It’s hard to believe that it’s May already! As time flies by, I find myself becoming increasingly sentimental about the past. With every year that goes by, I realize the importance of becoming deeply rooted in the community. We are all part of a continuing storyline that joins past, present and future generations of people who live, love, struggle and find joy in this amazing world. Our writers and photographers seem to be feeling the same way. As I look through this month’s editions, I’m moved by the history shared within our pages. Inside are stories of some of the people and places that have helped to create the cultural identity of our community and beyond. Talented photographer George Gruel contributed to this month’s photo essay, which poignantly reminds us to “stop and smell the flowers.” This essay is a particularly meaningful departure from George’s decades of touring with Bob Dylan, the Grateful Dead and other rock and roll icons. It represents some of the deeper lessons he’s learned along his journey. I’m also thrilled to share Cynthia Stewart’s passion for preserving and repurposing centuries-old artifacts. Her story touched me deeply, and I know you’ll enjoy it too. In fact, I love her line of Cynthia Ann Jewels so much that we’ll be featuring one-of-a-kind pieces from her collection throughout the month of May—just in time for Mother’s Day—at Grace Renee Gallery in Carefree. Not only are they beautiful, but they’re also a physical reminder that love and humanity transcend space and time.

Submergence by Squidsoup - Photo by Adam Elmakias Writer Joseph J. Airdo Photography Courtesy of Wonderspaces

The landscape of the arts world is changing. Classic architecture, ceramics, paintings, photography and sculptures continue to carry significance in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s society, but artists are finding new methods to express the way in which they see the world. Whereas creativity used to be about finding ways to color outside the box, it is now about finding new canvases to color, and new tools with which to do so. As seen in Wonderspacesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; debut exhibit in Scottsdale, many of these new methods invite audience engagement via virtual reality, body movement or three-dimensional exploration. The Wonderspaces team hopes that by exposing audiences to new and unorthedox works from artists, it can expand upon the audience for art while also challenging perspectives and creating conversations that lead to new ideas.

“[Wonderspaces] is an art show that is designed to be accessible to all audiences, whether or not you commonly identify with art,” says creative director Kendall Warson. “It is a place that features work that is engaging, multi-sensory and probably unlike anything you have ever seen before. One of the strengths of Wonderspaces is that we are showcasing work with a diverse array of mediums.” Occupying the former Harkins movie theater inside of Scottsdale Fashion Square, Wonderspaces partners with artists from around the world to create art shows that run for about three months, creating a place where people can connect with art and with each other. The 16,000-square-foot venue is Wonderspaces’ first permanent location. “We have had two pop-up shows in San Diego,” Warson says. “The first show was in 2017 and was put together by our co-founders Jason Shin and Patrick Charles. It was put up in a tent and kind of thrown together in a sense. Over the course of about 10 weeks, there were 56,000 people who came to experience it. The next year, we had 111,000 people come to a pop-up show at a cruise ship terminal.” Realizing the intrinsic benefits of exposing new audiences to artists’ work, but also the inherent challenges of pop-up venues, the team put into motion a plan to sign long-term leases in cities across the country. It hopes to plant seeds in Austen and Philidelphia later this year. “The intention is for these shows to go from city to city—not only to bring a really exciting offering to local communities but also to scale the impact of all the artists and their work,” Warson explains. “That way, it is constantly reaching new audiences. Our intention is to be sort of a movie theater to the Arizona community and to have this continual offering that is rotating every three months.”

Wonderspaces to regularly reinvent itself. The space itself will change based on the theme of the exhibit, as will the food and shopping options. Entry is staggered every 15 minutes to ensure individual installations do not get too crowded, giving visitors an opportunity to peacefully and personally engage with each piece of artwork. Each show is designed to take about 80 minutes to experience but visitors have the freedom to enjoy the exhibit at their own pace. Running through July 21, Wonderspaces’ debut exhibit in Scottsdale—Point of View—features 13 installations that explore how new perspectives expand our concept of the world. “A lot of the works are offering new perspectives or are abstracting perspectives—not only visually but also from a narrative sense,” Warson explains. “People come to Point of View with their own perspectives as a visitor and that is interacting with the perspectives that the artists are bringing to the table. People are able to converse, share opinions, share ideas and walk out with an enlightened sense of reality and a larger scope on their point of view.” One of the highlights of Point of View is Dinner Party, a virtual reality film based on the story of Betty and Barney Hill—the couple who reported the first nationally known UFO abduction case in America in the 1960s. The installation, which was created by Angel Soto, Laura Wexler and Charlotte Stoudt, makes use of virtual reality headsets and is designed to replicate a mid-century dinner party atmosphere. “It is exciting, a little scary and super engaging,” Warson says. “You watch the film at a dinner table that we have designed in partnership with the artists. There are themes of isolation and of community.

