October WELCOME TO THE ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT ISSUE

88 XX

KICK IT UP FOR FALL Ankle boots, shoe boots and even overthe-knee styles are important trends for Winter 2015. And look for fringed styles in every height.

Photographs by Scott Keeler

Artists draw on a subtle palette of color to add dimension with shades of white. Many examples hang in the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg.

WHITE AS COLOR

28 FOUND HERE AT HOME Map-adorned items will delight bay area residents with a strong sense of place or remind visitors of their travels to the area.

STIR THINGS UP THIS FALL

Color, pattern and graphic themes dominate fashions for fall. Pair those with the agility of performers with Cirque du Soleil, and hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the result: the stunning photographic images on the cover and inside this issue of the magazine. Autumn brings an abundance of arts and entertainment options to the area, from headliners who will appear at the Clearwater Jazz Holiday, the Ringling International Arts Festival and the Times Festival of Reading to creative leadership for local performance venues. The Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg has a milestone birthday; with timely updates over the years, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to show its age. If you have ever tried to select the perfect white paint for a room, you already know how overwhelming the number of choices can be. Have a look at how artists make the most of various pale pigments, then meet a collector whose family lives with bright primary colors daily, especially in the light that plays on a Dale Chihuly glass chandelier. Water activities are popular year-round, but have you tried aquatic horseback offerings? BeachHorses in Bradenton offers riding, surfing and skiing options for all ages. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great time to re-energize by visiting favorite venues and test driving something different. Our best wishes for a grand new season. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mary Jane Park

POP THE CORK Soft, durable, sustainable cork is popping up in all kinds of accessories, including jewelry and purses. This handbag, from Portugal, where 50 percent of cork is harvested, is hand-tooled with lovely organic shapes and a leather strap. Dress it up or down. Carry it to an outdoor music festival or to the theater. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Pegie Stark

FOUND HERE With strong identification and a loyal sense of place, many residents of the Tampa Bay area will delight in having maps and other identifiers that link them to home. Visitors to the area should enjoy colorful mementos of their travels or wrap them up to give to generous hosts. We will hazard a guess that these signs will pop up in a number of professional offices and in many rooms where families gather. — Mary Jane Park

CHANGE IT UP Entertaining is more fun using dishware embellished with changeable decorations like a palm tree, beach ball or grill. Called “minis,” they come in a variety of themes from Christmas to Florida Gators football. Pop them on and off of a dish’s small holders, changing the mood with each season or party theme. — Pegie Stark

An artistic vision realized

MAHAFFEY TURNS 50

A crowd listens to a band at the “Second Thursday” celebration on the Plaza between the Mahaffey and Dalí Museum in April. Once a month early this year, the theater brought in a local band to perform for hundreds of patrons who came to relax, hang out and enjoy catered food and drinks. Photograph by John Pendygraft

A renovation in 1987 reduced the sloped floor of the theater to dirt and the ceiling to temporary plywood cover. The lobby and lounge were demolished. Dress code required a hard hat in November 1987 as the people who spearheaded the $23 million renovation of the Bayfront Center toured its theater, arena, lounge and meeting room.

Today, the Mahaffey Theater is a serious competitor for major acts in the bay area and has plans for future growth.

T BY JAY CRIDLIN

he Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg turned 50 this year. It’s a remarkable milestone for a venue that at times set the bar for cultural entertainment in Tampa Bay, at other times seemed like an albatross around the neck of the city. It remains an underdog among Tampa Bay’s three major performing arts halls, yet after decades of government backing, a few timely benefactors and the occasional 100-hour workweek, the Mahaffey is not only humming right along, but plotting more growth in its future. The theater does not look 50; no part of it feels historic, apart from the commemorative photo exhibit lining the walls of its lobby. It has been through so much sprucing up through the decades that virtually none of its original features are visible. The original Bayfront Center included an arena and an adjacent 2,200-seat theater for plays, concerts and special events. For years the Bayfront Center Arena was a smashing success, hosting everything from hockey and tractor pulls to circuses and concerts by the likes of Elvis, Liberace and Bruce Springsteen. The theater, too, saw legends pass through — Louis Armstrong in 1966, Itzhak Perlman in 1972, Ray Charles in 1978.

At right, a wide-angle lens shows the circular pattern inside reinforcement steel at Bayfront Center in 1964.

