From the publishers of

Welcome to the latest issue of Premiere OC, the only mag-azine dedicated to the performing and visual arts in Southern California.

It’s an exciting time of year, as our local cultural institutions—large and small—will present innovative performances and exhibitions to suit every taste. And in the pages of Premiere OC, you can get a taste of all of them: music, theater, dance, art, and more. In every area, we recommend some “don’t-miss” performances and shows and profi le the people and institutions that help bring them to life. And this is especially true where there is a changing of the guard—be sure to check out our stories on John Mangum, the new president and artistic director of the Philharmonic Society of Orange County, and Todd DeShields Smith, the new CEO and director of the Orange County Museum of Art.

My advice is to explore new places, venues, and art forms that you will read about in this issue. Start with the Segerstrom Center for the Arts, home to world-renowned Broadway touring shows, dance, and music (including maestro Carl St.Clair’s 25th anniversary season—read our interview on page 28). But your arts journey shouldn’t end in Costa Mesa. You will fi nd innovative programming throughout Orange County, including Irvine, Laguna Beach, Aliso Viejo, Orange, Fullerton, and the growing arts community in Santa Ana. Finally, don’t be afraid to battle the traffi c and visit the cultural institutions in Long Beach and Los Angeles—it’s worth the effort!

So, enjoy this issue of Premiere OC. I hope it motivates you to experience the arts in our community and to truly “feed your soul.”

Sincerely,

Christopher O. SchulzPresident and Publisher

How do you get from the Orange County School of the Arts to Broadway? The hard way, say five center-stage grads. These per-

formers—all OCSA alumni—have been cast in some of the biggest shows on and off-Broadway. The work and rejection have made them tough, and it’s been much more difficult to succeed than they imagined. But they also wouldn’t trade their lives for any other. When they occasionally return to their alma mater to give students the hard facts, they offer encouragement, too. After all, some Broadway dreams do come true.

Liindsaaay MMeendeezClass of ’01Elphaba in “Wicked”Then: Norwalk Now: Manhattan Broadway Debut: Jan, a member of the Pink Ladies, in “Grease” Other Work: Off-Broadway show “Dogfight.” “Doing that show is how I ended up doing ‘Wicked,’ because director Joe Mantello was doing ‘Wicked,’ as well. ‘Dogfight’ transformed me as an actor and as a per-son.” Dream Versus Reality: “I could never dream I would do all the amazing things I’ve gotten to do. I feel so lucky.” Best Lesson from OCSA: “Because there were so many different departments [at the school], I really got a sense of the art as a whole.” Last Word: “This is a hard life.”It’s a wonderful life, but you have to really, really Sccott BBarnharddtClass of ’97The ensemble of “The Book of Mormon”Then: Tustin Now: Upper Manhattan Broadway Debut Memory: “Whether or not I ever performed on Broadway again, no one could ever take that experience [“Big River”] away from me. Other Work: “The Boyfriend,” directed by Julie AndrewsDream Versus Reality: “This ‘Mormon’ experience has fulfilled the childhood dream to perform nightly for a sold-out crowd, to be on a Tony Award-winning show. ‘Mormon’ has ruined me for the rest of my career.”Best Lesson from OCSA: “Endurance. The schedule was so bananas.” Last Word: “I’m still surprised at the workload. It’s impressive what we do.”

KKKrystaaa RooddriguuezClass of ’02Casey in the musical “First Date” Then: OrangeNow: Manhattan Broadway Debut: “Good Vibrations” Broadway Debut Memory: “It was our third preview. They asked, ‘Who is Janet’s understudy?’ She had got-ten food poisoning from dinner. I said, ‘Me.’ And they said, ‘You’re going on.’ I was literally pushed onstage.” Other Work: Wednesday in the stage version of “The Addams Family”; “Spring Awakening”; NBC’s drama series “Smash.” Best Lesson from OCSA: “You learn how to be the lead. You learn rejection. And while there, you get to play parts you aren’t going to get to play [pro-fessionally] because you’re a kid.”

Sttephaaniee BlocckkClass of ’90Sheryl, the mother, in “Little Miss Sunshine”Then: Brea Now: New Jersey Broadway Debut: Originated the role of Liza Min-nelli in “The Boy From Oz,” opposite Hugh Jackman Other Work: Elphaba in “Wicked,” Judy Bernly in “9 to 5” Dream Versus Reality: “It’s been much more ful-filling, and I’ve been given opportunities to play so many different characters. Now that I’m older, it’s about the day in and day out, and not the end result or the awards ceremony.” Best Lesson from OCSA: “Respect happened at that school. I was lucky enough to be in it the second or third year after it opened … We were there because we desperately wanted to be there.”

EErrik AlltemmuusClass of ’05Lewis in “Pippin”Then: Rancho Santa MargaritaNow: BrooklynBroadway Debut Memory: “Our first preview of ‘Pippin.’ I finished the opening [group] number, ‘Magic to Do,’ and we all pose at the end with our heads bowed. My friends were screaming for so long we all started laughing.”Other Work: Matt in the off-Broadway revival of “The Fantasticks”; TV pilot “The Miraculous Year,” directed by Kathryn BigelowLast Word: “People say you don’t have a guarantee [in the theater]. If you accept that it’s not something to be afraid of, it’s exciting.”