i m a g e s a r i z o n a . c o m M ay 2 019

The installation format helps push forward those themes and engages the audience in the larger dialogue of what the director, writers and producers are exploring through the concepts of the film.” Warson is also proud that Wonderspaces can bring Body Paint to the Valley. The installation, which was created in 2009 by artist Memo Akten, is a visual instrument that enables people to paint on a virtual canvas with their bodies. Playing on our natural instinct to express ourselves through movement and dance, Body Paint interprets our physical gestures into evolving compositions. “Even though it was created 10 years ago, Body Paint is still so relevant and engaging,” says Warson, noting that Wonderspaces will occasionally dig into an artist’s archive to find work that should be brought back to the forefront of people’s consiousness. “Body Paint is less about the outcome and more about expressing yourself physically.” Point of View also brings Submergence back to the Valley after its 2017 exhibition at Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art. An immersive installation comprised of 8,064 individual points of light that visitors can walk through, Submergence was created by Squidsoup—an international group of artists, researchers, technologists and designers who work together to create interactive experiences. “It is great because you are seeing this landscape but then all of a sudden you are a part of it,” says Warson, noting the lights continually change colors in correspondance to music thereby creating feelings of movement

within physical space. “It is a very visceral, accessible artwork that is just extraordinary and awe-inspiring.” Other noteable Point of View installations at Wonderspaces include a videotaped performance of two handymen sweeping trash for 12 hours; an audiovisual installation that distorts space and blurs the lines between what is digital and what is real; an immersive installation made of 19 miles of multicolor nylon string; and 3D-printed sculptures designed to animate when spun under a strobe light. “A lot of the artists that we are working with are excited about their work reaching a broader audience,” Warson says. “I think that the goal is to create a communal conversation and a space where people can confidently enter into and explore the concepts and perspectives that these artists are sharing.” Wonderspaces acts as an invitation for people who may ordinarily not be drawn into the art world to discover it through totally surprising and unexpected works. It activates visitors’ senses in new and innovative ways, encouraging them to explore artists’ perspectives and challenge their own while also sparking discussions with their friends and family. “A lot of these pieces are not conventional,” Warson says. “We strive to support installation art and find ways to present work that is challenging to present and might not otherwise exist in a traveling format. We feel like people are really moved by a lot of these pieces and are able to share experiences with one another and connect with each other through the context and lens of this artwork.” arizona.wonderspaces.com

Writer Amanda Christmann Photography by Bryan Black i m a g e s a r i z o n a . c o m M ay 2 019

Once you’ve met Marshall Shore, you won’t soon forget him. With his bold and eclectic taste in vintage fashion, his edgy pompadour and his larger-than-life personality, Shore stands out in any crowd—which is the way he likes it. It’s only apropos that Shore has become the unofficial ambassador for something else that shouldn’t be forgotten: Arizona history. In fact, as self-proclaimed Arizona’s Hip Historian, Shore has made it a point to dust off and share some of the most notable—and quirky—bits of local lore. For example, even people who have lived in the Valley for years may not know the haunted and harried history of the downtown Clarendon Hotel. In its early days, it played host to Hollywood stars, and it still does, thanks to renovations that have brought back its “Mad Men” swankiness. Ask Shore about the hotel, though, and he’ll tell you stories that go beyond the allure of its mid-century architecture and rooftop bar. With the skill of a true wordsmith, Shore draws audiences in with the story of the jilted lover who put on her best dress and threw herself to her death from the roof of the hotel. Some hotel patrons claim they can still smell her rose perfume in the room where she stayed. He’ll also tell you about Phoenix’s most notorious unsolved murder that happened just outside of the hotel’s front doors: the car bombing murder of Arizona Republic reporter Don Bolles. In fact, that’s just one of the tales he can tell about the days when Central Phoenix was home to quite a few mob figures. He takes tourists and locals alike on guided tours, sharing stories about infamous Phoenix murderess Winnie Ruth Judd, and about the governors, prostitutes, and other colorful characters who share an unlikely eternal companionship in the downtown Pioneer and Military Memorial Park cemetery. There’s nothing routine or predictable about Shore or his tours. He’s been known to play bingo in cemetery tours, and the yellow school bus he uses for others make learning about Phoenix history more of an adventure than the intellectual pursuit that it is. In fact, Shore is doing a bang-up job of turning a town with “no history” into a fun historical mecca. Not bad for a guy from a one-horse town in Indiana. M ay 2019

