Of the four categories showcased in this issue’s State of the Arts guide (see p. 41), which are you anticipating most for the fall?

TIMOTHY BRASHARES Music and visual arts are a big part of what inspires me in life. Although I don’t always keep up with modern trends, I never turn a blind eye to what’s new. As far as theater and dance, I’ll take a pass.

BRYAN A. HOLLERBACH It embarrasses me to confess that I haven’t attended the theater in ages and that I know zilch about dance, but I do harbor an enormous fondness for and interest in music and visual arts of diverse types.

ANDREW NELMS Being a graphic designer, I actually enjoy all four of the categories in the State of the Arts guide. However, I am not that great of a dancer. (Just don’t tell my 2-year-old daughter.)

letter

from the

EDITOR ‌WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL, I WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH bedazzled scrunchies and makeup and everything to do with playing any sport with a ball. That changed, though, when my family moved literally behind a dance studio. Before long, I had signed up for my first dance class and was squeezing into tights and leotards. I even allowed my mom to do my hair.

Before I knew it, I had fallen in love with dance. I began dancing close to every night of the week and on weekends. Ten years later, I went to college, and my dancing career came to a close. To this day, I miss the beautiful art of dance, and on occasion, I find myself getting lost in music, swaying to the rhythm, imagining I’m back in an open studio.

Reading through this week’s edition, which features Ladue News’ inaugural State of the Arts guide, took me back to that place. The guide, which starts on p. 41, showcases the fall exhibitions and programming from more than 36 local arts organizations divided into four categories: theater, visual arts, music and, of course, dance. We hope State of the Arts not only helps you explore the shows and productions gracing the St. Louis area this fall, but also reflects the dedication, time and passion that artists and curators put into their work for us all to enjoy.

All the best,

Alecia Humphreys

he power of women is the heartbeat of change.”

These words, displayed on the Women’s Foundation of Greater Saint Louis’ website, encompass everything the group stands for and believes in.

The foundation is invested in and dedicated to making a better society for women and girls. Since 2007, members of the group have been providing education and funding for the challenges of women and children in St. Louis. The group is affiliated with the national Women’s Funding Network, a group of funding organizations that are changing communities through thoughtful charitable investment.

Through fundraising and raising of awareness, people like the board’s president, Jill Nowak, are always seeking to make a bigger impact on the community.

The foundation goes through strategic planning to figure out where it can be most effective.

“We want to help women prepare themselves for viable careers and break down barriers,” Nowak says.

Recently, it hosted an event at KWMU, UMSL at Grand Center about women and the wage gap. The foundation, paired with KWMU radio, hosted Dr. Barbara Gault of the Institute for Women’s Policy Research, who presented her findings on the status of

women in St. Louis.

“It revealed that if current trends continue, it’ll be 2066 before parity in pay,” Nowak says. “We drilled down on data in the St. Louis region and are taking some of that data to develop programs around it.”

Next up for the foundation is an annual event called Making a Difference from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Sept. 21 at the Hilton St. Louis Frontenac. This year, the speaker is St. Louis native and bestselling author Susan Solovic, emphasizing a theme of “Stronger Women for a Better Community.”

“This has been our hallmark event each year,” Nowak says. The evening will include a reception, presentation by Susan Solovic, silent auction and book signing. Each year the foundation honors a local woman or organization with the Making a Difference Award. This year Martha Uhlhorn, a founding member of the Women’s Foundation of Greater St. Louis, will be honored for the difference she has made in the lives of women and girls in the St. Louis community.

Nowak says Solovic has been successful through taking nontraditional routes and is an entrepreneur, author and media personality.

“When we thought about economic empowerment of women and nontraditional careers, we instantly thought of her,” Nowak says. “She calls herself a serial

entrepreneur and will be a great tie into our theme this year.”

Making a Difference highlights women’s issues while supporting the program and grants the Women’s Foundation of Greater Saint Louis provides to agencies serving women and girls in the greater St. Louis area.

he 6th annual Cardinals Wives for Wishes event was held at Fleming’s Steakhouse in Frontenac. It was an exclusive party with St. Louis Cardinal wives, their spouses and several major donors in an effort to raise funds to grant wishes. This year’s theme was Havana Nights. The evening kicked off with a cocktail reception, with live Latin band Clave Sol and salsa dancers. There was a short program emceed by Fox Sports Midwest’s Jim Hayes highlighting some of the Wish Kids, with a “Fund the Wish” donation. The night of dancing resumed with “That One Guy” from the stadium, Todd Thomas, who kept the joint hopping all night long. The Cardinals Wives have raised more than $775,000 in the past five years granting over 150 local wishes. Susan and Jerry Ullman served as co-chairs for the evening.

Held at the Persimmon Woods Golf Club in Weldon Springs, the day featured a fish-to-lower-your-golf-score competition, before 18 holes of great golf, followed by cocktails, a dinner reception and a live auction. Through individual and family support, education, public awareness and advocacy, the Association strives to benefit the lives of people with Down Syndrome and their families.

I have a 19-year-old daughter who has Down Syndrome, so I got involved with the organization when she was 3 months old and have been involved ever since. There are so many programs that [the Down Syndrome Association of Greater St. Louis] provides that no one else in St. Louis is providing for people with Down Syndrome. It makes it very important to me to raise as much money as possible to make those programs happen.

A PRIVATE OASIS

By Sarah Kloepple

eather Helms of Schaub+Srote Architects transformed the master bathroom of this St. Charles home into a welcome oasis. Helms worked with the client previously on her children’s rooms and common rooms. When the client was ready to remodel the bathroom, Helms’ goal was to create a space for her to get some well-deserved relaxation. They first focused on the cabinetry.

“She had a huge bathroom and really no storage space,” Helms says.

Instead of having mirroring vanities on either side of the room, the vanities were placed side-by-side to create storage cabinets on the opposing wall. The white color of the cabinetry is complemented by gray limestone floors that have an area ruglike pattern. Everything is accented with soft, muted colors to reference the fabrics and textures in the master bedroom. The mosaic tiles on the walls surrounding the bathtub were custom-made.

