Creating jobs for creatives: Rochester WPA As of early March 2012, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that national unemployment rates currently stand at 8.3 percent. With the presidential election looming in November, job creation is on every politico’s lips, and the current economic situation calls for creative measures in getting people employed.

With that in mind, it’s a good time to take a look back at the New Deal-era Works Progress Administration. This massive government-funded art initiative resulted in more than a quarter of a million

works throughout the nation. The WPA was active in Rochester in the 1930’s and 40’s, with a specific focus on local architectural and artistic creations. The New Deal didn’t overlook artists, whose skills tend to drop to the bottom of the list of perceived utility during dire economic situations.

You might not even be aware of the related pieces that still exist in the area, or the ongoing efforts to preserve them, but they raise questions about art and culture in contemporary Rochester, and how public-art projects are created today.

Thinking Catholics

If you have a good Catholic education, you can probably read. If you have a REALLY good Catholic education, say circa 1965, you can probably think, too. Think for yourself, that is.

John Refermat’s March 20 letter presents us with the 1968 encyclical Humanae Vitae, and he mentions on the side that the encyclical was issued despite even some pushback from within the church. That would be those who looked to Vatican II and all that it promised. That would be Catholic theologian Hans Kung, Rochester’s own Father Charles Curran, and other theologians, bishops, nuns, and laity who were subsequently silenced.

It is the responsibility of every Catholic, especially Catholic women, to find out what happened in the 60’s, to understand the real issue (papal authority), to not sit passively in the pew and be told that you are sinning by planning your family, to even be told how to vote! Two books that tell the story very well are “Practicing Catholic” by James Carroll and “Loyal Dissent” by Charles E. Curran.

If you use contraception, speak up. You know in your heart that it is OK — you need to know what happened in the 60’s (and earlier), when the successor to John XXIII issued his encyclical. And the continued efforts of John Paul and now Benedict to keep that papal authority.

Oh, by the way: the pope only became infallible on July 18, 1870.

Comically appropriate

When the Democrat and Chronicle opted to “relocate” (a more pleasant word than “censor”) the recent controversial Doonesbury comic strips from their print to their online edition, I and several others posted questions on their web site inquiring why such a move was felt to be necessary. The response from a D&C executive was that the content of the strips was deemed “inappropriate” for children.

The D&C was then asked if they believed that children young and impressionable enough to be scarred by the “inappropriate” abortion story line in Doonesbury were considered to be regular readers of this adult-oriented strip. We did not receive a response to that question.

I then pointed out that the D&C had continued to run in their print edition the strip, “Pearls Before Swine” (a recent and rather edgy addition to the “funny papers”) despite the fact that, during the period of Doonesbury’s exile, “Pearls” featured a strip in which a character was gunned down and killed and also a strip in which a character was placed in bondage while another character, holding a pair of car-battery jumper cables queried, “May I electrocute his nipples now?”

I asked whether these strips had been reviewed by D&C management prior to their publication and questioned whether such content was also not clearly “inappropriate” for young readers. The D&C’s response was that, yes “Pearls” had been reviewed and approved by management but that they did not consider it to be “inappropriate.”

They even sought to liken the shooting and killing in “Pearls” to the activities in a Bugs Bunny cartoon. The electrodes were not commented on.

What this says about the rationale behind, and the rationality of, the Democrat and Chronicle’s process for evaluating which comics our children should or

should not be exposed to, I leave to parents to judge for themselves.

Pros, cons on a trigger law

Please proceed with caution (“Groups Push Parent Trigger Law,” March 21). Parents like me in California have huge regrets regarding the parent trigger. Supporting parent engagement and empowerment is one thing; using parents to pursue an agenda is another thing entirely.

A few things to watch for: Any bill that does not include an on-going role for parents post-trigger is not empowerment. A mechanism for communitywide dialog must also be included. Not one “trigger” has been successful, because to date, not one trigger has been an authentic expression of the community. All trigger efforts so far have been manipulated by competing (and outside) interests.

Also, do not forget that a public school does not belong to the parents whose children happen to be enrolled at one moment in time. It is a public resource.

A neighborhood school belongs to the taxpayers, to the families who came before and who will come in the future and to the majority of the community that do not have school-age children.

BEATRICE

Posted on rochestercitynewspaper.com Beatrice, I hear you regarding the potential for parents to be manipulated by outsiders — the latter of whom do not have the best interests of our children at heart, but I’m not so sure I agree with your idea that “a public school does not belong to the parents whose children happen to be enrolled at one moment in time.” In fact, I’m not sure that the discussion is really about who the school “belongs to.” It’s really about whether or not schools are providing adequate and appropriate education for our children, and of course, many definitely are not.

I don’t think that we can blame parents for rejecting continued, decades-old gradualistic approaches or for taking the position that they must do something now. Not only are more and more of our children going straight from the school-house to the jail-house — more and more of them are going to the grave, at earlier ages than ever before. The very old, urban education crisis is a national scandal and crime, which calls for an immediate declaration of a national emergency now! No more waiting. No more excuses.

HOWARD EAGLE

Posted on rochestercitynewspaper.com You want to do something now? Then do something!

Read to children, spend time with them. Help them organize worthwhile activities. Offer to coach teams (or assist the coaches), organize fundraisers for the teams, organize guest speakers to history and language classes. Help teachers organize field trips and raise funds to pay for buses.

I speak as someone who has taught for near two decades in both parochial and public schools, am an Eagle Scout, have been homeless, worked construction, pumped gas, and so on.

There is nothing as exhausting as teaching and raising other people’s children. In fact, I’m closing in on 12 hours at work today. Think over and over before we privatize another venture.

On that note: Time to go home and see my own wife and children! Peace.

KONG

Posted on rochestercitynewspaper.com Here in California, parents were not behind the parent trigger law. It was created by an organization started by high-profile charterschool operator Steve Barr and is designed to empower charter-school operators, not parents.

The parent trigger has never been used successfully, has never improved a school. Both attempted parent triggers have

collapsed into chaos, controversy, charges, and countercharges, fracturing school communities.

The very concept of turning over a public institution into private hands is highly questionable. Why not apply it to a police department when the public isn’t satisfied with the crime rate, or the transit system when the buses don’t run on time?

Sincere support for the parent trigger law — as opposed to the craven, salivating promotion by forces that want to make a profit from your children — is based on the notion that something, anything, is better than the status quo. But consider applying that concept in medicine, for example. Would you endorse the notion of trying any old experiment on your ill child?

CAROLINE GRANNAN

Posted on rochestercitynewspaper.com Caroline, Parents Across America’s agenda is taken right out of the union’s playbook: smaller class sizes, more spending, opposing reform. Rochester parents have played by the status quo’s rules for a long time. We’re not going to Albany any more to lobby for more funding; we’re going to Albany to lobby for more accountability.

DIANE RAVAGED

Posted on rochestercitynewspaper.com My take on this is: In order to sign the “Parent Trigger” petition, a parent would have to have attended parent conferences with their child’s teachers. They would have to go to Open House and Meet the Teacher Night. They would have to give the school an operating phone number.

They would not be allowed to have told the teacher, “I can’t do anything with him/her at home, either.”

They would not be allowed to beat the child as a form of discipline. I can go on, but I think I made my point.

Guns, racism, and Trayvon Martin There are multiple concerns related to the shooting of Trayvon Martin, not the least being gun control and Stand Your Ground laws.

RIT criminal justice professor John Klofas cites “incredible shifts in law over the past 10 to 12 years.” And, he notes, they’ve “all gone in the same direction”: the right to carry a gun in more and more places, the right to carry a concealed weapon, the right to shoot regardless of where you are if you think you’re threatened…

Equally troubling, though, is what Trayvon Martin’s death tells us about racism in America. We may think we don’t have a racism problem, but we do. And black Americans are experiencing the shooting in a way that white Americans are not, because we cannot.

Not surprisingly, black journalists have been particularly eloquent about the case.

Note, for instance, the recent comment by the New York Times’ Charles Blow: “As the father of two black teenage boys, this case hits close to home.

This is the fear that seizes me whenever my boys are out in the world: that a man with a gun and an itchy finger will find them ‘suspicious.’ That passions may run hot and blood run cold. That it might all end with a hole in their chest and a hole in my heart.”

The Washington Post’s Eugene Robinson juxtaposed Trayvon’s death with the 1955 murder of Emmett Till.

A lot has changed, Robinson wrote, and many black boys now grow up in an integrated society, attend integrated schools, have white friends. They don’t understand their parents’ talk about race — and their warnings — “when their own youthful experience tells them that race doesn’t matter.”