Clockwise, from top left: Stephanie Block (far left) in “Little Miss Sunshine”; Scott Barnhardt (“The Book of Mormon”); Krysta Rodriguez and Zachary Levi in “First Date”; Erik Altemus in “Pippin”


so that the audience is hurled into the world along with the characters,” Posner says of the show, which is produced in association with Harvard University’s American Repertory Theater and the Smith Center in Las Vegas. “This is a production that Shakespeare scholars are responding to and loving. But we’re doing it as much or more for the 10-year-old kids.”

As Teller has put it: “After all, ‘The Tempest’ is a story about a magician—there ought to be some magic in the darn thing!”

The theater magic is inescapable this fall when top illusionists add real sorcery to South Coast Repertory’s season-opening production of

Shakespeare’s “The Tempest,” which runs through Sept. 28.

Adapter-directors Aaron Posner and Teller (of magi-comics Penn and Teller) have united the talents of Tom Waits, magician Johnny Thompson, and the Pilobolus dance troupe to reimagine the story of Prospero and his enchanted island. After being overthrown and set adrift with his daughter, Pros-pero lands on a deserted isle where he masters his magic until he can shipwreck and turn the tables on his enemies.

“It’s using the vocabulary of the magic show, of actual magic tricks, to fulfill the magic in the play

Take a child to their first play or musical and their sense of wonder is evident: wide eyes, excited gasps of breath, kneeling in the seat to get a better view.

“Some of our most joyful childhood memories are often connected to time spent at the theater,” says Terry Dwyer, president of Segerstrom Cen-ter for the Arts. “Whether it be from studying, performing or attending a show, the work of gifted artists can inspire a sense of creativity and innovation that can last a lifetime.”

The center offers two programs for families: the Discovery Series for children ages 4 to 8 and the Explorer Series aimed at older kids. The pro-gramming for each season can include musicals and multimedia plays, with at least a few shows staged by international theater companies. Next door to the center, South Coast Repertory has Theatre for Young Audiences for children ages 4 and older. Among the three shows offered

each year there’s usually at least one character familiar to families from children’s books, such as Junie B. Jones or Anastasia Krupnik. Laguna Playhouse also has a Youth Theatre season for elementary and middle-school students, as well as a Theatre for a New Generation play offered annually for teens. The Irvine Barclay Theatre sprinkles in family-friendly shows among its lineup as well.

Outside of professional stages, community theaters can also present musicals during their season lineups that would be appropriate for children and families. Some to check out include 3-D Theatricals in Fuller-ton, the Huntington Beach Playhouse, and the Costa Mesa Playhouse.

DanceBallet Memphis


To mark the 10th anniversary of the Laguna Dance Festival this year, the organization celebrated with a June performance at Seven Degrees and has a lineup planned for the next few months

that offers something for everyone.This year’s festival spans two weeks with a few days of performances.

The lineup includes Ballet Memphis, BODYTRAFFIC, Complexions Con-temporary Ballet, and guest artists such as American Ballet Theatre’s Misty Copeland and San Francisco Ballet’s Lorena Feijoo. There also are

master classes, which began in March, taught by talents such as Sal-eemah E. Knight, Gonzalo Garcia, and Complexions Contemporary Bal-let, and a gala and artist reception after the Sept. 14 performance. Board President Joy Dittberner laughs when she says, “We have the best galas because we have professional dancers.”

Although Dittberner has worked with the festival for only three years, she was an audience member from the beginning and has plenty of mem-ories to share. “I remember when I went to the first one and they were dancing at the high school. I’m thinking, ‘How good could this be?’” she says. “And I was so blown away by it. I thought, ‘These are the best dancers in the world right here dancing on a high school stage.’ Friends wanted to sit on the side to leave during intermission, then they said, ‘It was like going to the Kennedy Center!’”

“If you haven’t come, come and experience it. Go to the website, check out the type of dance you want to see, and buy a ticket. Feed your soul.”

—Joy Dittberner

Festival NotesThere’s a lot of dance to see. Here’s a guide to watching it all:

Sept. 4: The festival joins with First Thursdays Art Walk to present the work of female choreographers at local galleries.

Sept. 6: Performer/choreographer Saleemah E. Knight leads a master class—you can participate or observe.

Sept. 11 and 12: Ballet Memphis and BODYTRAFFIC perform, respectively.

Sept. 13: Another master class, this one with New York City Ballet’s Gonzalo Garcia.

Sept. 13 and 14: The festival’s gala performances, with a full roster of companies and guest dancers. The world premiere of the full work of “Ekphrasis,” a collaboration between the festival, Laguna Art Museum, and Laguna Beach Live!, takes place during the Sept. 13 show.

Sept. 14:Complexions Contemporary Ballet.

