infrastructure than residential development, he says. And when governments do have to spend on things such as road improvements or sewers for an industrial site, the taxes from the new development provide a better return on the public investment, he says.

“Those are two very different uses and they have very different impacts on their surroundings,” Schultz says.

Currently, Henrietta’s zoning doesn’t allow for mixed-use projects, Schultz says. There are areas with a mix of differently zoned parcels where stores, offices, and houses may be adjacent to each other, but there aren’t any laws that allow for multiple uses on one site, he says.

That problem isn’t unique to Henrietta. Other communities in Monroe County don’t have mixed-use zoning districts on the books either, says Maria Furgiuele, executive director of the Community Design Center Rochester. For a long time, the standard practice with suburban zoning was to separate certain uses, so that one part of town was residential, another commercial, and so on.

But as Henrietta officials discussed where they wanted apartment

complexes to be built, and what to do with vacant retail, they arrived at mixed-use districts as a potential solution, Schultz says. They want to establish three so-called overlay districts, where a project could be built according to the existing, underlying district, or it could build a mix of uses on a site, he says. The shift should also help preserve green space by giving developers more flexibility to revitalize or redevelop things such as struggling plazas.

Henrietta officials are targeting three parts of the town for the mixeduse districts: the area surrounding Southtown Plaza and Marketplace Mall, the East Henrietta Road commercial corridor starting south of I-390, and an area south of RIT bordered roughly

by East River Road and Lehigh Station Road. They looked for areas that could use revitalization, but that also had enough road capacity as well as existing water and sewer service.

“It’s got to be complimentary, but it really does create some nice, livable areas,” Schultz says.

ARTS | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Arts support: beyond a big-show theater Representatives of some of Rochester’s arts organizations will be meeting next week to reignite a discussion they’ve been having for years: creating an endowment or some other kind of ongoing arts funding.

Elaine Spaull, who chairs City Council’s Arts and Culture Committee, is convening the meeting, which is scheduled for December 14.

The big arts story for the past couple of years has been RBTL’s proposal for a new theater, which would require massive amounts of public and private funds. But an equally important, often ignored issue is that the arts in general – large organizations like Geva and small ones like galleries and independent performance groups – need more financial support. State funding for the arts has declined sharply, as has funding from major industries like Kodak.

A recent consultant’s report touched on that need briefly and gave examples of what other cities are doing. The report, by the arts and entertainment consultants AMS Planning and Research, was written for city officials, who were considering letting RBTL build a new theater on the former Midtown Plaza site known as Parcel 5.

Numerous other arts groups had objected, concerned that the theater might hurt their own audiences and fundraising. Most of the AMS report focused on the impact a new theater was expected to have, but at the end of the report, AMS noted that some cities have used taxes to help fund local arts. St. Louis, for instance, allocates some of its property taxes to the arts each year. Denver and Pittsburgh allocate some of their local sales tax revenue.

Spaull says she’s hopeful that the AMS study can be used to generate a renewed discussion about sustainable support for the arts. Local arts groups, she said late last week, “need operating money and coordination.” With the RBTL theater no longer dominating the discussion, “this can be a new day now,” she said.

This isn’t a new topic for Rochester. Over decades, arts organizations, arts supporters, and some public officials have urged Rochester to create a “1 percent for the arts” program, requiring developers to set aside 1 percent of the cost of their projects for the arts.

Some kind of ongoing, sustainable funding for the arts is “an increasingly dear topic for me,” says Bleu Cease, director of the Rochester Contemporary Art Center. Cease has been watching what other cities are doing to support the arts, and has been visiting Cleveland to look 8 CITY

DECEMBER 5 - 11, 2018

at its growing arts community. “Other cities have a strong mechanism” to support the arts, he says. “We don’t. It’s inexcusable.”

“I’ve been talking with the city about 1 percent for over 10 years,” he says. And, he says, he’s becoming “increasingly anxious” about the funding need. “There have now been two or three generations of arts administrators” – heads of museums and other organizations – “who have been involved in this conversation,” he says.

The discussion “comes and goes,” says Cease,” popping up with a crisis or major challenge such as RBTL’s theater plan, “and then it peters away.”

City officials have discussed the 1-percent idea since the AMS report was released, says the city’s chief of staff, Alex Yudelson. But, he said last week, “it’s tough”: If the requirement is attached to public-works projects, it increases the cost of those projects, and the city is already operating on a tight budget.

And while other cities have adopted that requirement for private developments, “we’ve put a lot of pressure on developers lately,” Yudelson said, including requiring some projects to set aside a certain number of units for lowincome tenants.

“We want to make sure that we’re not just tacking on additional requirements and eventually make projects not feasible,” Yudelson said.