Discussions about Stand Your Ground laws are important, Robinson wrote. “But the tragic and essential thing, for me,” he added, “is the bull’seye that black men wear throughout their lives — and the vital imperative to never, ever, be caught on the wrong street at the wrong time.”

From CNN columnist LZ Granderson: “I don’t trust cops and I don’t know many black people who do.

I respect them. I sympathize with them.

I am appreciative of the work they do.

But when you’ve been pulled over for no good reason as many times as I have; when you’ve been in handcuffs for no good reason as many times as I have; when you run out to buy some allergy medication and upon returning home,

Black Americans are experiencing the shooting in a way that white Americans are not, because we cannot.” find yourself surrounded by four squad cars with flashing lights and all you can think about is how not to get shot, you learn not to trust cops.”

(And if you want horses’-mouth proof of the vitality of racism today, read the comments following Granderson’s column.)

From The American Prospect’s EJ Graff, the white mother of a black 8-year-old who is large for his age: “In just a few years, he’s going to look 16 or 18 — the age when some people look at his skin color and, instead of seeing ‘child,’ see ‘menace.’”

“Someday,” Graff wrote, “my young man is going to go for a walk, and I won’t be with him. I feel sick to my stomach.”

“I’ve sat in community meetings,” says RIT’s John Klofas “where black people have said, ‘We have to teach young people how to interact with police officers’” — teach them not to hold their hands in a certain way, not to look a certain way — “telling young black males that yeah, the Constitution applies to you, but…”

Trayvon Martin was simply walking down a residential street. But to the “neighborhood watch” volunteer who followed him, he looked like he was “up to no good.”

“Please tell me,” wrote Eugene Robinson, “what would be the innocent way to walk down the street with an iced tea and some Skittles? Hint: For black men, that’s a trick question.”

We’ve got a long, long way to go.

Michael Steinberg, attorney for Occupy Rochester, argued that the contract under which Occupiers are staying in Washington Square Park is renewed automatically every two months, unless Occupiers are found in substantial violation. The city said that Occupiers are damaging the park and keeping the public out. State Supreme Court Justice Evelyn Frazee will issue her decision at a later date.

Brooks says clues to her platform are in her past It’s not at all surprising that Maggie Brooks has chosen to run for Congress. Frankly, it was hard to find a reason why she wouldn’t do it: she’s in her final term as county executive, she’s still very popular, and congressional redistricting has generally played out in a way that makes her candidacy viable.

The D&C quoted Brooks last week as saying it’s too early in the campaign to be “pinned down on issues.” The risk she runs there is looking like she’s market testing her opinions before they come out of her mouth. But in a phone interview, the county executive said that her ideology and her approach to governing are well known and won’t change just because she’s running for a higher office.

People know my values and they know my priorities and they know what my platform is.

But “jobs” and “the economy” aren’t positions so much as they are nouns.

RCSD employees may get housing incentive The Rochester school board may create a policy to encourage its employees to buy a house and live in the city. If the policy passed, the district would join about a dozen major employers participating in the City of Rochester’s Employer Assisted Housing Initiative, said district officials at a recent school board policy meeting.

The policy could help diversify the district’s work force, officials said. The majority of Rochester’s teachers are female and white, though the student population is largely black and Latino. And most of the district’s teachers live outside the city.

The policy could attract district alumni and college graduates about to embark on a career in urban education, said board member Jose Cruz. And it could also help improve city neighborhoods and shore up the city’s tax base.

EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Communities of color: history ignored Christine Sleeter sometimes asks teachers to analyze their classroom textbooks, noting the images of people, names of main characters, and how stories are told — paying particular attention to race, gender, and ethnicity.

What emerges is a quick portrait of who is culturally represented in the books, says Sleeter, professor emerita at California State University Monterey Bay. “What almost always comes up is that the books are mainly about whites, predominantly white males,” she says.

If a teacher is in a public school classroom in Southern California, much of the student population will be Latino, Sleeter says. And it will probably be difficult to hold students’ interest with instruction materials and lesson plans presented almost entirely through a white, Eurocentric lens, she says.

Sleeter has researched and written extensively about multicultural education, which she also teaches to both new and experienced teachers. Her recent lecture at Nazareth College drew about 100 people from across the education spectrum.

Sleeter recalls giving the textbook analysis exercise to a class of experienced teachers and principals a few years ago. They were earning credits to become school administrators.

“At the end of the class, one woman, a principal, came up to me and thanked me and told me how much she enjoyed the class, but she never did figure out why we were analyzing the textbooks,” Sleeter says. “It continues to boggle me, how some people get this immediately and some don’t. We’ve been having discussions about who is represented culturally in the curriculum ever since desegregation back in the 1970’s. And here we are still asking ourselves, ‘Gosh, I just don’t understand why these kids don’t seem interested in school.’”

Multicultural education is a

complex approach to teaching and engaging students, particularly students from historically marginalized communities.

Advocates say that the future US society will be pluralistic and diverse.

Born out of the Civil Rights Movement through the efforts of African-American educators, parents, and community leaders, multicultural education has become the big umbrella, Sleeter says. It has been adopted

by Hispanic,

Asian, Native American, gay, and other communities, as well.

Multicultural teaching emphasizes the need to include race, class, and diversity in the curriculum and instruction materials used in the classroom. It is not something to be trotted out for heritage festivals or as historical references, Sleeter says.

“Sometimes people think that multicultural education means having a lot of celebrations, and it’s much more than that,” she says.

Advocates of multicultural education say students are more engaged and interested when teachers connect the subject matter to what is familiar to their students. And though having a diverse work force is important, there’s much more to multiculturalism, Sleeter says.

Sleeter draws on the experience of one of her students, a fifth-grade teacher in a Southern California school where the student population was 99 percent Latino.

The teacher went to the school librarian to find books that were age appropriate, and experientially and culturally relevant. She used the books to teach reading.

“Almost overnight there was an uptick in student involvement in reading,” Sleeter says.

Going one step further, the fifthgrade teacher and some of her colleagues conducted an experiment in side-by-side schools. In one, teachers redesigned the curriculum to be culturally relevant. At the other, they continued working with more traditional materials.

“At the beginning and end of the semester, they tested the students in reading and math and compared the scores,” Sleeter says. “The experimental group started out with lower scores, but ended up with the much higher scores.”

Numerous studies confirm the fifthgrade teacher’s findings, Sleeter says.

Students of color are often alienated from the whole educational process, she says. They learn to believe that they are different and academic failures, she says.

“People say, ‘The parents don’t care about education, these kids are not academically oriented, they come from poor households,’” Sleeter says. “But low achievement and disengagement can be reversed through multicultural education.

I don’t say that to suggest that high levels of poverty don’t matter, because they do.

This isn’t a silver bullet. But there are a lot of things we can do better.”

A frequent misconception about

multicultural education is that it can be used successfully only by teachers of color. But the question is not whether white teachers can effectively instruct a classroom of predominantly African American or Latino students, Sleeter says.

“The question is, what can we do better to prepare young people in a diverse society to have some notion of who they are?” she says.

Students with this self-awareness will be better prepared to enter a diverse college campus or a global work force, Sleeter says.

Just as important is that they will be able to think more creatively about issues of racism, institutionalized poverty, and heterosexism that are endemic in American society, she says.

But if multicultural education theory works so well, why isn’t it used more often?

“The problem has to do with continuing clashes around ethnic studies that haven’t been resolved,” Sleeter says.

The country has undergone a dramatic demographic shift, particularly in the southwest regions of the US. White conservatives tend to see social order and US history through a lens of: what we created was the best of all possible worlds, Sleeter says. And talk of change can be threatening.

“But for people of color, they are still disproportionately poor,” Sleeter says.

“And they’re saying the systems that are in place, including the education system, still work to advantage white people.”

She cites a recent decision by the board of the Tucson Unified School District in Arizona to dismantle the district’s Mexican-American studies program. The board’s critics, including Sleeter, view the decision as an unfortunate step backward in the tense relationship between older white Arizonans and a younger population of Mexican-American students.

“We could learn to be a diverse society that makes that diversity work to everyone’s advantage, but we’re kind of stumbling,” Sleeter says.

How do we make sure that we are eliminating the red tape and all of the regulations that handcuff our business and make them noncompetitive? How do we as a government help with that? Those are the kinds of things we do each and every day in Monroe County, and a lot of that is based, quite honestly, on federal policy. Some of things that happen in Washington are things we have to respond to on the local level.”

