NOTES O

ver the past several months I’ve come to appreciate how Abstract Expressionism, with Mark Rothko at the centre of it, was the first truly international art movement to come out of the United States. Prior to my research, I hadn’t understood that with the rise of these powerful individualistic painters, America, and more specifically New York, became the centre of modern Western culture.

Early in their career, the Abstract Expressionists like Newman, Pollock, Still, Kline and Rothko had been very politically aligned but by the 1940s, in the wake of the atomic bomb, the Holocaust, and all the colossal devastations of WWII, a predominant disillusionment with political ideology had taken hold. Like many artists around the globe, these American painters had to disassociate themselves from an overt political agenda in order to find a way to portray world events and human experiences too catastrophic to depict by any conventional representation. They believed that beyond figuration lay the possibility of expressing a deep personal and political worldview using pure gesture, color and ‘action painting’. It’s easy today to forget that this had never been done before in quite that way, but removing all recognizable depictions of the natural world and making the work about a visceral expression of the artist’s immediate experience was the most profoundly daring painting of its time. This new art form resonated well beyond the borders of America and its message was this: Look, we in America are free to express ourselves, we are a free country, we are a democracy. Of course, in actual fact, McCarthyism was at its height and the American government found it quite useful to project a democratic image abroad through the promotion of these artists. Little did they know, their revolutionary movement was also part of a much larger political process at work.

Whether these artists were successful in expressing anything meaningful or anything ‘useful’ to the mass public is of course up to each individual spectator. I think that this question, this nagging uncertainty, is essential in John Logan’s play about Mark Rothko and his young assistant Ken. Why? Because Mark Rothko’s life ultimately depended on it.

I think that while Rothko believed that his paintings could affect powerful social change, he also deeply doubted their impact. This doubt is the engine that drives Rothko and that which threatens to bring him down. Could his passionate abstract images reach us on a spiritual level beyond politics, beyond time and social circumstance, touching our common humanity? That certainly was his intent. And, as a spectator in a gallery in the presence of his monumental paintings, that has been my experience. I have been 24 RED

truly moved, literally captivated and physically struck by his paintings. But is this effort a bourgeois exercise? Is it an elitist engagement? Do these paintings affect change in society?

Do they stir us to action and give us an understanding of the human condition? Will they stand the test of time?

In this sense, Red is a play about faith verses doubt – in the artistic process, in ourselves, in our work, and in our place in the world. I think we all are confronted with the struggles that faced Mark Rothko: what does my life’s work add up to? How will I be remembered? Have I been true to myself? These are all questions that eventually demand an answer from us. Can we overcome our own doubts and fears and find the strength and faith to move forward, to find life regardless of all these insurmountable questions standing between us and a sense of fulfillment?

For both Rothko and Ken, art is the key to navigate life, to express its meaning and to survive the truth. And in Red we see Rothko struggle with the ultimate truth that we all have to eventually step aside and make room for regeneration, the cycles of life: rebirth, renewal, life and death.

Red has made me chase down painters and ideas and books; I hope you find the content of this play as inspiring as I do. Thanks to all the extraordinary artists that came together to make this production and thank you to Jim Mezon and David Coomber; I am thrilled to be working with two extraordinary Canadian actors.

PLAYWRIGHT

JOHN LOGAN John Logan is an American playwright, screenwriter and film producer. Logan was born in San Diego on September 24, 1961. His parents emigrated to the US from Northern Ireland via Canada. The youngest of three children, he has an older brother and sister. Logan grew up in California and New Jersey, before moving to Chicago to attend Northwestern University, where he graduated in 1983. Logan was a successful playwright in Chicago for many years before turning to screenwriting. His first play, Never the Sinner, tells the story of the infamous Leopold and Loeb case. Subsequent plays include Hauptmann, about the Lindbergh baby kidnapping, and Riverview, a musical melodrama set at Chicago’s famed amusement park. His play Red, about artist Mark Rothko, was produced by the Donmar Warehouse, London in December 2009, and on Broadway, where it received six Tony Awards. Logan wrote Any Given Sunday and the television movie RKO 281, before gaining an Academy Award nomination for co-writing the Best Picture-winner, Gladiator in 2000. He gained another nomination for writing 2004’s The Aviator, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and directed by Martin Scorsese. Other notable films written by Logan include Star Trek: Nemesis, The Time Machine, The Last Samurai, and the Tim Burton-directed musical, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, for which he received a Golden Globe Award. Logan’s most recent feature films include Rango, an animated feature starring Johnny Depp and directed by Gore Verbinski, the film adaptation of Shakespeare’s Coriolanus directed by and starring Ralph Fiennes, and the film adaptation of The Invention of Hugo Cabret directed by Martin Scorsese. Logan wrote the script to the upcoming James Bond film, Skyfall, along with Neal Purvis and Robert Wade.