“The bathroom, when I got there, was really dark, and everything felt kind of heavy,” Helms says. “We wanted to give it a lighter, airier feel.”

In the end, Helms says the bathroom is a place the client can escape to at the end of the day, close the doors and breathe.

“Folk artists are influenced by their community, and they have been for centuries,” Kodner says. He cites a classic example from the late 1940s: Grandma Moses’ painting Sleet Storm, currently on display (and available for purchase) at the Kodner Gallery.

Neighbors trudge through the winterscape bundled up against the cold. The thick, sparkly snow clings to trees, simple homes and a covered bridge. Kodner points out the thoughtful elements – a scarf flittering in the wind, the depth of the hills, the changing sky, the use of glitter to create snow on the trees – that Moses remembered and replicated from her childhood in vivid, skillful detail.

Another piece he admires in the gallery is a wood sculpture of a black military officer that Kodner guesses is from the 1940s. Here, the unknown artist wasn’t overly concerned with the correct type of insignia on the man’s shirt; instead, he focused his attention on the figure’s smirk, and the angular nose and eyes that recall traditional African masks.

Outside of galleries and inside homes, these one-of-a-kind creations make strong statements and imbue spaces with warmth. David Kent Richardson’s house in Dogtown is a living, ever-evolving example.

His entry room holds a gypsy’s fortunetelling table that, he is told, has its roots in France. Elsewhere, an African talisman made of iron and string wards off evil spirits. A tin steamer ship chugs atop a hutch in the kitchen, a wooden butler statue offers a clean towel in the bathroom and a 90-year-old papier-mâché Mardi Gras mask keeps silent watch over the lower level. And those are just a few examples of the home’s folk art.

Richardson – the interior designer behind Bar Les Freres and the owner of David Kent Richardson Decorations and Interior Designs on The Hill – is much more interested in the story behind each object, where it came from and how unusual it is, rather than what its monetary value might be. His method for choosing which pieces to add to his home is simple: “If I like it, I like it. It touches me.”

He’s acquired art from a multitude of sources: friends, a renovated church, farmhouses. He also has a particular fondness for Panorama Folk Art, located on Cherokee Street.

A wooden table carved into a donkey, a hand-embroidered footstool, a low chair with bowed legs made from bull horns: All of the pieces are functional, meant to be lived on and among. And that’s important to Richardson. “If I can’t share it with other people, what’s the use of owning it?” he says.

Together in his home, the pieces coexist as though they have always been there, like heirlooms lovingly passed down from one generation to the next.

Whatever form it takes, folk art is intensely personal. It is made from materials that offer an intimate peek into the artist’s everyday life.

Still, it’s only a peek.

Many of the pieces on display at “Self-Taught Genius” have biographies attached to them, but others do not. And these are the ones that are the most captivating: Where was it made? What did this person do for a living, and what was his or her family like?

Was he or she happy? Well-educated? Illiterate? Did the artist live a long and healthy life – or a short, stricken one?

Folk art begs to know these answers, and it’s up to us to reflect upon the legacy the creators of such art have left behind. Asking these questions – and living among their work – is a very good place to start.

lthough they have only been around for four years, RedKey Realty Leaders continues to break local and regional market records.

Owner and founder Jill Butler braved the real estate slump at the time to begin a company centered on a culture of love, service and fun.

In its first year, the agency achieved 300 percent growth.

“Our agents are knowledgeable and have a lot of experience,” Butler says. “We train consistently and understand the market.”

Maintaining a culture of love, service and fun is hugely important to Butler and her team. She says

the energy is “great,” but that it’s hard to define. She believes a positive state of mind can lead people to solve problems efficiently and work better.

“We’re successful because we can solve problems,” she says. “There are always going to be challenges in life and in the real estate business. But we’re solutionoriented, not problem-focused. And that shows up in our hard numbers.”

To help foster this positive environment, Butler says the RedKey team celebrates one another’s successes.

Their weekly sales meetings start with sharing good news and talking about who helped whom that week.

“Our team is strong because we have so many

different areas of expertise,” she says. “We take time to recognize who went the extra mile. We don’t complain– we look for solutions. The staff knows that if they treat the agents with respect, the agents will pay it forward to their clients.”

RedKey recently expanded from its original office in Frontenac, and now it has an office in Chesterfield, too.

Butler has her hopes high and wants to have a total of four offices in the future.

“We want to grow, but we don’t want to grow just to grow,” she says. “We want to keep our positive culture throughout the offices with agents who have the same vision.”

t’s hard to believe, but summer’s almost over. As mid-August and the shifting of the seasons next month approach, more than just the leaves are changing. In the arts world, September traditionally starts a new season of entertainment, as well, and in that spirit, it’s our pleasure to present Ladue News’ inaugural State of the Arts guide.

The following pages preview more than 35 local arts organizations’ fall exhibitions, gallery openings, plays, musicals, ballet performances and so much more. Divided into four categories – music, theater, visual arts and dance – each section highlights a different area of St. Louis’ rich, diverse and thriving arts scene. We feel incredibly lucky to live in a city with such a vibrant arts community, and we hope State of the Arts acts as a to-go guide for all of this season’s thrilling coming attractions.

‌The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis It’s the 50th anniversary season for The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis, which opens in September with a production of Stephen Sondheim’s multiple Tony Award-winning musical, Follies, from Sept. 7 through Oct. 2. Follies is followed by the world premiere of Until the Flood, a one-woman play by playwright Dael Orlandersmith, commissioned

by The Rep in the wake of the turmoil that followed the August 2014 fatal shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson.

The show is performed from Oct. 12 through Nov. 6. After that heavy subject matter, The Rep returns to tradition with its holiday offering of A Christmas Carol from Nov. 30 through Dec. 24.

The Fabulous Fox Theatre, which has focused on professional touring productions since its 1982 reopening and conversion from a movie theater to a show venue, has an ambitious lineup scheduled for its 2016-17 season.

