As we read about the problems facing the Rochester Anti-Poverty Task Force, we know that poverty, educational opportunities, and achievement are intertwined.

The RCSD is represented on the task force at the same time its proposed 2015-2016 budget seeks reductions in English as a second language for refugeeimmigrant adults, TASC, and job-training services. (Note: A district spokesperson says that state funding cuts are a factor, too.)

Do we really want the school district represented on the AntiPoverty Task Force? It’s the Board of Education’s responsibility to prevent the kind of administrative shortsightedness that has led us into the wilderness we are in now.

We need to build an educational system and population for our future. These district programs deserve the support they’ve earned.

The Board of Education has a moral imperative to vote no to the budget and, perhaps, to ask that Superintendent Vargas and CFO William Ansbrow step down.

President Hillary Clinton?

Hillary Clinton may be far from the ideal Democratic candidate.

However, if Hillary becomes the Democratic nominee, there is much that can be done to shape her candidacy.

It is not too soon to contact Hillary’s campaign and let her know that without specific stands on specific issues, you will not cast a vote for her. For me, a candidate must support GMO labeling, a ban on fracking, an all-out effort to replace fossil fuels with wind and solar, American jobs over free-trade agreements, diplomacy over war, single-payer health care, equal rights for all, and an end to corporate 2 CITY

welfare. The candidate must also uplift the middle class.

Then you have to follow through. If Hillary is not the candidate you want to support, then do not vote for her. Voting for second best or the lesser of two evils sends a signal to candidates that they do not need to aspire to be the best. Withholding your vote from a major party candidate and casting it for a third-party candidate that matches your ideals is the best use of your vote. And it sends a strong message to the main party candidates that they actually need to represent people, not big-money interests.

TOM JANOWSKI

Ugh! In a country of 320 million can’t we find anyone else besides the same old, same old? The office of president is not hereditary or dynastic. We don’t need any more Clinton administrations, or Bush administrations for that matter.

The office is not an entitlement, either, so it’s not Hillary’s TURN to be president, as she and the Democrats seem to think.

Whoever coined the term “Clinton fatigue” got it right. Won’t they ever go away? The Clintons are of highly questionable ethics and character, in my opinion. Hillary will continue where the disastrous Obama administration leaves off: taking the country down the wrong path. We are overdue for some course-correction and Hillary is not the one for the job!

Invest in Genesee River corridor

Now that the money has been approved for the Upstate Revitalization Fund competition may I offer this suggestion: submit a proposal that directs spending a $500 million award on the Genesee River corridor from Brooks Landing to the Smith Street bridge.

Cities that have fully developed their downtown river corridors have realized huge sustainable economic returns on their investments. A visit to Milwaukee, Providence, Grand Rapids, St. Paul, Columbus, Chattanooga, Chicago, or San Antonio will prove this point.

The Genesee River corridor downtown and in adjacent neighborhoods is sadly

underdeveloped. Many river plans and projects have been unveiled over the years but most have been shelved, primarily due to the lack of funds or the will to act. Here is how $500 million might be used to wake this sleeping giant and position Rochester out front in the competition with its rivals.

A public-private river planningdevelopment corporation would be formed and a river “Vision Plan” created bringing together community-driven and private proposals to lead the development strategy. Complete cleanup of the several brownfield sites along the river’s edge. Build the required segments necessary for an uninterrupted pedestrian walkway around the river downtown with strong connections to High Falls and Corn Hill.

Fully develop the historic Erie Canal aqueduct and surrounding urban fabric following the design scheme proposed by Cooper Cary in 2007. Rebuild Genesee Crossroads Park into a vibrant community gathering place. Operate a downtown circulator connecting sites along the river with downtown neighborhoods and Main Street.

Finish creating a definitive High Falls District plan which would include saving and repurposing Beebee Station.

Create an effective method for public access to the river gorge floor and falls. Develop a fountain-water attraction along the river’s edge.

Identify and prepare development sites along the river.

Proposals for the Upstate Revitalization Fund competition need to demonstrate catalytic power to prompt large infusions of investment dollars from the private (and public) sectors. They also need to create good, longlasting jobs; adhere to smart growth and sustainability principles; have vigorous tourism activity potential; be magnetic and transformative for the region; be inclusive for all; and be effective in reducing poverty in this community.

With this proposal, all of these goals would be satisfied to the greatest extent possible. The City of Rochester is the civic and economic heart of the Finger Lakes region — making it a strong vibrant place lifts up the fortunes and health for the entire region.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

More and more theaters Rochester has a new performing arts space on East Avenue: a breathtakingly beautiful, acoustically wonderful place named the Lyric Theatre. And it provides something several studies say Rochester lacks: a mid-sized theater for performances needing a smaller venue than the Eastman or the Auditorium.

The odds for its success, then, seem pretty good.

The Lyric occupies the former First Church of Christ, Scientist, building, bought earlier this month by Rochester Lyric Opera. It’s a preservation success story as well as an arts story, and the community owes the church’s small congregation a huge thank-you for preserving this significant structure.

So this is a very positive development, in many ways. But it raises a big question: How many performing arts venues can Rochester support?

We’re about to find out.

In addition to the Lyric, the push continues for a new venue for the Rochester Broadway Theatre League. City and county government are on board, and City Hall is now reviewing proposals to study which location would be best for it: the Midtown site or farther west on Main, between North Clinton and St. Paul. It would likely need state funding, though, and that’s not guaranteed.

As multi-use performance spaces, the Lyric and an RBTL theater would join the Eastman Theatre and its smaller siblings, Kilbourn and Hatch Halls; the Nazareth Arts Center; the Auditorium Theatre; the Main Street Armory; RAPA; Hochstein; MuCCC, and several churches and schools that host outside events. And that doesn’t count Geva, Downstairs Cabaret, Blackfriars, and the Jewish Community Center’s CenterStage, which have their own performance spaces.

Is that too many?

The new Lyric is already being put to use.

Lyric Opera is holding several events there this spring, summer, and fall, and it’ll be a venue for this year’s Jazz and Fringe Festivals.

Representatives of the Rochester Philharmonic and the Eastman School have applauded the new theater, and both hold performances that might very well use a hall this size.

A big plus: Lyric Opera owns the building, but the Jazz Festival’s Mark Iacona and John Nugent will manage it, and after renovations, they’ll be in charge of booking a variety of performances. As they’ve proved over the past 14 years, they know what they’re doing.

Then there’s the proposed theater for RBTL acts. RBTL doesn’t want to own the theater, says board chair Arnie Rothschild, or operate it. The hope is that given RBTL’s big audience draw, thepopularity of

Building or renovating performing arts venues is just the first step.

To keep them going takes big endowments, ticket sales, fundraising. touring Broadway shows, and the potential for a variety of additional bookings, a new theater will be considered a good public investment and an entity like a public benefit corporation will build and operate it.

Rochester could end up with a lot of theaters, then. That could be terrific, for our own quality of life and for attracting businesses and residents who want a lively, arts-oriented city. But it costs money to operate theaters. Building or renovating is just the first step. To keep them going takes big endowments, ticket sales, and continual fundraising, from big donors and small.

Rothschild points to a 2010 study that says a new performing arts facility for Broadway roadshows and similar events can operate without a deficit. That study assumes that the new theater would have nearly double the performances that the Auditorium Theatre has, but Rothschild insists that there’ll be no deficit. The folks involved with the Lyric were optimistic about its stability when they announced its creation, too.

Still, Rochester will have a lot of arts groups and venues competing for support: for audience and for funding. And as I noted recently, according to the latest ACT Rochester report, state funding for the arts in this region dropped by almost 60 percent from 2001 to 2013. Kodak was once a huge arts supporter.

Even without the Kodak of the past, though, this is a relatively wealthy community. And many of us are passionate about the arts – all kinds of arts. Are there enough of us?