“We’ll definitely look at something like a 1 percent for the arts,” he said. But he also suggests that arts organizations might consider sharing services: ticket sales, for instance.

Yudelson plans to be at the December 14 meeting that Spaull is convening with the arts organizations. “We need to hear from them,” he said.

Communities have a variety of ways to

provide an ongoing funding source besides a 1 percent requirement on development – not only sales and property taxes, as the AMS study noted, but use taxes on such things as rental cars and cigarettes. But the city’s options are limited. New York’s sales tax is a state and county tax; there’s no city sales tax.

And if the city were able to assess a tax on cigarettes or rental cars, people would likely simply take that business to the suburbs.

In addition, the arts aren’t solely a concern of the city. They’re a metropolitan concern.

Many of the people who attend arts events and exhibits live in the suburbs, not the city.

And county government, like city government,

Rochester Contemporary Art Center director Bleu Cease: “Other cities have a strong mechanism” to support the arts, he says. “We don’t. It’s inexcusable.” PHOTO BY RENÉE HEININGER

does contribute to numerous individual arts organizations, including Geva, the Memorial Art Gallery, and the Rochester Philharmonic.

An obvious funding source is the county’s hotel-motel tax: charges added to visitors’ room costs. Yudelson says he’s not optimistic about the chances of diverting some of that for the arts, though. Part of that tax already funds two venues owned by the city: the Convention Center and Blue Cross Arena, and it’s a sore point with the city. Hotel-motel tax revenue has grown by $2.3 million since 2005, and city officials have asked the county to increase the allocation to the two city venues. Instead, the funding has stayed flat.

Roz Goldman, an arts appraiser and a longtime arts activist, says a 1 percent for the arts assessment is essential. It’s what cities similar to

Rochester have, she said. “And it has to come from developers,” she said, not from publicly funded projects: “from those who are making money from development in the city.”

Goldman agrees that arts support should be countywide. But, she said: “We have better chances with the City of Rochester than with the county.”

“Hand in hand with that,” she said, “we need what most cities have: an arts commission,” which coordinates efforts related to projects such as public art.

“I’m getting very tired,” Goldman said, “because I’ve been talking about this for 25 years.”

“It’s embarrassing,” she said, “because we have so many working artists, so many cultural institutions.”

o

n a recent trip to see the new MAGIC Center building at Rochester Institute of Technology, we stepped out of a dreary winter day into a high-tech version of the Emerald City in the Land of Oz. “MAGIC” (which stands for Media, Arts, Games, Interaction, and Creativity) is an appropriate name for the new space. It’s an academic center, but also a hub where films, video games, and other digitalmedia dreams are turned into tangible products. And every detail of its design screams innovation, collaboration, and fun — from wide-open modern work spaces filled with funky, brightly colored furniture to the sparkling speckles in the stairwell’s concrete floors.

RIT’s new MAGIC Center building provides state-of-the-art amenities for students, faculty, and outside companies.

TO TAKE A VIDEO TOUR OF THE MAGIC BUILDING. ROCHESTERCITYNEWSPAPER.COM

MAGIC is also a university research center and a commercial publishing studio. The center’s limited liability company, MAGIC Spell Studios, has published about 55 pieces of media, video games and films among them.

MAGIC has existed for about five years already, but with the opening of the new center, students working in film, animation, game development, and other digital media studies got a serious upgrade in their classroom environment and amenities. Relocating their workspaces from dark basements and classrooms in the center of buildings, the center not only provides top-ofthe-line technological tools for students and staff, but also serves as a showcase for the work being done there, as it’s created.

The new 52,000 square-foot facility is outfitted with state-of-the-art tech, private workspaces, and areas for creative collaborations between people from different disciplines. The official grand opening took place in late October, and although the center will gain more amenities over time, it’s fully operational now.

The center functions as university-wide research center that encourages students and faculty to break down the silos that separate different disciplines, and then work together to make things. Students can also gain real-world experience from production companies that use the center.

“We want to offer resources and facilities to people in different programs here at RIT,” says MAGIC Digital Games Hub Coordinator Rob Mostyn. These programs include Film and Animation and Game Design and Development, but the center’s directors also want people from other disciplines — English majors, for instance — to use the space and work on projects. “Basically,” says Mostyn, “we have the sandbox. We want everyone to come play in it, build cool things.”

Creative collisions happen when you put people from different disciplines together in a space with lots of cool toys, says the center’s Jennifer Hinton. assistant director, Jennifer Hinton. continues on page 12 rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 11

The new building offers resources and facilities for the Rochester region that formerly could be found only in Toronto or New York City. The facilities are available to outside companies to use for filming and for post-production sound mixing, for example.

“So the fact that we can offer them not only to students and faculty but also to the community is a huge asset,” Mostyn says.

“And we hope that it draws people in.”

