BUSY PLACE PLEASE PARDON our PAC staff while we take a deep breath. By my count, there are a whopping 70 performances scheduled in June, an all-time record. I believe the texting exclamation for that is “OMG!” Our house managers and stage technicians will especially need all our support and understanding as they will see almost no free time this month and not much of their families. With the continuous activity taking place at the PAC, time moves quickly, but we never forget John Scott those who have worked with us and for you. Max Fisher, longtime owner of Event Service, Inc., the usher service that staffed Chapman Music Hall events from 1977 to 2011, passed away in July 2011. We have been looking for a way to acknowledge his connection to the PAC and then working to acquire all the necessary City approvals to honor his 30 years of service. This month, we name the Third Street lobby coat check room for Max. We know him best for supplying our “yellow jacket” ushers, but Max was also a longtime public relations specialist who loved to perform on stage. He was a kind guy with a big heart who would extend deadlines for payment out of sympathy for organizations that had an occasional struggle. Always quick with a smile, Max was universally liked and respected. It is with pride that we unveil the Max Fisher Coat Room. This month’s events feature Disney’s The Lion King in Chapman Music Hall and SummerStage Tulsa 2013 in the downstairs theaters. This year’s SummerStage is highlighted by productions of LOOK Musical Theatre. Celebrating its 30th year, LOOK (formerly Light Opera Oklahoma) presents Hello, Dolly!, The Drowsy Chaperone and Side by Side by Sondheim. By no means, however, is that all there is to SummerStage. Check out the other diverse offerings elsewhere in Intermission, or at TulsaPAC.com. Thanks for all your support. I’ll see you in the lobby.

Q+A

Rebecca Ungerman Interview by Barry Friedman

Indulge me. I once met Allen Ginsberg at a conference, and over a half-dozen sugar cookies he told me that he never made more than $40,000 a year. Now this is Allen Ginsberg! So, before we start on your SummerStage shows, let’s talk, generally, about what it’s like being an artist in Tulsa. Were they special sugar cookies? Either way, that’s badass! Personally, I’ve never made 40 grand, but there’s always next year. [laughs] It’s been tough, financially speaking, and continues to be — an average of $150-$300 total for a duo. Private events like weddings and parties tend to go for 50 to 100% more, but are very infrequent. Most actors in Tulsa work for free. Nothing put me more in debt than creating The Unwitting Wife last summer. I do find that good work leads to better work and better pay. Being a Donald Fagin Guest Artist at the University of Tulsa recently, as music director for their production of Spring Awakening, was a treat for the soul, the resume, and the wallet.

Singer/songwriter/producer

Rebecca Ungerman is one of Tulsa’s most recognizable artists. Starting out in the mid-1990s as a solo act, she soon joined the musical group Blue Combo, a collection of disparate, opinionated personalities who mentored her musically and made her, as she says now, “a much more powerful entertainer than I ever dreamed of.” In August of 2011, after retiring as a Judaic educator and song leader, including a 25-year career with the B’nai B’rith Youth Organization, she turned her full attention to entertainment and her new production company, Spinning Plates Productions, Inc. No stranger to SummerStage Tulsa, Ungerman has mounted three original solo cabaret productions over the past few years. With friends and fellow artists Cindy Cain, P. Casey Morgan and Pam Van Dyke Crosby, she formed Sweet and Hot Productions, which produced three original musicals and one album, Backstage at the Midnight Social Club. In 2012, Spinning Plates Productions debuted its first original, three-show season for SummerStage. Ungerman has recorded six CDs of jazz, blues and original music. She just released her latest album, Spinning Plates of Jazz, which was featured in Downbeat Magazine. In 2012, she premiered her first musical, The Unwitting Wife, at the Tiberias International Theater Festival in Israel. 10

I NT ER M I S S I O N ~ J UN E 2 013

Nowadays, you are producing more than performing. You know, don’t you, you were put on this earth to sing, so what are you doing? And is there something you get out of producing that you don’t get out of performing? Yes, I do know that I’m always meant to sing and create music. That said, talent of all kinds excites me. In the last year or so, I’ve been working with more kids in their twenties. For my SummerStage series, a few of the TU students I worked with on Spring Awakening are working for me, including Mikal Hunt, Trey Barnett, Tara Moses, my set designer Shiloh Thaxton, and my production manager, graduating senior Rachel Synan. I’m honored that these young talents all wanted to work with me on my season, especially Mikal, who was my student at Theatre Arts in Broken Arrow when he was 12. I’ve been part of his artistic village for a decade now. He’s part of mine. How beautiful is that?