“I mean, there’s a whole host of regulations, whether you’re talking about energy policies, some of the health care things that handcuff companies, some of the small business restrictions that make it harder to establish business and harder to stay in business. There are a lot of ways that government can come to the table and support business.”

Brooks also hasn’t yet addressed the social issues, like contraception, that are getting so much attention in the excruciating Republican presidential primaries. In our conversation, Brooks said she will be “fully vetted” on those issues, but they’re not what she’s running on. But Brooks and her competitor, incumbent representative Louise Slaughter, are two women running for Congress in a year when women’s issues are getting star billing. People will want to know and deserve to know where Brooks stands. If she’s the last vote standing between President Mitt Romney and the elimination of Planned Parenthood, what would she do?

“I want to establish a campaign that shows people what my priorities will be and what I think is important,” she said, in response to the Romney question. “And I want to hear from them what they think is important. All the other stuff needs to be answered, certainly. But it shouldn’t be a distraction right out of the gate.”

Brooks also said that the country can learn a lot from the county in terms of closing deficits and keeping taxes down.

But it’s well-documented that although Brooks has not raised the tax rate during her time as county executive, that she has relied on things like one-shot revenue enhancers, and has increased fees and instituted charge backs for Monroe Community College.

It is of vital importance that your paid professionals know what they’re doing. In many cases, you even like to see their credentials. So don’t complain if you’re temporarily blinded by the dazzling sheen of all the trophies that greet you inside the entrance to Good Smoke BBQ. That hard-earned hardware represents the spoils won during the last five years of barbecue competitions at which the Good Smoke folks — that’s Kelly and Brian Wemett, Josh Bickham, Rachel DeBlieck, and Jon Vallone — fine-tuned the food that they now serve at their new brickand-mortar restaurant.

The big chalkboard menu on the wall tells the traditional story of American barbecue, but the offerings also demonstrate that Good Smoke is confident enough to write a chapter or two of its own. “We want to show there’s more to it than just ribs and pulled pork,” says Kelly Wemett. And though both those staples are of course proudly represented on the menu — the ribs here are the shorter, meatier loinback variety ($14.95 for a half-rack) — Good Smoke goes beyond the expected with playful hybrids like “moink balls” ($6.95), which are bacon-wrapped meatballs that have been smoked and then tossed in a spicy-sweet glaze, and “Tennessee tacos” ($8.95), made from flour tortillas stuffed with shredded pork, housemade slaw, and drizzled with a chipotle crema.

Served up as part of a meal on a stainlesssteel tray covered in butcher paper, Good Smoke’s generously portioned sides include the usual suspects like baked beans and mac salad, as well as the decadent cheesy Cajun taters (as in tots, people) and a sublime smoked potato salad that just screams for a picnic. Oh, and you know how the best part of cornbread is the

crust? Well, Good Smoke bakes its version in individual helpings, meaning crust all around.

But that ain’t dessert. This is: “gooey bars” ($4.95), consisting of luscious brown-sugary bananas nestled in a buttery vanilla pastry base and topped with pieces of bacon. You could share it... but you don’t have to.

Good Smoke BBQ is located at 326 W. Commercial St., East Rochester. Prices range from $4.95 to $25.95. It is open Monday-Saturday 11 a.m.-9 p.m. For more information, call 203-1576 or visit goodsmokebbq.com.

Brine language

Most of us meander around the Rochester Public Market and marvel over everything for sale. But Sam Tischler noticed something was missing, mentioned it to Heba Moustafa, and just a few short weeks later the enterprising couple were filling an empty niche. Since last December Roc Your Pickle has been supplying marketgoers with an array of fresh kosher pickles, barrel-cured and sourced from picklemakers on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. And when addressing the packaging issue, Tischler and Moustafa circumvented the distinct lack of rentable commercial kitchens in the area by working with the board of the Flying Squirrel Community Space to get the Flying Squirrel’s kitchen certified by the County Health Department.

Moustafa says that she and Tischler, an organic farmer, plan to put up their own pickles soon, but until then they’re providing Rochester with crisp, salty, and occasionally puckery goodness from New York City. Roc Your Pickle’s pepperoncini and giardiniera are packed in vinegar, but the cucumbers are pickled in the traditional salt and water brine,

Anyone who is trying to keep gluten-free already knows that, with the exception of a few accommodating restaurants, they can pretty much forget about enjoying pasta on an evening out to dinner. The good news is that Mario’s (2740 Monroe Ave., 271-1111, mariosit.com) offers an entire gluten-free menu, including selections featuring Tinkyáda Pasta Joy’s rice-based penne (mmmm... cioppino, $26) as well as Redbridge glutenfree sorghum beer ($6). The bad news? There is no bad news; don’t be such a pessimist.

Creating jobs for creatives

WPA art in Rochester

s of early March 2012, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that national unemployment rate currently stands at 8.3 percent, with many Americans out of work for years at a time. With the presidential election looming in November, job creation is on every politico’s lips, and the current economic situation calls for creative measures in getting people employed.

With that in mind, it’s a good time to take a look back at New Deal-era Works Progress Administration projects. This massive government-funded art initiative resulted in more than a quarter of a million works throughout the nation, some of them now considered hugely culturally significant.

The WPA was active in Rochester in the 1930’s and 40’s, with a specific focus on local architectural and artistic creations. You might not even be aware of the related pieces that still exist in the area, or the ongoing efforts to preserve them, but they raise questions about art and culture in contemporary Rochester, and how public-art projects are created today.

During President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal Era, from 1933 to 1936, the government set about creating jobs for the multitude of Americans unemployed

during the Great Depression. The New Deal didn’t overlook artists, whose skills tend to drop to the bottom of the list of perceived utility during dire economic situations. The Works Progress Administration, renamed the Works Project Administration in 1939, employed millions of people in the construction of public buildings, roads, and operated large arts, drama, media, and literacy projects.

The organization created various subprojects for the arts, including the Federal Arts Project in 1935, the Public Works of Art Project in 1933-34, the Department of the Treasury’s Section of Paintings and Sculpture (1934-42, renamed the Section of Fine Arts in 1938), and the Treasury Relief Art Project, 1935-38. In 1943, the WPA was liquidated as a result of the employment boom due to the economic upturn during World War II. By this time, the federal government had turned administration of the projects and funding responsibilities over to the state, county, and city governments.

According to a January 16, 1934, article in the Democrat & Chronicle, the federal government offered positions for the nation’s creatives who were making less than $14 per week, more than doubling their salaries to a rate of $34 per week. (Taking inflation into account, the latter figure would amount to approximately $577.65

today.) The project also supported the idea of “democratic” art, which held that art should be made available to all. This idea reaches back into history at different times when cultures realize that a sign of strength, capability, and stability is affording the beautification of the cities, which also improves citizen morale. If you can’t own works personally, you can still enjoy the municipal beautification provided by the government. But these enhancements have always told a very specific version of the culture’s story, in a specific aesthetic.

On the national level, WPA-era art and architecture included municipal buildings, murals that conveyed historic elements or human-cultural ideals, posters promoting public health initiatives, national parks, and theatrical productions, and more. The look tended to be clean and graphic, art deco, and included the sturdy, idealized human figure as much as possible. By and large, the aesthetic shunned abstract work, instead favoring relatable, accessible styles. Also of the era are photographer Dorothea Lange’s iconic images of life during the Great Depression (though her work was created for another New Deal endeavor, the Farm Security Administration).

Lange documented the hardships of the era for future generations to have a more human, intimate awareness of the plight that had passed before, and might yet come around again.

Several local scholars are currently pulling together research on WPA-era art, so you can expect to see more information on the subject in the coming years. Jessica Marten, assistant curator at Memorial Art Gallery, believes that the current increased interest in WPA art is a marker of our economically unstable times. MAG librarian Lu Harper has been conducting research on the WPA era as part of preparations leading up to the MAG’s 100th anniversary in October 2013, because WPA was a crucial part of MAG’s history.

Much work from the WPA era remains, even locally, but some of it takes a bit of digging to find. Being that the institutions played such an important role locally in WPA and FAP projects, the Memorial Art Gallery and Rochester Museum and Science Center are good places to begin the search.

“Broadly speaking,” says MAG librarian Harper, “there were two main WPA projects in Rochester.” These included the Fine Arts Project centered at MAG, under the direction of Gertrude Herdle Moore, who was director of the museum from 1922 to 1962; the other was a separate project at Rochester Museum and Science Center, which focused on documenting the Seneca nation and its people’s artistic creations.