The ’80s, in particular, were a “golden age” of theatrical entertainment, said Zev Buffman, who from 1980 to 1988 brought blockbuster plays and musicals to the Bayfront Theatre — renamed the Mahaffey in 1988 — as part of his Broadway in the Sunshine series. “Every opening night in St. Pete, people were dazzled,” said Buffman, who is now the CEO of Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater. As competition blossomed in Tampa Bay, the golden age ended, and events moved to other venues. The arena was demolished, but the theater was saved and in 2005 underwent a $20 million makeover. In 2011 the Dalí Museum moved next door, into the arena’s old spot, and the city ceded control of the Mahaffey and its programming to Big3 Entertainment, a promotions company owned by mortgage magnate Bill Edwards. And finally, after two decades of struggling to pad its schedule, the Mahaffey once again became a serious competitor for entertainment events in Tampa Bay.

CLEARWATER JAZZ HOLIDAY

OCTOBER 15-18, 2015 Clearwater continues its centennial celebration Oct. 15-18 with headliners Sheryl Crow and Americana favorites the Avett Brothers during the Clearwater Jazz Holiday. Coachman Park will be the focus of activity during the four-day 36th annual music extravaganza, which also features classic soul performers the O’Jays and Gladys Knight, blues legend Buddy Guy, St. Petersburg native and saxophonist Mindi Abair, New Orleans-based Big Sam’s Funky Nation and swing fiddlers the Quebe Sisters. A fireworks display is scheduled after Crow’s performance on Oct. 17. Throughout its history, the celebration has featured artists such as Tony Bennett, Woody Herman, Buddy Rich, Dizzy Gillespie, Dave Brubeck, Stan Getz and the Count Basie Orchestra. The event draws an estimated 30,000 to 40,000 people to downtown Clearwater during the weekend, has a volunteer corps of 1,400 and a budget of about $1 million, Clearwater Jazz Holiday Foundation official Gary Hallas said. It also helps raise money for the foundation. In 2012 the festival began charging admission, and the lineup since has skewed more toward pop and soul headliners such as Bonnie Raitt, Chicago, and Earth, Wind & Fire, and newer artists such as Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, and Brandi Carlile. “The name Clearwater Jazz Holiday has a wonderful heritage and a 36-year brand with meaning far beyond the lineup of artists,” foundation executive director Steve Weinberger said. “The event touches on a experience unique and special to us — to our amazing family of volunteers, partners and supporters, many of which share a multi-generational bond with us. While the mix of genres to the festival has definitely evolved, especially over the last 14 years, increasing awareness and the buzz of the festival, the jazz heritage is still core and prevalent in the lineup and vital to the education outreach component of the foundation’s mission.” Additional artists scheduled are the James Suggs Quintet, Dave Stryker, Poncho Sanchez & His Latin Band, Gloria West & the Gents, the Jack Wilkins Blue & Green Project, Phill Fest, Nicole Henry and Langhorne Slim & the Law.

OCTOBER 2015

OCTOBER 15-18, 2015 The Ringling International Arts Festival in Sarasota will celebrate the cultures and contemporary arts of Asia in a series of performances to herald the launch of the Ringling’s center for Asian art. “This year’s lineup ... includes a focus on Asian art as we build toward the opening of the center in 2016,” said Steven High, the Ringling’s executive director. The event runs from Oct. 15-18 and will feature seven different stage productions ranging from a circus that was founded by performers orphaned by war to a composer known for combining traditional music with experimental imagery. Tom Lee will present Shank’s Mare, which uses the traditional Kuruma Ningyo puppetry of Japan, with video and live music. Frequently characterized as “rowdy” and often seen as “crazy or mad,” the musicians of Orkes Sinten Remem, led by Djaduk Ferianto, transform traditional folk music into a melange of musical sounds that illustrate the reality of Indonesian life through nostalgia and humor. Phare: The Cambodian Circus will present Khmer Metal, a progressive tale of nightlife, passion, heartbreak, hope and tears. The presentation incorporates dance, circus arts and music. Tao Dance Theater, one of China’s premiere contemporary-dance companies, combines theatrical impact with technical virtuosity. Three solo performers will present their original works. Trained in the traditional dances of Thailand, Ronnarong Khampha will perform My Name is Ong, a solo work that explores current aesthetics. Indonesian composer and singer Peni Candra Rini has been praised for her mastery of traditional music and innovative creativity. And Jen Shyu will present Solo Rites: Seven Breaths. The American-East Timorese-Taiwanese jazz artist plays lutes, zithers and percussion instruments. The curation of the festival was realized in partnership with Stanford Makishi. In his previous role as executive director of the Baryshnikov Arts Center, he helped launch the Ringling festival in 2009. More recently, he was deputy director of programs at New York’s Asian Cultural Council. He was named vice president for programming at City Center New York in January.