Some Assembly Required

New collaborative wants to create a community for dance

The Assembly is a recently formed dance collective in Orange County

Dance

Last April, the banquet hall of the Neighborhood Congregational Church in Laguna Beach was the site for the debut of one of Orange County’s new-

est, and most interesting, dance companies. The Assembly is a collaborative company of art-

ists who produce dance-based events. Co-directed by Delyer Anderson and Lara Wilson, The Assem-bly presented works by three local choreographers in the church hall, which was specially set up with lights and seats to create a dance venue. Ander-son premiered a new piece, “Fireline,” Wilson con-tributed a work in progress, which incorporated a

monologue, called “The Bacchanal: Or, She Didn’t Feel a Thing,” and Amythyst Fritzler presented her trio, “Relativity.”

“Our goals for the organization are to get more art-ists of various mediums involved and to continue to organically build a community,” says Wilson, who’s also Orange Coast’s events editor. “We want to inform dance audiences by continuing to make considered, forward-thinking work and providing an environment where people can experience and talk about dance.” Plans are in the works for a show featuring an evening-length piece.

The stars have aligned for a stellar 2014–2015 Season at Segerstrom Center for the Arts. The list of concert, cabaret and jazz artists on the schedule is long, and just a few to watch for in the months ahead are Tony Bennett, Johnny Mathis, Dianne Reeves and Gregory Porter, Laura Benanti, Kurt Elling, Ann Hampton Callaway and many others.

There are many discoveries to be made in the season ahead. Segerstrom Center dance fi rsts include the Mikhailovsky Ballet—fi rst time at the Center and performing the spectacular The Flames of Paris with a cast that features the explosive and charismatic Ivan Vasiliev. Tango Buenos Aires returns with a work never before seen at the Center, a tribute to the legendary Argentine First Lady: Song of Eva Perón. American Ballet Theatre is back with the world premiere of its new production of The Sleeping Beauty, and the Eifman Ballet of St. Petersburg with its take on F. Scott

Fitzgerald’s masterpiece, Tender is the Night.

In many cases, we’ve heard about them, read about them and seen them on the Tony Awards® from New York, but now and in short order we can see live and in person the Tony Award-winning Best Musical Kinky Boots and the hit-tune-after-hit-tune show, Motown The Musical. Waiting in the wings are new productions of Pippin, Annie, Nice Work if You Can Get It, Guys and Dolls and a lavish new Phantom of the Opera. Plan to arrive early and stay late for every production because each one has fun and entertaining activities, exhibits and photo opportunities themed to each show located throughout the lobbies.

Center holiday plans are already in place. The month of December will be particularly festive when Judy Collins arrives with her Holidays and Hits concert and Fiesta Navidad with Mariachi Los Camperos returns. Mark your calendars for the Center premiere of Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical and Celtic Woman: Home for Christmas—The Symphony Tour.

For the family that plays together, don’t miss a single show in the Center’s Family Series. These are theater companies from around the world that present performances perfect to enjoy as a family while introducing youngsters to the magic and fun of live theater.

SpotlightSalwa Rizkalla

As Festival Ballet Theatre’s artis-tic director, Rizkalla is responsi-ble for each season’s programming, which consists of a full-length bal-let, a show of classical and contem-porary repertoire, the annual Gala of the Stars, and the popular “The Nutcracker.” Each season also brings a passel of dance world stars, such as Julie Kent and Fabrice Calmels, to perform with the Fountain Val-ley company.

“I always feel a principal role needs to have principal dancers. It’s good for my dancers to see how principal performers work, the way they prepare themselves. Most of our guest artists I have known through the years, but I always keep connect-ing with new dancers coming up—the ballet world is a small world. We have a wonderful setting in Orange County with the Irvine Barclay The-atre, and they enjoy the experience when they come here. Their partic-ipation in our performances is an outreach. They are doing more than just performing; they are sharing their knowledge—when they work with young dancers, they share their best with them, and they nourish our ballet company.”

Sept. 18: The young performers of Fullerton’s Ballet Folklorico Monte Alban carry on the traditions of Mexican dance; this show will help the group raise money for the production costs of future perfor-mances (Muckenthaler Cultural Center).

Sept. 25 through 27: Backhausdance broadens the scope of Shakespeare Orange County-Summerfest Orange County’s program-ming with a show of the contemporary-dance company’s well-known pieces, plus new works (Garden Grove Amphitheater).

Sept. 29 and 30: Learn more about the life and career of one film’s most iconic dancers in “Gene Kelly: The Legacy,” a presentation by Patricia Kelly, his wife and biographer (Laguna Playhouse).

Oct. 11 and 12: Choreographer Michael Clark says rock music has “been vital to me at a personal level; it has shaped me as an individual as well as an artist.” See those influences at work in the Michael Clark Company’s U.S. premiere of “come, been and gone,” which uses the music of David Bowie, Iggy Pop, and others (Irvine Barclay Theatre).

Nov 28 through 30: The drama of the French Revolution ignites “The Flames of Paris,” a new production of the 1932 ballet staged by Mikhailovsky Ballet of St. Petersburg, Russia (Segerstrom Center for the Arts).

Dec. 12 through 24: Visions of sugar plum fairies are sure to dance through your head after seeing Festival Ballet Theatre’s sump-tuous production of “The Nutcracker,” which, per tradition, will fea-ture top guest dancers in the leading roles (Irvine Barclay Theatre).