The season opens Sept. 13, when the 2014 Tony Award-winner for Best Musical, A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder, takes the stage through Sept. 25. That’s followed from Nov. 15 to 27 with the St. Louis premiere of Fun Home, Fox Theatricals’ own 2014 Tony Award-winning production. Following Fun Home from Dec. 6 through 18 will be Finding Neverland, a musical about the backstory of Peter Pan. In addition, the musical Once returns for the weekend of Sept. 30 through Oct. 2, and the ever-popular Annie is back from Dec. 2 to 4.

New Line Theatre

It was 20 years ago today (or thereabouts) that New Jewish Theatre began its impressive run under founder and artistic director Kathleen Sitzer (at right). A few years back, the company moved from the lower level of the Jewish Community Center to the spacious, newly built Wool Studio Theatre on the main floor of the Staenberg Family Complex & Education Building. The season begins on Oct. 6 with Golda’s Balcony, a drama about the late Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir, which runs through Oct. 30. That’s followed by a revival of one of the theater’s most popular productions, Driving Miss Daisy, with Sitzer in the titular role. It will be performed from Dec. 1 to 18.

New Line Theatre is wrapping up its celebratory 25th anniversary season this month with a production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s one-woman show, Tell Me on a Sunday. New Line’s founder and artistic director, Scott Miller, notes that Tell Me on a Sunday actually was “presented on Broadway as the first half of Song & Dance, with Bernadette Peters,” (shown below) the same entertainer who will perform at The Rep’s gala. Tell Me on a Sunday runs from Aug. 11 through 27 at New Line’s comfortable new home, the Marcelle Theater in Grand Center. The company’s 2016-17 season will open Sept. 29 with the 1969 adult jazz/rock musical Celebration, by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt of The Fantasticks fame.

Celebration will run through Oct. 22.

Stray Dog Theatre Founded in January 2003 and named after a legendary bohemian café in St. Petersburg, Russia, Stray Dog Theatre presently is concluding its 13th season with a production of the campy rock show Bat Boy the Musical, “ripped from a bizarre tabloid headline.” The troupe’s 2016-17 season officially opens in October with a presentation of the cult classic Rocky Horror, followed in December (1 to 17) by its holiday offering, Buyer & Cellar, a one-man comedy about an underemployed actor who worked in the lavish basement of legendary performer Barbra Streisand, who designed her basement to look like a street with fancy retail shops.

When Napoleon and his armies took over Spain during the Peninsular War, from 1808 to 1814, the alreadyweary Spanish responded with valor.

In the 1810s, Romantic painter and printmaker Francisco de Goya responded with The Disasters of War. This series of prints is known for its stark depictions of the cruelty heaped upon the Spanish citizenry at large: assault, starvation and humiliation among them. In its “Impressions of War” exhibition, from Aug. 5 to Feb. 12, the Saint Louis Art Museum will present Goya’s Disasters, alongside Jacques Callot’s Miseries of War from the 1630s, Max Beckmann’s Hell from 1919 and Daniel Heyman’s portrait series Amman Portfolio. Look to “Conflicts of Interest: Art and War in Modern Japan” from Oct. 16 to Jan. 8 as a vibrant counterpoint, highlighting the country’s artistic buoyancy following wars with China and Russia, through colorful postcards, games, woodblock prints and more.

Saint Louis Art Museum, 1 Fine Arts Drive, St. Louis, 314-721-0072, slam.org

Forgettable objects – green beans, plugs, clothespins – suddenly demand our attention when they’re blown up to giant sizes and infused with color, only to fold under the weight of their own exaggerated mass in “The Ordinary Must Not Be Dull: Claes Oldenburg’s Soft Sculptures,” a series the New York-based artist began more than 50 years ago. Although there’s lots to love about a certain Swedish megaretailer and its ilk, we’ve lost the singular, meticulous attention to detail that gives each pedestrian piece an extraordinary personality. Rediscover it at “Exquisite Everyday: 18th-Century Decorative Arts Objects From the J. Paul Getty Museum,” where chamber pots and gravy boats are elevated to high art. More than 7,000 St. Louis buildings are doomed to become dust; many of them are homes.

But homes are more than just buildings – energy and aspiration lived there, too. A German architecture firm pulls what’s left from the detritus to create something fresh in “raumlaborberlin: 4562 Enright Avenue.”

The three shows run concurrently through Oct. 16 at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation.

St. Louis Artists’ Guild For some, it’s a little deflating after the summer solstice has passed, knowing that the days will start shortening. Others fully embrace and revel in the prolonged darkness. Both night owls and those with achluophobia will find flickers of inspiration in the St. Louis Artists’ Guild photographic exhibition “Illuminating the Night.” Through traditional and digital photography, it’s a peek into the changes that take place around us and within us once day turns to dark. The exhibition remains on view until Sept. 3.

Bruno David Gallery Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis If the medium is truly the message, then “Kelley Walker: Direct Drive” has an awful lot to say. In techniques as varied as silkscreen, 3-D technology, sculpture, painting and collage, “Drive” takes over every part of the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, from the galleries to outdoor spaces, all the way to the building’s façade itself – a first for the museum – from Sept.

16 to Dec. 31. Walker’s many pieces wrestle with the idea of how constantly shifting images embed themselves deeply in our collective consciousness through their use and reuse, even as they challenge and subvert society’s most prominent touchstones.

Bruno David Gallery’s 11th season brings six artists to its Grand Center space with an opening reception at 6 p.m. on Sept. 16.

Ann Wimsatt’s “Not a Passive Journey” renders the world’s most iconic cities in ink and watercolor paintings, but plays with scale and color in a way that forces a new perspective on even the most familiar skylines. Using the permanence of sculpture and clay, Kahlil Irving seeks to reshape and solidify ideas of race and community in “Undocumented.” Through breaking down structure and building anew, Chris Kahler’s paintings in “Metaphemeral” blur the passage of time, the line between real and imagined forms, and the nature of understanding itself. Van McElwee’s video work, Sarah Harford’s Swing sculpture installation and Michael Jantzen’s Deconstructing My Chairs photomontage also are well worth a visit. These solo exhibitions will remain on display at the gallery through Nov. 5.