Diverging from the “brick city” look of most of the other buildings on the Henrietta campus, the center’s front façade has tall glass windows that give it a futuristic look and that stress that the center functions as an open showcase of the work going on inside.

The front entrance opens into a soaring hall alive with activity. Students converse in lounge areas, and flat screens lining the walls offer information about the center. Across the room, a two-story orange wall bears the words: “WE LEARN BY MAKING THINGS,” underscoring the center’s emphasis on experiential education.

On the lower floor of the center is a 180-seat theater, which has 4K laser projection (all of the

digital displays in the building are 4K, which is a high-resolution version of a system that projects changing laser beams to produce moving images) and Dolby ATMOS surround-sound system. There are 58 speakers, which provide intense sound, Hinton says. “Like, feel-it-inyour-feet amazing.”

Every space in the center is designed to be multi-purpose, multi-functional, Hinton says.

“So while we expect that the School of Film and Animation will be the primary users of this space, to show their screenings, we will use it

in other ways as well.” These other uses include screenings by commercial productions.

A small demo lounge is intended to be a more informal conference room space “where companies we’re working with might pitch ideas to us,” Hinton says, “or where students might be pitching their ideas to folks.”

There are also two 40-seat, theater-like classrooms, one for color correction and another for audio mixing. These workspaces “are intended to be post-production facilities as well as well as teaching and research spaces,” Hinton says. They’ll be used primarily by students and faculty, she says, “but will also be available as a post-production house for folks who are perhaps utilizing the soundstage.”

Just past the theaters is a glass-walled server room, which you hear before you see.

Tall rows of machines that serve computers throughout the building provide a steady buzz as a constellation of lights flickers.

Toward the rear of the building is a 7,000 square-foot sound stage: “This is the big room,” Mostyn says of the cavernous area.

It has an operable lighting grid, storage, a control room, and a loading dock not visible from the front of the building. And areas of the space are equipped for use with green screen and motion capture technology.

Down the hall there’s a green room, shower and makeup rooms, and two offices that can be used by producers and directors.

“Seven thousand square feet is an important number,” Hinton says, adding that it’s the designated size for production companies to qualify for the New York State tax credit. (Companies need to have one day of their production shot on a 7,000 squarefoot soundstage. They don’t even need to use the whole square footage, Hinton says.)

The space is intended for use by students but

Rob Mostyn

also by outside production companies, Hinton says. Two commercials have already been shot there, both by Rochester-based company Optic Sky Productions, which was founded by RIT alum Aaron Gordon, a graduate of RIT’s Student Incubator Initiative. (The initiative is an intensive program designed to help students who want to start a business or commercialize their creations).

“They’re helping us to sort of road test the space right now and figure out: How do we rent this out, what do we need to do to make this a viable solution for folks?” Hinton says.

And for Gordon, it’s a great solution, she says, “because if he was not shooting here, he’d be going to New York City.”

“If we have other productions here as well, they can perhaps utilize our student crew — students who are trained in this discipline and are looking for professional experience,” Hinton says.

Upstairs, there’s an immediate contrast between the hush of the lower studios and

the buoyant, social buzz of productivity of the Innovation Suite. The central, wide-open student co-working space is surrounded by glass-walled offices for MAGIC staff and academic faculty, so the students have access to mentoring support. The space is full of computer stations with industry-standard software, cheerful colors, and funky-shaped furniture, and there’s animated chatter as students and staff work together. It feels more like your coolest friend’s loft apartment than a classroom or an office.

“We have tons of glass, because we want to be nosy,” Mostyn says. “We want to walk by people and be like: ‘What are you doing?

What’s that? Let’s work on something.’ Or just know what’s going on. Often we say a lot of the cool things are happening in basements

or in the center of buildings on campus, but we want to show it off.”

Sounds from a ukulele float through the open door of one office, and many of the staff’s shelves are lined with as many toys as books.

“This is the heart of the building,” Hinton says. “It’s where students work on projects that they brought to us. They went through pitching their ideas, their business plans, and were vetted by our team, and we selected three to be in residence with us this fall, really giving them the opportunity to flesh out what it is they want to make.”

The work that’s being done in the Innovation Suite varies, depending on the current digital media projects being produced. Students working there benefit from the school’s student “co-up” program. It functions like a co-op, but the students are paid to work on their media projects, some of which end up published through MAGIC Spell Studios.

One of the current co-up projects is by a student-formed company called Aesthetician Labs, which has created a game called “Crazy Platez.” A mobile game about delivering plates of Rochester’s most notorious cuisine through downtown Rochester, it’s the company’s love letter to Rochester. The game earned the team first place in the student developer category in the 2018 New York State Game Dev Challenge, and it’ll be released December 5 on iOS and Android. Aesthetician Labs is also developing an arcade cabinet game for it, which will be housed at the MAGIC Center.