Warren demands transit center fix

Citing ongoing violence in and around the downtown transit center, Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren said that students should no longer be bused through the center. Warren demanded that Rochester schools Superintendent Bolgen Vargas and RTS CEO William Carpenter get a handle on the problem, no matter the cost. The most effective solution, she said, is to stop transferring students through downtown.

Shelter search goes on

The homeless had to leave the shelter that saw them through winter: a heated warehouse donated by Buckingham Properties.

The deal was that they had to be out by April 15.

Social workers and case managers made regular visits to the warehouse, dubbed Sanctuary Village, and about 30 people have been moved into apartments or inpatient treatment. The search for a permanent shelter reportedly continues.

Ginna agreement hits snag

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved part of a proposed agreement between Rochester Gas and Electric and the Ginna nuclear plant, but rejected the payment plan it included. The commission says that Ginna didn’t submit enough evidence to justify the rates, and it ordered RG&E and Ginna to go through a settlement process. Ginna’s owner sought a support contract with RG&E because it has been losing money.

Another investigation?

The New York Times reported that federal prosecutors are presenting evidence against Senate Republican leader Dean Skelos and his son, Adam, to a grand jury. The probe is said to center around Adam Skelos’s business dealings, specifically his employment by a company that landed a contract with Nassau County.

Talks may decide Vargas’s future It’s been more than a month since Rochester schools Superintendent Bolgen Vargas filed a notice of claim against the Rochester school board — a precursor to potential litigation.

Though both sides are talking, it’s still unclear whether Vargas and the board will recover from this dispute, or if Vargas will even fulfill his contract with the school district, which expires in June 2016.

“We haven’t reached a resolution, but we are talking," says Vargas’s attorney, Steve Modica. The resolution would have to be amicable to both sides, he says.

“What that would look like, whether he would stay, whether he’d go — or anything in between — none of that has been decided,” Modica says.

Vargas filed the notice of claim in early March after the board passed legislation which board members say is intended to bring the superintendent’s authority into compliance with state education law. Over the years and after a succession of superintendents, that authority ballooned, they say.

The legislation also sought clarification over who can be in the Superintendent’s Employee Group.

The nonunion, senior-level manage-

ment team has about 31 members who report to the superintendent.

Vargas responded by threatening to sue the board, alleging that his contract has been violated, and that it’s the board that is out of step with state law.

Some board members say that they don’t want Vargas to leave before his contract expires, and especially before the 2015-2016 budget is finalized. And they say that they still hold out hope that the situation can be resolved, although that won’t be easy.

“He staked a claim that is very difficult to back away from,” says longtime board member Willa Powell.

“We took a very researched position.

The superintendent’s pushback on that presupposed that we didn’t know what we were talking about.”

But Powell says that she doesn’t want to go through another superintendent search. The situation is a bit like a family squabble, she says, where emotions run high and feelings get hurt.

“All of us can get over that, as long as he recognizes the board’s authority,” she says.

But that authority — specifically, the roles of the board and superintendent — often become more about adults’ issues rather than concern for children, says Rob Brown, an attorney and former member of the city school board. He says that the board is trying to aggrandize its role.

“The board’s interfering in the SEG is not helping the children,” Brown says. Though Vargas declined to comment on the status of his notice of claim, his attorney says that no deadlines have passed for taking legal action, and that a suit isn’t off the table.

Reconverting Probert into a two-way street would also prevent drivers from cutting through the Wegmans lot to get from East to University or vice versa, says Wegmans spokesperson Jo Natale. Wegmans has done traffic studies on the lot and found that hundreds of drivers use it as a cut-through.

NEIGHBORHOODS | BY JEREMY MOULE

Wegmans seeks fix for East Ave. lot At its peak hours, the East Avenue Wegmans can be a frustrating place. But it’s a popular urban grocery store, so a little inconvenience is understandable.

But the parking lot is beyond frustrating, and the target of many customer complaints, says Dan Aken, Wegmans’ manager of site development. There’s an element of disorder in the lot as cars and people routinely get in each other’s way. The biggest trouble spots seem to be the East Avenue and University Avenue exits, where vehicles bunch up on the main road and in side lanes.

Wegmans officials have a proposal that they say will relieve at least some of the congestion. They want the city to convert Probert Street, a one-way between East and University, back into a two-way street. And they want a driveway from the parking lot onto Probert.

“We’re basically looking for a relief valve,” Aken says.

The changes need city approvals, however, including authorization from City Council. At 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 22, the city and Wegmans will hold a public information meeting on the company’s proposal. It’ll be held at the East Avenue store, in the conference room near the Market Café.

Wegmans has tried to improve the lot.

It worked with the county to get longer green lights at the exits, Aken says. It’s also reviewing a potential change to the store-side median at the University Avenue entrance. Extending that median could better funnel traffic into the lot, Aken says, and eliminate some congestion-causing conflicts. A similar approach is used on the lot’s East Avenue side.

The Probert Street plan would reduce congestion in two ways, Aken says. It’d provide drivers parked on the lot’s west side with an alternate exit, he says, resulting in fewer cars queuing up at the East and University exits.

Reconverting Probert into a two-way street would also prevent drivers from cutting through the Wegmans lot to get from East to University or vice versa, says Wegmans spokesperson Jo Natale. Wegmans has done traffic studies on the lot, Aken says, and found that hundreds of drivers use it as a cut-through.

president. And an additional exit would mean another conflict point between cars and pedestrians, as well as cars and cyclists, he says.

But the group also wants to make sure that Probert Street keeps its bike lanes, Governale says, since cyclists use them to get from East to University and vice versa.

City staff members have indicated that they’d support the Wegmans plan if the bike lanes are retained, Aken says. But he cautions that keeping both bike lanes, and converting Probert to a two-way street would mean eliminating the on-street parking on Probert.

Thanks-a-yacht Senator Rich Funke wants to sink the state’s sales tax break on yachts.

Thanks to the 2015-16 state budget, anyone who buys a yacht or private plane would only pay sales tax on the first $230,000 of the price. Proponents say that the measure will help create jobs.

“I’ve got a tough time swallowing that, to be honest with you,” Funke, a Republican, said during a press conference Monday morning.

Funke has submitted legislation to repeal the tax break. He voted in favor of the 2015-16 budget despite his opposition to the tax break, he said, because it contains critical funding for Monroe County and Ontario County communities.

And the budget does some other good things, too, he said, such as ease the tax burden, and it provides support for young farmers.

Funke said that it doesn’t appear that Governor Andrew Cuomo will veto the tax break, which he’s called on Cuomo to do.

The repeal legislation isn’t about attacking people who have been successful in business, Funke said. Those are people he said he wants to work with to grow jobs and business in New York.

“This is about fairness,” he said.

“This is about common sense.”

EDUCATION | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

Atheists fight Christian afterschool club The most dangerous thing at this afterschool meeting of the Good News Club at Chestnut Ridge Elementary School in the ChurchvilleChili school district appears to be the game of blindfolded dodgeball in the gym.

But members of another local group, the Young Skeptics, will tell you that Good News is dangerous and should not be allowed to hold its meetings in a school building. And they’ve been speaking with Churchville-Chili schools Superintendent Lori Orologio to press their point. (Orologio declined a request for an interview. The club merely uses a school building, she says, and is not sponsored by the school.)

The Good News Club is a ministry of the Child Evangelism Fellowship. Club members meet with groups of children in various settings, including schools, for Bible lessons. According to CEF’s website, the meetings include songs, memorization of Scripture, games, and other activities.

“The purpose of the Good News Club is to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and establish (disciple) them in the Word of God and in a local church for Christian living,” the website says.

But Kevin Davis, a Churchville resident, says that the club indoctrinates children who are too young to understand what’s happening. The club tears down children’s self-esteem by telling them that they are sinners who deserve death, Davis says, and then sells the children on the club’s brand of Christianity.

Katherine Stewart, who has written a book critical of the Good News Club, calls it “faith-based bullying.”

“It’s very, very sin focused,” Davis says. “It’s first telling them, ‘There’s something wrong with you, inherently.’