OK, about your Summer Stage shows… Why Cyn Sings Jazz is Cynthia Simmons’ first cabaret and, like many, autobiographical. I am producing and directing my exceedingly talented friend. Cyn is someone who has come to the world of professional singing a little later than most, but she’s a natural. Steven Schrag will accompany Cyn through her musical journey, with selections ranging from Patti Austin and Aretha Franklin to the Great American Song Book. I’m also producing Cyn’s first CD, which will be pre-sold at the show.

Q+A Queen Cleofis Comes Home is the culmination of an idea I’ve been developing for years: taking music from the Top 40 charts and turning it on its twisted, jazzy ear. I play the self-declared queen, a dotty, 60-something, ex-patriot who is to Krakow what Hasselhoff is to Heidelberg. Why she left the States is the crux of the story. This is her first concert in the U.S. in decades. She’s back, she’s batty and I think she’s brilliant. 84 Charing Cross Road, by Helene Hanff and adapted for the stage by James RooseEvans, is the true story of a relationship between New York television writer Hanff and the staff of a London bookseller that begins in the late 1940s and develops over the next 20 years. I saw it in London in 1982 when I was 16. It’s always been the first non-musical play I wanted to direct. It only took me 30 years!

On the cabarets, how do you set the mood? I find working a cabaret show in the Charles E. Norman Theatre a very easy thing, and I’ve done several over the years. It’s much like close-up magic. In my first cabaret show, Indulge Me, I had to ask my co-author, P. Casey Morgan, to explain a reaction I didn’t understand. There was a moment when I tossed aside a derby hat I had been using and the crowd gasped in horror when I did. I thought maybe I almost hit something. Turns out, they were reacting to an earlier story about my late mother sewing sequins on the original derby. Many, bewitched by the magic of this kind of storytelling, believed I was tossing a sacred relic.

Speaking of venues and those with whom you’ve performed, talk about your favorites in town. Ooh! Who should I piss off? But seriously, ladies and germs [laugh], I am truly blessed to have worked with countless talents in a lot of halls. Opening for Little Richard at the Cain’s Ballroom less than a month after joining Blue Combo was heady stuff. The Cain’s is my favorite stage in Tulsa, no question. Blue Combo itself was musical magic, if a bit dyspeptic offstage. I’ve had that kind of magic with a couple of uber-talented Jo(h) ns as well: John Sawyer and Jon Glazer. Steven Schrag is my current musical

brother. Hank Charles of Valcour Studios and I have been making music for 25 years, and we’ve just begun to hit it hard. Pam Van Dyke and Cindy Cain and I have a wicked, effortless blend both musically and as friends. Jay Garrett, an outstanding vibe player, and I recently found that we had “it.” I do a show, The Route 66 Playhouse, with Sam Jones — yeah, that Sam Jones [former KJRH anchor] — that is one of the coolest and most fun things I do. Locally, I would sing with Annie Ellicott over anyone, with the possible exception of Sarah Maud, whose first album I am also currently producing.

Deserted Island. Ten songs. Go. This may be your most difficult question. 1. “The Cumbia Medley” — Selena soundtrack 2. “Hallelujah, I Just Love Her So” — Ray Charles 3. “Spooky Mormon Hell Dream” — The Book of Mormon cast recording 4. “The Night Chicago Died” — Paper Lace [Friedman footnote: I checked to see if she was joking. Much to my horror, she was not.] 5. The “Born in a Trunk” medley — Judy Garland, A Star is Born 6. The “Vicki Edie” medley — Bette Midler, Live at Last 7. “I’m the Greatest Star” — Barbra Streisand, Funny Girl 8. “Good Old Desk” — Harry Nilsson 9. “My One & Only Love” — John Coltrane/Johnny Hartman 10.“The Huge Medley” — Ann Hampton Callaway/Liz Callaway

Your all-time favorite performer and the question you’d most like to ask him/ her? How do you pick? OK, it’s Bette Midler. I would ask if I could come work for her in any capacity. What she does when she performs live is the closest thing out there to what I’d love to do. Every concert has a bit of everything.