Moore worked closely with artist and designer Erik Hans Krause, who oversaw

10 City march 28 - APRIL 3, 2012

many WPA projects in Rochester — and designed many of them himself — while other, less-skilled artists completed them under his direction. Landscape painter Carl Peters had a good relationship with the Herdle sisters (former MAG director Gertrude Herdle Moore, and Isabel Herdle, who served as assistant director of the gallery from 1932 to 1972), says Marten, and though his regionalist paintings are more impressionistic and do not resemble the murals he is also known for, he offered work in the aesthetic style desired for WPA works, and he established a reputation for himself as a muralist.

Beginning in 1936, MAG was the center for the Rochester-era Fine Arts Projects funded by the Works Progress Administration, says Harper. Initially announced as a Civil Works Administration project, the work ended up as part of the WPA. MAG had an exhibition in early 1937 about the WPA projects, and the exhibition booklet for this can still be found in the museum’s collections.

Also found in MAG’s collection is a small diorama of the Acropolis of Athens, which served as an educational tool that traveled between schools. Nestled in a black wood and glass case, the painstakingly detailed vista was created by artist Richard Bills, who made many other dioramas, including Maya temples. The work reveals a scene of mountainous terrain for a backdrop, with the central Acropolis and its temple structures (including the Parthenon), diminutive people and plants, and a giant golden statue of Athena presiding over the scene.

A series of guidebooks for various areas of the country was also created under the WPA,

which included a guide to Rochester. These books were “known for being well-written and historically accurate,” say Harper, and they included geography, history, and information on the then-contemporary scene. Copies are available for perusal in the public library, and the MAG has a special copy in its holdings, with a dedication to Gertrude Herdle Moore.

Remnants of another WPA initiative, the Indian Arts Project, can be found in the Ögwe’öwe:ka:’ (roughly translated from Seneca language to “Native Things”) collection at Rochester Science and Museum Center.

The IAP, also referred to as the Seneca Arts Project, was developed in 1935 by Dr. Arthur C. Parker, director of Rochester Municipal Museum (as the RMSC was known at the time), as a WPA program, “which employed Native American artists and artisans primarily from the Tonawanda and Cattaraugus reservations to create items that reflected many of the forms, materials, and motifs of traditional and contemporary Native American culture,” per the RMSC’s website.

Parker hoped this endeavor would serve as a model for the rest of the nation, and the Seneca Arts Project was featured in the 1939 New York World’s Fair. Search the center’s library catalog site, and you can view 250 of the thousands of pieces in the IAP that were selected for the Ögwe’öwe:ka:’ project. These include 117 paintings by Seneca artist Ernie Smith that depict traditional Seneca life.

Another important remnant of WPA works in Rochester is the Fire Department Headquarters and shops on North Street.

The complex includes two gorgeous art-deco

structures with firefighter paraphernalia carved in the masonry, constructed by the Stewart and Bennett, Inc. firm and designed

by Rochester architect Joseph P. Flynn, made possible by funds from the Public Works Administration. The main building, which was constructed in 1936 (the other in 1937), is the flashier of the two, with rescue-ax motifs above the bright red doors, and two firemen emerging from the masonry around the threshold. Over time, rain has settled dirt into the guardians’ craggy faces, creating the perfect shadowing effect and adding to the design. The masonry of the second building boasts lanterns and chains, and the building butts right up to the Inner Loop. Despite

many buildings of historic importance being ripped down by the addition of that roadway, this structure made the demolition cut.

Efforts to preserve WPA work are successful — or not — depending on where the pieces reside, and the resources that related groups are working with, says MAG’s Harper. For instance, the 1942 Carl Peters murals at Charlotte High School on Lake Avenue (which itself has a beautiful art-deco exterior) are made up of eight 19-foot-tall paintings situated high on the walls of the school’s auditorium. continues on page 12

These works were restored in 2008 through the efforts of the class of 1945 alumni group. From scene to scene, the Charlotte area is shown in rapid transformation from Native Americans fishing on the pristine and wild shores of Lake Ontario, to the arrival of Europeans, to the area becoming entirely settled by invaders.

Canoes are replaced by great ships; the shore woodlands are taken over by the familiar Charlotte-Genesee lighthouse, log and brick houses, and railroads. In one work, natives interact with settlers holding paperwork, in the next a solo Native American kneels before a trapper, and by the fifth mural, no natives are present at all.

An important relic of the WPA era was donated to MAG by the Miller family in 2009, which sparked Jessica Marten’s research on the era’s art. Thomas Miller was a close friend to muralist Carl Peters, and after Peters died, Miller helped his family maintain his legacy. When Miller died, his family reached out to MAG to donate more than 60 drawings, which represent the various stages of planning and prep work for many Peters murals, including those at Charlotte High School, Joseph C. Wilson Magnet Commencement Academy (formerly West High School), Wilson Foundation Academy (formerly James Madison High School), the old Fairport Library (which is now the Fairport Historical Museum), and other pieces, such as a map of the Lake Ontario area, circa 1940, that are not tied to known Peters projects. The donated works range from composition sketches, to more developed plans, to crispy drawings that he would have presented to a committee for approval. The donated drawings provide a fascinating window into the “working process of an artist,” says Marten, and they reflect the intense colors and blocky, sculptural style of bodies found in the finished works.

Madison High School’s murals include “Life of Action” and “Life of Contemplation,” depicting men engaged in industry in the former, and in fields of thought in the latter, with a female central figure. “Life of Action” was restored with funds raised by the Miller family, and is still on display at the school. However “Life of Contemplation” is awaiting further restoration courtesy of a recently awarded Rochester Community Foundation grant.

The Academy of Medicine had a 1941 mural — Marten’s preliminary research shows it was destroyed, but the reason is unknown — and there are rumors of others that have been walled over. Marten has an application in to the National Endowment for the Arts to fund conservation efforts for the drawings. University of Rochester professor Joan Saab, whose academic interests also include WPA-era art, wrote a

letter of support for the MAG grant, which will allow Marten to follow through with plans for an exhibition of the works that would seek to tie in Rochester history with the current Rochester community.

Newspaper articles of the time report that students at the schools modeled for Peters, says Marten. She raises the point that the current students who attend the schools where the murals reside “do not see themselves in those murals,” which makes garnering excitement over this section of Rochester history a difficult task. Marten says there is consideration for a contest or program offered in partnership between the schools and MAG, in which students could create their own versions of the murals, placing themselves in Rochester history, in the hope of raising enthusiasm among students.

In 2009, Rochester adopted a new public-art policy that resolved to set aside money for civic art. For capital-improvement projects costing $1 million or more, 1 percent of those funds would be reserved for public-art projects. But with some city projects stalled or cancelled, and during an era of devastating fiscal issues, many potential art projects have had to wait.

Still, City Councilmember Elaine Spaull was optimistic when she spoke with City Newspaper about opportunities for public-art integration in ongoing projects, stating that “there is goodwill and interest” in pursuing

public-art endeavors among city officials.

Spaull chairs the council’s newly organized Arts and Culture in the Center City committee, which will pursue opportunities for incorporating public art as development projects unfold, with possibilities for publicprivate partnerships to be embraced.

Some examples of such partnerships can be found in the recent overhaul of the Callahan Theater and new Arts Center Gallery at Nazareth College, as well as the 2010 expansion and renovation of the Eastman Theatre. There are periodic calls for government-funded public-art projects from neighborhood associations, as seen in the South Wedge, as well as the ArtWalk Extension Project in Neighborhood of the Arts. Creative projects include sculptural benches and bike racks, and paintings on traffic utility boxes. And artists can compete for grants for public arts projects through the Arts and Cultural Council for Greater Rochester or the National Endowment for the Arts, among other organizations.

These examples of fundraising initiatives for the traditional arts are increasingly being joined by endeavors on an individual and small-group level to create works of public art with little or no government assistance. One example can be found with Rochesterians Jason Fair and Dr. Ian Wilson, a radiologist at University or Rochester Medical Center, who co-founded the Rochester-based nonprofit The Synthesis Collaborative, which seeks to bring teleradiology and cloud-computing technology to developing

countries. In addition to helping to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as tuberculosis and complications of HIV/AIDS, the group raises funds and sponsors beautiful, community-focused, site-specific murals to complement its medical-imaging installations. Last summer, Synthesis Collaborative brought artists from Cape Town, South Africa, to join Rochester artists in creating murals on Troup Street and around Rochester, to raise awareness for the group’s mission and to help beautify our city. Another Rochester mural installation is in the works for later this summer, and the forward movement of inspired and intrepid individuals continues.

It was like watching the band and its music grow in a time-lapse display. But no matter how small the line-up or crude the composition, these cats are funky, funky, funky.