And then selling you, ‘Hey, by the way, I’ve got the cure. You can have it for free, but you have to do what I say.’”

Davis helped form the Young Skeptics Club in the Churchville-Chili district to counter the teachings of the Good News Club.

“Our focus is not proselytizing or telling kids what to think,” he says. “It’s trying to help them learn how to think.

Our focus is on critical thinking, problem solving, giving them a safe space to ask questions about what they’re learning.”

But Moises Esteves, vice president of Child Evangelism Fellowship’s USA Ministries, says that the Good News Club’s message is positive — that God loves them — and that schools are 6 CITY

APRIL 22-28, 2015

happy to have the clubs.

“If the accusations were true, then the clubs should be disappearing,” he says.

“The opposite is true. Over the last 12-13 years, attendance has grown steadily. The reason it grows is because the kids love the club and love the message of the club.”

The Child Evangelism Fellowship has two Good News clubs in the Churchville-Chili school district. The second is at Fairbanks Road Elementary School.

Approximately 215,000 children participate in Good News clubs in the US, Esteves says, and there are more than 62,000 clubs worldwide.

The Good News Club is able to meet in schools thanks to the outcome of a 2001 Supreme Court case, Good News Club vs.

Milford Central School in Milford, New York. In a 6-3 ruling, the court said that barring the Good News Club violates the club’s First Amendment rights.

But court ruling aside, Davis says that the club’s teachings violate the Churchville-Chili school district’s Code of Conduct, which says that every student has a right to a school environment free of harassment and bullying.

Davis’ own spiritual journey is interesting. He was raised Catholic and attended Catholic school through eighth grade. He became a born-again Christian in college for a short time, and now considers himself an atheist. He learned about the Good News Club through a Rochester-based atheist group.

“We don’t fundamentally have an issue with religious instruction,” he says.

“I feel that there are plenty of lessons in the Bible that are good for teaching morality, for teaching compassion, and molding the way a child looks at the world and teaching them empathy. It’s the tearing down of a child’s self-esteem to rebuild it the way you want it to be

built that we have a problem with.”

Seven-year-old children are not equipped to make a major life decision, he says, such as whether to become Christians. And children do not differentiate between what is taught in a school building by a teacher, he says, and what is taught in the same building by a leader of the Good News Club.

And teaching a literalist view of the Bible is also teaching, for example, that creationism is fact, Davis says.

Esteves says that the club does indeed teach creationism and that he doesn’t apologize for it.

“The Bible teaches it, and that’s who we are,” he says. “We’re a ministry that teaches the Bible.”

He knows that elementary school children are ready to commit to Christianity, he says, because he did it when he was 9. But if they’re not ready, Esteves says, the club doesn’t force them.

“All the decisions are always between the child and God,” he says. “We don’t do any kind of coercing or manipulation.

That would completely defeat the purpose of people desiring to follow Jesus out of their own initiative.”

Parents have to give permission for their children to attend the club’s meetings, Esteves says, so there’s nothing sneaky or subversive going on.

And that’s the key point, says Dr. Eric Caine, chair of the University of Rochester Medical Center’s Department of Psychiatry. American society has always let parents decide how, where, and when their children receive religious education until the children are of age, he says. And the Good News Club essentially sounds like an extension of Sunday school, he says.

“I always worry about anything that’s judgmental about people’s behavior at a time when kids are too young to judge,” Caine says. “But that’s a general worry, not specific to religion or anything else.”

The bottom line, Esteves says, is that atheists want to shut the club down because they oppose Christianity.

“We desire to share the love of God and tell about Jesus to the boys and girls all over the country,” he says. “The United States Supreme Court said, ‘Yup, you can do that in the public schools.’ So we continue to do it. The opposition, I’m sure, will continue, as well.”

Love at first sight [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY

When Alessio Troiano, a native of Italy’s Abruzzo region, first visited his girlfriend in Rochester, he fell in love with the region’s summer. (I didn’t ask him about the Rochester winter). “I loved it so much that the next time I came, I made my father come with me,” Troiano says. On that visit with his father, Troiano noticed that a restaurant space was available in Henrietta and decided to pack up his home, convince his family to move to Rochester with him, and open Mamma G’s Ristorante Italiano (2133 East Henrietta Road).

The Troiano family owned a restaurant in Pescara, Italy, and many of the recipes from that restaurant are available on Mamma G’s menu.

“Mamma G” is Gilda, Troiano’s mother, who you can find in the kitchen helping out her son, Pierfrancesco, the chef at Mamma G’s. Troiano’s father, Carlo, and twin brothers, Marco and Dario, also help out.

The more traditional recipes from the Abruzzo region include the Timballo Abruzzese ($12), a lasagna dish made with crêpes, parmesan, mozzarella, ground beef, and homemade tomato sauce. Using layers of crêpe makes the dish lighter and more digestible, Troiano says. The Chitarra Teramana ($12) comes from the city of

Teramo. The dish is comprised of homemade egg spaghetti, tomato sauce, and small meatballs. The traditional dessert of the region, Parrozzo D’Annunziano ($5), is an almond cake coated with dark chocolate and served with a citrus English sauce.

For those that like to try a little bit of everything, the Tour of Italy appetizer ($13) includes Involtino Tirolese (breaded eggplant rolls with ham and provolone); Garbanzo and Ricotta Cannoli (cannoli stuffed with garbanzo beans, ricotta, and a nutmeg ganache cream sauce); Pallotte Cacio and Uova (egg and parmesan cheese balls served with tomato sauce); and Formaggio Alla Griglia (grilled fresh cheese served with arugula and cherry tomatoes).

Everything is made from scratch at Mamma G’s — from the sauce to the pasta and the bread, which is baked daily by Pierfrancesco. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner and all menu items are available for dine-in or take-out.

Mamma G’s is currently working on procuring a liquor license.

Mamma G’s Ristorante Italiano is located at 2133 East Henrietta Road, and is open Tuesday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Friday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. 359-0990. Visit its Facebook page at facebook.com/mammagsristorante for more information.

FuturPointe Dance finds levity through its reggae ballet [ DANCE FEATURE ] BY CASEY CARLSEN

During the 2014 Rochester Fringe Festival, FuturPointe, a Rochester-based dance company co-founded by Guy Thorne and N’Jelle Gage, presented “Unbridled” with photographer Carrie Mateosian. While the audience crowded up close at the outside venue downtown, company members Liam Knighten and Melinda Phillips each had a turn at being photographed by Mateosian while they were being transformed into other worldly, near-naked creatures covered with body cream and colored sands. The dancers moved in sensual slowness amid the flashes of the camera in the evening darkness.

Meanwhile, the images of the dancers were projected in real time on a large screen while Thorne acted as guide of sorts, talking the audience through the event while music rang out and the audience craned excitedly toward the action. The performance was sexy, ritualistic, and full of swagger.

“We like multi-layered experiences,” Gage said. “It makes for a richer soup.”

Self-dubbed a reggae ballet company, FuturPointe has made a name for itself in the six years it’s been in existence, due to a desire to reach new audiences through often intriguing collaborations. The company has created performances in conjunction with chefs, photographers, visual artists, musicians, fashionistas, and puppeteers.

The company recently returned from performing in the Cayman Islands, and it is expected in Leicester, England, next month.

What drives FuturPointe’s success? Yes, the company boasts accomplished dancers with masterful technical skills and beautiful artistry.

And yes, the choreography is unique and emotionally-affecting. But its success, too, lies in the unconventional ways in which it connects with its audiences, and its ability to continually draw in new fans. It reaches out through avant-garde collaborations, appealing video components, social media, and an uncanny ability to kinesthetically radiate joie de vivre. The dancers reach out and they connect. Again and again.

