THE ARTISTRY OF MASTER CULTURE MAKER

AB THE FLAGMAN

Ab

the Flagman has been creating art most of his life.

His interest in flags was sparked at a young age at his father’s military burial, igniting Ab’s self-taught career of transforming found objects (mostly wood) into red, white and blue works of art.

Know as “The Flagman” for twenty years, Ab creates flags in all shapes and sizes, from threedimensional forms to flag in the shape of the United States. His abstract vision of such an infinite symbol is what gives his pieces power. His nickname “Ab,” is short for Abstract. He has taken his vision and unique style a step beyond the American flag to other commanding icons, including the eagle, Statute of Liberty and mythological Atlas.

Ab’s art has dominated the outsider art scene and received several awards at Southeastern art festivals. His works have been featured in many national and international galleries—including Art 54 and MW Galleries in New York and Fay Gold Gallery in Atlanta (his hometown). He is also one of a select few artists chosen to decorate the House of Blues in various cities across the country.

A frugal, creative man who’s interesting modern-primitive folk art is often derived from discarded objects found in abandoned, once burgeoning, mills and factories, Ab the Flagman has become a nationally celebrated folk artist whose work often garners between four and five figures per piece.

His eclectic Americana styled wood-works and paintings have been the rage at New York galleries, embellished magazine covers, the New Britain Museum of American Art, House of Blues in Orlando, Texas State University, and graced a multitude of private and public shows from Seattle to Orlando. Expanding beyond the flag motif, his works have expanded to include life size Indians, eagles, intricate sculptures of American Presidents at historical significant sites, and symbolic works incorporating cityscapes and the plight of early settlers. Ab’s works enduring images of American culture. In fact, Ab—who is also a singer, songwriter, musician and filmmaker—prefers the title of ‘culture maker’ to artist. To him, “culture exists in the arts.”

You can see more of Abs work at the AB Gallery, 156 Church St. Marietta GA 30060, or go to abgallery.org.

We invite you join the AB Gallery for their one year anniversary on Feb. 7 2009.

CREATIVE PROCESS

PAT MILLER, THEATER EMORY

“T

here have been two complementary threads in my life: theater and education,” says Pat Miller, Senior Lecturer, Department of Theater, Emory University. “Theater provides the opportunity to immerse yourself into worlds that you will never have the experience of personally knowing; teaching shares what you have learned with others who will never experience the world quite as you have.” Miller’s career in these fields has earned her a national reputation, particularly as a champion of new work and as a mentor to new arts organizations.

From 1986 through 2004 as Theater Emory’s managing director she helped to establish the Playwriting Center, from which new scripts have developed into productions across the country. “Pat has worked incredibly hard to bring artistic dreams to life on stage, and in so doing has improved the lives of everyone in the theater…Two generations of writers and theater artists have come of age under Pat’s nurturing watch,” said Michael Dixon, former literary manager, Guthrie Theater, Minneapolis, in accepting the first Pat Miller Playmaker Award. The annual grant given to an inspiring, innovative theater professional who cultivates great new work was established when Miller retired from Theater Emory. Bonnie Metzgar, organizer of playwright Suzan Lori Park’s national project 365 Days-365 Plays; former associate director, Public Theater; and founding producer, Joe’s Pub, is the 2008 recipient. Michael Dixon, Out of Hand Theater Company with playwrights Frank Manley and Peter Hardy are past grant winners.

Miller produced Theater Emory’s Enough for the Samuel Beckett Festival at The Hague, The Netherlands; a collaboration with SITI (Saratoga International Theatre Institute) for the 1996 Olympics, including a course with participants from seven countries; and helped create Athol Fugard, Naomi Wallace, and new works festivals. She has been the project director for published scripts and organized a symposium on spirituality and art featuring director Anne Bogart, dancer and choreographer Bill T. Jones, and composer Pauline Oliveros.

Miller co-founded and is former co-producing director of Chocolate Bayou Theater Company, which is nationally acclaimed for its plays by contemporary American playwrights. She created a second stage series and co-founded a summer residency for playwrights.

Since August 1986 she has taught theater administration, political theater, introduction to theater, and the study abroad course in 20th c. British Theatre. “One of the great joys of my life has been watching my students grow into my colleagues,” says Miller. Her former students now serve in many cultural organizations.

Miller looks forward to February’s Brave New Works Festival at Emory, including short plays by young playwrights on relationships, and “Primates,” a collaboration with Out of Hand Theater (founded by Emory graduates) for the Evolving Arts festival.

DENNIS HANTHORN, ZURICH GENERAL DIRECTOR OF THE ATLANTA OPERA

hen Dennis Hanthorn arrived at The Atlanta Opera in 2004, he found a company in financial disarray with a declining base of ticket buyers and donors, an inadequate and unpopular performance venue and accumulating debt. In just over four years, Hanthorn has turned the company around financially, enhanced the artistry you see and hear on stage and successfully moved all the company’s performances to the new Cobb Energy Centre, a venue ideally suited for opera productions and the company’s first permanent home in its 29-year-existence.