This space isn’t exactly a classroom; it’s an area set aside for students and faculty to work independently, together on collaborative projects, or for those working on different projects to bounce ideas off one another.

“They’re all working together and making each other better,” Hinton says. “And they’re making the projects that each of them are working on better. To be able to have a film

In the upper level of the MAGIC Center, students collaborate with RIT faculty and MAGIC staff in the Innovation Suite.

student take a look at a game student’s trailer, and say, ‘Let me show you how we can make this a little better,’ you can really leverage the strengths of each of those disciplines.”

Another group of students working in the space is creating a web video series.” Since they began work on the project, the students realized that their initial idea wasn’t viable.

Learning from that, they’re now on their third iteration of the project, and Hinton says she thinks they’ve hit their stride.

“I think their story is all about failing fast and failing often, and learning from those mistakes and getting up and trying again,” she says. And the students benefited from the coup safety net that the school provides. They receive academic credit as well as funding, which helped give them the time and space to troubleshoot their way to success.

MAGIC Center’s upper level also has multimedia labs, and a virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) lab.

(Augmented reality is technology that incorporates elements of the real world with elements of virtual reality). One of the four rooms dedicated to stop-motion animation projects is the current workspace of Allison Zelle, a graduate student in the School of Film and Animation. Tables in the dark-walled space hold her in-progress thesis project, which includes a couple of miniature houses separated by a copse of trees, with a cloud-filled sky as a backdrop.

There’s such attention to detail that from several feet away, it seems like you’ve got a bird’s eye view on a genuine little world.

Zelle has possession of the space for the full semester. Formerly, the school only offered one room that students could sign out for a week or two at a time.

The VR and AR lab gets heavy use from students, and also from groups such as Frameless Labs, a consortium of faculty researchers from several different RIT colleges. Frameless Labs uses VR and AR for a wide variety of projects. Its “Farewell to Dawn” is an augmented reality theatrical dance performance — with real performers in different physical spaces interacting on a virtual stage — co-created by RIT and the Nazareth College Department of Theatre and Dance. The group also uses the technology to create games such as “Ego and the Dream Work,” an interactive virtual reality game.

In the real world, people with jobs producing digital media work collaboratively with people across different disciplines. “It’s really only within universities that disciplines exist within silos,” says Hinton. “We’re trying to create an environment for our students to have practical experience that will resemble, mirror the experience they’ll have creating digital media post-college.”

One of the MAGIC Center’s responsibilities is to grow the programs

in the School of Film and Animation and Game Design and Development, two of RIT’s most popular programs.

“We’ve been turning away qualified students because we just simply didn’t have

the resources or the space to support them,” Hinton says.

With the addition of the MAGIC Center facilities, RIT expects to increase its enrollment by 200 students.

Beyond producing media projects, the center is interested in encouraging entrepreneurship, working with students who want to develop a business around their projects.

The center also provides work space for organizations and companies unrelated to the school. These collaborative partner suites give MAGIC the opportunity to partner with outside companies interested in doing business in Rochester or having a satellite office here, says Hinton. The spaces are rented to companies for free, but they’re intended to be symbiotic opportunities for the companies, the university, and the students.

Forbes Media is in residence in one of the two collaborative partner suites. The Rochester satellite of the New York Citybased company has been partnering with MAGIC since 2016, when RIT graduate Joseph Pietruch moved back to Rochester from New York City and was working remotely for Forbes out of his apartment. He reached out to MAGIC, and a collaboration was struck.

In the summer of 2017, MAGIC began hosting a remote development team of Forbes employees and RIT co-op students. That’s led to students contributing to the development and

testing of a new web platform called “Bertie” that Forbes is rolling out for its writers to use in creating articles for its website, Hinton says. Forbes has since hired 11 RIT students.

MAGIC is in talks with potential tenants for the second collaborative partner suite. Unlike the glass-walled transparency of the first suite, the second space is meant for people who can’t do their work out in the open due to nondisclosure agreements, Hinton says.

As the center’s directors grow the Film and Animation and Game Design and Development programs, they anticipate hiring additional faculty.

All of this costs money. Half of the center’s funding up to this point came from Empire State Development grants and half from private donors Dell, Cisco, and the Wegman Family Foundation. RIT is currently conducting a $1 billion capital campaign, which will include funding for the center’s continued evolution.

“I think if we say we’re ‘done’ we’re not doing what we should be,” Hinton says.

Mostyn says he believes there’ll will be more and more collaborative projects between people from different disciplines and interests. “With distribution becoming easier and more accessible, I also believe we’re seeing more digital media focused on niche interests, underrepresented populations, and unexplored games,” he says.