PLAY RED introduces us to the compelling Abstract Expressionist artist Mark Rothko and

his young assistant, Ken. Set in his studio in the late 1950s, the play is a fictionalized account of one of Rothko’s historic artistic commissions: to create a series of murals for the new Four Seasons restaurant in the Seagram Building in New York City. As he paints, Rothko begins to question the project he’s committed to and his role as an artist. When he sees that his great commission will reduce his paintings to being merely decorative rather than transformative, he confronts this new truth through a visceral and passionate debate of ideas, art and relevance.

MARK ROTHKO

Rothko is widely recognized for his signature “colour-field” composition and unique painting techniques. In Red, actors Jim Mezon (Rothko) and David Coomber (Ken) paint live on stage in Rothko’s style. To prepare, they became familiar with Rothko’s approach through painting rehearsals, research and information sessions with artists.

ABOUT

MARK ROTHKO

By the late 1950s, Rothko was a celebrated (if not wealthy) artist, winning him three mural commissions that would dominate the latter part of his career. Only in the last of these, The Rothko Chapel in Houston, was he able to realize his dream of a truly contemplative environment in which to interact deeply with his artwork.

Red presents a fictionalized account of Rothko’s frustrated first attempt to create such a space in New York’s Four Seasons restaurant. Rothko sought to create art that was timeless; paintings that expressed basic human concerns and emotions that remain constant

(CON’T)

not merely across decades but across generations and epochs. He looked to communicate with his viewer at the most elemental level and, through his artwork, have a conversation that was intense, personal and, above all, honest.

A viewer’s tears in front of one of his paintings told him he had succeeded.

While creating a deeply expressive body of work and garnering critical acclaim, Rothko battled depression and his brilliant career ended in suicide in 1970.

–As provided by Dramatists.com

4 In the late 1950s, Rothko’s work darkened dramatically and he moved away from his signature style. Many credit this change to the frustrations he faced while working on the mural commission for the Four Seasons restaurant in the Seagram Building in New York City. Although Rothko ultimately withdrew from this project, today the completed works hang at the Tate Modern gallery. Pictured here is a painting reproduced by Hamilton Scenic Specialty Inc. for Red.

MacLean

a midsummer night’s dream

Colin MacLean is the dean of Edmonton theatre reviewers.

In 2007, Colin was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award for Outstanding Contribution to Theatre in Edmonton at the Sterling Awards.

Julien Arnold is relentlessly upbeat. In conversation, his eyes sparkle

and words spill out of his mouth in a cascade of exuberance. It’s been suggested that his immediate accessibility on stage is due, in no small part, to his self-effacing humour and a genuine love of life. Or perhaps, posits director Bob Baker, it’s because of his affinity and skill in playing “charming, huggable, underdog, teddy-bear characters.”

foreshadowing with Colin MacLean You know Julien. He’s been practically unmissable on Edmonton stages since he burst on the Edmonton scene in the early ‘90’s. He was Cogsworth in the Citadel’s superlative Beauty and the Beast. His Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz may not have erased Bert Lahr’s performance in the film, but the character was given Arnold’s own unique (and highly effective) twist.

His Petruchio in the Freewill Players’ The Taming of the Shrew won him a Sterling Award nomination in 1996. Earlier this season, he played the Narrator in the Citadel’s production of The Rocky Horror Show. He registered strongly and as Baker points out, “It was a tough job – having to play through John Ullyatt, (who played the outrageous Frank N. Furter in stiletto heels and glittering corsets). Having the audience yell ‘boring’ at you every time you open your mouth is pretty daunting but he held on with his own kind of fireworks.” (Arnold did indeed have to hold onto his actor’s reserve when, during one performance, he was describing oncoming storm clouds. In a short pause, to catch his breath, a voice in the audience called out, “Describe your testicles.” The next words in the script were, “huge, black and pendulous.”)