FESTIVAL OFFERS VARIETY FOR READERS BY COLETTE BANCROFT

udy Blume is the kind of author that makes fans exclaim, “Her books changed my life!” Blume will be a headliner at the 23rd annual Tampa Bay Times Festival of Reading on Oct. 24 at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg. More than 80 million copies of her books have been sold. Blume is internationally beloved for her more than 20 books for young readers, such as Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, It’s Not the End of the World and Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. At the festival, Blume will present her latest book, her fourth bestselling novel for adults. In the Unlikely Event is a comingof-age story based on real events, a series of plane crashes that happened in her hometown of Elizabeth, N.J., in the 1950s, when the book is set. Blume, a Key West resident and activist for intellectual freedom, is sure to be a compelling speaker. Another notable woman, Gen. Ann Dunwoody, will be at the festival to present A Higher Standard: Leadership Strategies From America’s First Female Four-Star General. Now retired after almost 38 years in the U.S. Army, Dunwoody combines personal memoir with leadership lessons in her book. Once again the festival will present several Pulitzer Prize winners. Times staff writer Lane DeGregory and former Times staffer Anne Hull will appear to discuss Newswomen: Twentyfive Years of Front-Page Journalism, an anthology to which both Pulitzer winners contributed. Margo Jefferson, who won the Pulitzer for criticism, will appear to present Negroland, her memoir about growing up in a privileged black community in Chicago, the daughter of a doctor and a socialite.

Leonard Pitts Jr., a Pulitzer-winning columnist for the Miami Herald, will be at the festival to talk about his novel Grant Park, the story of two journalists, one black and one white, that spans four decades. The Times’ Pulitzer-winning PolitiFact staff will also be on hand to talk about factchecking as we head into the next presidential election. Celebrity authors are always popular at the festival, and Amber Tamblyn certainly qualifies as one. She began acting as a child in General Hospital and has since starred in Joan of Arcadia, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and Two and a Half Men. Her third collection of poetry, Dark Sparkler, was inspired by 25 women who had successful careers in acting but died before their time, from Marilyn Monroe to Brittany Murphy. Sports celebrity Dewayne Staats, marking his 40th year as a Major League Baseball broadcaster, will present his memoir Position to Win: A Look at Baseball and Life From the Best Seat in the House. Staats has been the television play-by-play man for the entire history of the Tampa Bay Rays, and his book covers that as well as other career

And Toni Lydecker and Elise Minkoff will present Food + Art: Cooking Around Tampa Bay With the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg, Florida, celebrating the museum’s 50th anniversary. Of course, plenty of Florida authors are on the festival’s roster. Among the accomplished fiction writers appearing are University of Florida creative writing professor Padgett Powell, whose story collection is Cries for Help, Various, and Tallahassee author Jesse Goolsby with his debut novel about the war in Afghanistan, I’d Walk With My Friends If I Could Find Them. Florida is a rich territory for crime fiction writers, and among those on hand will be Tim Dorsey with Shark Skin Suite, Lori Roy with Let Me Die in His Footsteps and Lisa Unger with Crazy Love You.

Nonfiction writers at the festival will include former University of Florida law school dean Jon Mills with Privacy in the New Media Age, John Norris with Mary McGrory: The First Queen of Journalism, Diane Roberts with Tribal: College Football and the Secret Heart of America and Ben Yagoda with The B Side: The Death of Tin Pan Alley and the Rebirth of the Great American Song.

WHITE as color I

BY LENNIE BENNETT

n the movie Girl With a Pearl Earring, Johannes Vermeer, the great 17th century painter played by Colin Firth, asks his servant Griet, played by Scarlett Johansson, to tell him the color of a cloud. She looks out the studio window and answers, “white.” She pauses, and says no, it is blue, yellow and gray. “Now you understand,” Vermeer says. That scene says much about how painters changed the history of Western art beginning in the 15th century by using subtle combinations of color, along with perspective, to create the illusion on a flat surface of the dimension we see in reality. Before that, lines and shading could produce that illusion to a degree. But compare Renaissance works with earlier ones, and you see the richness of surfaces from light and shadow that different color values suggest. White always has been one of the more challenging colors. Unlike other paints, it can’t be made lighter or darker. It’s always ... white. So artists call on elements of the color wheel for special effects. We offer examples from the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg. Take a long look on these pages or, better yet, see the originals at the museum. You, like Griet, will understand.

Jacques-Emile Blanche (1861-1942), Contemplation, 1883, oil on canvas Painted when Blanche was in his early 20s, Contemplation shows the influence of Edouard Manet, whom he revered and who died in the same year this was created. The composition alone is worth study. Many of the colors are muted; bright spots are found in the condiments, the young woman’s hair, a blue ribbon and a green wine glass. She wears a pale blue organdy dress that could almost pass for white; notice how Blanche uses white to develop the folds of fabric. The white tablecloth picks up the blue hues as does the gauzy sky. The shade behind her and the water seen through the window repeat the auburns of the condiments, her hair and flesh tones.