Jan. 25: The Vibe Dance Competition has mushroomed from a small event put on by a UC Irvine fraternity into one of the largest show-cases for hip-hop dance, with some of the genre’s top groups making their mark here over the years, including Jabbawockeez, Poreotics, and UCI’s own Kaba Modern (Segerstrom Center for the Arts).

8TH ANNUAL

WINE TASTING BENEFIT FOR THE WOODEN FLOOR

Danceis the Answer

“When I think about it, if I hadn’t had The Wooden Floor, I’d probably be in jail, or I’d probably be dead, or maybe on the streets,” says Jossue, a recent alum of The Wooden Floor in Santa Ana, which is using the transformative power of dance to change the lives of Orange County’s under-served youth.

This fall, thanks to The Wooden Floor’s long-term investment in its students, Jossue will attend Northern Arizona University to study nursing in the hopes of working for an international aid organization.

The reason why Jossue and many other students have seen such success can be attributed to The Wooden Floor’s commitment to dance education that values exploration, discovery, and innovation, which is strategically integrated with academic, college preparatory, and family service programs.

“Contemporary dance is our real differentiator,” states Artistic Director and Co-CEO, Melanie Ríos Glaser. “It has the ability to encourage greater curiosity and attentiveness, develops creative problem solving, and promotes discipline and motivation.”

Since 2005, 100% of The Wooden Floor’s senior class members have graduated high school on time and gone on to pursue higher education—a rate about three times the national average for their socio-economic peers. Learn more at www.TheWoodenFloor.org

is nothing short of remarkable,” says Pacifi c Symphony President John Forsyte. “Pacifi c Symphony is the largest orchestral institution founded in the U.S. in the last 50 years. As a nonprofi t, Carl has ensured that it is not only artistically vibrant, but walking lockstep with the growth of Orange County.”

The celebration of St.Clair’s tenure will offi cially begin in late September at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts during the opening night of the symphony’s season, titled “Journey of Illumination.”

St.Clair has carefully created a season with deep meaning for him. He will be joined by his friends, many of whom are the classical music world’s biggest luminaries. The major stars who will be part of the celebration include perhaps the three biggest names in classi-cal music—Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman, and Joshua Bell, the classical violinist who will open the season Sept. 25.

Other stars expected are Deborah Voigt, Andre Previn, Dawn Upshaw and fi lm composer James Newton Howard. St.Clair has strong personal and professional relationships with many of them, but he has also developed an extraordinary bond with the musicians of the symphony, most of whom he has selected during his tenure.

“This incredible chapter in my life and career has been fi lled with myriad unforgettable moments,” St.Clair says. “But the greatest gift has been the opportunity to work, rehearse, record, and perform with the dedicated musicians of the Pacifi c Symphony. During the 25th season, I look forward to having as many opportunities as possible to simply say thank you.”

“This incredible chapter in my life and

unforgettable moments,” St.Clair says.

Fullerton’s Jazz Gem

by Tony Dodero

This October, Steamers Jazz Club will celebrate 20 years of bringing top jazz performers to the popular venue in downtown Fullerton.

Steamers is the vision of Terrence Love, who set out to provide an optimum playing environment for musicians while keeping prices within reach.

“I knew from the beginning that I wanted to build a place where musicians would want to play,” Love says.

And cover charges from Sunday through Thurs-day are just $2. Fridays are $8, and Saturday night is just $10.

“The exception would be if it’s a Grammy Award-winning act playing that night or some celebrity art-ist,” Love says. Among the stars that have played the intimate club are Diana Krall, Poncho Sanchez, and Joey DeFrancesco.

Steamers, which has been named Southern Cali-fornia’s best jazz club by multiple publications, is also the location for Ragfest, a free event sched-uled this year to take place Oct. 18 and 19 and Nov. 15.

The Philharmonic Society of Orange County, which recently celebrated its 60th anniversary, embarks on a new era under the leadership of its newly appointed President and Artistic Director John Mangum. “The Society has a distinguished history of bringing the world’s greatest musicians and performers to Orange County’s stages and enriching countless students’ lives through its dynamic, volunteer-led music education programs,” said Mangum. “I look forward to building on this remarkable foundation and working with our dedicated Board, patrons, audience, community, and staff to chart a dynamic course for the future.”

As the area’s oldest presenter of classical music, the Society’s 2014-15 concert season is a spectacular lineup of the world’s

Bavouzet performing with the London Philharmonic. November marks the return of dynamic conductor Gustavo Dudamel leading the Los Angeles Philharmonic with his infectious energy in the OC premiere of Hartke’s new “Organ” Symphony, and Grammy-nominated pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet appearing with the Czech Philharmonic.

Award-winning conductor Michael Tilson Thomas. April features a two-night residency by Sir John Eliot Gardiner and his renowned English Baroque Soloists and Monteverdi Choir in performances of Claudio Monteverdi’s choral masterpiece, the Vespers of 1610, and his groundbreaking L’Orfeo. In May, celebrated American choreographer Mark Morris and his Mark Morris Dance Group combine Baroque vocal music with modern dance in their highly acclaimed production Dido and Aeneas. As the Society continues to build on its rich tradition of musical excellence, Orange County audiences can look forward to world-class music at their doorstep.