“This is where innovation happens,” Mostyn says.

The obvious “hot and hyped” trends in digital media, he says, are virtual reality and augmented reality. But other interesting trends are the growing indie developer community and doing client work.

“Making a game with a small team — or solo — is easier than it’s ever been,” he says, “but that doesn’t mean the money is always there.” Like many other kinds of artists, small teams and studios are taking on commissioned work as a way to fund their own projects.

Mostyn also says he thinks we’ll see video games “sneaking their way into our daily lives more often” — not necessarily as games to play, but as learning tools. And in the near future, he says, the general public will regard games as an art form.

Games are gaining on media “that ‘everyone needs to see’ — like movies or music — and that will eventually break down the stigma that ‘playing games’ currently has,” he says.

14 CITY DECEMBER 5 - 11, 2018

The redevelopment of the Cobbs Hill Village apartments has been met with fierce resistance from the beginning. Rochester Management’s plans call for demolishing the existing six one-story buildings, which have 60 apartment units, and replacing them with 104 units in six two- and three-story buildings.

The property is deeded for low-income senior housing. Rochester Management has promised to keep rental rates at the current level for all existing tenants who move into the new units, and 20 of the new units will always be dedicated to very low-rent apartments.

Those 20 units will be new and larger, but that’s fewer units than the current 60 units that have very low rents.

Although the project’s many critics include neighborhood groups, neighbors, and tenants, it’s also had strong support from some major local non-profit groups that serve low-income Rochesterians, including Action for a Better Community, Ibero-American Action League, and Flower City Habitat.

The project’s critics have maintained that the new construction is unnecessary and that Rochester Management could affordably rehab the existing apartments.

Rochester Management President Peggy Hill has expressed frustration at the delays, saying that the firm has held numerous public meetings and that it has made changes to the design for the project as a result of critics’ concerns. The redesigns and delays have cost the company about $1 million, she says.

In a recent written statement, Hill said Rochester Management had planned to begin construction on the new buildings after receiving approval from the city last July, but litigation has held things up. “We are disappointed by the continued delays but remain fully committed to moving this important affordable senior housing project forward,” she said.

City officials declined to comment on the issue because of the ongoing litigation.

Whether continued litigation will eventually derail the project is unclear, but one thing is certain: the opposition to it isn’t going away anytime soon. The project’s opponents continue to argue that the new apartments will reduce the amount of low-income senior housing in the city. But it’s the project’s proximity to the park that has remained a major obstacle.

What it boils down to is that the existing structures on Norris Drive are unobtrusive, says coalition attorney Curtis.

“You’re not going to be able to see Cobbs Hill anymore,” he says. “The overall belief is this monstrosity doesn’t belong next to the most popular and probably most-used park in the city of Rochester.”

RPO’s ‘Brandenburg Concerto No. 4’ SUNDAY, DECEMBER 9 PERFORMANCE HALL AT HOCHSTEIN, 50 NORTH PLYMOUTH AVENUE 2 P.M. | $24-$38 | RPO.ORG [ CLASSICAL ] J.S. Bach’s six Brandenburg Concertos are among

the best-known pieces in classical music. The fourth in the series makes a welcome appearance on the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra’s concert this Sunday afternoon. Handling the Bachian filigree in this lighter-than-air work are RPO flutists Rebecca Gilbert and Alison Fierst, with concertmaster Juliana Athayde.

Guest conductor Christopher James Lees also leads other Baroque delights by Jeremiah Clarke, William Boyce, and Handel.

The concert concludes with the quasi-Baroque style of String Symphony in B Minor, written by Felix Mendelssohn.

Hinkley’s latest, full-length offering, “Purblind,” is an enigmatic album that evokes the homespun warmth of folk and Americana without belonging to either genre. What we get instead are sophisticated rock songs featuring simple, charming vocal melodies and full, harmonic textures in the guitars and keyboards.

The music delightfully indulges in reverbsoaked psychedelia. The subtle shoegaze of Veeder and John Depuy’s guitars suddenly explodes into anthemic hooks that would be as at home in rock arenas as they are here in the intimate setting of co-producer Dave Drago’s 1809 Studios. The double tracking effect in the lead vocals, on songs such as “Popular Attitudes About Magic & Sexuality,” lend haunting immediacy to Hinkley’s rich sound.

Walrus Junction makes the kind of well-crafted, melodic rock that might be easy to discredit as pop pleansantries, but the subtle intelligence of the songs makes them hard to forget. With clear structures and accessible, toe-tapping grooves, the band ostensibly dares you not to dance to this five-cut EP. That said, it’s the lead vocals of Ignatius Marino and Tanner Kartes that elevate the music with a charisma that’s downright seductive. In his upper range, Marino’s tenor voice is incisive but smooth on “Blood on the Streets,” while Kartes’ soulful croon sells the jazz-tinged balladry of “Ghost Town.”