George Bellows (1882-1925), Silver Day, 1912, oil on canvas Bellows’ best-known works are visceral portraits of boxers, but he is also admired for his urban landscapes. Cold is the feeling conveyed in this scene of a harbor on New York’s East River. The sky and snow-covered foreground are a dull gray with white accents; the most predominant “white” is a blast of steam from a tugboat. The water is a dull color, too, its blue-greens made icier by dabs of more white. Against this palette, a few bits of red pop.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919), Woman Reading, 1891, oil on canvas We see a favorite subject of Renoir, a woman reading, and the familiar, softly sculptural style in which the human form is represented. And the rosy colors, of course. The diaphanous gown and the paper she holds incorporate the colors of the upholstery and wallpaper with a few swipes of blue also picked up from the wallpaper. The creamy white on her shoulder identifies the source of light from an unseen window.

Robert Henri (1865-1929), Village Girl-Lily Cow, 1915, oil on canvas White doesn’t come to mind when viewing this portrait, full of the intense colors Henri adopted mid-career. Henri was a leader of the American realism movement and, though he painted many gritty landscapes, he became famous for his portraits. The young girl in this one easily competes with the vibrant background with her rosy cheeks, scarlet coat, bright eyes and lips and the “white” dress. That dress is more about illusion and how colors work together in creating it. In truth, it’s mostly blue yet our eyes and brain tell us differently.

Georgia O’Keeffe (1887-1986), White Abstraction (Madison Avenue), 1926, oil on canvas. By the time O’Keeffe created White Abstraction, she was a respected artist who established her own kind of modernism that floated between realist and abstract. This painting is a good example, a landscape seen from far above, refined to the barest elements. A lot of black and gray goes into the white. They’re needed to create the four planes, anchored delicately off-center. Madison Avenue rips through it diagonally, a yellow line midway as an accent color .

Guy Pene du Bois (1884-1958), Cafe Madrid, Spain (Portrait of Mr. and Mrs. Chester Dale), 1926, oil on canvas Du Bois is best known for portraying the fashionable cafe society of which he was a member. This couple were among his most generous benefactors and are an example of his ambivalent point of view: glamor and shallowness in equal parts. The painting presents opposites, too, of dark and light. Against the deep blue sky, landscape and black clothes, the man’s white shirt is the painting’s brightest spot. In comparison, the tablecloth picks up the earth tones of the couple’s skin.

Riding the

WAVES BY JACQUELINE SAVAIANO PHOTOGRAPHS BY SOPHIA NAHLI ALLISON

hink wind. Think water. Think horse skiing. Beyond kite rentals, sunset cruises and balloon rides, beyond hotel pools, airy balconies and beach bars, there’s a world of beach options you may not have imagined. One I discovered is aquatic horseback riding. There are several options available in the area. I opted for BeachHorses in Manatee County, chosen by National Geographic as one of the top 25 things to do in water in Florida.

“Horse surfing” is one of several aquatic activities guests are able to try on an outing with BeachHorses in Bradenton. The experience begins with a walk along the beach on horseback, then riding into the water for unique activities.

It’s a horseback ride on the beach with a twist: swimming and fun activities with horses in the bay. As the late afternoon sun’s rays hit the surface of Bradenton’s Palma Sola Bay, I rode bareback along the narrow beach for 30 minutes and then 300 yards into the water atop Buster, 13, a chestnut-colored Belgian-Quarter Horse mix. BeachHorses lures people of all ages from throughout the world for head-to-toe aquatic fun. Riders of various skill levels ages 3 and older are welcome and accommodated with specially trained horses under the individual guidance of experienced trainers. I shared the time with a family of five from Alabama and a Largo couple who drove an hour to the gathering spot on Manatee Avenue/State Road 64 at the beginning of the Palma Sola Causeway. The half-hour of water tricks in 4-foot-deep water along the sandbar were the highlights.

Droplets of water splash around a horse and instructor in Palma Sola Bay in Bradenton. BeachHorses guests can enjoy not only horseback riding along the beach but also swimming and other aquatic activities with the horses.

First, horse surfing. Standing on Buster’s wet, slippery back was tricky and required core strength and balance. Steadying myself with the aid of a water-bound guide’s outstretched hand and arm, I crouched three-quarters of the way up as Buster walked forward 10 feet or so. Next, horse skiing. In the water now, holding onto the base of Buster’s tail and my legs afloat, I glided through the water with good speed as Buster clipped forward. I felt refreshed, despite the salty water’s warmth and the 92degree air temperature. Then swimming. After I climbed atop Buster again, the horse ventured into deeper water, began to paddle like a dog and exhaled frequent loud sighs. “The water pressure compresses his lungs to help him float,” said my guide, Danielle Zeris, 21. “That’s the noise.”