You’re politically active. Talk about how that manifests itself in your work. Talk about that in terms of living and working in Tulsa. Like my love life, it’s frustrating as hell, but I hold out great hope. Tulsa

is where things happen first in our state. We are the Paris, the London. The Tulsa Gridiron has become so popular, we are now considering doing the show twice a year, and I get to be a part of a Tulsa tradition of theater that pokes fun equally at the Right and the Left. We had five Tulsa mayors there on opening night! There are wonderful people and organizations out there in the world of the arts and in the LGBT community, but learning how to navigate and get concrete support is a challenge that is constantly evolving. I am dealing with this currently in regards to my musical, The Unwitting Wife, which is in development after going from conception to work-shopping in Israel over the course of six months last year. I have a show where the characters are three women: one straight, one lesbian and one bisexual. I know it’s an important story and a strong start, but the dollars it will take to turn this into a fully realized show are considerable. Oddly enough, banks don’t really give loans for this sort of thing. There is funding out there, but finding it when you are a one-person company is daunting. I will be paying off the debt I incurred to take The Unwitting Wife to Israel for some time to come. In the long run, it could be my financial salvation … or not. I could always write a one-hit wonder, I suppose. And there is always my ultimate fallback: longhaul trucker. Being a Democrat, lesbian, Jewish entertainer in Oklahoma isn’t easy, but this is the roof I, as fiddler, landed on.

Season of Strong-Willed Women by Eric Gibson

Paula Broadwater

or its 30th anniversary season, LOOK Musical Theatre is showcasing strong-willed, determined women in three deliciously different musicals.

HELLO, DOLLY! Dolly Gallagher Levi is a delightful character who bubbles with humor… on the surface. But on the inside, she is struggling to find a new beginning after the death of her husband, Ephram. She’s determined to find a better life with a bit more money. After all, she says, “Money is like manure; it’s no good unless you spread it around!” Georgia peach Paula Broadwater

Patrick Jacobs

I N T ER M I S S I O N ~ J UN E 2 013

will charm you with her interpretation of this classic golden-age character and the energy she and Patrick Jacobs, her Horace Vandergelder, create on the stage. Completing the cast of Hello, Dolly! is a chorus of new talent and returning favorites: Andrea Leap as Irene Molloy, Alixe Ward as Minnie Fay, TJ Bowlin as Cornelius and Pete Brennan as Barnaby. Musicals often contain plots that twist and turn in hilarious ways, and the cast of Hello, Dolly! lands in court in the middle of the second act. Who better than Judge Mark Barcus to play the role of a New York night court judge? Hello, Dolly! is based on Thornton Wilder’s play The Matchmaker, with music and lyrics by Jerry Herman. The original 1964 Broadway production won 10 Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

Andrea Leap

TJ Bowlin

THE DROWSY CHAPERONE The Drowsy Chaperone also contains strong-willed women — in the guise of cartoonish-ly broad characterizations. They are too funny to give away. All I can say is just come to the performances and be prepared to laugh. This 2006 Tony Award-winning musical within a comedy tells a simple story set in the decadent 1920s involving a debonair bridegroom, his stage-animal fiancée, and her champagne-guzzling chaperone. (That’s why she’s drowsy.) Also in the cast, according to the narrator, Man in Chair, are “a harried producer, jovial gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a flaky chorine, a Latin lothario, and an aviatrix! What more do you need for an evening’s entertainment?” The Drowsy Chaperone is a delight and, if you pay extra attention, you’ll notice how it pokes fun at musicals and operettas of days gone by, making it twice the fun! The cast includes many returning favorites and a few new names on the LOOK stage. Andrea Leap, making her 13th LOOK appearance, will “stagger” her way through the title role of the chaperone, joined by Pete Brennan as Robert the groom and Eric Gibson as Man in Chair in The Drowsy Chaperone

Alixe Ward as the bride, Janet. Judith MacDonald, not seen on the LOOK stage since moving to St. Louis in 2009, returns as Mrs. Tottendale alongside another Tulsa pro, Derick Snow, portraying her sidekick, Underling. New to the LOOK stage are Samantha Woodruff as Kitty, a wannabe leading lady, and me, Artistic Director Eric Gibson, as Man in Chair. It should all prove to be lots of fun!