Co-Artistic Directors Juliana Athayde and Erik Behr of Society for Chamber Music in Rochester continue their compelling programming with “Mozart in France” on Sunday, December 16. PHOTO PROVIDED

A French feast Society for Chamber Music in Rochester SUNDAY, DECEMBER 16 PERFORMANCE HALL AT HOCHSTEIN, 50 NORTH PLYMOUTH AVENUE 4 P.M. | PRE-CONCERT TALK AT 3:30 P.M. $35 | STUDENTS FREE WITH SCHOOL ID | CHAMBERMUSICROCHESTER.ORG [ FEATURE ] BY DAVID RAYMOND

The Society for Chamber Music in Rochester is known for putting together captivating programs. For next weekend’s concert, which takes place on Sunday, December 16 at the Hochstein Performance Hall, SCMR does it again, with a program called “Mozart in France.”

Devised by Artistic Directors Juliana Athayde and Erik Behr, who are also the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra’s Concertmaster and Principal Oboe, respectively, it brings together what they describe as “four vastly different works.” But as Behr explains, these four works hang together very engagingly.

18 CITY DECEMBER 5 - 11, 2018

“We like to start with a specific piece that captures our interest,” Behr says, “and then try to find other works that feature combinations based on the instrumentation of the capstone work and, hopefully, that also have some programming link to that work.”

The Mozart work on this program is his Trio for Piano, Clarinet and Viola, K. 498, nicknamed “Kegelstatt.” Its link with France is tenuous. Mozart did indeed spend most of 1778 in Paris, but unlike most Parisian visitors, he had a miserable time. He wrote this work in Vienna much later, but the manuscript is housed in France, in the collection of the Bibilothèque National. Whatever its provenance, this is a delightful, mellow trio for three of Mozart’s favorite instruments.

“Kegelstatt” more or less means “bowling alley” – referring to a favorite pastime of Mozart’s when he wasn’t writing masterpieces.

The rest of the program is firmly, but unconventionally, French. Athayde and Behr have chosen works by three French composers from the 19th century, early-20th century, and 21st century: Camille Saint-Saëns, Lili Boulanger, and Guillaume Connesson. Only the first of the trio could be considered a household name.

The long-lived Saint-Saëns was born in 1835, when Mendelssohn, Schumann, and Berlioz were up-and-coming composers. The Frenchman died in the age of Stravinsky, Debussy, and Schoenberg – and Saint-Saëns hated them all. By the time he wrote his Oboe Sonata in 1920, this prodigiously gifted and imaginative composer was almost as much of a fossil as the ones he depicted in his “Carnival of the Animals.” Be that as it may, Erik Behr, who will perform the sonata on this concert, finds Saint-Saëns “a fascinating character.”

“His peculiar interests come through in his music in intriguing ways,” Behr says. “Listen for the Renaissance harmonies he injects into the oboe sonata. It was rare for a composer of his time to have studied and incorporated music from this period.”

Lili Boulanger, who died in 1918 aged only 24, was for many years known mainly as the sister of the renowned musical pedagogue Nadia Boulanger, teacher of such American composers as Aaron Copland, Roy Harris, David Diamond, and Philip Glass. But Lili wrote strikingly dramatic music, particularly large-scale choral works.

Among her earliest pieces are ”Nocturne” and “Cortège,” paired as a single work for violin and piano. More salon-like than her larger works, it is nonetheless the work of an important talent. Boulanger’s appearance on this program underlines SCMR’s mission to represent female composers, “but in a thoughtful way that makes their works feel organic and not forced,” Behr explains. “This concert seemed to be a great place for one of Lili Boulanger’s works.”

Guillaume Connesson, born in 1970 and considered one of France’s leading contemporary composers, is represented by a Sextet for Oboe, Clarinet, Violin, Viola, Double Bass and Piano, written in 1998. Listeners who either think that French music stopped with Ravel or avoid contemporary music on principle will have a pleasant surprise in store.

Connesson’s 15-minute work offers catchy tunes, crisp and colorful instrumental writing, and infectious rhythmic verve – musical qualities that many consider “French.” One of Connesson’s illustrious French predecessors, Francis Poulenc, wrote a popular sextet for winds and piano in the 1930’s, and Connesson’s sextet does suggest a felicitous, hypothetical collaboration between Poulenc and American Minimalist Steve Reich.

Behr recalls that he and Athayde were introduced to Connesson’s music by RPO guest conductor Fabien Gabel. “The sextet is a work Juliana and I loved at first hearing and we desperately wanted to program it, so we based the rest of this concert around it,” Behr says. “Connesson marries together so many enjoyable current trends in music with unique instrumentation. We think the audience will be just as thrilled with this piece as we are.”

