WELCOME IT IS MY PLEASURE TO WELCOME YOU TO IRVINE BARCLAY THEATRE.

Throughout the Barclay’s 25th anniversary season, we have witnessed the work of some of the world’s most innovative artists. And I am even more excited about our 26th.

In this program book, the last one of the season, I am pleased to announce the International Contemporary Dance Series, curated by Douglas C. Rankin, the Barclay’s programming advisor and president emeritus. Please check out the enclosed flyer in this program book — the invited artists exemplify the eclectic diversity and dramatic range of contemporary dance.

For the first time in the Barclay’s history, we are also launching a Jazz Series. The amazing roster of musicians assembled for this series covers a spectrum of styles — from Big Band sounds to the jazz grooves of the new generation of artists.

We are indebted to all who help us maintain the Barclay — a truly unique community resource: our staff and our board of directors; our public partners — the City of Irvine and UCI; and you, the audience. Your continued contribution supports the programs we present and allows us to serve you and the entire community.

STUNT DOG EXPERIENCE

OUR MISSION

Chris Perondi is the “Stunt Dog Guy,” and his famous stunt dogs are out of this world! Director Chris Perondi has been entertaining audiences of all sizes since 1999, producing over 3,500 shows in his career. Over 2,000 have been stage shows for major theme parks such as Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO; Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, TN; Stone Mountain Theme Park in Georgia; Worlds of Fun in Kansas City, MO; Valleyfair Theme Park in Shakopee, MN; Long Island Wildlife Park, NY; and Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, CA. The dogs have been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Animal Planet’s Pet Star, Good Morning America, and The Early Show on CBS, among others. They have also starred in commercials and have been featured on the news and in magazines all across the country.

All the dogs in the shows are trained by using positive training methods with the use of a clicker and toy motivation.

They all have unique talents and signature moves to showcase. The trainers work with each dog’s individual ability, athleticism and intelligence, subsequently placing them in segments where they excel the most. The dogs enjoy performing because they are doing what they love.

Our mission is to promote responsible pet ownership, pet adoption, spaying and neutering, and encourage everyone to spend more time with their pets. The “Stunt Dog Guy” adopts all his dogs from shelters from across the country and has been promoting this message, along with the importance of spaying and neutering, since 1999.

Additional Thanks: We would like to thank Center Stage Artists, and the entire Irvine Barclay Theatre staff!

PROGRAM All Choreography by The Company, under the direction of Jacques Heim Humachina II

(Recreation 2015, West Coast Premiere)

Humachina is an exploration of mankind’s oldest and ongoing relationship with the evolution of innovation. The invention of the wheel set into motion the discovery of both the folly and fortitude of the human capacity and capability to cooperate as a society.

Through the power of community, our propensity to discover and understand the complex world around and within us reveals limitless abilities to open uncharted pathways to new worlds and new solutions.

The Making of L.O.S.T. [Losing One’s Self Temporarily]

Produced by Jennifer Cheng Commissioned by the Cheng Family Foundation

As the popular saying goes, “there are always two sides to every coin.” In DIAVOLO, that coin is L.O.S.T. [Losing One’s Self Temporarily] and the two sides are Passengers and Cubicle.

The show, L.O.S.T., explores how our physical space can affect and manipulate our identities. Passengers [Part 1] features everydayinspired characters who embark on a journey together aboard an abstract train, a journey that slowly takes over their individual identities. Cubicle [Part 2] features an environment that compresses the individual into one singular identity, wiping out their uniqueness until they physically remove their uniforms, breaking free from the establishment, revealing their true selves.

Join Artistic Director, Jacques Heim, for a unique and creative conversation about the concept, process and creation of DIAVOLO’s newest show, L.O.S.T. [Losing One’s Self Temporarily]. Featured in this talk will be a montage of photos and videos of the journey of the show, illuminating the formation of the concept; photos and videos of rehearsals; interviews with the Creative Team; concluding with a showing of the Work-in-Progress of Passengers [Part 1] and after intermission, the full performance of Cubicle [Part 2].

Part 1: Passengers

(2016)

From the moment we wake up, we set in motion a chain of actions that has us catching up — catching up to lost time, missed trains, heavy traffic and looming deadlines. We become unwitting PASSENGERS of our own lives as we saunter and bump along with the vehicle called life. Reckoning with themes of journey and transition, we see the harmonious yet tumultuous balance between the identities of passenger and driver and how each individual is a complex embodiment of both.

INTE R MISSIO N

Part 2: Cubicle

(2015)

Set in an abstract corporate America, Cubicle explores the human condition under cramped control and a monotonous reality, exposing an underlying counterbalance between freedom and anarchy in the workplace. Anonymity and confinement set the pace in this corporate sea of grey as we witness a multitude of shifting landscapes as abstract representations of a familiar work environment. We witness the struggle to maintain a sense of individuality on the corporate climb as the performers, boxing in both their sanity and distinctiveness, labor against a homogenized work mentality, finding solidarity only within themselves and each other.