imagesar iz ona .c om

Shore grew up in Odell, Indiana—and you’re not alone if you haven’t heard of it. With a population of 25, and boasting two roads and one stop sign, it’s probably safe to assume that Shore is Odell’s most colorful export. “I always marched to my own drum,” he says, his eyes smiling from behind peculiarly shaped green wire rims. “That drum has just gotten louder.” At 23 years old, Shore bought a one-way ticket to New York, where he landed a job in a library in Brooklyn. It was a practical decision. “It was ingrained in me early on, ‘Don’t be an artist! Don’t be an artist!’” Shore explains. The library gave him an opportunity to dig through books and archives for stories about the people and places that surrounded him. Every story he read made him feel more alive and connected to the city. A few years later, his parents moved to northern Arizona. He soon followed, but not too closely. He didn’t want to leave the glow of the city lights, so he took a job as a librarian in Phoenix. “As soon as I got here, I heard all of these stories about how there is no history here,” he says. “Yet, I was working in the Central Library and I was hearing all of this fascinating oral history. It gave me a whole fresh perspective. Now, I kind of look at stuff and I think, ‘Look at that building. I wonder what happened inside.’ And I find out.” Shore combs through old newspapers and other documented accounts, and he reaches out to authors and others who either remember or have researched old stories.

i m a g e s a r i z o n a . c o m M ay 2 019

To Shore, who refers to himself as an “information curator,” each of these stories is a thread in the fabric of our city, and finding them has been a personal journey. “When I first moved here, I was like, ‘I moved where?!’ It really was about finding things that connected me to this place, and finding all of these amazing people who were finding themselves and forging new paths. “That’s still true today. There are people today whose stories we’ll be telling generations from now. The idea that we’re all trying to leave our mark is nothing new.” Anyone who has been to one of Shore’s now-famous ghost tours, Phoenix in Film, Arizona LGBT History, Arizona by Design or any of his other experiences at local bars, Scottsdale Museum of the West, the Alwun House, the Arizona State Fair or other venues knows what a good time history can be—especially when its told by Phoenix New Times’ Best Unofficial Phoenix Historian and Phoenix magazine’s Best Bespectacled Phoenix Celeb. Give him an hour and Shore will pique your interest and make you want to know more. “I’m most interested in the people and events that have made Phoenix what it is today,” he explains. “Sharing my passion is how I got connected to Arizona. I could be anywhere doing anything, and history is why I’m here.” He’s also set his sights on creating a little history of his own. Currently, he’s collaborating with Marilyn Szabo and the Casa Grande Historical Society to put together a book about the life and work of Casa Grande photographer James Gorraiz. Gorraiz’s work documented the incredible post-war boom that Phoenix experienced in the mid-20th century. Like so many other Phoenix characters, he’s always got a few other tricks up his sleeve, too. The best place to find out what tours and fun he’s got coming up is to follow his Facebook page. Being a hip historian isn’t the only thing Shore does. He’s on the board for Arizona Apparel Foundation, where he works with emerging designers in helping them brand apparel unique to Arizona.

It reads as if it came from the pages of a fairy tale. On the streets of Paris, where emperors once ruled, revolutions were borne, and where creative minds like Picasso, Hemingway, Matisse and Wilde found their muses, Cindy Stewart was searching for something she couldn’t name. She wasn’t interested in the souvenir postcards or Eiffel Tower figurines that fill many of the shops that line the city’s roads. Even the artists with their easels and palettes couldn’t tempt her eye. Pretty things and baubles may have brought a momentary smile, but Cindy needed something bigger—something deeper—to fill an emptiness in her heart. Her mother had died a few months earlier, and she was drowning in waves of grief. She wanted something to hold onto, and she was searching for it an ocean and a world away from her Houston home. She pushed open a door to a shop whose window promised old and interesting finds. As she closed the door behind her, the busy sounds of the street gave way to the heavy, reverent silence of a long, narrow antique store. She made her way through the stiff, ornate furniture and large and small leftovers of other people’s lives when a box caught her eye.