This could be seen from the beginning. One of the company’s first performances was inside Restaurant Good Luck where, on the first day of summer 2010, FuturPointe unveiled new work while diners sampled a variety of wines and chocolates. The company worked closely with Chef Dan Martello and paired the mood of each dance segment with a complementing wine and chocolate, creating a multi-leveled sensory experience. On the first day of that fall, FuturPointe created another evening of carefully choreographed food, drink, and dance at the restaurant.

“We reach for the elevation of mood and spirit that comes from our art,” Gage says.

“We strive for that connection, that vicarious experience. We are the larger version of yourself.”

“We want to be accessible to people, but not watered down,” Thorne adds. “You believe in people. You give them more. They give you more back. People are dying to be opened up.”

where he introduced them to Junkanoo, a West African and Caribbean performance art that combines dancing with singing, drumming, and costume-making. Thorne then took his program to local public libraries and also incorporated it as an interactive feature into their Rochester City School District performances.

Gage, FuturPointe’s executive director, studied ballet under various accomplished instructors from an early age and began dancing professionally in her native Jamaica at just 15 with the modern dance company L’Acadco, led

by L’Antoinette Stines.

FuturPointe has gained strong local support,

including from Garth Fagan, the founder, artistic director, and choreographer of acclaimed Garth Fagan Dance.

“Guy is choreographing for his generation,” Fagan says. “His use of shorter dance phrases, his use of video components in performance — he’s in the moment. He’s doing wonderful stuff, and as he progresses, even greater things will come to the fore.”

Thorne and Gage, who married last spring, have been part of one another’s lives and work for more than 20 years now. They both began dancing in their native Jamaica at an early age and reconnected in the United States.

There is a literal meaning to the company’s name. Gage, who calls herself a futurist, refers to a desired collective future for humanity, a time and place she strives toward through creating. The couple adheres to the Rastafarian

philosophy of “livity,” or living a cohesive and holistic lifestyle. Gage and Thorne consider their dance work holistic theater and speak about layering it with positive messages for uplifting consciousness, shifting intellectual perceptions, and honoring the body as a potent spiritual vehicle of self-expression. Shared rituals, love for others, and a holistic worldview are all elements of their philosophy that come to play in their choreography and performances.

“There is a strong spiritual element to their work — their love for each other, their appreciation,” says Sarah Gullo-Andreacchi, assistant dean to students and co-chair of the dance department at Hochstein School of Music and Dance, where FuturPointe is currently in residency, teaching classes, and planning a June performance.

“And there is a sense of openness in their

teaching. They want to see who you are as a person and let you find what this movement is all about for you. They let you find your own cool. They themselves have a huge sense of personal style — their reggae swagger.”

Thorne, FuturPointe’s artistic director, came to the United States from Jamaica as a scholarship student with the Dance Theatre of Harlem, and later spent seven years as a principal dancer with Garth Fagan Dance. He holds his BFA in Dance from SUNY Brockport and served on the dance faculty at SUNY Potsdam.

In 2012, Thorne was awarded a Jubilation Foundation Grant — “a grant given to individuals and organizations with an exceptional talent for making young people feel fully alive through rhythm,” according to the foundation’s website — for his work with the children at Cobblestone School in Rochester

co-director, principal dancer, and a founding member), all choreograph for the company.

Having several choreographers is another of the group’s strengths, adding diversity of style and tone to its repertoire. The company fuses traditional and modern Caribbean dance forms but relies on the vocabulary of classical ballet and Latin dance to structure its work.

FuturPointe began with a core of five dancers. That number has since doubled. Along with Thorne, Gage, and Roffe, the company includes founding members Liam Knighten and Melinda Phillips, and newer members Kathryn Bowering and Brittany Lang. Lillie Pincus, Elizabeth Fleche, and Renee Sobers are junior company members.

Roffe has worked closely with Thorne and Gage from the beginning. She is trained in both classical ballet and modern dance but is also a master of various other forms including Argentine tango. Roffe was a member of Garth Fagan Dance for a year and has performed frequently with Bill Evans Dance (a contemporary and tap company). Since 2012, she has been Assistant Professor of Theatre in Dance at Nazareth College where, last year, she began MAD (Movement and Dance) Weekend, an annual dance festival featuring workshops, master classes, and performance.

Roffe is adamant about giving audiences enjoyable dance experiences.

“This strange disconnect exists between art and entertainment,” Roffe says. “Why can’t you have both? FuturPointe has always been interested in bridging that gap.”

And entertain they do. FuturPointe’s performances are high voltage, awe-inspiring, playful and just plain fun. Thorne is a born communicator and comedian and usually addresses the audience before performances — making them laugh, offering insight, even encouraging them to take pictures to post on Twitter or Facebook. He is also adept at using video media; performances often feature his projections and dance films. Using video components is one way the group seeks to give people who may not be used to experiencing dance something familiar to grab onto.

“People are very familiar with seeing things on a screen,” Roffe says. “They are used to that kind of sensory input. So we use that as a window of opportunity to give them a new experience.” rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 11

The family that plays together, stays together … or at least stays warm. Drummer and producer to the stars Jesse Sprinkle bundled up the wife and kids and piled them into the studio to commiserate and even celebrate this region’s unrelenting winter. The resulting record, “The Winter Blue,” isn’t nearly as stir-crazy and bittersweet as you might think. It sounds like pop-punk meets family winter fun without sleds or the TV. Sprinkle is a hard rockin’ cat with a thoughtful streak that shines throughout everything he touches from working with The Tommy Brunett Band and his past work with Dead Poetic, to teaching orphans music in Africa. He is a beautiful man and this is a beautiful record that puts a pretty spin on some ugly, ugly months. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

“Love is a Pendulum” Motéma Music joelocke.com

When I heard that hard-driving vibraphonist Joe Locke’s new album, “Love is a Pendulum,” was based on a poem of the same name by Barbara Sfraga, I was a bit skeptical. Then I read the poem. It’s a beautiful work, dealing with the elusiveness of love, and it has inspired a great CD. In an album that transcends the jazz genre, Locke does what classical composers have done for centuries: he explores one of the great issues of life in purely musical terms.

In “Love is a Planchette” Locke perfectly evokes the floating quality of a planchette moving across a Ouija board. On this track, he is magnificently supported by vocalist Theo Bleckmann and his gorgeous ethereal harmonies.

Several minutes into the tune, “Love is Perpetual Motion” moves into a time signature (9/4) that nicely evokes the title. The tune is also propelled by Locke’s vibraphone dueling with the ringing tones of Victor Provost’s steel pan.

That’s just a small sample — all nine of the tracks are excellent.

Locke is at the top of his game throughout as are the members of his quartet: Terreon Gully, drums; Robert Rodriguez, piano, and Ricky Rodriguez, bass. In addition to Bleckmann and Provost, other superb guests include Rosario Giuliani and Donny McCaslin on sax and Paul Bollenback on guitar.

Bassist Ron Carter will be inducted into the Rochester Music Hall of Fame on Sunday, April 26. The musician attended the Eastman School of Music in the mid-1950's. PHOTO PROVIDED

Most valuable player Rochester Music Hall of Fame FOURTH ANNUAL INDUCTION CEREMONY SUNDAY, APRIL 26 KODAK HALL, EASTMAN THEATRE, 60 GIBBS STREET 7 P.M. | $35-$65 | ROCHESTERMUSIC.ORG; RONCARTER.NET [ PROFILE ] BY RON NETSKY

Over his six-decade career, bassist Ron Carter has been part of some of the greatest bands in jazz history. He’s played with Miles Davis, Stan Getz, Eric Dolphy, Coleman Hawkins, Sonny Rollins, Wayne Shorter, Bill Evans, and many more.

He has received just about every honor awarded in his field. But when he is inducted into the Rochester Music Hall of Fame Sunday, it will be a special occasion.

“This is where I began my musical education,” Carter says. “This is where I learned the rules of the game. I learned how to practice, I learned how to be a teacher, I learned what friendship is, and I learned how to avoid certain situations I never experienced 14 CITY APRIL 22-28, 2015

before. It was an important time in my life. I met my wife up there.”