GRÉGOIRE MARET There is a balance that must be struck when one is an expert at something. There is the pressure to share your gifts at the whim of others, which requires the ability to bend to their demands. Then there is the need to express one’s own substance with the talent that has been honed.

On his new recording, Wanted, and his second as a leader, the exceptional chromatic harmonica player, Grégoire Maret, once again finds himself moving away from his complementary duties as a sideman, and focusing on his role as a leader with his own musical vision. Naturally, Maret finds the art of collaboration an important part of developing as an artist, but he is especially aware of the pressures imposed by the needs of others, and the necessity of removing these outside influences in order to get to one’s core identity.

Over the span of his career, Maret has found himself alongside many musical masters, including Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Cassandra Wilson and Steve Coleman, adapting to and absorbing many different styles, as many in his openminded generation do. The challenges were exciting and educational.

Maret was exposed to a variety of musical genres in his native Switzerland. His parents introduced him to soul, jazz and R&B. It was the music of such masters as Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, Wayne Shorter and Louis Armstrong that immediately struck home and inspired Maret. It was their example that shined brightest as he approached the creation of his own recording, as he looked to make an album that he would have connected to when he was younger.

Going into the studio, Maret knew that he wanted to shape his music using all the tools at his disposal. He assembled a tight, core quartet: pianist Gerald Clayton, bassist James Genus and drummer Terri Lyne Carrington. Maret wanted to treat the initial sessions as Miles Davis had done in his Kind

of Blue sessions, namely to embrace the moment at hand with great musicians.

Maret was able to assemble a who’s who of the jazz world to appear as special guests on Wanted. First off, he approached the fantastic drummer Terri Lyne Carrington to play as part of his core group band, and also to co-produce the album with himself. He also enlisted Chris Potter on bass clarinet, guitarists Ricardo Vogt, Marvin Sewell and Kevin Breit, pianist Jon Cowherd, organist Shedrick Mitchell, keyboardist Bobby Sparks, arranger Gil Goldstein, percussionist Mino Cinelu and Kofo the Wonderman on talking drum.

Maret has had a deep connection to voice since the beginning of his musical life, as he was initially a singer who subsequently took up the chromatic harmonica, an instrument which he sees as an extension of, or the instrument closest to, the voice. So, it should not be a surprise that he brought in a number of fabulous vocalists to perform on Wanted, including Mark Kibble of Take 6, Frank McComb, Dianne Reeves, Luciana Souza, Ivan Lins and Maret’s early mentor, Jimmy Scott, who passed away shortly after the recording.

The album begins with “2Beats,” a grooving love song featuring lyrical highlights from Maret, Terri Lyne

Carrington and the rapper, Kokayi, whom he met through Steve Coleman. The title track has an incredible vibe created by utilizing the voice of Maret’s friend, Kibble, and Maret’s expressive harmonica. Miles Davis’ “Blue in Green” takes a page from Meshell Ndegeocello’s book of soul and is a perfect choice for Chris Potter’s dynamic bass clarinet and Gerald Clayton’s tasteful piano. The soulful rendition of Onaje Allan Gumbs’ “Diary of a Fool” features Frank McComb’s wonderful voice, while the amazing Dianne Reeves lends hers to “Heaven’s,” an emotive ballad written by Reeves and Maret.

Luciana Souza delivers a lovely wordless vocal to “Groove,” a great ensemble workout with some dazzling solos. Maret turns Wayne Shorter’s classic, “Footprints,” into a slinky, bobbing vehicle for improvisation. The wistful “Voo Do Pássaro” features a dramatic wordless vocal turn from Brazilian legend, Ivan Lins. Arranged by the great Gil Goldstein, “Talking Drums” is an epic piece in three movements inspired by Lins, which focuses on the essence of music: namely voice and drums, the latter provided by master percussionists, Mino Cinelu and Kofo The Wonderman. The recording concludes with “26th of May,” which was written for and performed by the legendary vocalist, Jimmy Scott, who hired Maret for his first gigs in New York, taught him to play a ballad and gave his last heartfelt performance to Maret.

Grégoire Maret’s Wanted shows a complete artist coming full circle. Maret utilizes all that he has learned from his life as a sideman and leader in this entrancing and highly listenable recording.

CÉCILE McLORIN SALVANT Cécile McLorin Salvant was born and raised in Miami, Florida of a French mother and a Haitian father. She started classical piano studies at five, and began singing in the Miami Choral Society at eight.

In 2010, she won the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Vocals Competition in Washington D.C. Cécile performs unique interpretations of unknown and scarcely recorded jazz and blues compositions.