Kodner Gallery The spirit of renowned artists, including Thomas Hart Benton and George Caleb Bingham, echoes throughout “Missouri Masters, Past and Present,” at the Kodner Gallery. Rivers sluicing through rolling hills and farmers hard at work crop up frequently in Bryan Haynes’ trademark style of New Regionalism. Joseph Orr masterfully manipulates acrylics to portray placid Ozark landscapes (and serve as a reminder of how peaceful Osage Beach can be), and Fred Conway’s work in watercolor, oil and mixed media finds the beauty in sport as well as the abstract. See these and other Missouri masters through Sept. 30.

Craft Alliance Center of Art + Design The Holocaust is often described as the darkest chapter of human history, and sober reminders of the 6 million lives lost endure in photographs, documents and family history. And although the works showcased in “Between the Lines: Roy Strassberg and Bunny Burson” are emotional interpretations of these horrific events in vastly different media, both artists seek to honor the Jewish commandment of tikkun olam: righteous acts to help repair the world. Strassburg is known for his bone boxes, on which are etched representations of concentration camps. German letters from Burson’s grandparents are harrowing testimonies about fleeing their home as the Nazis drew closer, and here they’re layered to reflect rugged topography – and a desperate urgency to escape. “Between the Lines” opens Aug. 26 and wraps on Oct. 23.

Consider the duality of nature: how something so vast can seem so intimate and how the wildness of the outdoors can seem so calming. That same push-pull aesthetic comes to the Duane Reed Gallery with the work of Jun Kaneko and Jeffrey Vaughn.

Kaneko is a master of large-scale sculptural ceramics, but his pieces never overwhelm. Instead, they’re fanciful and inviting, evoking a whimsical sense of play. Alton, Illinois, native Jeffrey Vaughn treks into state and national parks to find inspiration in nature, then renders it in verdant brushstrokes that bring added depth to his subjects in a way not even photographs can replicate. The two artists’ work goes on display on Sept. 9 and remains at the gallery through Oct. 15.

The Luminary ARTS.BLACK is a leading arts-criticism platform that believes art is a conversation, not a monologue. With this in mind, it brings “Empowerpoint” to The Luminary, a look at how artists use humor – even if it’s rooted in trauma – on social media to critique and comment on culture in real time.

Visit “Concept” over in its main gallery, which will feature evocative work from St. Louis- and Oklahoma-based artists for The Luminary’s Triennial exhibition. “Concept” hopes to strengthen bonds between the artists while amassing a larger regional audience. Both exhibitions open on Sept. 2. (Both openings also will feature a new curatorial platform, STNDRD, by Sage Dawson.) Oct. 14 brings a diverse trio of solo exhibitions: Artists will explore fake record labels, inflatable architecture, crypto-currencies and more.

The Sheldon Dan Kiley is a modernist landscape architect whose co-collaborators read like a who’s who of the world’s most influential designers – I.M. Pei, Eero Saarinen, Louis Kahn – and whose projects include Chicago’s Milton Lee Olive Park, New York’s Ford Foundation Atrium and our own Gateway Arch grounds. “The Landscape Legacy of Dan Kiley” showcases 43 photographs at the Bernoudy Gallery at The Sheldon on Sept. 9. St. Louisan Amy Reidel harnesses the Midwest’s volatile weather – and its seemingly near-constant threat of danger – in her multimedia exhibition “Radar home, 11.8.13.,” which debuts on Oct. 7. The Bellwether Gallery hosts “Paint for Peace: Outside-In” starting on Oct. 7. It features large plywood panels that were used to board up windows in Ferguson and south city after the 2014 protests, painted with messages of togetherness and hope. Oct. 7 also debuts “This I Believe: Work by Whitfield School Art Students” in the AT&T Gallery of Children’s Art, where kids express what’s most important to them across a range of artistic disciplines.

To honor the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum’s 10th birthday in its Sam Fox School home, Washington University in St. Louis’ lauded museum showcases some of the permanent collection’s most important work in “Real/Radical/ Psychological.” That’s quite a feat: The collection got its start in the 1880s. Of course, the idea of what’s real or radical or psychological has evolved substantially since then, and this exhibition of contemporary art traces that shift over time. Look for pieces from Mike Kelley, Max Beckmann, Frederic Edwin Church and others. It opens on Sept. 9.

Laumeier Sculpture Park Although apartheid officially came to an end in 1994, its reverberations are still felt today. Through video and photographs in the Whitaker Foundation Gallery, South Africanborn Mohau Modisakeng explores and imagines how his body fits into the context and conversation in the present – and wonders if rebirth might provide some answers. Alison Ouellette-Kirby and Noah Kirby continue to play with the ideas of noise and communication in a piece inspired by their “Tone Deaf” series, this time by constructing a huge sheet-metal megaphone. Speak into it, and your voice becomes birdsong – a perfect complement to Laumeier Sculpture Park’s surrounding 105 acres of forest and art. Both debut on Nov. 5 and run through Jan. 29.

O

n a moms’ night out in 2008, two St. Louis women talked about jewelry. More specifically, they talked about how they lacked jewelry that was wearable yet stylish and appropriate for both the office and home, as both women also had three children, including newborns. During the conversation, the women similarly discovered that they both had previously created and designed jewelry and accessories, revealing their skills in metalworking and design. And in addition to one’s prior experience in jewelry design, she had taken metalsmithing courses at the University of California, Los Angeles in her 20s.

Their interests and backgrounds seemed to point to a natural partnership, one that has made many St. Louis-area women more chic while allowing for easy style in jewelry and accessories. Hoopla, another word for excitement, is the jewelry line that resulted from Rachel Oiknine and Laurie Wayne’s conversation and subsequent design collaboration.

“At our first meeting, we decided that our absolute uncompromising principle would be quality,” says Oiknine, an endocrinologist at St. Luke’s Hospital in Chesterfield. “We would use the highest-quality materials possible while still keeping our pieces affordable. All of our chains, wires and findings are sterling silver, gold-filled or vermeil. All of our stones and beads are either semiprecious gemstones or Swarovski/Preciosa crystals. With our new babies in their pumpkin seats on the floor, we spent hours designing and creating.”

