定义发展:成为
一出CFA的戏剧在InCite的外百老汇上演
Before Maxine Eloi started her 另类春假 work with the 男同性恋的健康危机 in New York City this week, she went to see her classmates, students in the College of 美术 school of theatre, on stage。
Eloi (CFA’13) and her ASB group attended the Sunday performance of diventare, directed by Ellie Heyman (CFA’11) and written by Jenny Rachel Weiner (CFA’09), at the New World Stages, on West 50th St。 in New York City。
表演专业的艾洛伊说:“我认为这部电影的视觉效果和演技都非常出色。” “灯光传达着不同的情绪,手电筒看起来就像角色的光环。”
The play was part of the College of 美术 third annual 激越艺术节, themed What’s Past Is Prologue。 为期一周的节日特色表演,展览,电影放映和其他活动在曼哈顿周围的场地。
“这太酷了,因为作为一名学生,我很荣幸我们的节目能去纽约,”埃洛伊说。 “这让我很震惊。 我为舞台上的前辈们感到骄傲,因为这是他们的事业,他们的事业从现在开始。”
Forging connections to a great arts scene was the last thing on Weiner’s mind when she began writing diventare, under the CFA school of theatre’s New Play Initiative。
三年前的夏天,在一个写作研讨会上,韦纳的导师让她选择两个人物、一个物体和一个地方。 人物是琳达和比尔,地点是圣奥古斯丁,物件是钟——这就是 diventare。
“这是非常快的。 我不知道我为什么要选这些东西,”韦纳说。 “我几乎觉得是剧本写了我。 这个过程不是从一个想法开始的,而是从一种感觉、一种经历开始的。”
Later, in her junior year, Weiner had to pick an object that hated her, and write about it for a class with playwright Lydia R。 Diamond (GRS’09), a CFA assistant professor, whose 棒飞 is being produced by the Huntington Theatre Company, in residence at BU, at the Boston Center for the Arts through March 21。
韦纳在佛罗里达的家乡经历了飓风袭击的远程影响。 她说:“所以我从窗户被打破的角度写了一段独白。” “And that monologue is in the hurricane scene in diventare。” The production focuses on a mother who escapes loss by retreating into an underwater fantasy world。
The play, which Heyman calls diventare four, reflecting the number of rewrites, flourished under collaboration in Weiner’s senior year and has been shown at festivals like CFA’s Fringe Festival and InCite, as well as being CFA’s official entry in the 肯尼迪中心美国大学戏剧节。 虽然韦纳在芝加哥追求戏剧艺术,但她觉得把剧本交给海曼很舒服。
“就剧本的发展和成长而言,埃莉一直是我不可或缺的一部分,”韦纳说。 “我在舞台上提供了帮助,在戏剧的生活方式上,我们一起发现了它。”
Following diventare, the theme of the harsh reality of grief was echoed in Sunday’s performance of 安提戈涅。 In the one-act opera, composed by Marjorie Merryman, a former CFA faculty member, conducted by William Lumpkin, a CFA associate professor, and directed by Jim Petosa, director of the school of theatre, 安提戈涅 is faced with the deaths of her two brothers, who have killed each other in battle。 一个是被他们的叔叔克瑞翁羞辱,他认为他不值得埋葬。
安提戈涅根据索福克勒斯(Sophocles)的戏剧改编而成的,是由波士顿大学的当代音乐合奏团ALEA III委托创作的。 这部作品由波士顿大学歌剧学院和波士顿大学室内管弦乐团的学生出演。 在最小的布景下,歌剧序曲在音乐合奏团面前表演,两者共享舞台。
The InCite festival also included 团聚, an exhibition by school of visual arts alumni, the Redstones NYC, a screening from the Redstone Film Festival, and production and design exhibitions from the school of theatre。
