LETTER FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

DEAR FRIENDS,

 ROBERT HUPP. PHOTO: BRENNA MERRITT.

Welcome to the second half of our 49th season! Thank you for joining us for Yoga Play. If we’ve learned anything over the course of these past two years, we’ve learned that even our best laid plans are no match for Mother Nature. We’re extremely grateful to you for your flexibility and dedication as we continue to navigate the everchanging challenges of the pandemic.

This Covid time tends to leave us feeling isolated and uncertain. Now, more than ever, we need the opportunity to share the joy of common experiences. With your support, we’ll continue to produce work in the context of the safety guidelines and best practices outlined by our unions, Syracuse University, Onondaga County, and the CDC. Whenever we can do so in a manner that is safe for our audience, staff, and artists, we will do our best to offer relief and refuge and provide a ray of optimism and a sense of community for all.

seriously overpriced trousers that we used to call sweatpants…). In the very capable hands of our new associate artistic director Melissa Crespo, who is joined by a stellar cast and creative team, this revealing and spot on comedy should prove just the right antidote for our cold Syracuse winter.

Thank you for continuing to make Syracuse Stage a part of your life. Enjoy Yoga Play!

With this in mind, we’re proud to produce the East Coast premiere of Dipika Guha’s satirical comedy, Yoga Play. Guha’s play has been on our minds (and in our season) for the past two years. Her work seems especially timely in this moment when our forced isolation has fostered an explosion of the athleisure wear industry. (I’m writing this note while wearing some pretty comfy and

With warm regards,

Bob Hupp Artistic Director

ON YOGA PLAY

“It’s a play about yoga and Capitalism and what it means to be yourself.” (Interview with South Coast Repertory)

...

“As someone who’s adapted to new places so many times, I’ve seen how much of my identity I’ve either adopted or dropped for survival reasons. If this is true for all of us, then how do we really know who we are? This question gains political heft in a time when our sense of who we are is dividing us more than uniting us. I find myself returning to this question urgently in my work, whether it’s through comedy or through a more serious or lyrical lens.”

(Interview with The Playwrights Center)

...

“I had been thinking of California . . . and the desire for both authenticity and wealth, and yoga seemed to be at the nexus of that.”

(Interview with South Coast Repertory)

...

“The tensions of world views in this play, of yoga, which is buried in an Indian religion and Hinduism, and the way it is interpreted, I hope there is a space and generosity in looking at appropriation and space for questioning it and laughing at it.”

(Interview with South Coast Repertory)

19

“Displacement and the different languages of displacement and the theatrical language of displacement have always been in my work, but this is the first time it has been through the lens of comedy.”

(Interview with South Coast Repertory)

ON THEATRE

“My grandparents were refugees, my parents immigrants, the memory of a very bloody partition and great poverty is part of my inheritance.

So deciding to throw myself wholeheartedly into theatre knowing only that I loved it was very risky. But it’s given me a kind of soul peace I am continually grateful for and a profound gratitude for all the people who have continually supported me along my path, most especially for Paula [Vogel] who had faith in my work before I had any myself.”

(Interview with The Playwrights Center)

...

“[Paula Vogel} speaks a great deal about defamiliarisation or making the familiar strange and the strange familiar. She made me feel like there was space in this form to create new ways to see the world. Getting to study with Paula who is a formalist and fundamentally interested in how you can change the form to say what you want to say really allowed me to feel free in my writing. I connected to her pedagogy because growing up in multiple languages—literal languages and also emotional landscapes— theatre felt like a natural form for me.”

(Interview with The Playwrights Center)

...

“I actually very rarely see work on stage that represents international, bi-, or tri-cultural perspectives held by a single play. I’m interested in how we move in the world when so many of us are moving across the world, adopting lands that are not our own and choosing family structures we did not grow up with. Globalization is, of course, not a new phenomenon. So I’m as interested in stories of people who ‘immigrated’ and ‘assimilated’ in ancient history as I am in our time. I want to see more of this.”

(Interview with The Playwrights Center)

20

“I didn’t just like theatre—I loved it right from when I was a child. I had a visceral reaction when I was onstage. When I was seeing theatre and doing it myself, I was so unspeakably happy just somewhere really deep. It took a long time to realize I could be brave enough to do it.

I didn’t know how to make a living at it. There were no artists in my family. I took a long time to decide I loved it enough to throw myself at it.”(Interview with Emily Wilson for 48hills)

extremely subtle science, which focuses on bringing harmony between mind and body. It is an art and science of healthy living. The word ‘Yoga’ is derived from the Sanskrit root ‘Yuj’, meaning ‘to join’ or ‘to yoke’ or ‘to unite’. As per Yogic scriptures the practice of Yoga leads to the union of individual consciousness with that of the Universal Consciousness, indicating a perfect harmony between the mind and body.”

According to the official public diplomacy page of the Indian government, “Yoga is essentially a spiritual discipline based on an

Taking a class from a well-trained instructor is recommended for anyone interested in beginning yoga. Below, courtesy of the New York Times, is a quick primer on some of the different types of classes and practices available.

Hatha: Most yoga styles being taught in America today are a form of hatha yoga, which is a general term that refers

to the physical part of yoga, rather than yoga philosophy or meditation. A Hatha yoga class is likely to be a combination of poses and breathing exercises, but it’s hard to know whether it will be challenging or gentle.

Check with the school or the teacher to find more about the level of classes that are described only as Hatha yoga.