Special thanks to our concert and series sponsors Donna L. Kendall Foundation, Sam Ersan, John Halvajian, the William Gillespie Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts, and to Catherine and James Emmi whose generous $250,000 challenge grant will match all new and increased gifts to the Society through 2014-15 to fuel our success and growth into the new era.

The Voice DoctorUCI Medical Center specialist helps singers with problematic pipesby Barbara McMurray

Taking care of professional singers—opera, pop, rock—and others who depend on their voices is the specialty of Dr. Sunil Verma, an ear, nose,

and throat surgeon at UC Irvine Medical Center. The laryngologist leads the UC Irvine Health Professional Voice Care Program, tending to voice, breathing, and swallowing problems. One of fewer than 10 such spe-

cialists in California, Verma is the go-to doc for tour-ing and local singers when their pipes run into trouble.

The most common problem is hoarseness. “When a singer is performing show after show, injury can occur to the vocal cords,” Verma says.

With a tiny camera placed in the nose or throat, Verma looks for polyps, nodules, hematoma or hem-orrhage. “The vocal cords are very delicate structures. The tiniest of lesions or bumps can cause profound problems for a singer.”

If medication and rest don’t do the trick, surgery is often the best option. It’s a high-stakes procedure that requires a surgeon with special training.

“There is little margin for error—millimeters mat-ter,” he says. “One imperfect maneuver can cause devastating effects.”

Opera singers who have come to Verma for surgery “have returned to full function,” he says. “This is my biggest joy and why I do what I do.”

Sept. 19: It’s billed as Lil Wayne vs. Drake, but the two popular rap-pers are co-headliners on this tour, which is sure to feature “Believe Me,” their collaboration from Lil Wayne’s latest album, “Tha Carter V” (Verizon Wireless Amphitheater).

Sept. 21: Laguna Beach Live!’s Bluegrass and BBQ offers some down-home food and fun, with up-and-coming roots-music band the Barefoot Movement and opening act Evan Marshall on mandolin (The Ranch at Laguna Beach).

Oct. 3: The History of the Eagles tour started in 2013 in support of a documentary about the famous rock band. It’s since earned more than $145 million (and counting) in ticket sales throughout the world, with plans to continue touring into 2015 (Honda Center).

Oct. 7: Rolling Stone called Living Colour “funk-metal pioneers” for the African-American group’s hard-charging fusion of rock, punk, blues, hip-hop, and more in the late ’80s and early ’90s. After disbanding in the mid-’90s, the band’s back together and on tour (Coach House).

Nov. 23: In classical music’s version of baseball’s Freeway Series, Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic make their annual trek to O.C. for a Philharmonic Society concert. This time, they are joined by organists Cameron Carpenter and Joanne Pearce Martin for a program that includes a world premiere from Stephen Hartke (Seger-strom Center for the Arts).

Dec. 6, Dec. 21 and 22: Pacific Chorale offers two ways to cele-brate the holiday season. First, the John Alexander Singers mix well-known songs and choral works in the intimate Carols by Candlelight, which is followed later in the month by the popular ’Tis the Season program, in which the full chorale is joined by Pacific Symphony, organist Craig Williams, and the Southern California Children’s Con-cert Chorus (Our Lady Queen of Angels Catholic Church; Segerstrom Center for the Arts).

The History of the Eagles

Chee-Yun KimFor the first time in 21 years, the

Philharmonic Society of Orange County has a new president and artistic director. John Mangum, who took over for the retired Dean Corey, comes here from the San Francisco Symphony, where he was the direc-tor of artistic planning.

“I worked at the Los Angeles Phil-harmonic and went to UCLA for my bachelor’s, master’s, and doc-torate degrees, so I lived there for a long time. I used to make pil-grimages down here for the Phil-harmonic Society’s Eclectic Orange series, so I had this earlier knowl-edge that they do incredible things. I’ve always had the impression that there is a burgeoning arts scene in Orange County, especially what’s going on at the Segerstrom Cen-ter for the Arts and the Irvine Bar-clay Theatre, the new center at Soka University and they’re building one at Chapman University. I’m looking forward to the philharmonic’s whole season. One of the nice things about my previous job was that I planned a series in San Francisco that brought in visiting artists and orchestras, and some of the groups I was so excited about in San Francisco are here.”

Santa AnaArt Adventure:

It seems like every time you visit downtown Santa Ana, there’s always something new. One week it’s a contemporary art gallery, the next a Japanese fondue restaurant. That sense of excitement and discovery makes the area a great place to visit, especially when it comes to the arts. The Artists Village, the East

End, Santiago Art District—these neighborhoods are teeming with all sorts of cultural offerings waiting to be explored. Here are a few to get you started.