Four months after designing their first Hoopla piece, the pair had a private trunk show to introduce their work. “It was such a success that it took us several days to truly comprehend how many people wanted our jewelry and looked so beautiful wearing it,” Oiknine says.

The continued success could be due to its versatility: Hoopla’s range of jewelry styles accommodates daily life, whether for wearing at home, at work or out on the town. The pair also designs jewelry for wedding parties and for young girls’ bat mitzvahs, First Communions or sweet-16 parties.

Oiknine describes some of the pieces as “airy and light,” perfect with workout wear or a day trip with friends, whereas others are “classically beautiful,” designed with the workplace in mind. There also are “bolder, heavier statement pieces”

created for special events and nights on the town.

Some original styles remain popular with customers, but Oiknine and Wayne have updated others with new textures and colors. Custom gemstone colors and metals often are available upon request, as well.

“In the beginning we sat next to each other, developing and creating pieces together from beginning to end, tediously making tiny improvements until we perfected our skills and techniques,” Oiknine says. “As our children have grown and our lives have gotten busier, we each design and make jewelry from our own homes, sending pictures and texts back and forth – thank goodness for technology. In this way, we are able to brainstorm and build on each other’s ideas so that each piece of Hoopla jewelry is truly our creation.”

Once a design is created, the piece is made from gemstones and materials sourced from around the world. Oiknine and Wayne typically wear new styles themselves for a while before offering them to customers in order to ensure the jewelry is easy to pair with various wardrobe items and to gauge quality, making sure the pieces are sturdy enough to endure regular wear and tear.

Initially sold at trunk shows in private homes and boutique shows around town, Hoopla has since been introduced in several local shops, such as Susan Lynn’s Boutique and Esther, and the line is currently available at Splash in Ladue and at barre3 in Des Peres. Pieces also can be ordered at hooplajewels. com. Private trunk shows still are hosted across St. Louis, as well, with proceeds sometimes benefitting local charities, and private showings are available by appointment. Each piece of jewelry remains handmade by Oiknine and Wayne, so as demand increases, the duo is working harder to keep up – “the best challenge we have,” Oiknine says.

“Our St. Louis customers are amazing, and nothing makes us happier than seeing Hoopla all around town,” she continues. “Our loyal customers have grown our business like crazy through word of mouth. We would love to continue to dress St. Louis women and be a part of jewelry displays all around town.”

Garden Summer Rolls With Green Goddess Tahini Sauce Story, recipe and photography by Sherrie Castellano

‌F

or those of us fortunate enough to grow our own food, August means abundance. Our gardens are bursting at the seams, filled with hearty and vibrant summer vegetables: bell, Hungarian, cherry and spicy pepper varieties; tomatoes big and small, juicy and sweet, from bite-sized cherry to beefy and imperfectly perfect heirlooms; and summer squash, zucchini and cucumber plants so big we don’t even know the treasures hiding underneath their leaves.

By now, we have eaten these vegetables in all the ways possible: salads and soups, stir-fries and pastas, ratatouilles and sauces, just to name a few. Meanwhile, we’re busy researching more ways we can bottle up our leftover veggies and keep them preserved for us to enjoy well into fall and winter. For me, however, there is no better preparation in the warm summer months than raw, lightly sprinkled with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and served with a flavorful and rich plant-based sauce.

The best part of these garden summer rolls is that they require only fresh veggies, a knife and a blender – no oven or stovetop needed. The rolls can be made for quick weeknight dinners at home or prepared in advance for portable lunches or road-trip snacks. This is also a great hands-on, fun and colorful recipe to try making with your kids – get in the kitchen, play with your food and eat the rainbow.

Critzas Family

‌Once upon a time, Sheldon

waited for a forever family at the Crestwood Animal Shelter. Sometimes, he would get to leave the shelter and go places like Danielle Critzas’ house. Critzas’ mother works at the shelter and would bring Sheldon over when she was watching him.

Critzas recalls how Sheldon would fall asleep in her and her boyfriend’s laps.

“He just always wants to show you how much he loves you,” she says.

Her boyfriend had just gotten a new camera and was tasked with making a video so Sheldon could get adopted.

“I knew when we were looking back at the video that I wanted him,” Critzas says.

They’ve had Sheldon for nearly half a year, and she says he’s the “perfect dog.”

“His favorite things are cuddling and being held, but

By Robyn Dexter

he’s 25 to 30 pounds,” she says with a laugh.

Lately, Sheldon’s weakness has been blankets. Critzas says that while he won’t destroy anything else, blankets left out stand no chance in their household.

“If he has access to a blanket, he’ll destroy it,” she says.

Sheldon is partially blind, and Critzas says he gets nervous if he can’t figure out his surroundings quickly.

It took him a while to figure out the layout of their place.

Critzas recalls him “crashing into everything” when they first brought him home. His solution to making sure he’s not going to walk into anything? Stomping.

“He stomps so loudly when he walks,” she says. “I think he’s hearing his feet so he knows where he is. He also snores so loudly.”

When Sheldon first arrived at the shelter, he had a stroller he would crawl into and ride around in. He loved to be pushed around in it, Critzas says. She thinks it made him feel safe because he didn’t have

to worry about figuring out his surroundings. When she adopted Sheldon, she got a little covered trailer for her bicycle so he could ride around, too. While such trailers are usually meant for children, Critzas says Sheldon is content to “go for rides” with her.

Critzas and her boyfriend went to great lengths to adopt Sheldon. Their former place didn’t allow them to have dogs, so they moved to be able to accommodate him.

“I hadn’t had a dog for almost a year, and having a dog was such a huge part of my life,” she says. “Now I have this dog that’s totally content with lying in my arms at the end of the day.”

Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet

By Hesse Caplinger | Photos courtesy of Porsche

EvoluTIon hERE TAkES PlACE In REAl TImE.

T

ime is the great healer – or so goes the saying – and for the Porsche 911 at least, it’s an aphorism that rings largely true.

Since its birth at the pen of Ferdinand “Butzi” Porsche and introduction in 1963 in Germany, the 911 has long been regarded as a work of specious mechanical reasoning. What was the fault? Nothing less than its defining characteristic (or so said detractors): the rear-engine plan.