Ashtanga Yoga: This is a challenging style of yoga that is centered around a progressive series of yoga sequences that, traditionally, students practice on their own under the guidance of a teacher. If you think that yoga is not a workout, you haven’t tried an Ashtanga class. Classes include advanced poses such as arm balances and inversions including headstands and shoulder stands. Beginner students are strongly advised to study with an experienced teacher. Ashtanga classes will also often include teachings in yoga philosophy.

Power Yoga: As its name suggests, power yoga is a challenging style of yoga aimed at strength-

24

building. These classes will include advanced poses and inversions like headstands and handstands that require a lot of strength.

Vinyasa or Flow: These classes usually consist of a fairly energetic flowing sequence of yoga poses that will include — depending on the level — advanced poses, such as arm balances, headstands, shoulder stands and handstands.

Many vinyasa classes have musical accompaniment of the teacher’s choosing.

Iyengar: Love learning about how your muscles and joints work together? This is the yoga for you. Iyengar yoga focuses on the precision of your yoga poses. Iyengar classes are known for their use of props, including blankets, blocks, straps and bolsters, to help students do poses that they wouldn’t be able to do otherwise. Classes can also include ropes that are anchored to the walls to do inversions and other poses. They also tend to include breathing exercises and references to yoga philosophy.

“It’s a good idea to try several yoga classes. How much you enjoy any class will come down to how much you like the teacher, not how it’s labeled."

Bikram or Hot Yoga: Like the heat? Bikram yoga is a set series of 26 poses performed in a room heated to 105 degrees, which is said to allow for deeper stretching and provide for a better cardiovascular workout.

Unlike most yoga classes, Bikram classes are always done in rooms with mirrors. Hot yoga refers to any yoga class that is done in a heated room — generally from 80 to 100 degrees.

Restorative Yoga: If you are looking for a little more relaxation from your yoga class, restorative yoga is for you. This yoga style usually involves a few restful poses that are held for long periods of time. Restorative poses include light twists, seated forward folds and gentle back-bends, usually

done with the assistance of many props, including blankets, blocks and bolsters.

Yin Yoga: Looking for a new kind of stretching experience?

Yin yoga is aimed at stretching the connective tissue around the pelvis, sacrum, spine and knees to promote flexibility. Poses are held for a longer amount of time in yin yoga classes, generally from three to five minutes. It is a quiet style of yoga, and will quickly show you how good you are at sitting still.

Note: It’s a good idea to try several yoga classes. How much you enjoy any class will come down to how much you like the teacher, not how it’s labeled.

Octavia Chavez-Richmond (Romola, and others) is an actor, playwright, and storyteller whose work has been featured at international film festivals and regional theatres.

She holds an M.F.A. in acting from Brown University/Trinity Repertory where she received the David Wickham Playwriting Award. After graduating, Trinity Repertory awarded Octavia with the Margo Skinner Memorial Fellowship for 2018. Her original short film Lolita Express recently debuted at the NYC Indie Theatre Film Festival (March 2021). Octavia uses theatre and film to explore women’s relationship to their bodies.

She is particularly interested in women of color and their sexual agency. Her work disrupts hierarchy, racism, and misogyny and challenges conventional beauty standards.

Rishan Dhamija (Raj) is an actor/writer based in New York. Rishan’s parents were hyped to hear that after graduating from acting school (UNC, M.F.A. ‘19), he’d get to play doctors and IT guys on TV. Something they couldn’t get him to do in real life. He wasn’t going to give them the satisfaction. And so, he got his second M.F.A. in dramatic writing (NYU-Tisch ‘21) so that he could create authentic South Asian content for himself and his friends.

Rishan recently appeared on TV shows like Apple TV’s Little Voice and NBC’s New Amsterdam and will be seen next in Apple TV’s limited series WeCrashed.

A B O U T S Y R A C U S E S TA G E Originally constructed as the Regent Movie House in 1914, the physical space of Syracuse Stage has seen many films, musicians, actors, and artists pass through its doors over the course of the past century. The Syracuse Stage that exists today is a nonfor-profit professional theatre company founded in 1974, and a longstanding League of Resident Theatres (LORT) member. Since its inception, Stage has produced over 300 shows, both plays and musicals, within its walls. Now, Stage produces six to seven shows per season, while also offering educational programs to students, various pre- and post-show events, and fundraising events each year. Stage is Central New York’s only LORT theatre and one of the largest performing arts organizations in the area. Stage has a strong commitment to giving the community access to a range of high-quality productions; it is equally committed to bringing in actors, designers, and directors who are among the leading theatre professionals, both locally and across the nation.

ANTI-RACISM PLEDGE Syracuse Stage stands firmly against racism and discrimination. We pledge to stand with under-represented and oppressed communities and to advance antiracism in all aspects of our work, including the outward facing, public dimension of our creative endeavors and the less visible internal practices of the organization.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Syracuse Stage respectfully acknowledges the Onondaga Nation, firekeepers of the Haudenosaunee, the indigenous people on whose ancestral lands we now stand.

IN THE COMMUNITY Stage has collaborated with a myriad of institutions in the Syracuse area. Community partners include 100 Black Men of Syracuse, AccessCNY, ARC of Onondaga, ARISE, ArtRage, CNY Reads, Interfaith Works of Central New York, La Casita, McMahon / Ryan Child Advocacy Center, Onondaga Historical Association, Rosamond Gifford Zoo at Burnet Park, SUNY Upstate Medical University, the VA Medical Center, and Vera House.