SIDE BY SIDE BY SONDHEIM LOOK Musical Theatre has a fascination with Stephen Sondheim, so to present a work such as Side by Side by Sondheim, ripe with rich stories of women and men is a treasure! What’s fun about this show in particular is the discovery of what songs were cut or created for certain moments of shows, and how those moments evolved with the creative input of theater legends like Jerome Robbins, Harold Prince and Oscar Hammerstein, who was like a father to Sondheim. Side by Side is a delightful, funny, poignant look at many of Sondheim’s early shows compiled into a splashy revue/cabaret with witty commentary throughout. TJ Bowlin, the drama teacher at Bixby High School, will be featured as the narrator, along with one of the most talented Tulsa musicians ever at the piano, Cathy Venable. Cathy has been playing for LOOK for 20 seasons and even though she now lives and works as a Broadway accompanist in New York City, she still returns each summer to play for us. Side by Side features most of the LOOK company of actors, brought in from all over the country and from regional auditions at universities, to belt out dozens of famous Sondheim songs from his best- known shows, including Company, Sweeney Todd, Follies and A Little Night Music.

The

next door by Missy Kruse

The

title sounds like a sitcom. And while there is humor, there is also poignancy in The Boys Next Door, an insightful play about four mentally challenged men in a communal residence in New England and their closeto-burned-out social worker, Jack. Through its main characters — the hyperactive, impulsive, obsessivecompulsive Arnold (Troy Sartors) who is the group’s tacit ringleader; the brilliant schizophrenic Barry (Johnathan Aultman), who envisions himself as a golf pro; the child-like Lucien (Reuben Wakefield), who yearns to read and who delivers a moving second-act monologue; and the romantic doughnut shop worker Norman (Jeff Hammans) — playwright Tom Griffin shows us that everyone yearns for love, acceptance and understanding. In a series of scenes and vignettes, The Boys Next Door “allows the audience to get a peek into things they may not be familiar with,” says Andrea Campfield, who directs this SummerStage Tulsa production for Sand Springs Community Theatre. The two-act play goes inside the minds of these men, who often break character to speak eloquently to the audience about their hopes, dreams and fears. “When Lucien speaks outside of himself… he reminds us ‘We are here; we are part of the population’ for no other reason than to remind you of what you fear,” says Campfield. And there are beautiful moments when Norman and his girlfriend Sheila are at a dance, speaking to the audience as if they were a “normal” couple. A fairly new entrant into the local community theater scene, Sand Springs

Community Theatre has no theater home, but generally performs at Charles Page High School or at outdoor venues for its three-a-year family-friendly plays. Its appearance at SummerStage is its first outof-town production and “we are honored to be a part of it,” Campfield says. Some of the group’s regular actors have wanted to do The Boys Next Door since the organization formed in 2007, “but we needed the right group of actors, because it is primarily an all-male cast,” she explains. This production will be particularly genuine because Bryan Walker, a former social worker, is playing the part of Jack. “Part of the reason he auditioned for the role is because he knows it so well,” Campfield says. Jack has his own issues, and over the two-month time span of the story, he wrestles with his personal

demons. Even though he has a calling for social work, it comes with exhausting demands, challenges and frustrations. “That is part of the catalyst for the play. He’s trying to come to terms with what he needs versus what these guys need,” she adds. Because of the sensitive subject matter, Campfield says the troupe had a lot of discussions about the tone of the show and how to portray its characters with dignity. “It’s a comedy; it’s definitely funny; it’s life. It’s also never to be a parody. It’s something we want to present as sincerely as possible.”

The Boys Next Door Presented by Sand Springs Community Theater June 21-22 at 8 p.m. June 23 at 2 p.m.

Fire

QUEST FOR

by Shirley Elliott

ire warms us. It lights the darkness. And it mesmerizes us. Who hasn’t had the experience of staring into a fire and getting lost in its mercurial nature? Slowly we forget to think about the weary world and its nagging troubles, and we enter a place of mental clarity. So there’s the metaphor. The mission of the Tulsa Performing Arts Center Trust is to capture fire and bring it to the stages of the Performing Arts Center in hope of providing emotional warmth, spiritual illumination and intellectual thought. We seek performances that sizzle and pop as well as those that glow like hot embers. For 2013 and 2014 we have laid a fire of music, theatre and dance that we hope will spark and combust. That is our mission and our quest.