Even for some enthusiasts, the 911 could be a creature of mixed virtues. You see, in olden times (which is to say, the past), although hanging the motor aft of the rear wheels succeeded in unfettering style lines from the adulteration of gaping grills and bulging engine profiles – and offered superb turn-in and load transfer under braking – it nevertheless had the dubious distinction of making the nose light and the steering vague under open throttle, as well as presenting a diabolical inertial moment around bends if the nose snapped from progressive understeer to absolute oversteer.

The 911 has always encouraged a bit of rough loving, but alternatively, it’s long had a precipitous intolerance of unsympathetic handling. Yet this sort of end-first off-road excursion has caught out more than one Meerschaum-and-cable-knit 911 enthusiast in its time.

Add a turbo, as Porsche did in 1975, and the rather predictable result was a stunningly fast car with boost that lagged through half the power band before striking like a thunderclap and a reputation for making anyone with an inverse ratio of skill to enthusiasm … very possibly late for dinner.

But as with some other unlikely wagers on body plan – bipedalism, for example, or betting against bite force for brain size – evolution has paid dividends.

For 2017, evolution is indeed the word, and as part of it, Porsche’s engineers have been hard at work recasting the 20th letter in the alphabet: T. For as long as anyone can remember, other than the Targa (which doesn’t count), the 911 Turbo was not only Porsche’s definitive 20th letter, but also – always and emphatically – the big T, capital T. It was the letter that signified the word that signified the stand-alone model: Turbo.

Well, now Porsche’s fiddling has brought us what will be a ubiquitous, if more modest, domesticated-variety turbo: turbo, with a little t. Going forward, all 911s (excepting the GT3, GT3 RS and possibly R) will wear turbocharged forced induction like high socks with lederhosen – as standard, says Porsche – and we had better learn to love it: fuel economy, power, emissions and such. So, old versus new, capital versus lowercase: How is it, then?

Well, it’s fine. Just fine. Lovely, in fact. No, it certainly does not have the savage

82

august 12, 2016 | LadueNews.com

acceleration of a contemporary Turbo, but – fun fact – it does have 70 more horses than the fabled, last-of-a-generation, 3.3-liter 911 Turbo of 1989. That was back when that car was among the world’s fastest production cars, was regarded as seething with bloodlust and also went by its Christian name: the 930.

But time and tide wait for no man – so with 370-horsepower and 331 foot-pound of torque to the good, our humble 3.0-liter, flat-six, 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet sample would leave that wilding forebear to the clutches of animal control. Not only is this new 991.2 chassis sorted and refined, but also, it’s truly comfortable and well-fitted for a change.

Porsche has been refining the 911, tooth-and-gear, effectively since the outset. But if we’re honest, only since the introduction of the 991 in 2012 have the interiors looked more or less the part. And with the introduction of a hand-me-down steering wheel from the 918 Spyder Hypercar, finally, we have arrived – it is the handsome and functional place Thor always intended.

Admittedly, Porsche’s 911 Cabriolet always has been a tier above in terms of bracing and torsional rigidity, but for a mere 198 pounds over the equivalent coupe, you get a chassis with a stowable top and the granitic inflexibility that, for once, red-eyed, quadventi-wielding enthusiasts can unreservedly throw their arms around. (I’ve driven coupes with bona fides and ballistics testing that had more twist – it’s that stiff.) Wind noise and buffeting are surprisingly low, there isn’t the faintest hint of top or panel noise, and evenings are aurally and visually panoramic.

Speaking of sound: Turbos do muzzle a bit of savory clatter and full-song mania long central to the 911’s flat-six idiom. Greater competence of the chassis, too, means the car muddles in listless company for all your joyless doings. Given the love it wants, however – not a benign smile over coffee, mind you – and this base-of-the-range 911 comes to shimmering and emphatic life. It changes direction with stunning athleticism, throws up a thrilling and baleful wail under full throttle, fires off precision shifts by way of the seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission and looks better doing it than any entry-level Carrera heretofore.

The 911 has never been finer or friendlier, and it’s enough to make one think persistence must be somewhere at the core of evolution … or perhaps slightly to the rear.

Dinner ...

U

se your noodle and visit Vista Ramen – a chef’s take on the popular noodle bowl, alongside a selection of small plates, sides and desserts – before catching St. Louis Shakespeare’s production of Julius Caesar.

The concept comes from Jeremy and Casey Miller of the Mud House and Chris Bork, who formerly worked as the executive chef of Blood & Sand as well as the Mud House. Aaron Stovall serves as the general manager.

According to Casey Miller, the business gets its name from the lime-green “VISTA” marquee that highlights the dining room. The signage comes from a former drive-in theater in Illinois and influenced the restaurant’s classic interior-design aesthetic. A vintage Mercantile Bank mural advertisement that adorns the space’s far wall also inspired the color palette.

“Jeremy and I started our career selling antiques, and

86

AUGUST 12, 2016 | LadueNews.com

that’s how we ended up on Cherokee Street to begin with,” Casey Miller says. “Here, we pulled together all this great old stuff we love.”

Repurposed furniture, striking geometric-print tiles and wallpaper, and hanging plants – from flowers to weeds – fill the dining room with stylized charm, mirroring its ’30s- and ’40s-era antique centerpieces.

The Millers performed a complete gut of the space themselves, refining everything from woodworking finishes to a golden painted “V” on the side of the building. Subtle details include installations such as the four small floor tiles at the entrance that represent the restaurant’s founding partners.

At a small corner bar, patrons can choose from a short list of beer, wine, tea and sake. Overall, the wide space features 34 seats at two-top tables, window-side tables or a long ramen counter that overlooks the kitchen where Bork and his team plate menu items with finesse.

By Mabel Suen “We’re not trying to be traditional. We want to respect what ramen is, but we’re trying to do our own thing,” Bork says. “And you’re going to definitely see other types of dishes.”