It wasn’t the plainness of its shape or its solid weight. Its contents were what drew her nearer. Thousands of medals, each hand-forged and crafted to signify something that was once special to its owner, were piled inside. Atop the pile was a small Madonna medal inscribed with the words “Jesus,” “Mary” and “Joseph.” Cindy’s breath caught in her throat. She grew up with her mother using the phrase, “Jesus, Mary and Joseph,” and she could almost feel her mother’s presence as her fingers traced the coolness of the metal. “That was the epiphany moment for me,” Cindy says. “I was struck with an overwhelming sense that she hadn’t left, and she was telling me she hadn’t left. That’s what really started me on my journey.” Cindy bought the entire box of 2,000 medals. They dated back hundreds of years, symbolizing everything from small crosses to patron saints. That box would be the start of a soulwork of sorts that has touched thousands lives.

THE PRESENTS OF THE PAST Once home, Cindy got busy. She’d always had an interest in fashion and design. Though she’d been working in the corporate retail world for over 25 years, she’d also begun a jewelry boutique on the side. She had no trouble at all determining what she wanted to do. “Life is short,” she says. “My whole path and journey has taken me here. I closed up my store and started designing jewelry around these medals.”

OUTDOOR LIVING AT ITS FINEST

HIGH END, LOW-VOLTAGE, OUTDOOR LIGHTING Using techniques and resources she’d learned about in her corporate life and as a boutique owner, she cleaned and polished each one, inset them in gold and added diamond bezels and bales. She took them to a trade show and received an overwhelming response. People didn’t just like them because they were pretty; they liked them because they felt their deep connection to the present and the past, and to the part of life that cannot be broken by distance or death. “They had the same response I had when I found my first medal,” she explains. “It was just a cascade of people who were relating to a product that was so important and so close to my heart.”

Unlike most start-ups, Cindy’s problem wasn’t that she couldn’t reach customers; with a retail base that reached 65 stores in a relatively short amount of time, her issue became maintaining the integrity of her mission.

She soon found herself combing European antique fairs. She was most attracted to Victorian-, Edwardianand Georgian-era jewelry. Their history, brilliant craftsmanship and unique stones tugged at her heart. The more that she found, the more people wanted.

“The number of medals available is very, very limited,” she says. “We started growing too fast. People wanted me to reproduce the medals, but I wouldn’t do that. “It was important to me to use those pieces that had passed through history, that people had held, and that people were happy with, sad with, and that had a story that went along with them. We may not know the whole story, but every one of them has a story. “I love that each one has a life that continues, and that helps people in their own journeys, whatever that journey may be.”

BEAUTY IN SYMBOLISM Medals have been recorded in history since the early Egyptians forged jewelry out of fine metals to show their devotion to deities. In the fourth century, Roman emperors Constantine and Maxentius were fighting over power. Christianity had not yet been embraced by the empire, so when Constantine saw a vision that he should use “Chi-Rho,” the first two Greek letters of Christ’s name, upon his sword, he was likely as confused as any. Still, “Conquer by this sign,” is the message Constantine would heed. Constantine’s army soundly defeated Maxentius, paving the way for Constantine to rule the western half of the Roman Empire. Religious jewelry would become an important symbol for people to show they’d renounced their earlier religions and had embraced the Christian God.

“Chi-Rho” loosely resembled a cross, and it metamorphosed into a primary Christian symbol. It is one of many symbols Cynthia Ann Jewels showcase. “I have grown to really appreciate the symbolism in old jewelry,” Cindy says. “I love the meaning of a swallow and the symbolism in heart bracelets, for example. All of them have interesting connotations, and I’ve loved learning about them throughout this journey.” Guardian angels are among her favorites. “Whatever the language it is, it’s ‘Let me be your guide.’ We’re all born with a guardian angel. It’s in the Old Testament and the New Testament; we’re all born with this guardian here to be our spiritual guide throughout our lives. I love that. I don’t leave my house without my guardian angel spiritually, but I keep my guardian angel medal with me as well.”

When “That will never happen to me” happens. I’m ready to help. There’s never a good time for an accident to happen. But when it does, you can count on me to be there quickly so you can get your life back to normal. GET TO A BETTER STATE . CALL ME TODAY. ™

Another favorite seems like an unlikely affinity at first glance. The Latin term memento mori translates literally to “remember you must die.” Represented by a skull, it seems a morbid reminder for someone so positive, but Cindy doesn’t see it that way. “The skull is such an amazing representation and appreciation of life,” she explains. “We’re all so afraid of death because we’re not educated about it. That’s why it was so difficult when my mom passed away. We just had no grasp about where we are going, and the memento mori is a reminder that God promised eternal life in his kingdom with him.