Ex-Iceman sideman Debbie Davies had ’em stomping the Dinosaur dance floor later that night with her tight trio and tight twang. Davies’ picking is fluid, yet has a rather staccato sting to it. Sure, we talk about groove a lot, but it don’t mean a thang if it ain’t got that twang.

The Goods have that name for a reason; there isn’t a weak link in the trio.

Each member is virtually flawless, which flies in the face of one of my rock ‘n’ roll philosophies: every band needs a weak link, someone whose slack the others have to pick up. Well, The Goods don’t have one. That’s because the Goods transcend rock ’n’ roll, moving into more of a sonic illustration than a mere assembly of beats and notes. That’s what I heard Friday night at Lovin’ Cup as the band delighted fans and scraped the sky.

Jellyroot closed the night with its electrified pub pop rock. The band knows how to turn out nice mid-tempo rockers, but I like it best when it stands on the gas.

[ VOCAL ] While many competition-based TV

shows take a downward slide from one season to the next, “Classical Idol” just keeps getting better. More than 70 contestants applied from around the world to compete before a live audience and an esteemed panel of judges for a top prize of $2,000 and an opportunity to perform a solo in concert with the Rochester Oratorio Society. This year, 20 were chosen to compete in a semi-final round and roughly 10 finalists will compete in the final this week. Singers perform selections of opera, oratorio, art song, or musical theater. — BY PALOMA CAPANNA

Foxy Shazam Tuesday, April 3 Water Street Music Hall, 204 N. Water St. 7 p.m. | $13-$15 | waterstreetmusic.com [ ROCK ] Cincinnati sensation Foxy Shazam is a

psycho-sexual collision of raw rock ’n roll, glam, and soul. If you dig The Stooges or James Brown — and frankly, who doesn’t? — then you’ll love this band.

Foxy Shazam makes no effort to contain itself musically or physically. The band wallows unapologetically in salacious excess and sex appeal. Lyrics like, “That’s the biggest black ass I’ve ever seen and I like it” say it all.

This band is fast, loose, and about as visceral as you can get without shedding blood. Maniac and Cadaver Dogs also perform. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Nevergreen had Sticky Lips Juke Joint jumping by the time I got there. What separates this band from other reggaerock outfits is the way the reggae is often introduced as a bridge or detour within other patterns. Its variety keeps hips guessing as vocalist Sara Passamonte coaxes out the melodies like a snake charmer.

Saturday night, me and my blonde bodyguard ventured into the jungles of Irondequoit to dig Philo Beddoe, Kraszman and Fishwife, and Anonymous Willpower as they rocked the lid off Pub 511. Anonymous Willpower focused on material off its new album, with Suzie Willpower belting salty on stiletto heels and Don Anonymous tickling the ivories beneath a hat that resembled a Mardi Gras float. The music was very theatrical, bringing to mind “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” in spots. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before this prolific duo pens a musical. How does “Willpower Does Broadway” sound?

Kraszman and Fishwife followed with some poignant, sometimes hilariously bawdy balladeering, including Loretta Lynn’s “Fist City.”

Philo Beddoe closed the night with its muscular twin-guitar attack. It was thick and bluesy with nods to bands like The Bottle Rockets and “Fandango”-era ZZ Top. Have mercy!

Wednesday, March 28 Women in Music Festival on “Live”. Hochstein Performance Hall, 50 N Plymouth Ave. hochstein.org. 12:10 p.m. Free.

A woman’s work Lorraine Desmarais Saturday, March 31 Kilbourn Hall, 26 Gibbs St. 8 p.m. | free | 274-1100, esm.rochester.edu [ PROFILE ] BY RON NETSKY

One woman sits at the keyboard surrounded by a dozen men. That’s the composition of the Lorraine Desmarais Big Band. To rule that roost — consisting of many of the top musicians in Montreal — you’ve got to have more than leadership skills; you must have enough accomplishments under your belt to earn the respect of the players. Desmarais, a formidable pianist and composer, is known for her smallgroup performances and appearances with symphony orchestras around the world.

“Her music is very power-packed,” says Dave Rivello, assistant professor of jazz studies and contemporary media and director of the New Jazz Ensemble at the Eastman School of Music.

“The harmonic movement in the more subtle pieces is unique and beautiful.” Desmarais will join Rivello and the ensemble Saturday evening as part of Eastman’s Women In Music Festival.

As composer-in-residence at the festival, Desmarais will also lead workshops, coach open rehearsals of her compositions, and participate in a panel discussion. (For a complete schedule of festival events go to esm.rochester.edu/wmf.)

Desmarais’ approach to writing for large

ensembles is somewhat unique. Most of her repertoire consists of compositions that she originally wrote with her trio or quartet in mind.

She then expands the sound, rearranging the tunes for jazz orchestra.

At her Kilbourn Hall concert she will also be doing the opposite. For the first half of the concert Desmarais will revisit “all of the best tunes from my entire discography” while playing solo piano. To do this she’ll have to scale down her trio and quartet pieces. For the second half she will join the ensemble and play her compositions in big-band format.

The musicians she leads in Montreal work for studios and play many different styles of music. Desmarais, who was impressed when she checked out the Eastman ensemble’s YouTube clips, is anxious to work with a band populated by musicians dedicated to jazz.

If you are wondering about the need for a

Women in Music Festival in 2012, try this simple test: name a few great female composers.

Chances are, unless you have specifically studied the subject, no list of female composers will come immediately to mind as readily as men like Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, or Chopin.

“This is terrible,” says Desmarais. “Not to say that earlier women composers were not [worthy of] taking their place, but the response was not right. The society kind of blocked them.

Today we are working hard and society doesn’t have a choice. People have to open their minds and realize what women are accomplishing.”

In the jazz world there have been prominent female leaders of jazz orchestras, including arranger/ composers Toshiko Akiyoshi and Maria Schneider, both of whom have had substantial success.

“It’s getting better all the time,” says Desmarais. “In the future we are going to see more. Maybe it’s education; we now have more of a chance to be educated. It’s just the normal evolution.”

Still, there are obstacles. Ten years ago, when one of Desmarais’ best students played piano with a big band, the members of the otherwise all-male ensemble decided they were not happy with a woman in such a prominent role.

“She told me, I’m ready just to dress like a man,” Desmarais says.

That is not unprecedented. From the late 1930’s to the 1960’s pianist and Jazz pianist and composer Lorraine Desmarais is composbandleader Billy Tipton, born female, er-in-residence for the 2012 Women in Music Festival. toured on the jazz circuit and recorded two PHOTO PROVIDED albums identified as a male. (In Tipton’s 16 City march 28 - APRIL 3, 2012

case there appears to have also been an issue of gender choice.)

“I like the idea of music by human beings,” says Desmarais, “but I also like the idea of a women’s festival because it’s more specific. But it’s funny, you’ll never see a Men In Music Festival.”

Of course the by-now-cliché answer is: that would be the other 51 weeks of the year.

Judging by the e-mail exchanges in the

planning of panels, Desmarais believes that all of these topics will be raised in round-table discussions, including the number of women in the field, whether it is getting better or worse for women, and if things will improve for the next generation.

Desmarais earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in classical music at the Université de Sherbrooke in Quebec. In that realm she is especially enamored of the compositions of Ravel and Bach. But in the early 1980’s she became increasingly intrigued by jazz. She won a grant from the Canadian government to travel once a month to New York City, where she studied with jazz pianist Kenny Barron.

How does her classical background affect her jazz today? “Sometimes too much in my playing,” says Desmarais. “In the writing it’s the same laws of harmony; it’s the rhythm that changes the dynamics. In jazz we write music and most of us are performers. It’s very different.

We compose things and we improvise. It’s like we are creating and re-creating a piece every time we perform.”

Her career took off in 1984 when, at the age of 28, she was awarded the top prize — for composition and performance — at the Montreal International Jazz Festival. “It’s very much linked together,” says Desmarais. “After that I was able to record my first record.”

Since then she has performed with Chick Corea, Oliver Jones, Marian McPartland, and many others.

Desmarais has found Canada to be a nurturing place for a life in music, with the government providing a lot of funding opportunities. “I’m very lucky. Most of the time when I apply for a grant, nine out of 10 times I obtain it. They are very supportive,” she says.

Desmarais has not forgotten her classical roots. She has composed several film scores and was recently commissioned to write a sonata for flute and piano. But when she releases her latest recording next month, a trio CD titled “Colours le Lune,” it will feature “lots of Latin and jazz — but large.”

Desmarais says her new compositions reflect all the touring she’s been doing, from China to Mexico to the Northern Territories of Canada to France. “Those tunes are inspired by those places.