To that end, Bork offers three different ramen bowls for his debut menu – each utilizing different broths he developed throughout a weekly pop-up series at Maryland House. The signature Vista ramen, for instance, is equal parts chicken and pork with some ham hocks for smokiness. The base of the broth is kombu seasoned with shiro dashi, says Bork.

Another staple is a veggie ramen topped with miso-roasted carrot, daikon, egg, and scallion and coconut schmaltz. A third ramen bowl will rotate biweekly or monthly, such as a spicy-shrimp bowl with shrimp cake, egg, chili paste, scallion and fava beans. A pozole ramen is also in the works for the near future.

The bulk of the menu consists of small plates.

Beef tartare, for instance, is made with parsley, fermented garlic, pickles, apple and nori – to be eaten wrapped up in accompanying pieces of nori.

A Thai sausage plate takes a similar hand-held approach served with butter lettuce, herbs and lime.

Sides also are available, such as assorted pickles and seasoned pork rinds served with togarashi yogurt. Desserts wrap up the menu, including a lemongrass-basil ice cream, chocolate-chip cookies and coconut cake with coconut-milk yogurt, caramelized white chocolate and preserved lemon.

“As a chef, you try to make things your way and put your kind of inflection on it,” Bork says. “We’re trying to do something a little different. At the root of it all, we just want to make delicious food.”

‌Story: Roman general and politician Julius Caesar returns home triumphantly after defeating Pompey, his former ally, in battle. Although Caesar previously turned down overtures to be proclaimed king of Rome, some Roman politicians now fear he may become just that.

While Caesar celebrates his military victory, he is approached by a soothsayer who warns him to “beware the Ides of March,” an admonition he ignores. Caius Cassius, another Roman politician, works quietly to unite a band of conspirators against Caesar, but knows they need the involvement of another leader, Marcus Brutus, to succeed. The patriotic Brutus is most interested in the best interests of Rome and its citizens’ future.

Convincing Brutus of the necessity of an assassination, Cassius and his cohorts concoct a scheme to meet Caesar at the Senate house, where they kill him. Brutus permits Caesar’s friend Mark Antony to deliver a eulogy at Caesar’s public memorial, which backfires when Antony rouses the emotions of the crowd against the conspirators. With the coup against Caesar now collapsing, Cassius and Brutus kill themselves before being captured by the army of Antony and his ally, Octavius Caesar.

Highlights: St. Louis Shakespeare has opened its 32nd season with a fine performance of one of the Bard’s most enduring and oft-quoted plays. Maxwell Knocke’s compelling performance as Cassius propels director Tom Kopp’s generally engaging rendition of this classic tragedy, given a nuanced adaptation by assistant director John Wolbers.

Other Info: Kopp plays it by the book with this interpretation, leaving the setting in ancient Rome. This permits costume designer Elizabeth Henning to deck out the players in proper toga attire, and scenic designer Chuck Winning to provide a backdrop of columns, steps and platforms on which the action takes place.

Nonetheless, this is a pared-down Caesar, a problematic point after the intermission when Antony delivers his famous speech to a “mob” consisting of six to eight people. It just looks odd and underwhelming, and, combined with rather static performances by some members of the cast, makes this rendition of Julius Caesar a good but not great production.

Several notable performances, though, deliver the show’s best moments. Knocke is fascinating to watch as he conveys not only the machinations of the cunning Cassius, but also the nobility of the character in his impassioned arguments to persuade Brutus to join the conspiracy.

Ben Ritchie does a solid job in the pivotal role of Brutus, although his interpretation is a bit too refined and restrained, fairly devoid of emotion and intensity.

This is an intellectual Brutus, whose careful analysis of the situation proves to be his undoing.

By Mark Bretz

Chuck Brinkley brings a savvy touch to the role of the shrewd senator Cicero, as well as a docile servant, and Erik Kuhn does well in the dual roles of the conspirator Decius and Titinius, a soldier loyal to Cassius. The two female roles are minor but handled effectively by Annalise Webb as Caesar’s concerned wife, Calpurnia, and Bridgette Bassa as Brutus’ loving and troubled spouse, Portia.

Brennan Eller is OK in the role of Antony, but he’s hindered in the famous eulogy scene by that miniscule crowd, which seems to sap the energy from his words, particularly in Wolbers’ adaptation. Although Wolbers succeeds in giving a contemporary relevance to the action and dialogue, it sometimes leads to awkward staging and delivery of toned-down oratory.

Tim Callahan proves convincing as the living Caesar, conveying the leader’s love for the people as well as his vanity and fateful pride, but less-than-fearful as Caesar’s ghost haunting Brutus on the battlefield.

Kopp maintains a steady tempo in the movements and conversation of his players, but has trouble getting the entire cast to elevate their performances to a higher level, something accentuated by those who do fully engage the audience.

Still, it’s always rewarding to see one of Shakespeare’s best-known works interpreted for a new generation and to absorb fresh renditions that keep Julius Caesar contemporary. St. Louis Shakespeare’s production seems especially timely in this turbulent election year – and worthy of your consideration, with or without a soothsayer.

Ready Readers

Picture Books Help Ease Separation Anxiety

A

By Cheryl Whatley

lthough summer still will linger for some time, changes are taking place as children return to or begin preschool. Children who have been enjoying a hiatus from routine may feel reluctant to resume schooling, which may lead to anxiety about being away from home. Even those who attended programs all summer must adjust to new classrooms with new teachers. Making new friends seems fun, but for some children, even this creates stress.

By reading picture books with your children, you can help them envision new experiences while recollecting the past. Reading books with children will engage them in talking about what they think and what they know, which strengthens their confidence as they develop conversational skills and increase their vocabulary – keys to building literacy.

As a parent, strive, through books, to convey your confidence in your children’s ability to succeed in new situations.

The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn with illustrations by Ruth E. Harper and Nancy M.

Leak – a New York Times bestseller – is one such book. It introduces Chester, a meek little raccoon that declares he wants to stay home. Mrs. Raccoon assures him, “Sometimes we all have to do things we don’t want to do … even if they seem strange and scary at first. But you will love school once you start.” In the colorful pages that follow, she explains what Chester can look forward to at school, including story time. Mrs. Raccoon also offers him the security of knowing she still loves him, even when they’re apart, by sharing a secret that empowers Chester – a tactic many families have adopted to ease separation for both children and parents.