“I found my first piece from the 1700s in Bulgaria. I now understand who he is and what he represents. He’s not creepy at all. He’s a reminder that we are to live each and every day to the fullest because we were promised eternal life. That’s what we were promised here.” Cynthia Ann Jewels is currently working on new collection memento moris, and although they are limited in number to about 46 in total, Grace Renee Gallery in Carefree will feature several pieces, along with many of her other limited editions. About 80% of Cynthia Ann Jewels have religious connotations, and not all are Christianity-based. Many date back to biblical times, between 300 and 450 AD; others are from 19th century European and Russian collections.

Each Visit includEs:

From medallions to St. Benedict symbols to guardian angels, Cindy’s goal is to make beautiful pieces that are unintimidating. “It’s meant to be modern, very accessible jewelry. I don’t want it to be something people are afraid to wear. It’s beautiful, but it’s not so overly serious that you wouldn’t feel comfortable wearing it every day.

There are plenty of facts to be said about Arizona plants. For example, there are about 3,400 species of plants that grow in our state, and we have an unusually diverse variety due to our contrasts in climate, topography and habitats. Anyone who has been struck with the awe by the sight of the desert floor transformed by bright confetti flowers knows that facts don’t really matter. The blooms that fill the ground with such sweet and piercing dichotomy between fragility and strength are a testament to beauty and endurance. Photographer George Gruel has spent his life capturing rock and roll icons like the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan and the Band, Graham Nash and Warren Zevon. He has also accrued collections of the quirkily ordinary, including neon signs and eateries across the globe. Gruel’s experience of life in the fast lane has given him a unique perspective on finding beauty in the natural world. Not only are his botanical photographs striking, but their singularity and micro perspective tell a different story than the broadstroke of views we’ve come to know so well. Images Arizona is proud to share a bit of insight into Gruel’s work in this month’s photo essay. We hope that you’ll gain an appreciation for the detail in the beauty all around us, and that you, too, will stop and smell the flowers.

ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER Encelia Farinosa Brittlebush

For George Gruel, art and music have been more than just hobbies. While attending photography and art school in Michigan, he decided to travel to San Francisco to photograph the journey as part of his photographic thesis. That trip changed his life. “It was a creative mecca like nothing I’d seen or experienced before,” he says.

Opunga Santa Rita

The Bay called him back, and in the early 1970s, he lived with Grateful Dead founder Bob Weir and became part of the Grateful Dead family. Rock and roll in those days was a little different than today, and many of the day’s biggest names hung out in the same circles. Gruel fit right in. He toured with New Riders of the Purple Sage, and he photographed Bob Dylan’s entire 1974 tour. In 1977, he took photos for the Eagles during their European Hotel California tour.

Kalanchoe Delagoensis Flower

“In 1978, Warren Zevon asked me if I would be his aide-de-camp,” Gruel says. “Of course I accepted. It went way beyond the money for me; it was pure joy—fabulous people, rock-nroll craziness, travel and most of all, amazingly great music. “Working with Warren was the best job of my life. He was in his heyday. I was listed on all albums as his aidede-camp. It was an all-encompassing term, which included me being his road manager for many tours, in the USA and Europe. We had great

fun together through a myriad of adventures, including some that bordered on insanity.” Gruel’s friend Graham Nash made him art director for the Crosby Nash album, “Another Stoney Evening.” He also photographed a few of Rick Springfield’s shows for a tour book. “Throughout this portion of my life, I kept my eyes, hands and mind involved with photography. My photos from those days grace Zevon albums, Rolling Stone, books and are in a new book about Warren published by Harper Collins called “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead.” Gruel published a book of his adventures with Warren Zevon called “Lawyers, Guns and Photos.” “I could ramble on and on about many obtuse times in Los Angeles and the world of rock-n-roll, but let’s fast forward. Ten years ago, my life took yet another marvelous leap into the unknown—the world of true love. “I had never really known what great partner could do for one’s art and creativity, let alone, life. This all happened when I met my wife Jan. She is, by far, the best thing that has ever happened to me—and I’ve have had some pretty wonderful and unique experiences.” georgegruel.com biggorillabooks.com M ay 2019

A Little Prickly …

Opunga Santa Rita Yellow Blossom

One of the most common Sonoran Desert plants is the prickly pear cactus. Nearly every part of the prickly pear is edible, including the fuschia fruits, called “tunas,” and the green pads, or nopales. Arizonans also tend to love their bright blooms, which are among the heartiest and first to appear after seasonal rains. Because of their versatility and robustness, Australians began importing prickly pear cacti in the 1800s, with devastating results. The plants quickly became an invasive weed, smothering over 100,000 square miles—much of it farmland—with their impenetrable spiny paddles. Many farmers were driven off of their land by what they called “green hell.” In 1919, the Australian government formed a board to try to eradicate the prickly pear. First, they tried to manually remove the cactuses, then they tried, also unsuccessfully, to poison the plants using chemicals. In a last-ditch effort, entomologist Alan Dodd introduced a moth aptly called cactoblastis cactorum, which has a larvae that feeds on prickly pear. His efforts worked, and a memorial hall in Queensland now commemorates not Dodd, but the moth that saved the day.