The world is there,” she says.

ROCK/POP | Summer Twins

This delectable dream-pop duo is the symbiotic spawn of sisters Chelsea and Justine Brown. Inspired by their father’s old rock records, the Riverside, CA, siblings picked up their instruments at a young age. After a journey through a number of all-girl bands in their teen years, the sisters formed Summer Twins in 2008. While the group adheres to the ethereal sound experiments indicative of the genre, their sensual pop harmonies are layered over garage rock-riffs galvanized by the 50’s and 60’s. Their latest, self-titled album displays a large musical acumen that includes sunny, effervescent lovepop as well as tunes tinged with a neo-country twang.

ELECTRONIC | Born Gold

It’s easy to imagine Born Gold, born Cecil Frena, as Dr. Victor Frankenstein, who fused together 8-bit blips, indiscernible frequencies, junkyard beats, and nearly human vocals with some weird pseudo-science to create 2011’s “Bodysounds.”

Like Frankenstein’s monster, the end result is music that is surprisingly human, complete with loose pop melodies and catchy hooks that bring to life songs like lead single “Lawn Knives” or the more ambient “Alabaster Bodyworlds.” A Born Gold concert is an experiment in sing-along accompanied by strobe and fog machine theatrics. This weekend Born Gold will turn the Bug Jar into his laboratory, with a crowd of dancing Rochesterians as his test subjects.

Born Gold performs Friday, March 30, 8 p.m. at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. $8-$10. 454-2966, bugjar.com.

ROOTS/REGGAE | Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad

Rochester roots-reggae outfit Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad is a prolific bunch. The five-piece is preparing to release its second album this year. “Country,” a more folk-oriented, Americana album, was released at the end of January. “In These Times,” an electric, studio-made album, will be released in early April, and the band’s show at Water Street Music Hall this weekend is in celebration of it. Tickets for the show come with an immediate download of the album, and $20 tickets receive both a download of the album and a CD on the night of the show. Mosaic Foundation and Cas Haley both open.

Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad performs Saturday, March 31, 9 p.m. at Water Street Music Hall, 204 N. Water St. $15-$20. 325-5600, waterstreetmusic.com.

PSYCHEDELIC | Night Beats

Emerging haphazardly from Seattle, the Night Beats is a group for anybody who enjoys their music one step removed from organized chaos. Borrowing its name from Sam Cooke’s R & B masterpiece, the group takes that smooth soul, bathes it in motor oil, and cranks up the volume. The power trio consisting of DannyLee Blackwell’s distorted guitar and howling vocals over James Traegar and Tarek Wegner’s high-octane rhythm section creates a garage-rock aesthetic more akin to 60’s Texas psych rock than soul music or even Seattle’s flannelled grunge.

Night Beats performs Tuesday, April 3, 8 p.m. at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. $8-$10. 454-2966, bugjar.com.

20 City march 28 - april 3, 2012

Method Machine is a young local theater company given to such terms as “inciting,” “stimulating,” and “risky” when it talks about itself. It had to have had those kinds of words in mind when it took on the first part of Tony Kushner’s challenging — some might say daunting — “Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes,” now housed in Geva Theatre Center’s Fielding Nextstage.

(Method Machine is scheduled to stage part two in September, also at Geva.) The play is set in 1985. Ronald Reagan had won a second term, homeless numbers were growing, and, for the first time, something called AIDS had penetrated public awareness. There were few angels in this America, suffering from what Jimmy Carter had previously called “a malaise”

despite Reagan’s insistence that it was “morning again in America.”

“Fantasia” is the perfect word for what Kushner’s view of that world; the work is replete with contradictory elements of clear-eyed rationality, irony, and rage.

Part one uses its three and a half hours (with two intermissions) to shift back and forth between three stories that eventually intersect. In the process, the play also moves between realism and poetry, profanity and soliloquy, commonplace experience and dream.

At the center of this play set during the first swathe of AIDS deaths in the mid-1980’s, a gay couple in its 20s learns that one of the men, Prior, has the disease. Louis, his partner, cannot bear either its effect on his lover or his own debilitating guilt. The two sub-plots concern, first, Joe, a young Mormon husband, who struggles against his closeted homosexuality, and Harper, his valium-addicted wife, and, second, Roy Cohn, the lawyer, power broker, and bully who had been Senator Joseph McCarthy’s chief counsel in the 1950’s. History is Kushner’s subtext: younger audience members who miss the references will still get the play, but the brew will be thinner, the fabric less textured. Neither Roy Cohn nor AIDS happened in a vacuum.

but even longer scenes cut away in the middle of a conversation and then return just as abruptly. Similarly, a realistic character in one story shows up in someone’s dream in a different story — and vice versa. Lines between dream and reality disappear in a flip of Kushner’s imagination, and the cast of eight playing 19 parts must keep up, because the play moves to its own syncopation, punctuated by rim shots of profanity on one hand and extended dream solos on the other.

The result is a work whose rhythms are difficult to sustain; director David Henderson and the cast are successful often but certainly not always. Some scenes are gripping because of their content but also because the cast rides the tempo that shapes the emotional substance — Louis’ long speech of self-justification and selfloathing, an Orthodox rabbi’s ironically funny eulogy, Harper’s valium-induced dreams (especially in the first act). In other scenes, especially in acts two and three, the acting felt less sure as the rhythm faltered and the pace slowed.

Among the eight actors, David Jason Kyle as Louis gives the play’s richest, most nuanced, and most fully realized performance. Carl Del Buono’s Prior is impressive except for a few later scenes where he loses the rhythms of the character’s speech. Peter J. Doyle plays Cohn with consistent high intensity, as if the play’s only actual character is the least real of all. As played by Doyle, he is a ruthless messenger from a corrupt world.

A phallic Empire State Building dominates

Andrew Sloane’s set as necessary tables and chairs shuffle on and off in semidarkness — an arm chair for Harper and Joe’s apartment, a desk and a constantly ringing telephone for Cohn’s office, a bed and a chair for a hospital room. As Prior nears death alone — his greatest fear — his hallucinations appear on his blanket and on the walls of his room, thanks to projections prepared by video artist Monica Duncan. Unfortunately, the voices of the apparitions were hard to understand and the projections looked amateurish.

Their failure diminished the power of Prior’s final dream, leading to the clumsy arrival of the Angel and, with it, a further vision to follow. After such a determined production, it was regrettable to see the final moments sag.

By way of information: Act 3 has a moment of frontal male nudity that is neither gratuitous nor erotic.

LECTURE | Fringe Fest Info Sessions

As you may have heard, Rochester is getting its own fringe festival this September with the First Niagara Rochester Fringe Festival. A fringe festival — there are 40 or so worldwide, the biggest and best known being the Edinburgh Fringe Fest in Scotland — is made up of independent participants that are responsible for staging their own arts and entertainment shows under the umbrella of the festival.

There has been some confusion on this topic with local arts groups, which is why the Rochester Fringe Festival is holding info sessions titled “Fringe 101.”

The final “Fringe 101” session will be held Saturday, March 31, 2-4 p.m. at Geva Theatre (75 Woodbury Blvd.) and will include information for anyone who is interested in being part of the inaugural Fringe Fest.

Because this isn’t just a spectator event. This is your chance to show off your art to the Rochester audience and beyond. You just have to get involved.

For more information, and to RSVP, email info@ rochesterfringe.com or visit rochesterfringe.com.

THEATER | New shows

A variety of new shows open this week at area theaters. No matter what your tastes, you’re bound to find something that piques your interest on the local stages.

Starting Tuesday, April 3, the Tony and Grammy award-winning musical “Jersey Boys” (pictured) will be working its way back to the Auditorium Theatre (885 E. Main St.). The musical is based on the lives of Rock and Roll Hall of Famers The Four Seasons, specifically its star, Frankie Valli. This musical takes you through the lives of everyday Joes who invented their own sound, sold more than 175 million albums worldwide, and became one of the greatest rags-toriches stories in pop history. Expect to hear hit tunes like “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Sherry,” “Walk Like a Man,” and “December 1963 (Oh What a Night).” The show runs through April 29, and tickets range from $29.50 to $127.50. For more information, including showtimes, visit the Rochester Broadway Theatre League website at rbtl.org.

Geva Theatre (75 Woodbury Blvd.) will be dunking into its production of “Superior Donuts” on Tuesday, April 3. In the comedy, the aging-hippy proprietor of a rundown donut shop in a Chicago must deal with his eccentric AfricanAmerican friend’s plan to breathe life into the business by offering live music and low-calorie menu options. Previews run through April 6, with the official opening Saturday, April 7, at 8 p.m. The play runs through April 29. Tickets start at $25. For more information and tickets visit gevatheatre.org or call 232-4382.