Guests take a warmup ride at sunset along the edge of Palma Sola Bay in Bradenton before riding into the water to experience fun activities with the horses.

Guests enjoy “horse skiing” in Palma Sola Bay — holding onto the base of the horse’s tail as it lopes through the water, ridden by an instructor. Other activities for guests to try include “horse surfing”, or balancing on a horse’s back, and sitting atop a horse as it swims through deeper water.

Gaining momentum, Buster rose up a bit like a dolphin, prompting me to wrap my arms around his neck to prevent tumbling off. Finally, the race back. All eight riders and horses lined up and headed to shore in a “lope,” a cross between a trot and a canter. This ride conjured a Zen moment, an enchanting sense of floating over and through water caused by synchronization of rhythms among Buster, me, the breeze and the waves. Other riders felt the magic, too. “This was on my bucket list, and it was absolutely fulfilling,” said Sherree Watkins, 57. “I love horses. I can look at them all day. I’m not a horse rider per se, except as an occasional trail rider, because I’m afraid I will fall off. But this is an experience I had never had. It was fantastic and thrilling.” BeachHorses 8400 Manatee Ave. W, Bradenton (941) 907-7272 beachhorses.com

KICKING IT UP FOR FALL BY MARY JANE PARK PHOTOGRAPHS BY SCOTT KEELER

hose dazzling, can’t-miss over-the-knee red stilettos in promotional materials for the hit musical Kinky Boots are beginning to appear throughout the Tampa Bay area, heralding the touring production that will run from Dec. 1-6 at the David A. Straz Jr. Center for the Performing Arts in Tampa. Those are over the top for most consumers, but New York Fashion Week showed a smorgasbord of fall and winter styles in an array of heights and materials and a rainbow of hues that parallel themes in the smash Broadway hit, which explores themes of identity and acceptance. Patchwork and color blocks are important Winter 2015 trends, incorporated in ankle boots, shoe booties, and, yes, over-the-knee styles. “Chunky heels are big, and patchwork leather,” said Robert Roubideaux, public relations manager with Neiman Marcus in Tampa. “With the flared pant and jeans being strong this year, the shoe needs to be more substantial.”

Fringed styles in every height, urban hardware embellishments and lug soles for city sidewalks as well as rougher terrain also are dominant trends, according to Dawn Zachman, special events director for Dillard’s Eastern Division. “I think fringe is going to be an incredibly fun way to update your wardrobe,” she said. “We’ll hit all the platforms — your handbags, your clothing, your accessories. “Fringe is everywhere,” she said, attributing its popularity to the Bohemian influences that are dominant this season. That may also explain the floral patterns offered in several Dr. Martens styles from the British footwear company. Kinky Boots, which made 1980s pop diva Cyndi Lauper the first woman ever to receive

a Tony Award for best score and take best musical honors the same year, follows a story line adapted by Harvey Fierstein. In it, Charlie Price inherits his family’s family shoe factory in Northampton, England. At the urging of Lola, a cross-dressing cabaret singer, he is inspired to try to keep the business afloat by producing a line of highheeled fetish boots for men. That blend of naughty and nice easily sums up the musical production as well as the variety of boot designs spotlighted in fashion publications such as Vogue, Elle and Harper’s Bazaar: furry styles, flat lace-ups, feminine bows and metal studs starred on designer runways, along with checks and plaids.

Add relaxed boots that reach the midthigh, said Sally Shule, marketing director for Saks Fifth Avenue in the Mall at University Town Center in Sarasota. “It won’t be so fitted.” And earth tones that range from “spice to beautiful burgundy and beautiful green colors, with pops of orange and pink.” Basic black continues as a design staple, often with embellishments, in styles that range from feminine ankle boots and shoe booties to heavy brogans. If your style is more classic, go equestrian. Or Western. Or retro. And for our occasional bouts of foul weather, there’s no fairer friend than a trusted pair of Wellingtons.

PHILIP NEAL Artistic Director, Next Generation Ballet BY MARY JANE PARK PHOTOGRAPHS BY JAMES BORCHUCK

Choreographer and former New York City Ballet soloist principal dancer Philip Neal joined Tampa’s Next Generation Ballet and the Patel Conservatory in June, in time to direct NGB’s 2015 ballet summer intensive program. He succeeds Peter Stark, who resigned in February to take a position with the Boston Ballet. Age: 47. Occupation: Artistic director of Next Generation Ballet; dance department chair, Patel Conservatory.

Approach to programming: “That’s what I enjoy. It’s like putting together a puzzle: What’s going to entertain the community? What will feed the community? The role of the artistic director is to entertain the audience and to educate the audience. That’s a very Balanchine approach.”