And, of course, there is his signature role of Bob Cratchit in Baker’s A Christmas Carol which he’s been playing to great acclaim since it opened over a decade ago – only a heart attack kept him from playing it for the complete run. “I don’t think I even ‘read him’ for the part,”

a midsummer night’s dream remembers Baker. “There was absolutely no question that he could carry it off.”

Arnold is Bottom the Weaver in Tom Wood’s upcoming production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream – billed over the supporting cast of seasoned young professionals who are part of this year’s Citadel/Banff Centre’s Professional Theatre Program.

Julien Arnold grew up on Vancouver Island watching his father, an amateur actor, perform in community theatre. “I remember watching him as a kid, spellbound by his ability to hold an audience. I thought, ‘What an amazing place to discuss big issues and big themes.’”

He came to Edmonton to get a BFA from the University of Alberta in 1986 and just stayed. “I found wonderfully supportive audiences here,” he says. One of the local actors who noticed him at the U of A was Jeff Haslam (a fine performer himself and currently Artistic Director of Teatro La Quindicina), who had graduated just before him. “I dragged Stewart (writer/director Lemoine) to see him,” remembers Haslam. Lemoine immediately cast Arnold in his The Glittering Heart and thus began a long and mutually beneficial relationship with the Teatro company of elite players. “That was the first show he did with us and it not only had a good run here but we took it to Toronto where it did well. Stewart then wrote a play called Shocker’s Delight for the two of us (along with Davina Stewart)

foreshadowing with Colin MacLean

“Bottom is such a good role for Julien because he’s got unfailing comic timing and instincts. ...” and that was another watershed production for Teatro. It was the first time we had done something serious together and we’ve been working together ever since.” (Most recently The Ambassador’s Wives in 2010.)

Arnold also developed a bond with the newly formed Freewill Players presenting summer Shakespeare in Hawrelak Park. His lengthy resume there shows numerous supporting (Malvolio/ Jaques) and lead (Petruchio/Romeo) roles with the company. Observes Baker, “Bottom is such a good role for Julien because he’s got unfailing comic timing and instincts. He’s also thoughtful and intelligent and Bottom will certainly give him the chance to explore those elements. He’ll also be a mentor for the younger, mid-career actors in the partnership between Banff and the Citadel. His ability and experience will add a lot to their on-stage development.”

Some of Arnold’s favourite roles include the Butler in The Drowsy Chaperone. “It wasn’t a huge role but there was something about the stillness of the man. I love that ultra deadpan thing

a midsummer night’s dream – like John Gielgud in (the movie) Arthur.” (Said Dudley Moore as Arthur, “I think I’ll take a bath.” “Oh good,” deadpans Gielgud as Hobson, the butler, “I’ll summon the press.”) The Cowardly Lion? “That was a big challenge and a gift. It was a big singing role on a big stage.

I had to work to keep on key and there were nights when I was happy to be able to sing all the right notes in the right order.” Bob Cratchit? “One thing I’ve learned about acting – you have to keep learning. I’ve grown into the role and, because of it, have become a better actor, I hope. It’s very emotionally challenging and doing it night after night I’ve been able to take that pain and emotional truth into other roles.”

In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Bottom is a stage-struck weaver. He and his company of five bumpkins (“rude mechanicals,” Puck calls them) have taken to the forest to rehearse a play to be presented at court. Through a series of misunderstandings, the fairy Puck places a donkey’s head on poor Bottom and through the mystical magic of the enchanted forest, causes Titania, the Queen of Fairies, to fall in love with him. Later the deluded fellow, who is batting way above his stats on this one, thinks his night of passion was a dream, “past the wit of man.” Later at court, their play, “Pyramus and Thisbe”, which they think of as a

“One thing I’ve learned about acting – you have to keep learning. ...”

foreshadowing with Colin MacLean stark tragedy, is performed so badly it becomes a comedy in the eyes of the audience – much to the consternation of the troupe. Puck reappears and sets everything right (“restores amends”) and all ends happily as the sprite reminds us that all is but a dream.