Carter came to Rochester from Ferndale, Michigan, to attend the Eastman School of Music in the mid-1950’s.

“I went away to school and I missed my family terribly,” Carter says. “I was basically on my own. When I arrived I started to look for a part-time job because the scholarship didn’t cover all the bills.”

It didn’t take long to find gigs. Carter joined the house band at the Ridgecrest Inn, a club that was on the itinerary of jazz bands doing east coast tours. There he met Sonny Stitt, the Horace Silver group with Art Farmer and Clifford Jordan, Dizzy Gillespie’s band with Sam Jones, and Carmen McRae’s band with Ike Isaacs.

“I got a chance to meet and hear a lot of people play the music so it was quite a free education for me,” Carter says.

On the local scene, Carter became friends with two other future hall-of-famers, Chuck and Gap Mangione.

“Chuck’s parents were instrumental in a lot of musicians eating in Rochester,” Carter says.

“They had a grocery store and they were free and liberal and available and loving and they

made sure that they adopted all these guys who were going to school and were playing jazz and hadn’t had a meal in over 20 minutes.

“We were fed well and their home was open to us with all the love that parents have for their kids. They were great friends with Dizzy Gillespie. That’s how I met Dizzy on a personal level because he was over there eating dinner all the time.”

Gap Mangione (another one of the 2015 inductees) was active in the Syracuse Jazz Society when he attended Syracuse University in the late 1950’s. “I went to play concert with him in Syracuse and that’s where I met my soon-to-be wife,” Carter says.

Like a lot of cities in the late 1950’s,

Rochester had its share of racial problems.

Carter was no stranger to prejudice.

“I was 18 or 19 and came from Detroit where the lines were pretty blatantly drawn,” Carter says. “They were also drawn in Rochester but not with such heavy ink. And spending so much time with the Mangiones, who didn’t understand what the line was all about — I was one of their kids — I didn’t have those kinds of immediate confrontational attitudes toward me. But it was clear even as

a 19 year old, when you see the lines drawn, you’re pretty aware of them.”

One time, driving back to Rochester from New York City with “Pee Wee” Ellis, Carter was pulled over on the Thruway by a trooper who thought they were hauling drugs.

“They took off the hubcaps and emptied out the trunk of my 1950 Ford. I was late for my rehearsal with the philharmonic orchestra at school.” He had to hire a lawyer to get the charges dropped.

After graduating in 1959 Carter moved to New York City. One week later he left for a six-month tour with Chico Hamilton and he’s hardly slowed down since. The Hamilton gig was followed by stints with Bobby Timmons, Herbie Mann, Betty Carter, Kenny Burrell, Art Farmer, and Jim Hall.

Then he joined one of the greatest groups in jazz history, the Miles Davis Quintet (from 1963 to1968).

In fact, he’s played with just about every significant jazz great that he’s wanted to, except one: pianist Ahmad Jamal.

“He’s still on my list, man,” says Carter.

“I keep telling him, ‘I’m going to make a call one day and tell your bass player to go watch CNN.’” If they record together, that would add another album to one of the most astonishing oeuvres in music history. It’s estimated that Carter has appeared on well over 2,000 albums, among them some of the greatest ever recorded, including “Seven Steps to Heaven,” Miles Davis; “Red Clay,” Freddie Hubbard; “Maiden Voyage,” Herbie Hancock; “Speak No Evil,” Wayne Shorter; and “Killing Me Softly,” Roberta Flack.

Could he tell he was working on classics at the time?

“You can remember a shooting star but you can’t remember when it took place,” Carter says. “All you remember is there was an event you were part of. You don’t know when the record is going to be released, if it’s released at all. You don’t know how they’ll treat it.

“You kind of have a sense of an occasional shooting star on these record dates. Do I remember all of them as very special, earth-shaking and historical? I never had time to think about that because I was busy trying to do my job, which was to make this band feel like I belonged there, and that my contributions were what they would expect of me.”

The calls keep coming, now from a new generation of musicians.

“I treat these newer recording sessions as a chance to see if I’ve learned anything over these past 50 years that I couldn’t have added 50 years ago because I didn’t know it.”

tour with Navar, we got into watching a lot of movies. One was The Band’s “Last Waltz” and Scorsese’s “No Direction Home,” his documentary on Bob Dylan. I just fell in love with it.

16 CITY APRIL 22-28, 2015

It’s funny how a band can encapsulate a sound without actually playing that style verbatim or getting caught up in its dramatics, semantics, or identifying call. Take for instance Hume, New York’s Barry Brothers; formed in 2011, these boys play southern rock but they don’t.

They’re not from the South, they hail from the southern tier with a decent helping of American southern rock ethos in the overall sound. The band is what it ain’t. Whatever you wanna call it, it’s good, baby. Real good.

Not too long ago, The Barry Brothers — Patrick Barry, vocals and acoustic guitar; Bradford Barry, drums; Ben Barry, bass (whenever he’s in town); John Mast, lead guitar; and Jelly Yeomans, banjo — warmed the boards at Water Street Music Hall for Toronto roots rock heroes, The Sadies, another band that transcends its own classification. Whether caught by surprise or with budding admiration

and awe, the crowd howled after each tune the brothers laid out. There was big guitar but plenty of thoughtful interludes in the acoustic nature in which their music was born.

If you are quick to judge, it’s a rock band.

If you listen to the heartfelt sincerity and drive you’ll realize, as said before, The Barry Brothers is what it ain’t. And the band proves it with its new, sh*t-kickin’ release, “Stories from the Southern Tier,” on its own 100% Records. It’s riff-heavy and dirty with mucho attitude and shake appeal. The first track, “Broken Night Light,” will knock your head off on its own.

Patrick and Bradford Barry stopped by to give an update on the band, what they do, and what they don’t do. An edited transcript follows.

Did you guys grow up playing together?

Patrick Barry: No, not really. I mean I always

loved music but I didn’t get my first guitar until I graduated high school. I just decided to learn some songs and then write some songs.

Bradford Barry: The beauty for me, he picked it up when I was about 10 or 11 years old, so my memory growing up was him playing music.

And I’ve been going with it ever since.

What were you listening to then?

Patrick: Modern rock. It was the 90’s. I was

really into what was on the Nerve at the time.

— Weezer at the Harrow East Ballroom in ’97 — and it was like watching a hockey player or some Olympic athlete that had trained their whole life to be up there.

Then I picked up a guitar for the first time and looked at a tab and I was like “That’s all you do? I can do that.” So we just learned a bunch of those songs to see what gave it that soul, whether it’s how the words are put together or the melodies are put together, and — not through osmosis — just feel it. Now I find every song we write, there’s a piece of a song I just learned in there. Sometimes it’s really good and I’m like, “Sh*t, did I rip something off here?”

How do you, as Yankees, conjure such a rural sound?

Patrick: We’re not playing to anything or

anybody other than what we like to do. But our area is really rural; farming is a dying industry in our area. It’s one of the poorest regions in New York State. So when you live there you can see that that kind of life is hard on people and you gravitate to the blues and the heart of what southern rock is about. We live there and it has a very southern feel. It just doesn’t have the heat.

How do The Barry Brothers write?

Patrick: Our guitarist Johnny is the riff

factory. He loves Stevie Ray Vaughan, but he also loves bands like Tool and he’ll bring in all these big heavy riffs. Or I’ll have some ideas and we try to meet in the middle. If we headed in one direction, we’d be a heavy rock band. There’s a lot of power in those riffs and hooks, so we always work at it, specifically how do we push it back in and still tell a real story?

Perhaps by pulling in the reigns?

Patrick: Absolutely. We do.

With his 2012 album, “Gravity,” Lecrae became the first hip-hop artist to win a Grammy for Best Gospel Album. The album had debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, and Lecrae was catapulted into the mainstream consciousness. His seventh studio and latest album, “Anomaly,” debuted at No. 1 on both the Billboard 200 and the Top Gospel Albums chart. This is a conscious rapper who has found unprecedented acclaim in both Christian music and mainstream rap — but Lecrae doesn’t like to consider himself stuck on either side. “My music is not Christian — Lecrae is,” he said in an interview with The Atlantic last year.