We talked to Mr. Hanthorn about his job, the changes at The Atlanta Opera and what’s on the horizon.

What are your responsibilities at The Atlanta Opera?

I am responsible for both the artistic and administrative activities of the company. On the administrative side, I make sure we are running the company in a fiscally responsible way. I oversee the marketing and production functions of the company and am intimately involved in our fundraising efforts. Artistically, I make the decisions necessary to present high-quality opera to our growing audience in Metro Atlanta and throughout the Southeast.

These decisions can include what opera we will present, what singers, conductors, and stage directors we will hire, and what sets and costumes we will use.

What is your biggest challenge?

Our biggest challenge each year is balancing our budget. Ticket sales only accounts for 35% of the cost it takes to put on opera, and opera itself is one of the most expensive art forms to present. We must raise millions of dollars from individuals, foundations and 8

corporations each year. We find ourselves focusing more and more on growing and sustaining support from individual donors.

What are you most proud of in your four years with the company?

I am most proud of turning the company around financially. A close second though is the artistic product we put on stage. I take immense pride in the exceptional quality of the productions we present. The caliber of our singers is excellent, our chorus is outstanding and internationally renowned, and our orchestra fine-tunes itself more and more with each production.

I also am proud of the fact that with the new Cobb Energy Centre as our home, Atlanta is becoming a place where the arts are serving the entire metropolitan Atlanta area.

How do you decide what operas to present each season?

I try to balance the four operas we do each season so there’s something for everyone. We typically do two ultra-familiar operas, then a production that’s new or new to the company, and an offering that is appealing to families.

What’s up next for The Atlanta Opera?

In January, we will present the Atlanta premiere of Philip Glass’s opera Akhnaten in collaboration with Emory University’s Schwartz Center. Back at the Cobb Energy Centre, we present Verdi’s Il trovatore in February/March featuring Metropolitan Opera soprano Angela Brown and renowned Polish mezzo-soprano Ewa Podles. We close our season with Wagner’s The Flying Dutchman. You can always check out our web site for more information at www.atlantaopera.org.

ATLANTA GAY MEN’S CHORUS

PERFORMING WITH PANACHE The AGMC’s Select Ensemble Serves the Community with Style “Panache” connotes style and flair—the perfect name for the select ensemble of the Atlanta Gay Men’s Chorus.

The AGMC is in its 28th season of entertaining and educating the greater metro Atlanta community. Routinely singing with over 100 auditioned volunteer members, it’s just not feasible for a group of that size to appear at the many events to which the chorus is invited.

Enter Panache.

“As volunteers, chorus members donate thousands of community-service hours each year,” says Kevin Robison, artistic director. “So if we consider them angels, surely Panache members are archangels for the incredible amount of additional service they provide.”

In addition to high-quality entertainment, an important part of the chorus’ mission is education and outreach. “We strive to always present a positive image of the gay community to the community at large. This can also include young gays, lesbians and bisexuals who are just discovering their sexuality, and benefit from this positive affirmation of their worth.

“We also demonstrate that we are contributing members of the community, part of its quality of life,” Robison continued. “And Panache is critical to making that happen as our goodwill ambassadors, when it’s just not feasible for the entire chorus to be featured.”

As a smaller ensemble with 12 to 16 members, Panache can also perform arrangements and choreography more suited to a tight-knit group. “I call what Panache does ‘class with a bit of sass’,” Robison said. “From jazzy arrangements of Gershwin to ‘Holly Jolly Christmas,’ Panache provides truly professional, world-class entertainment.”

Out in the community, you’ll see Panache caroling at hospices and nursing homes; at the Toy Party, MLK Prayer Breakfast and other worthy events; and as the opening act for visiting celebrities such as Leslie Jordan of “Will and Grace” and “Sordid Lives.”

“I am so proud to be a part of what Panache and the AGMC as a whole bring to the community, and so glad I relocated to Atlanta last year.”

For more information or to have Panache or the chorus participate in a future community or private event, call the AGMC at (404) 320-1030.

By Michael Vigilant What if you had the opportunity to get up close and personal with legendary University of Alabama football coach Paul “Bear” Bryant? In ASF’s production of Bear Country — you can.

Sit in the stands and absorb the wit, wisdom and journey of a man who started life as the child of dirt poor sharecropper and went on to become an Alabama icon and the national standard by which college football coaches are judged.

(Octagon Theatre) Due to some mild profanity this production is recommended for ages 12+.

THE ARTISTRY SHOWGUIDE TRIBUTE OF MASTER PHOTOGRAPHER

SYNCHRONICITY CHESTER HIGGINS PERFORMANCE GROUP AT AGE 11

S

ynchronicity Performance Group, the only Atlanta theater company dedicated to collaboration and supporting women artists, is 11 years old this season.