Hometown: Born in Dallas; grew up in Richmond, Va. Residence: Downtown Tampa. “I walk to work. I have to. I’m spending all my time here (at the conservatory). The fourblock radius is great. I haven’t even been to Bern’s yet. (In New York) I worked at Lincoln Center, and I lived at Lincoln Center. My whole life existed in that little enclave.” Enthusiasm for dance in the Tampa Bay area: “I have walked into full auditoriums, and I am very heartened by that. Here, it’s very well sold.”

Developing a curriculum: “It’s constantly morphing and vastly different than when I was coming up in the ’80s. I liken it to Top Chef. That’s what’s happening in the dance world, a fusion of art and dance forms. We offer a variety of styles and let (students) decide what’s best for them.” Directing style: “A good teacher teaches; an excellent teacher inspires. I arrive immaculate, prepared and well-disciplined. I use a lot of humor, especially as a tool of empowerment. That helps conquer fear. They’re very literal-minded. They take everything to heart. There’s a certain amount I can pro-

tect them from, and then there’s burning your hand on a stove. You’re standing in front of a mirror all day long. It’s not about what you don’t have. It’s what you do have.” Confidence in the program: “When they leave here, they are very well-prepared. They’re used to being on their legs all day. No matter where I am in the world, I say ‘Straz,’ and people know it.” Patricia J. Sullivan Elementary School (formerly Metropolitan Ministries Partnership School), one of the Patel Conservatory’s outreach programs: “Every child at that school gets ballet lessons (free of charge from Patel Conservatory instructors). Ballet students do better academically. They learn from a young age to manage their time. They’re like a cat that lands on their toes. Dancers can do anything. (American Ballet Theatre principal dancer) Misty Copeland came up through Boys & Girls Clubs. I remember Misty. She really worked her way up. You know what they say: There’s nothing harder than getting to the top than staying at the top.”

Favorite music for choreography: “I’m all over the map. Rachmaninoff. Philip Glass. I also don’t rule out hip-hop. Thank god for Spotify. I used to go to Tower Records in New York and buy CDs and hope for the best.” Impressions of the area: “From New York, I moved to Palm Beach and then Miami (and then Tampa) because I’m a beach baby. For me, it’s sort of a novelty to be outside and swimming, riding a bike, jumping into the ocean. I lived in New York for so long, in a concrete jungle. I’m still excited to drive to the grocery store and load up at Costco.” Guilty pleasure: “Netflix. I do watch a lot of Mad Men. I’m watching it again. I got talked into watching Breaking Bad. Some of my students watch The Walking Dead. They think I look like Rick (Grimes, the lead character played by actor Andrew Lincoln).”

AT THE END OF THE DAY, A

CHIHULY

BRIGHTENS BY MARY JANE PARK PHOTOGRAPHS BY CHERIE DIEZ

A Dale Chihuly glass chandelier dominates the entry hall in the home of Neil and Coral Orkin. That’s Penny, their miniature Australian shepherd, in the foreground.

The entrance hall is a study in primary colors. Red, yellow and blue are prominent in the lithographs by Alexander Calder, Marc Chagall and Joan Miró and in a contemporary Borowski glass sculpture titled The Navigator Returns. Neil and Coral Orkin and their family moved into the St. Petersburg waterfront home in 2009. “There was so much space in here,” he said of the house, which has views of the Sunshine Skyway bridge. “It was relatively empty until 2012 and 2013.” The obvious showpiece in the foyer is End of Day, a substantial chandelier the family commissioned from Seattle area glass artist Dale Chihuly. “I love the lapis blue,” said Orkin, who is a commercial real estate developer. The family hosted a party to celebrate its installation last November, giving guests keepsake Chihuly art books as party favors. Joan Stonecipher, an art collector and previous owner of the home, also had a Chihuly during her residence there. Azul de Medianoche Chandelier now is housed at the Chihuly Collection in downtown St. Petersburg, a gift from Stonecipher to the 5-year-old gallery. As they negotiated the home sale, Orkin said, he attempted to acquire the blue fixture but was unwilling to pay the full asking price. The Orkins’ daughters, 12-year-old Ivy, 7-year-old Ava and 4-year-old Elle Mae, attend Shorecrest Preparatory School, which held a fundraising party at the Chihuly Collection, where the couple asked for the artist’s contact information.