Literature Fools = gold [ INTERVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Have Iceland’s philosophies of child behavioral studies changed?

The archetype of the fool is a complicated one, but we can learn a thing or two about the value of clowns from Shakespeare and rodeos.

And apparently, from Iceland. Jón Gnarr is an anarchist comedian, actor, and artist who served as mayor of Reykjavík, the capital of Iceland. His forearm tattoos — Reykjavík’s coat of arms and the logo of British anarchist punk band, Crass — reflect the paradox that he embodies. Notorious and beloved street artist, Banksy, gifted a painting to him. His fan club also includes Noam Chomsky and Lady Gaga.

Clearly, this is no ordinary mayor.

On Thursday, April 23, Open Letter Books will bring Gnarr to Rochester for a book signing of his work, “The Indian,” which was recently published in English. “The Indian” is part of a trilogy, followed by “The Pilot,” which will be published in English in early 2016, and a third book, which Gnarr is currently writing. For more information about Gnarr’s work and his visit to Rochester, check openletterbooks.org.

Through a series of anecdotes, “The Indian” — named for his youthful identification with the wild and unwanted Native Americans — is an intimate portrait of Gnarr’s difficult childhood. An unplanned child of older parents, the precocious young Gnarr was more than a handful for his exasperated folks. This was compounded by his dyslexia and other learning disabilities and resultant behavioral issues, which rendered him classified as “mentally retarded” by archaic standards in child psychology.

Through his innocent and searching voice, confusion and frustration are palpable, but it’s punctuated by moments of blissful silliness as he overcomes obstacles.

City Newspaper recently spoke with Gnarr about his writing, about being an anarchist in public office, the value of communication and empathy, and his interest in climate change. Following is an edited version of the conversation. For a longer version of this interview, visit rochestercitynewspaper.com.

In a way it is the same. People have a better understanding of the criteria of the disabilities that children are facing. There are names for it now, like ADHD, or Asperger’s, but I am surprised by how little it has changed. There are so many children who are in very similar circumstances as I was as a child, and of course professionals have an understanding that is sometimes completely different from families and parents.

What affected me most was that my parents, and especially my father, suspected that I was, he called it “retarded.” And many Comedian, actor, artist, writer, and former mayor of Reykjavík, people in the family also thought Iceland, Jón Gnarr will visit Rochester this week to sign copies of his book, “The Indian.” PHOTO PROVIDED so. For example with Asperger’s, people assume even today it’s just a fancy word for stupidity, reason that you would run for president? or laziness, and something that you should I don’t like the political culture. For me, it’s be able to fix with willpower. That has so false and so faith-based. If I was to go into encouraged me to write my book, to give office, it would have to be for some higher people an insight into the mind and the cause. It’s not for me. It was never for me. feelings of a child in these circumstances.

It was my duty to do something, but at the

City: Why did you decide to write this trilogy?

Jón Gnarr: I didn’t really want to do it. A

woman in Iceland approached me, she had heard me telling some of the stories on the radio, and she wanted me to write a book about them. I was honestly very reluctant to do it, but whenever I ran into her, she would mention the idea. And so I kind of promised her I would do it. It’s in a way a therapy for me to write it.

It’s very personal, it’s my past, and I’m forced to recall and remember things I’d rather not think about. So that’s been hard, but also beneficial.

Have your anarchist ideologies been affected by your time as mayor?

Yes, of course, they have been challenged. I have had to really look closely at my philosophy and it becomes a paradox to try and be an anarchist.

I described that in the next book, “The Pilot,” which is all more or less about class and anarchism. I realized very early on in my job as mayor that the “important” role of politics in municipalities is very overrated. It is there, but it’s not as important as people want it to be.

I’ve been asked, “Are you now a politician?” and, “How can you be an anarchist and a mayor?” I don’t consider myself to be a politician. It was a job. It’s more or less about making decisions based on common sense.

I also feel that the role of politics is very overrated in our society. It has many of the same qualities as an addiction, or a religion.

It’s become so faith-based. Political leaders are promise-givers who promise a better life in the next life. And the next life starts the minute they get elected. That’s when paradise comes.

But paradise never comes. Somehow it’s just part of the game. We all know they’re going to betray us, and we accept it, and we still go on, because we want to believe it.

Polls showed that more than a third of voters want you to be elected as the next president, but you’ve said you’re done. What would be a

same time I’m scared of it. I’m terrified of it. I try to hold my head up high, and be courageous, and step into something. For me, it was kind of like stepping into a party, turning down the music, communicating with intoxicated people, and asking them to leave. You don’t want to do it, but you feel a responsibility, somebody has to talk to them, and get them out, before they burn down a house. That was how I felt. And that was how I pictured the politicians at the time, as intoxicated people. And I think some of them were intoxicated.

You’re currently the first writer-in-residence at Rice University’s Center for Energy and Environmental Research in the Human Sciences, tasked with building a bridge between academia and the arts and media.

I have been, like so many other people, worried about climate change. What it is, and what we can do about it. How we can bring it into more public discussions and awareness.

Often, the first reaction to bad news is denial.

It’s a bit like going to the doctor for the results of your test, and he tells you, “You know, you have to quit smoking, quit drinking, and stop eating meat.” If these are the things you enjoy most in life, it can be pretty hard.

I feel a responsibility to be part of that dialog.

DANCE | ROCKIN’ THE TANGO — ROCKABILLY STYLE

If your dance moves are old-school, the 1950’s want you back for a night. Tango Cafe Dance Studio is hosting a “full-throttle rockabilly night” with Rockhouse Riot playing live music. The dance studio recently relocated to the Jonathan Child House, a Greek mansion built in 1837 for the first mayor of Rochester.

Tango has updated the house for dancing and instruction, with solid hardwood dance floors and a new sound system in the upstairs ballroom. If your feet speak the language of lindy-hop, jive, swing, or jitterbug, the night can be spent with like-minded nostalgics. Any one who comes dressed in 50’s attire will be entered in a raffle. A beginner swing dance lesson will start at 6 p.m., and Rockhouse Riot will play from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Tango Cafe Dance Studios is hosting “Rockin’ the Tango — Rockabilly Style” on Saturday, April 25, at 35 South Washington Street. 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. $10. tangocafedance.com.

THEATER | “RICHARD II”

What’s a Shakespeare play without a flawed monarch? The problems that lay heavy on the head of a British king are the raisons d’etre for four of Shakespeare’s greatest history plays: “Richard II,” the two parts of “Henry IV,” and “Henry V,” collectively known as the Henriad. The Shakespeare Players will perform the whole cycle this year, beginning with “Richard II,” which continues this weekend at MuCCC. This story of a king who loses his throne but gains insight into his soul will present some of Rochester’s most experienced Shakespearians, directed by Peter Scribner. Brad Craddock plays the title role and Jeffrey Jones is his nemesis, Henry Bolingbroke.

The Shakespeare Players present “Richard II” on April 22, 24, and 25, at MuCCC, 142 Atlantic Avenue. $9-$19. muccc.org.

SPECIAL EVENT | “BETTER BLOCK” POP-UP

A section of Arnett Boulevard in Rochester’s 19th Ward Neighborhood will transform this Saturday with pop-up restaurants, stores, a yoga studio, and other local vendors. The “Better Block” project will open in the Arnett Trolley Stop District, between Rugby Avenue and Wellington Avenue. The project is part of a nation-wide movement that aims to demonstrate revitalization possibilities in neighborhoods by hosting pop-up shops and modeling how alternative transportation, like biking, walking, and public transit, could be efficient in the area.