Visual Arts

Orange County Center for Contemporary Art

Q ART SALONQ Art Salon, a contemporary figurative and portraiture gallery, opened May 2012 in a spacious New York-style work/live loft. No exhibition space goes unused; pieces are displayed in the airy stairwell and even the master bedroom—a convenient accommodation for visiting artists. The gallery hosts uninstructed figure modeling workshops Tuesday and Thursday evenings. 205 N. Sycamore St., 714-835-8833, qartsalon.com

AVANTGARDENThis co-op gallery in the Santora Arts Building features the work of more than 20 Santa Ana- and Southern California-based artists. Acrylics, oils, collages, sculptures, photographic art and jewelry are on exhibit. Styles trend toward contemporary and cutting edge; it’s a mix of street art and fine art, says gallery co-director and artist Nick Treadway, who uses an iPad to create some of his pieces. 207 N. Broadway, Suite B7B, 714-558-8843, artavantgarden.com

ORANGE COUNTY CENTER FOR CONTEMPORARY ARTOrange County Center for Contemporary Art is a member-run gallery exhibiting work by artists of all career levels and art mediums.

Discovering ‘Lost’ ChinaBowers Museum continues its run of major Asian exhibits with a bit of a mysteryby Rose Flores Medlock

Bowers Museum President Peter Keller first envisioned “China’s Lost Civilization: The Mystery of Sanxingdui” 10 years ago during a trip to the country for another exhibit.

“We were outside the province of Chengdu when we heard about these cast bronzes that were almost 4,000 years old,” he says. “We wondered, ‘Who were these people making these 7-foot statues, and where did they go?’ It’s still a mystery today. They’re important national treasures of China, and we’re happy to have them.”

Since 2000, the Bowers has mounted eight major exhibits of Chinese art, starting with the “Forbidden City” and including the “Terra Cotta Warriors” twice. The museum has acquired a reputation for exhibiting some of China’s most consequential valuables, though presenting such remarkable exhibits is no easy feat.

“We made 12 trips to Tibet to organize the Tibet exhibit,” Keller says. “We started to focus on [‘Lost Civ-ilization’] after the ‘Terra Cotta’ exhibit in 2011. China sends two couriers with the objects that go directly from the airport to the museum. The crates wait about a day to climatize. Each piece has to be examined by both parties, and notes are taken in great detail, usually through photographs. The same thing will hap-pen in reverse when [the exhibit] is over.”

The Bowers also sends art to China. July 11 marked the opening of the first Native American exhibit ever seen in that country. “Lost Civilization” is at the Bowers from Oct. 19 through March 15.

Smith officially started his job at the museum in August. Before that, he was the executive director at the Tampa Museum of Art; he’s also held leadership positions at the Gibbs Museum of Art in Charleston, S.C., the Knoxville Museum of Art, and the Plains Art Museum in Fargo, N.D.

At Tampa, he managed the process of building a new museum in 2010; no doubt he will encounter similarities between that experience and OCMA’s planned move to its new location in Costa Mesa, near the Segerstrom Center for the Arts. “There are many steps in the process that will need attention, but it is a little prema- ture at this stage to go into great detail about each of these steps.”

He has a bachelor’s degree in art history from Duke University and a master’s from Indiana University.

Smith says he enjoys “the opportunity to meet new artists, watch trends emerge, and help museum audiences to appreciate these new artists and trends.”

When it comes to being creative, artist Mada Leach believes that “everybody has a voice somewhere. Sometimes they just need a

little bit of encouragement to stop and listen to that voice.” Leach helps people find their creative calling through Laguna Outreach for Community Arts, a Laguna Beach nonprofit that provides quality art education to people of all ages.

Leach co-founded LOCA with fellow artist Anne England, whom she got to know when both were exhibitors at the Festival of Arts. They knew that Laguna Beach artists were very active in support-ing the community but were often not paid for their efforts. LOCA resolved to give artists paid teaching gigs, funding programs through sponsorships, dona-tions, and grants. Helping to get the program started was a cadre of artists that included Julita Jones, Jac-quie Moffett, Hal Lambert, Hal Akins, Monica Dun-ham, and current president Sue Linder.

The Laguna Beach organization has worked with

local schools, youth shelters, the Boys & Girls Club, the Pacific Marine Mammal Center, and the Laguna Beach Senior Center, among others. And the list keeps expanding. “We’re always looking for col-laboration and new ideas; that’s one of the major strengths of LOCA. I’m very proud of the organi-zation,” says Leach, adding with a laugh, “We’ve been doing this for 21 years, so we’re saying we’re legal now.”

Sept. 6 through 28: One of the newest galleries in Santa Ana is Marcas Contemporary Art, which is owned by Dana Jazayeri, who’s behind the As Issued art and design bookstore in Costa Mesa. Mar-cas’ show, “Smoke & Mirrors,” is a group exhibit of current themes in contemporary art that include architectural illustrations, figurative paintings, and surreal works (Marcas Contemporary Art).

Sept. 27 through Oct. 21: The artists in the group show “Body of the Palace” have one thing in common—they all studied at Califor-nia Institute of the Arts, or CalArts, and they pay homage to the pres-tigious school and how it shaped their work and their relationships with each other (Dax Gallery).

Oct. 10 through Nov. 11: Huntington Beach Art Center supports and nurtures the visual-arts community with its recently formed Art-ists Council, whose membership is open to artists working in a variety of media. The group has its debut showcase in “The Artists Council Inaugural Exhibition” (Huntington Beach Art Center).