i m a g e s a r i z o n a . c o m M ay 2 019

The year was 1920. Arizona had become a state just eight years prior, and Phoenix was beginning what would become one of the biggest growth spurts in the West. Cotton, which had been in high demand during the war, had attracted pioneers eager to plant their lives in the Salt River Valley. When World War I ended in November 1918, the market for cotton would see a tremendous decline. Many were forced to move to the city, where construction jobs and other opportunities were ripe. For the first time, the U.S. Census showed more people living in Arizona cities and towns than on farms. Growth in Phoenix meant diversity. People from all different backgrounds were moving into the Valley. It was a fertile ground of opportunity, and it didn’t matter if people were rich or poor. Everyone wanted their piece of the dream. These early residents were beginning to build a foundation for the state’s retail, insurance, wholesale, distribution and banking sectors, and as they came, so did bars, brothels and gambling dens. It was, after all, still the Wild West in ways. But less reputable forms of entertainment weren’t the only ones available. It was the beginning of the Age of Jazz and of the proliferation of cinema, and the city’s wealthier and more educated upper crust in particular wanted more sophisticated forms of art.

A DRAMATIC ASIDE Within the theater scene was an undercurrent of discontent. In 1895, theater owners across the nation had held a secret meeting, forming a syndicate that would, in effect, monopolize competition, artistic content and pricing. Playwrights, directors, producers and actors would all feel a stifling effect on their creativity. Many in the theater community wanted to express political ideas and address social issues that many felt were important. Chicago was the first to launch what is now called the Little Theatre Movement. These free-standing theaters gave the industry’s “small players” a venue in which to experiment. They didn’t care about the commercial value of what they were producing so much as they were interested in creating a message, and like many passion-fueled, grassroots efforts, these smaller theaters began to spread like wildfire. M ay 2019

Two Phoenix figures were carefully watching this movement: Harry Behn and Maie Bartlett Heard. They would become the founders of a now-century-old legacy that continues to play a part of our Valley towns.

TAKE IT FROM THE TOP Harry Behn was born in the now-abandoned ghost town of McCabe, located in Arizona’s Bradshaw Mountains. His parents were immigrants, his father from Germany and his mother from Denmark. Harry was a smart and thoughtful young man and a prolific writer, even from a young age. At 18, he was accepted into Stanford University. That summer, as he was preparing to go off to school, he took work as an assistant to photographer Henry Berger. The two took off on assignment to Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks. As the story goes, Berger was called away for a family emergency, leaving young Harry to guard his expensive Kodak camera equipment. While he waited, Henry befriended some Blackfoot Indians from a nearby reservation. He is said to have been invited to join the tribe, and he received the name “Big Wolf Medicine.” Harry went on to earn his first degree from Stanford, and a second from Harvard. He married Alice Lawrence and had two sons, Prescott and Peter, and a daughter, Pamela, and would go on to write screenplays for cinematic hits, including “The Big Parade” in 1925, and “Hell’s Angels” in 1930. He also wrote dozens of children’s books and was a professor of English at University of Arizona in Tucson, where he was put in charge of educational radio programs. It is likely that the series of events that formed the foundation of his young adult years, combined with his intellectual and social affinities led to his eventual friendship with someone else who shared his appreciation for Native tribes, Maie Bartlett Heard. Maie Bartlett Heard was born in Chicago to a wealthy family. Her father was Adolphus C. Bartlett, president of the Hibbard Spencer Bartlett & Company, which would later become True Value Hardware.