Starting on Friday, March 30, “The Mirror of Love” will be part of this year’s Rainbow Theater Festival, put on annually by Bread & Water Theatre (243 Rosedale St.).

“Love” is based on a poem by comic-book luminary Alan Moore; it brings to light the hidden same-sex love through the lives of some of the world’s greatest artists including Michelangelo, Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, Oscar Wilde, and Sappho. The show runs through Sunday, April 1. Tickets cost $12-$25. For more information, visit breadandwatertheatre.org.

This weekend Kodak Hall at the Eastman Theatre (60 Gibbs St.) will host Eastman Opera Theatre’s production of Smetana’s “The Bartered Bride.” The story is set in the 19th century and revolves around a young girl with her heart set on marrying her first love, but who is being pushed to marry a wealthy landowner’s son. The production runs Thursday, March 29, through Sunday, April 1. Tickets cost $12-$35. For more information and tickets, visit esm.rochester.edu.

Shakespeare on film once again [ REVIEW ] by George Grella

“Coriolanus” (R), directed by Ralph Fiennes Now playing

Although not nearly so unlikely an adaptation as Julie Taymor’s daring and imaginative version of “Titus Andronicus” in 1999, Ralph Fiennes’s film of Shakespeare’s “Coriolanus” still seems a most unusual venture. Although neither so well known nor so highly regarded as those many other works made into countless motion pictures —e.g., “Romeo and Juliet,” “Macbeth,” “The Tempest,” “Henry V,” “Hamlet,” etc. — the play may have attracted the director for its potential

for contemporary relevance, even beyond the enduring relevance of Shakespeare’s work.

The play deals with a relatively minor character in the rich history of Rome, a courageous general named Caius Marcius, who earned the appellation of Coriolanus for his victory over the Volscians at a place called Corioli. The movie begins with a confrontation between Caius Marcius (Fiennes) and a rebellious mob of citizens — the 99 percenters — crying for food; he dismisses their demands and orders his uniformed forces to attack. He prevails over the mob, for whom he expresses absolute contempt, and the people naturally regard him as a hated oppressor.

When Coriolanus bravely leads the battle against the Volscians that wins him his name, however, the fickle crowds cheer his victory and the Roman senate proposes to elevate him to the high office of consul.

Custom dictates that he stand before the citizens of Rome to request their approval, and show them the wounds he suffered fighting for the republic.

After considerable

persuasion from his friend Menenius (Brian Cox), he reluctantly agrees to appear, but the prideful hero refuses to beg the favor of a populace he despises as foul smelling and unworthy of his concern.

When a couple of devious senators exploit the general’s obvious arrogance and intransigence to change the people’s minds once more, they incite accusations of treason and banish Coriolanus from Rome. The proud, betrayed hero joins the forces of his bitter enemy Tullus Aufidius (Gerard Butler), the leader of the Volscians, and offers his assistance in a war against Rome, truly becoming a traitor to the republic.

The action of both the play and the picture moves in a rapid and mostly straightforward manner, with one event following another at high speed; as often happens with Shakespeare on film, however, the director turns the richness of the play, its characters and language, into a series of abrupt and hasty sequences, sheer plot.

Matters of some complexity rush by hastily, with little attempt to make sense of the various transformations of emotion and intention, not only the several shifts of the people’s attitude toward Coriolanus, but even the hero’s own changes of mind.

The most important relationship in the work involves Coriolanus and his mother, Volumnia (Vanessa Redgrave), who initially speaks like a Spartan mother about her son, willing to see

him die in battle as a hero rather than shrink from the fray and live in peace and obscurity. She also, however, delivers an impassioned pleas for peace that brings tears to his eyes and persuades him to make peace with Rome; ironically, that peace ultimately seals his tragic fate.

Fiennes sets the play in contemporary times, dressing his actors in modern attire, arming his soldiers with automatic weapons, transporting them in tanks and trucks. Although the Roman soldiers wear normal uniforms, the Volscians, for some reason, look like a motorcycle gang, a bunch of shaven headed, tattooed thugs in wifebeaters. His extensive use of hand-held cameras creates a kind of false action, placing the several battle scenes close to the lens to fake the feeling of a larger arena of fighting, a cheap and unconvincing trick. He also relies heavily on tight close-ups of the actors, so that his own battle-scarred face becomes all too familiar.

The imbalance between all the urgent pacing and the several long speeches — like any film director, Fiennes cuts the play ruthlessly — suggests a determination to keep the plot going at any cost. As a result, some of the most eloquent language, particularly Volumnia’s address to her son, simply fades into inconsequentiality, and the performances themselves seem perfunctory, delivered with simulated emotion and a good deal of self-consciousness. Strangely, instead of expanding a powerful play, the director’s adaptation makes it considerably smaller.

For much of “We Need To Talk About Kevin,” you can’t take your eyes off of Tilda Swinton, who gives one hell of a performance as a frustrated mother who is unable to bond with her troubled son. But when you do look away, it’s usually because you’re rolling your eyes at this obvious, derivative horror drama with a deceptive arthouse pedigree. That’s not to say that Scottish filmmaker Lynne Ramsay (2002’s “Morvern Callar”) doesn’t raise thoughtful questions about nature versus nurture; she does, but she leaves them hanging there and instead opts to pummel the viewer with distracting creative pretensions, onedimensional characters, and symbolism right out of Directing 101.

“We Need To Talk About Kevin” is told in a nonlinear fashion over the course of 18 years, with tantalizing hints about

Tilda Swinton and John C. Reilly in “We Need to Talk About Kevin.” PHOTO COURTESY OSCILLOSCOPE PICTURES

Kevin’s ultimate fate woven through glimpses of his childhood that give specific emphasis to Kevin’s relationship to his mom. Swinton plays Eva, who can barely hide her reluctance to give up her freedom and become a mother. But along comes Kevin, and the emotional skirmishes begin immediately between Eva and her doppelgänger son. Eva’s husband Franklin (John C. Reilly, in a weird bit of casting) dismisses his wife’s valid concerns and Eva seemingly does nothing to press the issue of talking about Kevin, despite a glowering and non-communicative son whose behavior grows increasingly sociopathic.

Eva blames herself once Kevin’s maleficence reaches its violent zenith; how else to interpret the dragged-out blood motif, which includes oozy strawberry jam, tomatoes, bottles of red wine, and the scarlet paint that Eva must literally wash from her hands? The music selections are utterly random or without subtlety (Eva snoops through Kevin’s things to the tune of the Beach Boys’ “In My Room”), and you immediately begin writing the eulogy upon meeting the family’s adorable new pet. “We Need To Talk About Kevin” is based upon Lionel Shriver’s award-winning novel, which is written as a series of letters from Eva to her husband. But the inarticulate script, adapted by Ramsay and Rory Kinnear, is unable to put us inside Eva’s head, and as a result her actions, along with her curious inaction, remain unclear.

Swinton isn’t enough to save the film, but as the only character sketched in shades of gray, she gives it her riveting all.

Her inherent aloofness works well here; we believe the travel writer would bristle at the thought of becoming a suburban mother, and we understand her need to detach from others in the aftermath. (Too bad, however, that Ramsay populated this particular suburb with grotesque caricatures rather than sentient humans.)

And Kevin is played by a trio of excellent

young actors, with Ezra Miller (Andy Garcia’s son in “City Island”) as teenage Kevin matching Swinton in both angular androgyny and the ability to react.

Miller is chilling, but, in this day and age, the fictional Kevins must be allowed complexity, because the nonfiction Kevins are all too real.

Those two-minute film previews try to

market their subject in the best possible light, which is how moviegoers typically get bamboozled into watching complete garbage. This makes the big-screen version of “21 Jump Street” something of an anomaly; the sucky trailer doesn’t begin to convey just how much fun this buddy-cop comedy is, even as it winkingly embraces every cliché in the book. And there’s something to be said for self-aware transparency; “All they do now is recycle shit from the past and expect us not to notice,” growls the deputy chief (Nick Offerman) as he assigns two screw-ups (Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum) to a revived program that puts undercover police in high schools.