Along with stores and restaurants, this event will also have activities for children, community bike rides, fitness activities, a beekeeping demonstration, and live music. The building located at 362 Arnett will anchor the Arnett Trolley Stop District on the west end, and will be filled with Better Block vendors and events.

The east end will be anchored by the Grimshaw building.

The Arnett Trolley Stop District “Better Block” project will take place Saturday, April 25, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Arnett Boulevard, between Rugby and Wellington Avenues. More information can be found at arnetttrolleystop.com.

THEATER | “HAIRSPRAY”

“Hairspray,” the acclaimed Broadway musical, will be presented in all its teenage-glitz glory in four performances by the National Institute for the Deaf Performing Arts program at Rochester Institute of Technology. In this well-loved, coif-heavy production, Tracy Turnblad peruses her dream of performing on the Corny Collins Show, while trying to win the affection of the dreamy Link Larkin and dethrone the reigning Teen Queen.

Seeing a show by RIT/NTID Performing Arts is an experience not readily forgotten. Established in 1974, the program annually produces a number of shows for both deaf and hearing audiences with deaf students cast in lead roles. Lines are delivered simultaneously in sign by the primary performers and spoken or sung by secondary “voicers,” so that each character is played by two actors. With more than 30 years of experience brought to bear on each show, their methods for delivering multilinguistic performances are sophisticated and seamless.

RIT/NTID will perform “Hairspray” beginning on Friday, April 24, at the Panara Theatre at RIT, 1 Lomb Memorial Drive. Performances are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, April 24 through 26; and Friday, May 1, and Sunday, May 3. Friday through Saturday, 7:30 p.m.; 2 p.m. on Sunday. $5-$7. ntid.rit.edu/theatre.

THEATER | “THE ROAD TO WHERE”

It is a truism that life often makes more sense in the rearview mirror; what feels like aimless wandering in the moment often seems like a clearly marked road in retrospect. In “The Road to Where,” coming Friday to Geva’s Fielding Nextstage, writer and actress Cass Morgan takes a look at her own circuitous history. Telling stories of growing up in a Florida trailer park, childhood memories in Rochester, and a desire to reconcile with her parents, this Broadway veteran’s script is brought to life in story and song. Cass is joined onstage by Megan Loomis, an Eastman grad violinist and well-toured performer from Rochester; Ben Meixwell, a collaborative pianist with extensive and varied performance credentials; and Eli Zoller, who has recently performed on Broadway as a professional musician and has credentials in Off-Broadway music direction.

“The Road to Where” is making its world debut this weekend at Geva Theatre, 75 Woodbury Boulevard, with performances at 7 p.m. on Thursday and Friday; 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday; and 3 p.m. on Sunday. Shows run through May 10. $32-$35. gevatheatre.org. — BY JONATHAN MEAD

DANCE | GARTH FAGAN DANCE 75/45 GALA

Check out

CITY’s

Garth Fagan Dance marks Fagan’s 75th birthday and the company’s 45th season with a gala benefit, “Celebrating Genius, The Man, The Company” at the Hyatt Regency this Saturday. The internationally acclaimed company will be performing at the event, including Fagan’s piece “Passion Distanced” which features an 11-minute solo for Norwood Pennewell. In 1988, Pennewell danced this solo at the Joyce Theater in New York City and was awarded a Bessie. It will be interesting to see how his interpretation of this piece has matured. Fagan is known for appreciating life experience and emotional maturity among his dancers which is rare in an art that places a premium on youthfulness.

Altogether, the company has accrued five Bessie Awards, and Fagan a Tony Award for his choreography in Broadway’s “Lion King.” The company’s founder, artistic director, and choreographer, Fagan has created more than 70 dance works and is highly regarded in the dance world for his cutting edge combination of Afro-American, ballet, modern, and post-modern styles. The term “Fagan Technique” has even become a touch phrase among dancers, choreographers, and instructors.

The evening begins at 6:30 with cocktails and a silent auction featuring the work of prominent area artists, followed by the performance, dinner, and then a live auction and dancing.

Actor Taye Diggs, a graduate of Rochester’s School of the Arts, will act as Honorary Chair for the event. Tickets for the gala are $250 and limited in availability. Proceeds will support Garth Fagan Dance performances, Garth Fagan Dance School’s training program, and the organization’s educational programs within the community.

[ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

Greece Ridge 12

If you’re like me, you tend to shy away from science fiction. Getting invested on any makebelieve plane is difficult enough without all the chilly technical mumbo-jumbo required to craft a futuristic but still-plausible setting. Plus there’s always a Big Idea of some kind, usually a commentary on man’s hubris, which rarely results in anything but a downer. This is why I’m grateful for novelist and screenwriter Alex Garland, who

typically infuses his sci-fi with humor, heart, and action yet refuses to dumb it down. Best known for his excellent collaborations with Danny Boyle (2002’s “28 Days Later” and 2007’s “Sunshine”), Garland finally takes a turn in the director’s chair with “Ex Machina,” a smart, sleek thriller that sexes up the concept of artificial intelligence via an exploration of the age-old power struggle between men and women.

The first few minutes of the film are a master class in efficiency, setting up the story in an economical fashion. Soon our ostensible hero, a programmer named Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson, “About Time”), has arrived at the remote home of his boss Nathan (Oscar Isaac, “A Most Violent Year”), a brilliant internet billionaire who has surrounded himself with glass, stone, technology, and a lot of wilderness.

The mild-mannered Caleb has been selected to spend a week assisting the arrogantly charismatic Nathan, and when Caleb learns that the project involves testing both the intellectual and emotional quotients of artificial intelligence, he geeks

out appropriately. Then Caleb meets Nathan’s exquisite new achievement, Ava. As played by knockout Swedish actress Alicia Vikander, Ava is doe eyes and diodes, gentle curves and metal coils, all encased in an alluringly transparent female shell. “Ex Machina” unfolds as a series of duets, between Caleb and Ava, and between Caleb and Nathan, the latter taking on more passive-aggressive weight as the former develops an air of romance. (Luckily, Ava’s creator thought of everything: “If you wanted to screw her, mechanically speaking, you could, and she’d enjoy it.”) Nathan has been monitoring the sessions with Caleb and Ava by camera, and it’s during a brief power outage that Ava shifts things into gear with four quick, quiet words to Caleb: “You shouldn’t trust him.”

Naturally, there’s also the “Frankenstein”-meets“Pygmalion” dynamic between Ava and Nathan.

“Is it strange to have made something that hates you?” she wonders of him, basically proving her sentience with one sentence. Garland’s meditative script finds his leads chewing on modern-day ethics and realities (you may, for instance, think twice the next time you decide to type any ol’ thing into a search engine) before it twists into a suspenseful round of cat-and-mouse. And it’s not surprising that someone who’s written such visceral films knows what he wants as a director; most of this chamber piece is beautifully framed two-shots, with the spacious but minimally appointed home used to claustrophobic effect. “Ex Machina” would actually make a killer stage play.

Short stuff The 57th Annual Rochester International Film Festival THURSDAY, APRIL 23, THROUGH SATURDAY, APRIL 25 DRYDEN THEATRE, 900 EAST AVENUE ROCHESTERFILMFEST.ORG

Thursday, April 23, 8 p.m.

In the wryly comedic “Tuning Oscar,” a couple’s conversation about death leads to an ill-advised promise which proves to be exceedingly difficult to keep.

A desperate killer stops at a gas station for some much needed supplies, but is held up by a chatty cashier in the amusing “Open 24 Hours.”

[ PREVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

Oh, throw in a little “Weird Science,” too: “Ex Machina” is surprisingly funny, with most of the zingers courtesy of the deadpan Isaac, who is lately establishing himself as one of the best of his generation. Swarthy and muscled, with a scar at the top of his shaved head through which his brains might erupt, Isaac’s blunt, fast-talking Nathan stands in stark contrast to the lanky and fair Gleeson, whose Caleb is our surrogate into Nathan’s paranoid existence. We come by information about Nathan as Caleb does, puzzling out disturbing motives that begin to seem less based in the quest for knowledge than they do in the need for control. Just don’t think too hard about the logistics of Nathan’s largely solitary life, such as things like groceries and housekeeping. It ain’t a documentary.