Natasha Wing’s popular Night Before series includes The Night Before Preschool, in which a shy boy whose tummy hurts as he arrives at preschool

is allowed to explore slowly. The teacher patiently guides him until his timidity lessens, and he’s playing with a new friend. The book’s illustrations by Amy Wummer invite children to feel included in the story.

ABC School’s for Me!, written by Susan B. Katz and illustrated by Lynn Munsinger, belongs to our Ready Readers “Book a Day” program. Young children love its simple rhymes and charming pictures of busy little bears engaged in many preschool activities.

Parents and children can chat about which of those or similar activities school will include. Without directly addressing the issue of separation anxiety, this picture book encourages anticipation of positive, familiar activities.

A Portrait of the

south sider Gabriel Bonfili brings a youthful perspective and an eclectic aesthetic to portraiture.

T

he eyes are the mirrors of the soul.

If the online examples of Gabriel Bonfili’s artwork convey an overarching message, that proverb (a Latin borrowing first recorded in English in 1545) figuratively encapsulates it. Most if not all of those examples focus on portraiture because of the soulful challenge that focus poses, confesses Bonfili.

“The human face is something we see so often, and capturing it in new and different ways can be quite fun and difficult,” he reflects. “The way a face can communicate emotion is very powerful to me, and there are a million stories in the eyes alone.”

His own story began roughly a third of a continent away. “I was born in Phoenix,” Bonfili states, and that statement seems suggestive in matters less of content than of form. Many of his works, that is, embrace pastels and the sun-bleached look of the Southwest – a desaturated palette of straw and rose, saffron and olive, terra cotta and periwinkle.

LadueNews.com | AuGust 12, 2016

“I came into colors and color theory later in life, and I’m still experimenting and learning,” Bonfili says. “So in a way, I try to surprise myself.

“I’ll start with one to two colors, and that will determine what direction I’ll go.

The colors can shape-shift and transition, and if I succeed, I will have harmony, and the piece will make sense.”

Now in his early 30s, the resident of the Tower Grove South neighborhood graduated from the graphic-design program at South County Technical School and now paints in the front room of his apartment, “converted into a studio, which has a nice southwest-facing window with natural light.”

Regarding his inspirations, Bonfili notes a familial influence on his artistic career, among others.

“My grandfather mastered engraving and even did some work for Anheuser-Busch and [the City of] St. Louis,” he says. “And my parents fueled my obsession with creativity.

“I’ve always been inspired by nature, patterns and geometry.

Formal art education could never really keep my attention for too long, with the exception of graphic design, where I grew to love the endless possibilities of layering. Other than that, trial-and-error has probably been my greatest teacher.”

That said, Bonfili expands on his painterly inspirations, citing “some of the classics like [Salvador] Dalí, [Hieronymus] Bosch and [Pablo] Picasso for their raw creativity and otherworldly ideas, Jackson Pollock for his organized chaos, Andy Warhol for his boldness.”

In particular, he also cites “the rebellious ones,” like the unidentified English graffiti nonesuch Banksy and American “street artist” Shepard Fairey, who created the puissant 2008 Barack Obama Hope poster, as well as “many other lesser-known street artists [who] use unconventional canvasses like walls and buildings.”

Bonfili “last but not least” cites kids as an inspiration. “They are completely fearless and don’t overthink anything,” he says. “For them, it’s all about experimentation and the experience itself.”

Bonfili then briefly discusses his preferred media as a painter.

“When I use oils on canvas, it is usually for a more traditional style and softer blending techniques,” he relates, “and when I want more of a layered or experimental effect, I usually favor acrylics on [art] board.

“Because the board is so flat, I can add almost as many smooth layers as I want.

Acrylics lend themselves very well to that process because thin layers can dry in a matter of minutes or seconds, and it’s satisfying to work fast with them to get your ideas out.”

Bonfili continues by reflecting on the tools with which he customarily approaches either a canvas or a board.

“I love the palette knife,” he says. “Not

only is it very hard to master because of its inconsistent behavior, but it can also produce very wild, natural and bold effects or layers as thin as a hair.

“Then, the brush is always useful for the really small details. The way [both tools] release the paint in the stroke is an endless fascination, and sometimes they can play nicely together in the same piece.”

Bonfili’s creative methodology also varies from work to work.

“My approach depends on how playful or serious the tone of the subject is and just what mood I’m in,” he says. “If I’m just trying to learn technique and color, I’ll focus on a traditional style. For playful subjects like children or even animals, I would want a more raw and messy approach with a chaotic background. It’s fun to play with repetitive aspects of faces and shapes, patterns and geometry, like cutting and pasting, in a sense.”

The online examples of his work include portraits of cultural icons like ’60s nonpareil rock guitarist Jimi Hendrix and the “Godfather of Soul,” James Brown, whose inclusion in his oeuvre Bonfili explains succinctly.

“I am a musician as well [as a painter], and without music, I would lack a wealth of inspiration,” he says. “Both art forms share spontaneity. The painting process can be similar to playing or listening to a song, in the sense that it’s more about the journey than the end product.

“When I paint my favorite musicians, I get to [transpose] their musical energy into the visual realm.”

Another of his recent works involves not only portraiture of a sort, but also a sociopolitical message rather slyly delivered.

“After the unrest in 2014, I had the opportunity to paint the boards that covered broken shop windows near my neighborhood on Grand Boulevard,” Bonfili says. “[The painting in question] was a composition of two babies, one black and one white, playing with blocks that spelled out ‘Unity.’ That piece found a new home in the Regional Arts Commission.”

Among other recent works, he also proudly mentions “a piece for an auction that benefited a dear friend with cancer” and a commissioned portrait of the chairman and chief executive officer of a local architectural firm, which he characterizes as “challenging, knowing that it will be judged by very discerning eyes.”

For the foreseeable future, Bonfili lists a number of goals as eclectic as his extant work as a painter: “Growing. Not sitting still. Getting my work into public places. And making some kind of positive change.”