The Beatles stuff is interesting because I never liked the Beatles (until he and Coral saw The Beatles LOVE, a Circque du Soleil production in Las Vegas).” NEIL ORKIN, whose collections include mementos from recording artists

The newer work has the same dimensions as its predecessor, Orkin said, with a several adjustments. “Some of the flutes and horns change,” he said of the twisting, curvy shapes that constitute the piece. The artist created a mockup of the structure, the family flew to Washington state to see it, “and we made a few changes there,” Orkin said. He described the artist as a generous host who helped get them a car and tickets to Chihuly Garden and Glass next to the Space Needle in Seattle, then gave the family one of his paintings. Six months later, two Chihuly staff members came to St. Petersburg, erected scaffolding and assembled and installed the chandelier over several days. As a boy growing up in New Jersey, near Philadelphia, Orkin often looked to the night skies. At age 47, he remains an avid stargazer, and he still has the first meteorite he used to start a collection that now numbers more than 100, all with verification. A sculptural interpretation of a telescope

by Clayton Swartz is installed outdoors at the rear of the estate. Travel has inspired the couple to extend their collections. A trip to Europe yielded a three-dimensional Patrick Hughes mixed-media triptych of a canal in Venice, Italy, that can dizzy viewers. A fine-art photograph by Peter Lik shows the Kalalau volcano erupting, a memento of a trip to Hawaii. The meteorites and album covers framed with authenticated materials used by rock performers such as Pink Floyd and the Beatles are on display in family rooms. “The Beatles stuff is interesting,” Orkin said, “because I never liked the Beatles” until he and his wife saw The Beatles LOVE, a Cirque du Soleil celebration of the Fab Four, on a trip to Las Vegas. Next, Orkin said, they hope to take their daughters on a vacation to Greece and Italy. Who knows what treasures they will add from a journey to the Mediterranean?

NEW CHOICES FOR BAY AREA SHOPPERS Pasco County gets a new retail destination on Oct. 29, when Tampa Premium Outlets opens near Wesley Chapel. Saks Off Fifth Fashion Outlet was the first tenant to be announced. Saks Fifth Avenue, which closed its WestShore Plaza location and opened a two-story department store in the Mall at University Town Center in Sarasota last year, has accelerated its Off Fifth brand. Designer brands coming to the mall include Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein and Vera Bradley. Adidas, a Banana Republic Factory Store, a Nike Factory store, Puma, Samsonite and others are among the more than 110 retailers set to open at the 441,000-square-foot outdoor shopping center. Others are Brooks Brothers Factory Store, Coach, Cole Haan, the Cosmetics Co., Disney Store Outlet, Ecco, Express Factory Outlet, Fossil, Gap Factory Outlet, Guess, Hartstrings, the Limited, Kitchen Collection, Luggage Factory, Motherhood Maternity, Pac Sun, Seiko, Tilly’s and Under Armour. “We are very excited to bring these great brands offering tremendous value to Tampa,” Stacey Nance, general manager of Tampa Premium Outlets, said in a statement. “Tampa Premium Outlets provides one-stop shopping, and these diverse retail offerings will appeal to our entire customer base, which includes not only southwest Florida residents, but tourists as well.” Tampa Premium Outlets will employ about 800, and cater to the family and suburban demographic of Lutz, Wesley Chapel and the surrounding communities. It is the latest addition to the retail growth along State Road 56 sparked by the Shops at Wiregrass, which opened near Interstate 75 in 2008. The new mall is at Grand Cypress Drive in Lutz, at the southwest corner of State Road 56 and Interstate 75. Many of the national retailers coming to Simon Property Group’s newest development mirror the lineup of Simon’s Ellenton Premium Outlets in Manatee County.

OCTOBER 2015

SarasotaMOD, the mid-century modern architecture festival, celebrates architect Paul Rudolph NOVEMBER 6 TO 8, hosted by the Sarasota Architectural Foundation Architect Paul Rudolph, the preeminent figure of the Sarasota School of Architecture movement, is the focus of MOD 2015. Not just for architects, this weekend will appeal to architecture lovers of all kinds. Events will be held in venues including Rudolph’s 1953 Umbrella House and the newly renovated 1960 Rudolph addition at Sarasota High School. Tours of homes will be available. The highlight of MOD 2015 is the official opening of the full-scale replica of Rudolph’s Walker Guest House on the grounds of The John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art. The original 24- by 24-foot structure was designed in 1952 for Walter Walker and built on Sanibel Island. Seminar presenters include architects Joe King and Christopher Domin, co-authors of Paul Rudolph: The Florida Houses, and Timothy Rohan, author of The Architecture of Paul Rudolph. C. Ford Peatross, founding director of the architectural archive at the Library of Congress, will moderate a panel discussion on Rudolph’s legacy. Other prominent architects will reflect on their professional relationships with Rudolph.