Oct. 12 through 19: Laguna Beach’s landscapes have famously attracted painters hoping to capture the magic of the scenery on canvas. You can see top artists at work during the 16th annual Laguna Beach Plein Air Painting Invitational, which also includes artist demonstra-tions, a silent auction, and a gala party and sale (The Ranch at Laguna).

Oct. 16 through Jan. 1: “Hispanic Weavings: The Romero Col-lection of Blankets from the Rio Grande Valley, Mexico, and South America” highlights a collection belonging to Los Angeles artist Frank Romero that spans from the 1860s through the 1980s (Muckenthaler Cultural Center).

Michael Jacques has been an artist since kindergarten, when the teacher reprimanded him for crayoning his way through the classroom supply of Manila paper. His love of draw-ing continued through childhood; in college, Jacques saw a documentary on Picasso, which inspired him to expand his range. The Laguna Beach resident (and teacher at Laguna Col-lege of Art + Design) has produced etchings, paintings, intaglio prints, and, most recently, wire sculptures.

“The sculptures are like drawings in the air made out of wire. I start with a drawing on paper—if you can draw it, then you can make it—then take up the wire and follow my instincts. It doesn’t look like much in the beginning, but you’ve got to know when to stop; if you go too far it looks laden and clumsy. In cook-ing you can test when you are done—you know when brownies are done baking—but in art you have to stand back and look at it. And there’s the issue of form and function—does the piece stand on its own at the end, or does it fall over? If I can get it to stand up I’m really happy.”

A Tale of ‘A Tale of Two Cities’A by-the-numbers breakdown of a unique work of art

Orange County Museum of Art ’s “The Avant-Garde Collection” (Sept. 7 through Jan. 4) consists of roughly 100 groundbreaking works, but perhaps the most eye-catching is Chris Burden’s “A Tale of Two Cities.” The sprawling installation, part of the museum’s permanent collection, depicts two city-states preparing for war in the 25th century. Here are some of the numbers behind this large-scale artwork.

1981:17: The estimated amount, in cubic yards, of white sand used in the installation.60: The approximate number of houseplants, such as ferns, palms, and moss.5,000: The rough number of plastic toys from Europe, America, and Japan.1,100: The size of the installation’s base, in square feet.36: The height of the tallest building, in inches.2: The rough number of weeks it takes to install the piece.6: The number of people needed to install the piece, working 8-hour days Monday through Friday.

Whether they attend Cal State Fullerton, Chapman University, Vanguard Univer-sity, Concordia University, or UC Irvine,

students of higher education in Orange County are blessed with superior offerings of visual and per-forming arts programs.

At the College of the Arts at Cal State Fuller-ton, the university boasts a robust theater arts and animation program, with several alums achieving success on stage and screen.

“It’s pretty good to have grads on Broadway vying for a Tony Award and on a television hit series,” says university spokeswoman Paula Sell-eck. Linda Emond earned a Tony nod this year for “Cabaret,” while Kirsten Vangsness and Valo-rie Curry have starred on “Criminal Minds” and “The Following,” respectively.

Also, Cal State Fullerton now has a School of Music, which includes Grammy winner Bill Cun-liffe, who directs the jazz bands and jazz orchestra.

Down the road at Chapman University in Orange, students can choose from three distinct art disciplines.

Music, theater and dance students study at the College of Performing Arts. Art students can work their magic in the Department of Art in Wilkinson College of Humanities and Social Sciences, and film and media students can study at the Dodge College of Film and Media Arts.

“And, of course, adding to the excitement at Chapman is our beautiful 1,100-seat Marybelle and Sebastian P. Musco Center for the Arts, which is currently under construction and will soon pro-vide a home for the performing arts here on cam-pus,” says spokeswoman Mary Platt. The opening is planned for 2016.

Two private Christian universities, Vanguard and Concordia, both offer arts programs. Vanguard’s bachelor of music degree program offers concen-trations in performance, composition, music edu-

cation, jazz studies, and church music. Theatre Arts students can focus on performance/direct-ing, musical theater, and design/technical stud-ies while honing their skills on productions in the Lyceum Theater on campus. Concordia also offers music and theater degrees, as well as studio art, art education, and graphic design concentrations.

At UC Irvine, the Claire Trevor School of the Arts will celebrate its 50th anniversary in the com-ing season.

Art students at this UC campus receive instruc-tion in drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography and digital imaging, performance art, and video. Dance students work with inter-national artists-in-residence, providing a broad spectrum of dance disciplines. Music students take part in dozens of concerts and recitals each year.

Finally, the Department of Drama, along with the Department of Theatre and Dance at UC San Diego, offers a first-of-its-kind joint doctoral pro-gram in Drama and Theatre.

And the university is undertaking outreach efforts to local schools.

“This year the UCI Symphony Orchestra and the Santa Ana High School orchestra partnered to build awareness of the university experience,” says university spokeswoman Jaime DeJong. And maybe one day, some of those high schoolers will be college arts majors themselves.