“I’ve seen ...Dream played cynically but I think that goes against what’s written,” offers Arnold.

“Bottom and his fellow actors are drinking buddies and it’s like when you get together with your pals and decide to put on a show. They love theatre.” That makes them a lot like the actor himself – who loves to get together with his pals and talk. And maybe do some theatre too. “I think it might be Shakespeare’s way of reminding us that theatre can be playful. I think people need a sense of play in their lives – and I think that goes for audiences as much as it does actors.”

About 5 years ago, Julien almost died from a massive heart attack. “That sure has a profound effect on your life,” he observes ruefully. “Theatre is a very stressful lifestyle. For one thing, you’re always out of work – though I’ve been incredibly lucky in that area. But you’re always worried about the future. After a near death experience, you tend to take life more seriously.

Theatre was always a kind of fun thing for me and a great way to make a living. But I came to feel there had to be a reason for it and so I think I became a better actor – trying to share what was in my heart with audiences. To tell them great stories.”

To that end, he established his own company, Atlas Theatre. In keeping with his general attitude toward life, you won’t find any Sartrian existential theatre in the Atlas season. No Waiting for Godot. The mandate of the company is to produce rich plays with interesting characters. As the newly minted Artistic Director says, “celebrating the human spirit.”

But in the near future, there is the Citadel’s Bottom to be considered. “He’s a character actor’s dream,” says Julien Arnold with the same anticipation and elan that marks the rest of his life.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream opens on the Mainstage on April 7th.

about our

FOOTE THEATRE SCHOOL

Do you ever watch a show and think “I want to try that”?

Or does your child like to “perform” for friends and relatives?

Why not take a class at the Foote Theatre School?

The Foote Theatre School is Edmonton’s oldest and largest theatre school, and provides classes for children (as young as three), teens and adults! We offer year-round classes in acting, musical theatre, improvisation, auditioning, film acting, public speaking and many other special topics. Our students range from children looking for something fun to do on a Saturday to adults looking to try out something that they’ve always been interested in.

Children’s classes take place on Saturdays or after school weekdays and run throughout the school year. We also offer Spring Break and Summer Day Camps that meet for a full week (Monday-Friday, 9 am to 4 pm), and culminate with a performance on one of the Citadel’s stages. These classes are all on sale now.

Adult classes meet weeknights (beginning at 6:30 to take advantage of less expensive downtown parking) for one week or several. We offer a variety of classes for actors and non-actors alike, scheduled to fit into your busy lifestyle. This spring, why not take a six-week course in Public Speaking or Clowning or Classical Monologues?

The talented individuals who teach these classes are working professionals – performers and educators – people who know their stuff. People who appear on area stages (including the Citadel) or in local classrooms. People who care about arts education.

While only a small percentage of our students pursue a career in theatre, they all leave here with life skills that will enrich their lives no matter what their chosen profession. It has

& YOUNG COMPANIES been proven that theatre training helps to instill self-confidence and a sense of creativity, heightens communication and cooperation, and contributes to numerous other life skills that will help a person no matter where their lives may take them – adults as well as children!

But if you are (or know someone who is) more serious about pursuing a career in theatre, we have a program for you as well, the Citadel Young Companies – an advanced training and mentorship program for aspiring artists between the ages of 16-21 in the areas of Acting, Musical Theatre, Playwriting and Theatre Production. Students meet twice a week throughout the year for regular study with our professional faculty. They also have the opportunity to participate in specialized workshops with a variety of leading theatre professionals. The training culminates in performances for the Acting and Musical Companies (this year’s shows are Cloud Nine and Spring Awakening) and staged readings for the Young Playwriting Company. The Theatre Production Company students contribute to these events behind the scenes. Admission to the Citadel Young Companies is by audition or application only. Please watch our website for details.

The Foote Theatre School and Citadel Young Companies have something for everyone – young or old, actor or non-actor, serious or looking for fun. Visit citadeltheatre.com for more information. And enjoy the show. Next time it might be you up there!