Eric Davis, artistic director and founder of Freefall Theatre in St. Petersburg, created his own one-man version of Shakespeare’s The Tempest. Photograph by Mike Wood Lighting Design

DATES TO REMEMBER It’s a new season for charity and social events in the Tampa Bay area: Page 146

A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS BY MARY JANE PARK

or The Tempest: Esta Isla es Mia, a Shakespeare adaptation in which he played every character, Eric Davis loaded in 9 tons of sand, delivered, and later removed, in wheelbarrows. More recently, audiences attending Freefall Theatre’s production of Mame experienced a tummy-roiling plunge on the Cyclone, the famous Coney Island roller coaster, courtesy of film footage projected across nine flat-screen televisions. That same technique, which Davis engineered, helped them ride to the hounds with the ebullient protagonist as she tried to make a favorable impression on her fian-

cee’s family. Through video and still imaging, theatergoers rode the subway, went window-shopping in Manhattan and observed cloud movements through the picture window of Mame’s resplendent apartment. Davis has the title of artistic director at Freefall, and he plays many additional roles on stage and behind the scenes. To say that he embodies the theater, housed in St. Petersburg’s former Second Church of Christ, Scientist, is an understatement. He is boundless in his adaptation of familiar plays and consistently challenges expectations. The Tempest: Esta Isla es Mia was an expression of Cuba’s struggles for independence.

For the world premiere of American Monkey, audience members were enlisted to audition before an American Idol-style panel of judges and encouraged to “vote” with their smartphones rather than to shut them off during the play’s duration. “I love stories, and I love fictional characters,” Davis said. “I love the way (a performance) brings people together right at that moment, and it will never happen again. It’s magical and ephemeral. It preserves literature in a vital, living way. Every performance of something is different because of an audience’s reactions.” Freefall is intimate compared with other performance venues in the region, a 50- by 50-foot square that Davis said gives him the freedom to change seating configurations. For One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest last year, he used immersive staging to put the audience in the middle of the action, a technique he also used in the company’s 2008 debut, The Wild Party, and in 2011’s Man of La Mancha. “It lets me create the entire space from the beginning,” he said. “It eliminates challenges, actually.” Musical productions, unless they are rock musicals, are performed without amplification. Through television, video streaming, music downloads and electronic games, he said, “so much of what we consume is not happening in real time. We have speakers in our cars and speakers in our homes. We are so accustomed to attending amplified shows. The sound at Freefall is always acoustic. There’s something sort of primal, especially hearing the human singing voice live and unencumbered. That’s pretty rare.” Davis, 41, came to the Tampa Bay area in the late 1990s, performing in the 1950s guy-group hit Forever Plaid at what was then the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center. A former teacher, he was director of musical theater at Blake School for the Arts in Tampa and artistic adviser of the theater department at the Patel Conservatory at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts. He also worked at St. Petersburg’s American Stage and directed Hair and Rent, the company’s hit outdoor productions in 2010 and 2011. “Most of my life revolves around the theater,” he said. “I love going to theater and other events as well: museums and the orchestra and opera.” He enjoys cooking and every season prepares a seven-course meal for Freefall’s Diamond

Dinner, which acknowledges the company’s highest-level donors. Each week, he considers a handful of new plays sent by playwrights and theatrical publishing houses; others he purchases in bookstores and online. Some of those he browses on a desktop computer, but mostly his choices are of the print variety. “When something is a work of art, like a book or a play, it deserves the paper,” he said. Planning for a new season is much like curating an art exhibition, he said. “There are always one or two pieces that stand out. We’re always looking to do something new, something classic, some great American play and some wild card. It’s quite a process.” This past season, which concluded with sellout audiences for Mame in August, organizers thought of as “escaping from reality.” The 2015-16 season will be evocative: “From individual memory to collective memory, from the things we remember to things we forget, from the truth to how we revise history, this season is peopled by characters looking to their pasts in order to face the future,” Davis wrote in publicity materials. “All have some element of memory and how things evolve with time in our memories,” he said. This month’s season opener is his adaptation of an Oscar Wilde classic that, as is his habit, will upend convention. Davis has titled it The Importance of Being Earnest With Zombies and describes it as a “satire on conventions and propriety (that) is even more biting when played against the Zombie apocalypse.”

next time BLENDING PAST INTO PRESENT Exquisite lace such as the delicate work in this vintage woman’s handkerchief is a rare commodity these days. Encased in glass, it takes on a more modern practicality. Use it to display seasonal decor, to hold perfume bottles atop a dresser or to serve hors d’oeuvres. Maruchi Azorin, who owns Villa Rosa Distinctive Linens in Tampa, has repurposed many such treasures. “I can’t make myself throw anything away,” she said. The boutique, which celebrated its 31st anniversary this year, offers fine textiles for bed, bath, kitchen and beyond — plus Tampa-themed mementoes for collectors. Look for a profile of Azorin, the creative force behind the boutique, in the November issue of Bay. — Mary Jane Park