ROOTS ROCK | DONNA THE BUFFALO

Donna The Buffalo is an Americana-folk band that has bridged generational gaps across the country with its timeless originals since 1989. Hailing from Upstate New York, Donna The Buffalo blends roots music with hints of country, blues, and rock. After five, long years since its previous release, the band is finally touring behind its eighth studio album, “Dance in the Street.” Guitarist Jeb Puryear and fiddler Tara Nevins take turns singing lead vocals in a his-and-hers format, accompanied by bassist Kyle Spark, drummer Mark Raudabaugh, and keyboardist David McCracken. Puryear and Nevins sing poetic, ever-flowing lyrics focused on societal issues while the music is ironically bright and cheery.

Donna The Buffalo will perform along with Aaron Lipp & The Slacktones on Saturday, December 8, 8:30 p.m. at Anthology, 336 East Avenue. $22.50 -$25. Ages 18 and over. 484-1964. anthologylive.com; donnathebuffalo.com.

Joy

"I have never felt such a strong sense of community as I have at Girls Rock. This is the greatest

gift camp gives us: a place where we truly belong, not just a part of every person, but the entire person. Just the way we are. I gained so much at Girls Rock. Experience performing in front of people, working with a team, but also something as basic as more self esteem. I can thank camp for really helping to make me the person I am today." - Zora, Camper, Age 15

"As a parent and a professional touring musician for most of my life, I can say that Girls Rock is one of the most

Bring

inspiring events I've seen. I would have loved something like this when I was growing up. The counselors are showing girls how to believe in themselves, showing them the many aspects it takes to be a musician, to be in a band, to collaborate and to have confidence."

- Dennis Casey, Parent, Member of Flogging Molly

y n o m r a H "I can't say enough about the impact Queer Rock Camp has had on my son

and will continue to have on his confidence and drumming skills. The kids could be who they are through the supportive staff and all the creative choices and details of the camp. We can't wait for next year!"

- Mom of a Queer Rock Camper

Not a drag “The Legend of Georgia McBride” REVIEWED SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1 CONTINUES THROUGH SUNDAY, DECEMBER 16 JCC CENTERSTAGE, 1200 EDGEWOOD AVENUE TICKETS START AT $20 | JCCROCHESTER.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY LEAH STACY

Theatrical productions aren’t generally written about Florida. The Sunshine State, with its gators and gulf coast, doesn’t set the stage for a production in quite the same way a cosmopolitan city or the Midwest does. But for Matthew Lopez’s 2015 play “The Legend of Georgia McBride,” a small town Florida setting somehow works perfectly.

The plot focuses on Casey, a 20-something Elvis impersonator who’s been playing The King for a nearly-empty bar on weekends.

When he finds out his wife is pregnant and his act is being replaced by a drag queen duo, Casey decides to stay on as a bartender so he’s 24 CITY DECEMBER 5 - 11, 2018

not out of work. Instead, he finds himself thrown into the act when one of the queens can’t perform, and Georgia McBride is born.

Rochester drag favorites Aggy Dune (Thomas Smalley) and Mrs. Kasha Davis (Ed Popil) play the dynamic drag duo, with Smalley in the role of Casey’s drag mentorof-sorts Tracy Mills (Bobby), and Popil as the pill-popping, unreliable Anorexia Nervosa (Rexy). Audiences can expect the same tongue-in-cheek drag jokes and innuendos here as they’d see in a “Big Wigs” show, only Lopez scripts these.

Smalley embodies a warm, empathetic Mills, who steals many a scene with not only personality but also lip-syncing numbers (Aggy Dune as Tracy Mills as Liza Minelli, in particular, is a show stopper). Popil, a “RuPaul’s Drag Race” alum who just came off a sold-out run as Dr. Frank ‘N’ Furter in Blackfriars Theatre’s “Rocky Horror Picture Show,” has a smaller role as the unreliable Rexy, but still demonstrates a diva-level takeover of each scene.

Kevin Plinzke, a SUNY Brockport theatre grad who was last seen in David Andreatta’s “Fielder’s Choice” at Rochester Fringe this fall,

portrays drag trainee Casey. Plinzke is not a singer, so lip-syncing is an excellent fit. But he’s more convincing as doting husband to Jo (recent Nazareth College alum Abby Prem, who keeps up with this older cast impeccably) than he is as a successful drag queen. Still, he’s charming as the bumbling Southern boy, and that’s enough to pull off the role.

Rounding out the cast are Nazareth College professor and local performer Matt Ames as simpleton landlord and friend Jason; and D. Scott Adams (last seen at CenterStage in “The Flick”), who plays the down-on-hisluck, conniving club owner Eddie. David Runzo, who last directed “Buyer & Cellar” at CenterStage, guides the cast in what is, overall, a lighthearted two hours (including a 15-minute intermission).