This season nothing gets much hotter than the blues. We begin with the World Blues Tour featuring legendary Mississippi Delta blues icon and Grammy Award winner Taj Mahal and “the Voice” of South Africa, Vusi Malahsela. The World Blues Tour celebrates the global influence of American blues music as seen from three very diverse points of view and three international points of origin. Mahal and Malahsela explore the intersection of African and American musical forms. Joining them is Fredericks Brown, from New Zealand, featuring Taj’s daughter Deva Mahal. Tickets are $25-$60; discounts for students and seniors 62+.

For a flash of creative brilliance, enter the weird but glorious world of Imago Theatre’s Frogz. Imago’s hard-to-define productions are a blend of theatre and circus. Their signature production, Frogz, populates the stage with oversized characters and beings that perform vignettes of physical comedy and visual charm. Penguins compete in musical chairs, larvae do handstands and frogs play leap … well, you get the idea. The New York Times describes Frogz as “a mastery of mime, dance and acrobatics.” Frogz will warm audiences as young as age three. Tickets are $25-$30; discounts for students, seniors 62+ and Imagination Series subscribers.

Sparks fly as four extremely caffeinated young dancers burn up the floor in Feet Don’t Fail Me Now! by Rhythmic Circus. Feet began as an underground percussive dance phenomenon and has risen to one of the most popular tap shows to hit the international stage. A six-piece band accompanies rapid-fire tap dancers with music from funk to blues, rock to salsa. Feet won the Spirit of the Fringe Award, the top prize at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, in 2012 and will soon open off-Broadway. Rhythmic Circus promises to leave even the biggest grump in the audience with a smile, so bring your husband. Tickets are $25-$30. Discounts for students and seniors 62+.

CHAPMAN MUSIC HALL

For a warm fire and a hot toddy try Flipside: The Patti Page Story, a musical about Oklahoma’s own Clara Ann Fowler, who rose to international fame in the 1940s as “The Singing Rage” – Miss Patti Page. Written by Greg White of the University of Central Oklahoma, Flipside is based on personal interviews with Ms. Page and features 28 of Page’s hits including “Tennessee Waltz” and “Mocking Bird Hill.” The story moves back and forth in time as well as in and out of memories. Fowler got her start in Tulsa with KTUL radio as the singing spokesperson for Page Milk Company. Taking Page as her stage name, she went on to sell over 100 million records in the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s. Tickets are $25-$50; discounts for students and seniors 62+.

As for combustion, how about blowing up the Death Star or fighting Darth Vader with a light saber? A few years ago, in a garage far, far away, comedian Charles Ross decided to put his Star Wars obsession to good use and now performs the original trilogy One Man Star Wars

in a light-speed 60-minute one-man show — voices, sound effects, sound track and all. Thanks to Ross’ dazzling, detailed performance and off-the-wall humor, One Man Star Wars has been a theatrical “force” throughout the international Fringe galaxy. One Man Star Wars is suitable for sci-fi nerds of all ages and aliens over 65. Wookies welcome. Tickets are $25.

In his search for inspiration, he begins reading the biography of British explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, who kept 27 men alive for two years after their ship, Endurance, was crushed by ice in Antarctica. Both stories are told simultaneously by four brilliant young actors who also collaborated to create the play. Endurance illustrates the qualities of true leadership and the power of optimism. Tickets are $28. A final attribute of fire is regeneration. Even a destructive forest fire is nature’s way of clearing away the old so that the new may germinate, take root and start growing. Theatre, dance, music and art share that attribute. The words we hear, the actions we witness and the music that fills our souls burns away the old so that the new may germinate. What we gain from that effect is so much more than what we lose.

SUMMERSTAGE TULSA

JANET RUTL AND

THE PL AYHOUSE TULS A

VOCALIST Janet Rutland’s ninth cabaret show for SummerStage Tulsa features music by some of the most celebrated songwriters of our time, including Stephen Sondheim and Burt Bacharach, as well as the prolific work of perhaps lesser-known writers like John Pizzarelli and Dave Frishberg. “I’ve had a few songs in my hip pocket for some time that didn’t really fit into my previous themed shows,” says Rutland. “This time the criteria are that, in addition to being material I love, the songs must be from current (living) writers.” Popular piano man Scott McQuade will accompany Rutland.