i m a g e s a r i z o n a . c o m M ay 2 019

It was not her father’s work that interested Maie so much as his apprentice did. Dwight Heard was handsome and rugged looking, with dark hair and a strong brow. He was ambitious, too. Before long, the two were smitten. Dwight and Maie married in 1893, but all was not perfect. Dwight suffered from health issues, and like many people at the time, he was convinced that the dry desert air would be good for him. In 1895, the couple made the long trek to Phoenix. It would be a good move for them. Dwight became one of the largest land owners in the Salt River Valley, and was president of the Arizona Cotton Growers Association. He started Bartlett-Heard Land and Cattle Company, an extremely lucrative venture that sold beef, alfalfa, citrus and cotton to a growing Phoenix market. In 1912, the same year Arizona achieved statehood, he purchased the Arizona Republican newspaper, which would later become the Arizona Republic. In the meantime, Maie kept herself busy as a leading lady of the new state of Arizona. She involved herself with civic organizations and was passionate about the plight of others. She became an avid collector of art—particularly Native American artifacts. She and Dwight built their 6,000-square-foot home, Casa Blanca, in what is now northern Phoenix. They entertained often, inviting not only the local who’s-who, but national figures as well, including Marshall Field, Harvey S. Firestone, and even Theodore Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover. Politics were a frequent discussion, as was the Native American art the couple had become enamored by. In fact, in 1926, the Heards would purchase a Hohokam ruin. Its artifacts would join their collection in becoming some of the foundational pieces in their Heard Museum.

“

What’s the difference between “theater” and “theatre”? According to the folks at grammar.com, the word “theater” is by far the preferred spelling in American English, while “theatre” is preferred nearly everywhere else. The American preference is a late-20th century development, so uses established prior to then are often spelled the British English way.

It was no surprise, then, that with so much in common, Maie found a friend in Behn.

THE BIRTH OF A THEATER In 1920, Heard and Behm formed a collaboration and joined the Little Theatre Movement. They started the Phoenix Players with a goal of bringing creativity and expression to the Valley through live performance. Four years later, with the troupe growing, the Heards donated their carriage house at Central and McDowell Roads. Just four years later, when the group applied for its articles of incorporation, there were 424 registered members. Phoenix Little Theatre was born. Phoenix was in an adolescent period of growth, still defining its political, economic and social personality. Theater played an important part of that growth, and in particular, smaller theaters like Phoenix Little Theatre were making strides. Through performance, writers, directors and actors could express ideas and touch audiences in ways that cinema, radio and newspapers could not. By 1940, nearly 1,000 members had registered with the theater, which was still putting on shows in the Heards’ converted carriage house. Even the onset of World War II, when families were separated by oceans and bullets, Phoenix Little Theatre continued to open its curtains and entertain the crowds. In 1951, the theater needed a new home. Board president Stephen Shadegg joined the Heard family and Barry Goldwater to secure funding

for a municipal cultural complex. The new theater would be alongside two of Maie Bartlett Heard’s other seminal endeavors, the Phoenix Art Museum and the Phoenix Public Library. It kept growing, incorporating a children’s theater in 1954, and solidifying its role among the core of the community. In 1985, the word "Little" was dropped from the theater’s title, and it would remain “The Phoenix Theatre” until it would eventually be renamed “The Phoenix Theatre Company.” Those who have not yet had the opportunity to experience The Phoenix Theatre Company’s newly renovated space will be more than pleasantly surprised. Beginning in 2013, The Phoenix Theatre Company launched one of the most ambitious expansions of a performing arts center in the Southwest, including a soaring glass atrium lobby, new rehearsal and entertainment spaces, and the addition of the chic and contemporary Hormel Theatre. The Phoenix Theatre Company has continued to realize the vision of its founders, and has likely gone far beyond what they dreamed. Their star-worthy performances challenge and delight audiences of all ages, and their programs are aimed at helping to develop new faces and voices in the performance arts. As the century mark approaches this year, it’s more than a look back at the past. “Our 100th season is a true celebration of everything we’ve been through as

Touch down in exotic destinations not easily accessible via the major carriers and experience arrivals like royalty, often at private terminals where you hardly realize the usual customs and immigration formalities have taken place. Even those annoying customs and immigration cards are filled out for you in advance; all you have to do is sign. You’ll also enjoy an expedited fasttrack through immigration and security lines at major airports. Sink into luxury in your leather seat aboard a small jet or a custom-fitted chartered Boeing 757 jet equipped with fully lie-flat, first-class seats for 50 to 75 passengers, versus the standard 239 onboard a commercial flight. Savor carefully planned cuisine with flavors from around the globe by an international network of award-winning chefs served on fine china, and toast to your journey with your choice from a fine selection of spirits and wine, or a flute of bubbly. Most importantly, enjoy the camaraderie of anywhere from eight to 75 like-minded travelers and relax in the comfort of a totally worryfree experience knowing all the details, such as tipping guides and drivers, making restaurant reservations, and providing personalized attention are taken care of. New destinations on the radar include Kosovo and Serbia (Balkans), Uzbekistan, Georgia; Northern Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands.