A celebration of family-focused literacy and arts, the Orange County Children’s Book Fes-tival returns to Orange Coast College in Costa

Mesa on Sept. 28 for its 11th year. Festival organiz-ers expect about 150 authors, illustrators, and story-tellers to entertain an anticipated 25,000 to 30,000 visitors throughout the day.

“We’re the largest children’s book festival in North America with the one passion of inspiring the joy of reading and love of books in kids and families,” says Pat Burns, festival executive director and co-founder.

The free festival centers on six themed stages: Fam-ily-Friendly Entertainment, Middle Grade/Teen/Young Adult, Animal, Storyteller, Illustrator, and Cooking and Family Health. Children can meet celebrity authors, such as John Archambault of the kid-favorite “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom,” who can autograph books pur-chased on site. Kids can also learn to draw, board a trackless train, get their faces painted, enjoy musi-cal performances, and dance on stage. Informational booths showcase educational products, literacy, and family-related programs.

It’s no exaggeration to say that if the latest plans to restore the historic Balboa Theatre stumble this time, the final curtain on this much-beloved land-

mark is very likely to fall.

Behind the scenes, the city of Newport Beach and the Balboa Performing Arts Theatre Foundation are look-ing to put up $4 million by Dec. 31 and construct a scaled-down version that veers from the multiple plans and visions for the theater that have dead-ended since its closure in 1992.

“It’s the right size, the right place, at the right time,” says Dr. Donald Hecht, the chairman of the foundation board, who has teamed with CEO Steve Beazley to transform the plans for the theater from a traditional performing arts center to a multipur-pose space.

The new theater would be a 300-seat, flexible venue that could be used for live performances as well as film and media screenings and social events.

“It’s all about entertainment and responding to the community,” says Hecht.

Sept. 13 and 14: Funny or Die’s Oddball Comedy and Curios-ity Festival 2014 gives you the chance to see live some of today’s top comedians known for cutting-edge TV work, such as Louis C.K., Sarah Silverman, and Marc Maron. Other big names include Aziz Ansari, Hannibal Buress, and Jim Gaffigan (Verizon Wireless Amphitheater).

Sept. 14: The Muckenthaler Cultural Center is a Fullerton landmark housed in a 1924 mansion that’s on the National Register of Historic Places. With the center having survived a series of arson fires earlier this year, there’s even more reason to celebrate “the Muck” at Sun-day Social at The Villa: A Special 90th Birthday—the event includes croquet, badminton, and a bocce ball tournament, ’20s-era music and cocktails, art vendors, vintage cars, and plenty of food (Muckenthaler Cultural Center).

Sept. 20: Expect to hear great stories from one of Hollywood’s most outspoken and opinionated actresses when Oscar winner Shir-ley MacLaine talks about her life and career during this show, aug-mented with film clips and an audience Q-and-A session (Segerstrom Center for the Arts).

Oct. 12: You may just think of it as a small bedroom community in the middle of the county, but city leaders invite you to Re:Imagine Garden Grove. Three miles of city streets will be closed off to cars so people can see multicultural music and dance performances on mul-tiple stages and enjoy art workshops for children, a food truck zone, public art installations, and more at this free event (Garden Grove).

“Skylight” Chamberlain is a well-known photographer who co-founded BC Space Gallery and Photographic Art Services in Laguna Beach as well as The Legacy Project, which charted the transformation of Marine Corps Air Station El Toro into the Orange County Great Park. For his career body of work, he’ll receive a Hel-ena Modjeska Cultural Legacy Award from Arts Orange County on Oct. 22.

“I have often felt like an acciden-tal tourist in the art world, as the coincidence of many unintended consequences led me on my path. Initially my formal education cul-minated in the seemingly practical pursuit of operations research, in which I fancied becoming a business consultant to help make the world more efficient. Yet my real educa-tion began after being drafted into the military in 1967. While stationed in Korea during the Vietnam War, I rekindled an interest in photogra-phy, primarily as a coping mecha-nism during a difficult time. I feel very fortunate to have discovered the passion for an art form that can make a real difference, while also finding a community that cares.”

Irvine Barclay Theatre holds a unique place in the cultural life of Orange County. The Barclay, as it is more often known, has a rich history of presenting national and international artists that represent the best of their genre since opening in 1990.

As the Barclay launches its 25th season, it continues to partner with the City of Irvine and UCI, and embrace its role as a community resource, university magnet and educational collaborator, and as a nationally respected arts presenter.

More than thirty cultural and community organizations, as well as UCI arts, academic and lecture programs, utilize the Barclay’s Cheng Hall each season. Named after philanthropists, George and Arlene Cheng, the hall is highly regarded for its impeccable acoustics, excellent viewing and appealing ambience.

U.S. premieres: London’s bad-boy of dance, the Michael Clark Company brings its acclaimed production featuring the music of David Bowie; Swiss directing and acting genius, Daniele Finzi Pasca stars in his tour-de-force show, Icaro; and Canadian Rick Miller, known around the world for his crazy one-man show, MacHomer, stars in his newest multi-media creation, Boom, celebrating the Boomer generation through its iconic music and images.

The 25th season has some great things in store. We look forward to welcoming you.