What began as an idea among 15 like-minded artists has grown into a company that stages six shows a year and has a budget of more than $475,000. Those 15 people came together in 1997, when Michele Pearce and Julie Oshins—two of Synchronicity’s co-founders, corralled colleagues to talk about work that excited them. By the third meeting, only remained—Pearce, Oshins, Hope Mirlis and Rachel May, who today is Synchronicity’s producing artistic director. First project: a staged workshop of Crime and Punishment.

Annually, Synchronicity presents a Bold Voices series of three contemporary plays for adults and three Family Series productions. It also runs Playmaking for Girls—an outreach program for at-risk teenage girls. Synchronicity has been singled out for praise by the Metropolitan Atlanta Arts & Business Council, the SNOWgerda: Tracy Vaden Moore Georgia Assembly of Community Arts Agencies, the Metro plays the heroine, Gerda, in “The Regional Youth Detention Center, the Women’s Division Snow Queen.” Credit: Stacey Bode. of the Georgia Psychological Association, Creative Loafing, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Bank of America, Theatre Communications Group and the Suzis, Atlanta’s professional theater awards.

Perhaps Synchronicity’s most important project to date is the company-created Women + War because, May says, “it was the absolute culmination of everything we believed in.” It involved community, discussed important world issues, was theatrically interesting, and gave everyone involved an equal voice.

Welcome Home, Jenny Sutter, this season’s Bold Voices opener, about a female Marine just back from Iraq, included veterans and their network in rehearsals and post-show talkbacks. With Looking for the Pony, which opens Feb. 6, Synchronicity teams with members of the breast cancer community to increase dialogue and share important information.

The Family Series opens Dec. 5 with a musical adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Snow Queen and Synchronicity’s largest cast ever (14).

May continues to lead Synchronicity, with Amy Wratchford, an arts administrator and former New York actor, as managing director. Oshins left in 2001; Pearce and Mirlis at the end of 2006.

“The idea of going from a ‘we’ to an ‘I’ was hard,” May says. “But then I realized I could create a ‘we’ in a different way.”

IN CHESTER A GALAXYHIGGINS NOT SO FAR AWAY

TG

he body alaxytext Music will Theatre’s be like this. artistic and likedirector, this S. Craig McConnell, is what some call a rare breed these days. He is a native Atlantan, and spent his early years singing in church choirs, staging shows with friends in a neighbor’s basement, playing the piano and lip-syncing to famous singers in his bedroom. He caught the performing bug at an early age, and music has always been an integral part of his being. Craig’s love affair with theatre began in high school, when he portrayed the title role in the chorus’ production of You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown.

After earning his Bachelor’s degree in Music from UGA in 1984, Craig began appearing in local theatre companies, as well as participating in some regional tours. The theatre became refuge for Craig, a place where he could be his own person. As in his affiliation with All Saints’ Episcopal Church, it also became a place where his spirituality could blossom. In these places, Craig often found the love and inclusiveness that was lacking in the organized religion he grew up with. In the early 1990’s Craig began working as a musical director, and was awarded one of Creative Loafing’s “Best of...” awards for his work on Dunwoody Stagedoor’s Working.

In 1997, Craig and friend, Barry West, formed a new company, focused solely on musical theatre.

While not the initial focus, the then Galaxy Productions implemented a practice of diversity and cast two African-Americans in their first production, the musical I Do! I Do!, which opened in the early 1960’s with Mary Martin and Robert Preston. The show was produced at Neighborhood Playhouse, where Galaxy made its early home. This was followed by an eclectic string of shows including Working, based upon the book by Studs Terkel and Falsettos, which centers around the life and relationships of Marvin, a gay, Jewish father. In 2003, Galaxy moved its operation to Onstage Atlanta with its production of Bye Bye Birdie.

In 2004, Galaxy obtained its 501(c)(3) non-profit status, and Galaxy Productions, Inc., became Galaxy Music Theatre, Inc., with Craig as Executive Director and Mr. West as Artistic Director. Soon after the forming of the new company, Galaxy was privileged to be a part of the 2005 Piccolo Spoleto Festival in Charleston, SC, with Pamela Parker’s Tallulah and Hattie: Dead at the Pearly Gate Café.

The role of diversity continued in the new company and was officially made a part of its mission “to produce quality well-known and original works in an intimate, neighborhood environment, while creating an enjoyable musical theatre experience for diverse participants both in front of and behind the curtain” in 2006. When Mr. West left Galaxy in 2006, to become the new artistic director for Onstage Atlanta, Craig took on the dual role as Executive/Artistic Director. In August of 2006, Galaxy mounted a highly successful production of Dreamgirls, followed by a critically acclaimed presentation of Smokey Joe’s Café: The Songs of Lieber and Stoller.

As it has with many other arts and other non-profit organizations, the economy and other concerns have taken their toll on Galaxy. However, they continue to be hopeful for a bright and long future as a company that continues its rich history of quality productions while continuing to focus on bringing diversity to the stage through its program selection, casting and collaboration with other companies.