Music has a way of opening our hearts and helping us feel more connected to others, to ourselves and to the world around us. It’s a direct line to our emotions and state of being, and it’s no secret that music can help us feel better. Hospitals around the world are using music therapy as a way to ease a patients’ pain and reduce overall anxiety, allowing them to heal faster. There is evidence that music even reduces the side effects of cancer therapy. Listening to music is known to ease the stress level associated with chemotherapy, and it may also suppress patients’ nausea. For patients suffering from intense chronic pain like arthritis, music therapy can reduce the amount of pain medication needed, and gives people a sense of better control over their pain. Perhaps one of the most common and beneficial ways that music helps, is when it’s used to improve the quality of life for dementia patients. It can help to recall memories, assist in communication and improve physical coordination. Music therapy is live and in action here in Arizona at the Phoenix Children’s Hospital and at Carl T. Hayden VA Medical Center. Both partner with Musicians On Call, a non-profit that brings the healing power of live music to the bedsides of patients in healthcare facilities. By bringing live, in-room performances to patients undergoing treatment or who are unable to leave their beds, Musicians On Call volunteers bring a welcomed joy that is palpable.

i m a g e s a r i z o n a . c o m M ay 2 019

Musicians On Call volunteers have performed for over 700,000 patients, families and caregivers across the country since 1999. The organization has been performing for patients in Phoenix since 2016, and has weekly programs at Phoenix Children’s Hospital and the Carl T. Hayden VA Medical Center. Volunteer musicians have played for over 8,400 patients, families and caregivers in Phoenix to-date.

and a second master’s in speech and language pathology. She has also completed specialist and master certifications at Berklee College of Music in Massachusetts.

One such selfless volunteer Arizona musician is Cindy Weir.

“One night, I sang ‘No Worries Here.’ It’s a fun, beachy themed song about being loved and safe and not having any worries. After singing this, the children started following me out of the room and down the hall. The families and staff were delighted to round them all up and bring them back to their beds; it brought some joy and levity to the evening,” she warmly recalls.

Cindy is a highly acclaimed singersongwriter who expresses themes of selfawareness,compassion and transformation through her unique organic style. She’s also an accomplished speech-language pathologist and music teacher. She skillfully infuses creative acoustic guitar harmonies, fluid grooves, inspired vocal melodies and poetic, lyrical imagery though her songs. Cindy conceives and creates music as a vehicle for healing in a variety of settings, with a range of diverse audiences like the patients at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. “What’s great about going room-toroom is that it’s so personal and so intimate. One time a sweet little girl gave me a magnetic flower she’d made, that was really special. I keep it in my guitar case for good juju!” Cindy says. “A grandad was holding a little infant, with a feeding tube in her nose and IVs in her tiny arms. He was just swaying with the groove, rocking her gently, and the most beautiful tears trickled down his cheek as he looked into her sleepy eyes. My guide had to leave the room, it was a very tender moment where you just realize how music touches people so deeply, softening the roughness of life,” She recalls. Cindy holds a master’s degree in humanities from New York University

For the past two years, Cindy has played at both the Phoenix VA Community Center and Phoenix Children’s Hospital. She currently plays a couple times per month for Musicians On Call.

Another talented local musician that participates in the Musicians On Call program is Bruce Vaught. A true artist, Bruce is a singer-songwriter, licensed massage therapist and guitar teacher. “Performing at Phoenix Children’s Hospital served as a reminder of how fortunate I am to be healthy. Seeing children who are ill is difficult, but watching them respond to my music is so fulfilling. I’ve also found that often the family needs the music more than the patients,” Bruce explains. Bruce is an Air Force veteran, and when the Musicians On Call Phoenix chapter was founded, he signed up immediately and performed at the Phoenix VA Hospital, as well as Phoenix Children’s Hospital. “Having family members thank me for providing them an uplifting distraction from their struggles reminded me of the importance of my gift and the power of music,” he says. “My favorite part of our program is the incredible patient interactions, the

Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything. Plato

kids who smile for the first time since admission and the ones that sing along and smile. The parents are touched so deeply they’re overwhelmed with emotion,” says Jenna Zayatz, manager of volunteer services and programs. It’s real-life warm and fuzzy stories like these that show how important the music therapy volunteer program is for the families involved. This musical healing process can bring about miraculous changes for patients. It’s the amazing volunteers at Phoenix Children’s Hospital, wonderful organizations like Musicians On Call and the talented local musicians with the hearts of lions, who make our world better. phoenixchildrens.org musiciansoncall.org cindyweir.com brucevaught.com