The idea here is that Jenko (Tatum) and Schmidt (Hill) will assume their former roles of jock and nerd respectively, but an inadvertent switch forces Jenko to try and mesh with the science geeks while Schmidt cozies up to the cool kids to infiltrate their drug ring. And except for that kick-ass cameo, nothing particularly shocking happens; it’s mostly just quick-witted chemistry between Hill and Tatum, with the former helping to cook up the film’s story with screenwriter Michael Bacall, and the latter displaying some surprisingly deft comedic chops as he tries to comprehend the new high-school order. “21 Jump Street” is cast with ringers; Ellie Kemper (“Bridesmaids”) is hilarious as a teacher barely fighting an inappropriate attraction to Jenko, while Ice Cube plays a loud, nononsense police captain as NWA provides ironic counterpoint on the soundtrack.

AU HASARD BALTHAZAR Movies for movie lovers, 6 nights a week.

Happy April Fool’s Day!

Tuesday, April 3, 8 p.m.

One of the most structurally and conceptually daring of Robert Bresson’s films, Au Hasard Balthazar follows a donkey as it is loved, used, and abused by a chain of owners. Through the biography of this simple creature, Bresson exposes the basest human cruelties and locates grace in the unlikeliest places. An unforgettable experience, Balthazar was praised by Jean-Luc Godard as “the world in an hour and a half.” (Robert Bresson, France 1966, 95 min., French w/subtitles)

Lyell Ave., Ste. #201, Rochester, NY 14606. [ NOTICE ] COMBINED NOTICE OF FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT AND INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS March 28,2012 - Date of publication New York State Housing Trust Fund Corporation (HTFC) 38-40 State Street Albany, New York 12207 (518) 402-3379 This Notice shall satisfy the above-cited two separate but related procedural notification requirements.

REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS On or about April 13,2012, the New York State Housing Trust Fund Corporation (HTFC) will submit a request to the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the release of HOME funds under Title II of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act (NAHA) of 1990, in accordance with section 288 (42 U.S.C. 12838), to undertake a project known as Focus Investment Acquisition/Rehabilitation II, for purposes of the acquisition, substantial rehabilitation and resale to low/moderate income buyers of 10 vacant single family structures located in City of Rochester designated Focus Investment Strategy Areas or other special program areas designated by the City. Buyers must be first time with total household incomes at or below 80% Area Median Income (AMI) adjusted for household size. FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT HTFC has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required.

Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at The Urban League of Rochester Economic Development Corp. 312 State Street, Rochester NY 14608 and may be examined or copied weekdays 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to Barbara H. Wigzell, RA, Director, Environmental Analysis Unit, NYS Housing Trust Fund Corporation, 3840 State Street, Albany, New York, 12207. All comments received by April 12, 2012 will be considered by HTFC prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of

funds. Those wishing to comment should specify which part of this Notice they are addressing.

RELEASE OF FUNDS HTFC certifies to HUD that Ms. Barbara H. Wigzell, RA in her capacity as Certifying Officer consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities, and allows HTFC to use Program funds. OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HUD will consider objections to its release of funds and HTFC’s certification received by April 30, 2012 or for a period of fifteen days following its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of HTFC; (b) HTFC has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the project have committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds

by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality.

Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58) and shall be addressed to: Director of Community Planning and Development U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 26 Federal Plaza New York, New York 102780068 Potential objectors should contact HUD to verify the actual last day of the objection period.

[ rehabilitating mr. wiggles ] BY neil swaab

[ news of the weird ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD Back to the Fundamentals: The multicultural Macquarie University, in suburban Sydney, Australia, said its restroom posters, installed last year, have been successful in instilling toilet etiquette. The lined-through figure of a user squatting on top of a toilet seat was especially helpful, apparently.

Complaints of unsanitariness were such that some students were timing their classes to use restrooms in a nearby mall instead. (Lest anyone believe the problem is confined to multicultural institutions, a recent memo by the 785-member Lewis Brisbois law firm in San Francisco instructed employees to clean urine from toilet seats, to always take the farthest stalls or urinals available, to mask sounds by toilet-flushing (if desired), and to not make eye contact in the restroom. [Daily Telegraph (Sydney), 1-12-2012] [Above The Law blog, 2-1-2012]

factory setting that popped open the door locks automatically whenever the driver shifts into “Park.”

— When Rose Marks and her extended family of Romanian-Gypsy “psychics” were indicted last year for a 20-year-run of duping South Floridians out of as much as $40 million, victims of the clan were elated that justice might be at hand. (A typical scam, according to prosecutors, was to take a client’s cash, “to pray over it,” promising its return but somehow figuring out how to keep it.) However, in December, the Markses’ attorneys reported that “several” of the so-called victims had begun to work with them to help clear the family, including one who reportedly paid Rose over time $150,000. According to the lawyers, these “victims” call the Markses “friends,” “life coaches” and “confidants,” rather than swindlers.

Can’t Possibly Be True

Armed and Clumsy (all new!)

— Louis Helmburg III filed a lawsuit in Huntington, W.Va., in February against the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity and its member Travis Hughes for injuries Helmburg suffered in May 2011 when he fell off a deck at the fraternity house. He had been startled and fallen backward off the rail-less deck after Hughes attempted to fire a bottle rocket “out of his anus” -- and the rocket, instead, exploded in place. (The lawsuit does not refer to Hughes’ injuries.)

— U.S. Immigration agents in a $160,000 Chevy Suburban that had been customdesigned and -armored specifically to protect agents from roadside kidnappings became sitting ducks last year when kidnappers forced the vehicle off the road near San Luis Potosi, Mexico, and got the door open briefly, enabling them to fire 100 rounds and kill one of the two agents inside. According to a February Washington Post report, the Department of Homeland Security had failed to modify the vehicle’s

Men (almost never a woman) Who Accidentally Shot Themselves Recently: Lee Miars, 30, Myrtle Creek, Ore., while pointing a gun at his head to illustrate a story for friends (January). A 22-year-old Navy SEAL, San Diego, Calif., while pointing a gun at his head to convince friends it was unloaded (January). Riki Ingram, 18, Baker, La., shot his leg while “holstering” his gun to his pocket following a robbery (December). Ethan Bennett, 36, Monroe, Wash., aiming at a squirrel running up his leg, shot his foot (November). Special Deputy Ted Maze, Bedford, Ind., shot his hand while reloading at a training session (June). Kenneth Fortson, 21, Atlanta, was killed in a police chase following a home invasion (by, apparently, holding a gun as his pickup truck hit a tree and jarred his trigger finger) (October). Larry Godwin, 68, Redfield, Iowa, shot himself twice firing at a raccoon in a live trap (February).

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 31 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Charm, uniqueness and practicality will be a package you cannot resist. Someone you meet will mirror you. An unexpected attraction will catch you off guard.

Don’t rush — building a friendship first will be what makes any connection you make last.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Romantic opportunity is in the stars, but if you sit at home you won’t be able to take advantage of the possibilities. Getting involved in a group activity that is based on information will introduce you to someone who is interested in the same things you are.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll attract partners who cause emotional turmoil. Deception regarding the status of the person you are interested in is likely, even if you ask all the right questions. Spare your heart and avoid anyone who isn’t 100 percent available.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The more mysterious you are, the more attractive you will become to someone you meet while volunteering or working an event that has to do with politics, religion or saving the environment. Being proactive for the cause you choose will exalt your tenacity and courage.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You might end up with someone who isn’t really your type or good for you. Enjoying the company of many different people will help you discover what you really want and need in a companion. Don’t settle for less -- you deserve more.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are riding high when it comes to romance. Take control and make the first move. Your down-to-earth approach will capture the interest of someone who is looking for a partner just like you. Quality over quantity will be what leaves a lasting impression.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If someone is asking for too much, step back and reevaluate whether this is the right person to be with. Walk away from anyone putting pressure on you, causing unwarranted stress. Dating a variety of potential partners will lead to someone special.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): An important partnership is apparent. Let your imagination wander and your charm take over. A passionate, intriguing connection will become your focus and lead to an interesting, long-lasting relationship that offers equal opportunities as well

as greater emotional stabilization and security.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t put up with anyone who is too pushy. It’s important to keep looking if you are seeing someone who doesn’t share. Emotional deception is likely to develop due to a lack of compatibility. Equality should be your top priority when it comes to love.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Love can conquer all. You are riding high in the romance department. All you have to do is be receptive to someone who is into you, and you will develop a relationship that is solid, ben-

eficial and fits into your plans for the future.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your tendency to pick the wrong person will lead to trouble. Play the game of love for now. Keep dating different people until you find the perfect fit. For now, love is a learning experience that can be fun if you have the right attitude.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Comparing a past relationship to a current one will help you come to a personal decision that will determine your future. A commitment can be made once you realize with whom it is you really want to spend the rest of your life.