But it’s not all tropes and laughs. Lopez works in important themes of partnership (both showbiz and marriage), discrimination, perseverance, and career passion throughout, making “The Legend of Georgia McBride” a production that’s both a fun night out and worthy fodder for conversation afterward.

ART | KRAMPUS DOES HUNGERFORD

FESTIVAL | NATIVE AMERICAN WINTER ARTS & MUSIC FEST

We all know the tradition of receiving gifts from Santa Claus if you’ve been nice. But if you’ve been naughty? Avoid a visit from the half-goat, half-demon Krampus by visiting the Hungerford and getting back on the Nice List. More than 15 studios are participating in the two-day event, which includes photo ops with Krampus & Kringle, festive food, free raffles, and a wide variety of event-exclusive art for sale. The event will also serve as a collection spot for donation to the Pirate Toy Fund, so bring along a new, unwrapped toy to spread additional holiday cheer.

Friends of Ganondagan will this week present the annual Native American Winter Arts & Music Festival, featuring goods made by local artisans, hourly raffles, storytelling, food tastings, and traditional Iroquois Social Dancing by the Allegany River Indian Dancers (pictured). Food samples will include Iroquois White Corn, which is part of a larger project to return the heirloom Haudenosaunee staple to Native Americans and the community at large.

“Krampus Does Hungerford” will take place on Friday, December 7, from 5 to 9 p.m.; and Saturday, December 8, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Hungerford Building, 1115 East Main Street. This event is free to attend and family-friendly. facebook.com/fungerford.

Film

Willem Dafoe as Vincent van Gogh in “At Eternity’s Gate.” PHOTO COURTESY CBS FILMS

The artist’s way “At Eternity’s Gate” (PG-13), DIRECTED BY JULIAN SCHNABEL OPENS FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7 [ PREVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

There’s no shortage of biopics about artistic geniuses. In fact, the famed artist at the center of “At Eternity’s Gate,” Vincent van Gogh, served as the subject of another filmic tribute (the striking animated feature “Loving Vincent”)

just last year. But director Julian Schnabel (“The Diving Bell and the Butterfly”) creates something special with his impressionistic, meditative portrait of the mercurial painter.

As a man, van Gogh (played here by the great Willem Dafoe) has always remained something of a mystery, and Schnabel keeps that mystery intact, never seeking to explain the painter’s genius, simply wishing to imagine that talent at work.

Schnabel focuses on the painter’s fraught later years, during a prolific period spent in the small town of Arles, France. We gradually get a

sense of him through episodic snapshots of his tender relationship with his beloved brother Theo (Rupert Friend), who offers as much financial and emotional support as he can. We also see his friendship with contemporary Paul Gauguin (Oscar Isaac), as the two engage in philosophical dialogues about their diverging techniques and the nature of art.

Van Gogh’s unconventional and innovative use of color and form allowed him to create landscapes and portraits like no one else. In the process he confounded both the public and the artistic establishment at the time.

In one of the film’s best scenes, he talks with a priest (Mads Mikkelsen) sent to gauge the artist’s sanity during his time in an asylum, telling him that “maybe God made me a painter for people who weren’t born yet.”

Dafoe’s stellar performance is good enough to let us overlook the fact that the actor is nearly three decades older than van Gogh was at the end of his life in 1890, when he died of a gunshot wound at age 37. He plays the artist as a man whose need to create is as necessary as the air he breathes. He’s also desperately lonely, but as much as he desires to draw the world close, he can’t help pushing it away with his sometimes volatile behavior.

Cinematographer Benoît Delhomme’s constantly moving handheld camerawork alternates extreme close-ups with richly textured landscapes. As the film goes on, Schnabel and Delhomme bring in other methods to represent the painter’s deteriorating mental state. There’s overlapping and repeated voiceovers; sometimes the bottom half of the frame is blurred, as though we’re watching the film through bifocals with the wrong prescription. The technique is meant to disorient, but can sometimes feel like an emotional barrier, keeping us at a remove. Luckily Dafoe’s performance acts as counterpoint to those moments, always drawing us further in.

At its best, Schnabel’s film immerses us in the artist’s occasionally scattered perspective.

It succeeds at doing what I wish more biopics were able to accomplish, giving us a glimpse into the process of a true artist at work. We’re given the chance to stand beside van Gogh in a golden field in the French countryside, searching for the perfect light, and it’s thrilling to observe the artist putting brush to canvas.

A most unusual portrait, “At Eternity’s Gate” is an evocative look into the troubled but brilliant mind of a man who saw the world as no one else did, capturing the beauty and wonder in the eternal possibilities of the creative process.