THE PLAYHOUSE TULSA debuts an original adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s beloved story Little Women. Written by Cody Daigle (William and Judith) and commissioned exclusively for Playhouse Tulsa, Little Women tells the story of the four March sisters, Meg (Anna Bennett), Jo (Tabitha Littlefield), Beth (Courtney Farney) and Amy (Grace Stump). Courtneay Sanders, last seen at the PAC as Corrie in Barefoot in the Park, portrays the girls’ mother, “Marmee.” The family’s handsome young neighbor, Laurie, is played by Tyler Humphries. The rest of the cast includes John Knippers as Laurie’s father, Mr. Laurence, and Barbara Murn as Aunt March. Set in the American Civil War years and filled with humor, heartbreak and hope, Little Women is a timeless tale about the power of family, friendship and love.

APPASSIONATA DUO IN CONCERT

MISCHIEVOUS SWING IN CONCERT ROOTED IN TRADITION, but also deeply committed to innovation, Mischievous Swing is a refreshing voice in both jazz and acoustic genres. Covering the rich scope of jazz, the quartet’s music invites you to experience the rhythms of Latin America, the sounds of French cafes and gypsy camps, and the swing of jazz clubs in New York, Chicago and Kansas City. Mischievous Swing is made up of Isaac Eicher, known nationally for his prowess in mandolin contests; violinist Shelby Eicher, who was a member of Roy Clark’s band for 15 years; virtuosic gypsy-jazz guitarist Ivan Peña; and bassist Nathan Eicher, who holds a master’s degree in jazz studies. Bound together by family and deep musical friendship, this is a tight band that celebrates the joy of making music.

APPASSIONATA’s debut performance at the PAC resulted in the first ever “screaming standing ovation” for the Brown Bag It concert series. Now this provocative duo is back to perform pop and rock hits as you’ve never heard them before: on viola and harp. Listen as Tulsa Symphony musicians Jeff Cowen and Jill Wiebe put a new spin on the music of Michael Jackson, The Beatles, Queen, Journey and more. From “Bohemian Rhapsody” to “Eleanor Rigby,” Appassionata performs iconic tunes that have shaped the history of pop and rock music, as well as modern hits such as “Yellow” by Coldplay. Experience a unique afternoon with the region’s only viola and harp duo as they perform today’s hits with the elegance of classical instruments. July 14 at 4 p.m.

NATIVE WOMEN’S VOICES: SOFKEE FOR THE SOUL SOFKEE IS A NATIVE AMERICAN food similar to grits, often kept in a big crock on the floor beside the stove. Just as sofkee is a sustaining food, eaten in the winter months, art and the art form of playwriting feed the soul of an artist playwright. Native American Women’s Voices: Sofkee for the Soul is an exploration work on hearing new voices emerge, hearing how Native women are sustaining themselves and experiencing the world of Native identity through playwriting. How are Native

women feeding their souls? How are they sustaining their connection to community through writing? What’s going on in Indian Country and the border regions?

THE ATRE TULS A

PORTICO DANS THE ATRE

BASED ON THE best-selling book by the same name, Children’s Letters to God is a musical that follows the lives of several young friends as they voice beliefs, desires, questions and doubts common to all people but most disarmingly expressed by children. The tuneful music and delightful story, based on actual letters, explore timeless issues in a humorous and often poignant way. This entertaining show carries a universal message that crosses the boundaries of age, geography and religion. A spirited cast of some of Tulsa’s most talented youth performers brings this show to life with live music and energetic staging.

COMBINED MINDS is a cross-disciplinary performance using new aerial apparatuses, large-scale installation art, and multiple dance styles to illustrate a troubled young girl’s mind. The production features children in a twisted tale of toys coming to life and controlling the mind of a bullied girl. Similar to the Russian ballet Petrushka, the story shows toys that develop emotions, but pushes further by having the toys help plot revenge on the girl’s bully. This production marks the first time Portico Dans Theatre’s aerial dancers will use lyra (for carousel horses) and bungee cords (for a jack-in-the-box). Additional aerialists portray monkeys on aerial silks. Original video by Jeff Anderson and large-scale installation art pieces by renowned artist Glenn Herbert Davis create a dynamic set.

AFTER DAZZLING AUDIENCES all over the world with her performances, receiving international acclaim, and having taught dance as well, Vidhya Subramanian continues to bring tremendous energy and dedication as a Bharatanatyam artist. Known for modern themes and strong choreography, her performances have been an important part of many cross-cultural events in India and other countries. As artistic director of Lasya Dance Company, she has choreographed and directed several full-length, short ensemble and solo pieces, and has expanded the outreach of Bharatanatyam through collaborations with artists representing other styles of dance.