But delete all the technological stuff, and you’ve basically got “The Postman Always Rings Twice,” “Body Heat,” or some other film noir in which a beautiful, but possibly manipulative, woman pits a gullible chump against a controlling brute in the name of self-preservation. In this instance, however, the question is whether Ava actually has a self to preserve, and it’s easy to see how Caleb might get caught up in her as she flirts, pouts, and allows Caleb to project his knight-in-shining-armor fantasies onto what is essentially a next-level blowup doll. And Vikander totally sells it: her Ava blends the languid grace of a dancer with tiny whirring movements and nearly imperceptible reactions that nonetheless speak volumes. It’s the polar opposite of showy, yet she’s mesmerizing.

For 57 years now, the Rochester International Film Festival has been must-see viewing for local film buffs. Better known as “Movies on a Shoestring,” the annual event holds the remarkable title of being the oldest continuously running short film festival in the world. Presenting four unique programs of short films over the course of three nights, this year’s edition will be held Thursday, April 23, through Saturday, April 25.

There’s something for everyone to enjoy in the festival’s lineup, which mixes narrative, documentary, experimental, and animated short films from around the world. And admission is free.

I viewed a number of this year’s selections, and what follows are a few of the highlights. For more information on the festival and to view the complete schedule, check rochesterfilmfest.org.

Makis (Mihalis Marinos) contemplates how to die in the short “5 Ways 2 Die,” screening Saturday, April 25. PHOTO PROVIDED

A surprise pregnancy reveals the fractures in a long-term relationship in the dramatic two-hander, “Plato Para Dos (Party For Two),” from director Eugenia Llaguno.

Mixing stop-motion and computer animation to lovely effect, “Between Times” acts as a conversation of sorts between a cuckoo clock and the street clock its observes through the window of the bakery where it hangs.

Friday, April 24, 8 p.m.

“OMUL” is German director Brigitte

Drodtloff’s tender fable about a mysterious man who arrives at street market but whose presence agitates the other vendors when he begins to give away his possessions.

Directed by Tim Guinee and executive produced by the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, “One-Armed Man” isn’t a retelling of “The Fugitive,” but is instead a well-acted period drama about a hopeless man’s urgent request to his former employer.

In the enigmatic “Keeping Time,” a tribal dance ritual inspires a power station worker to find his own inner strength.

Directed by Minji Kang, “The Loyalist” tells the unsettling story of a North Korean general forced to make a decision between the wishes of his only daughter and those of his leadership.

An aging, out of work actor reluctantly takes a job chaperoning a young boy to a costume contest, in the charming “Cowboys,” from Spanish director Bernabé Rico.

becomes the source of much strife for a young Iranian woman in Sarah Saidan’s beautifully animated “Beach Flags.”

In the deadpan and darkly funny “5 Ways 2 Die,” a morose man works his way through various methods of offing himself, though his motive remains unclear.

I’m a sucker for films about old movie theaters, so Adam Carboni and Tansy Michaud’s loving documentary “Enjoy Your Intermission,” about the Hi-Way Drive-In Theater in Coxsackie, New York, had me at hello.

Animal lovers will get a kick out of “Foster Dog,” from director Lisa Alonso Vear, which takes a “Look Who’s Talking” approach to its story of a disabled dog learning the ins and outs of adoption.

The idiosyncratic “Hsu Ji (Behind the Screen)” is somewhat difficult to classify but its story, about the daughter of an illegal immigrant who gets some unexpected help from some silent film characters, is utterly captivating.

Saturday, April 25, 8 p.m.

In the gritty drama “Jaya,” from director Puja Maewal, a young girl struggles to survive the streets of Mumbai by posing as a boy.

Jon Noble’s harrowing “Nzara ‘76” tells the story of the first outbreak of Ebola in Sudan. Tensions rise as the virus claims more victims and tradition butts up against medical protocol.

Traveling to Geneva, four strangers are forced to share a ride with an eccentric taxi driver and a chicken named Power in the entertaining farce, “Taxistop.”

“Drone Strike” is split into parallel stories between an RAF drone pilot and a father in Afghanistan. It’s not hard to see where the film is headed, but that doesn’t make its shattering climax any less effective.

The closing day of a beloved movie theater proves a catalyst for relationships both new and old in the bittersweet Spanish drama, “The Last Session.”

NORTE, THE END OF HISTORY

SUCKER PUNCH

Sunday, April 26, 2 p.m.

Tuesday, April 28, 8 p.m.

An embittered law student commits a double murder; a family man takes the fall and is forced into prison; a mother and her two children wander the countryside looking for redemption. Lav Diaz’s epic reimagining of Crime and Punishment is both an intimate human drama and a cosmic treatise on the origin of evil. “For many people, length is an issue...

But not an issue if we remember that there are small and large canvases; brief ditties and lengthy arias; short stories and multivolume novels; the haiku and The Iliad. This should be the end of the argument.”—Lav Diaz (Norte, hangganan ng kasaysayan, Lav Diaz, Philippines 2013, 250 min., DCP)

Sucker Punch is a horribly underrated explosion of pure cinematic joie de vivre, written and directed by an equally underrated contemporary master Zack Snyder. The subject of this kinetic masterpiece is really cinema itself—a magical apparatus that has been generating the most vivid and impossible dreams for well over a century now. And like dreams themselves, Sucker Punch is absorbing, elusive, imperfect, excessive, and unsettling, but the world without it would be more than just a little bit grayer. (Zack Snyder, US/Canada 2011, 110 min., 35mm) Part of the series The Legacy of James Card.

A broad front porch stretches across the attractive yellow and green house at 381 Rugby Avenue. Its railing has decorative cutouts and tapered columns characteristic of the Craftsman style. You enter through the original front door with matching wooden screen into the vestibule, with its period tiles and leaded glass, some of the many intact historic features of this house.

The long, bright living room has a brick fireplace at one end, flanked by bookshelves with leaded glass doors and matching windows above. Original oak floors and simple varnished wood trim run throughout the house. A door opens to the front porch, which has no street access, making it an ideal play space for children. A large, leaded glass pocket door leads to the dining room, which has a coffered ceiling and chair rail. At one end is a small nook, ideal for an upright piano, or bookshelves and a cozy chair. A swinging door leads to the butler’s pantry with its original wood and glass fronted cabinets. Here, a sink and dishwasher are successfully integrated with the old cabinets and form part of the eatin kitchen. A servants’ stair leads upstairs from the kitchen, joining the main stairs at the landing, under a stained glass window.

The basement features a built-in workshop, laundry and cold storage room. There is a powder room off the basement stairs.

In the spacious upstairs hall, the built-in linen closet and drawers form a beautiful

wall of gleaming wood. And for your convenience, there is a laundry chute!

The four bedrooms have good closets, some with windows. Two of the bedrooms connect to the sleeping porch, overlooking the small backyard and double garage. In the bathroom are chunky vintage fixtures and hexagonal tiles. The walk-up attic is an interesting unfinished space with windows on three sides, offering ample storage.

This home is located in the 19th Ward, a diverse, historic residential neighborhood, close to the University of Rochester and its Medical School. The active 19th Ward Community Association will host a neighborhood picnic in nearby Genesee Valley Park on June 5th (http://www.19wca. org). Come and meet your neighbors! This Olmsted designed park has a swimming pool, skating rink, and beautiful trails along the Genesee River. Ready for some locally grown food? On Tuesday June 9th, the weekly West Side Farmers Market opens at St. Monica’s church.

This 2,408 square foot home, with new roof, insulation and furnace, is offered at $139,000 with taxes of $3, 378. Come to an open house on Sunday, April 26 from 1-2:30 p.m., or contact Cindy “B” Rosato at RE/ MAX 585-756-7418.

You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.
