The Winter Park Cub Scout Pack 678 has been hard at work collecting blankets and coats for the Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida.

Residents rally to make Orange Avenue safer with signs As the number of crashes continues to grow, residents are hoping some new signs can slow things down.

TIM FREED ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Winter Park resident Garrick Spears still remembers what it sounded like. He remembers New Year’s Eve just over a year ago — when two women were T-boned and killed by a driver speeding

down Orange Avenue just outside his house.

“The way that I describe it is it sounded like a truck emptying gravel — what we heard was the sliding,” Spears said. “It ended with a thud, it must have been the SEE SAFETY PAGE 2

Safety concern CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

car hitting the tree. We were right there when it happened.”

Local residents in Winter Park and Orlando along Orange Avenue want to see their road become safer — and they’ve taken action to do just that, placing yellow signs in front of their homes that read “please slow down” in black type.

Despite the street having a speed limit of 35 mph, the stretch of road from U.S. 17-92 to Clay Avenue has been notorious for speeding — the driver who killed the two young women on New Year’s Eve was driving in excess of 100 mph.

The signs dotting Orange Avenue were an idea by Spears and his partner, who had seen enough accidents happen on the fourlane road and realized it was time to make a change. The last straw came on Halloween night of 2018, when a car was speeding down Orange Avenue from 17-92 lost control, went airborne off a neighbor’s driveway apron and crashed into Spears’ fence. It was one of five crashes Spears has seen since the tragedy on New Year’s Eve. “We think it flipped,” Spears said. “I didn’t hear the noise — I felt it. I equate it too when the

shuttle lands, and we get that boom and the house shakes. The house shook and I thought, ‘That wasn’t right.’”

Spears started with smaller signs in November 2018 outside of his house, but soon, he decided to take it a step further. Earlier this month, Spears got bigger signs and reached out to all 51 of his neighbors that live along Orange Avenue with fliers, offering to give them signs to help encourage drivers to slow down along the road. Every couple days, someone calls for a sign, he said, and today between 20 and 30 neighbors have picked one up.

So far it seems to be working, Spears said.

“I’m hearing from a lot of my neighbors that conscientious drivers are slowing down, but we still have those folks that are going to speed regardless,” he said. “There is a noticeable difference.”

But Spears added the signs aren’t a long-term solution. It’s up to Winter Park leaders and the Florida Department of Transportation to come up with a permanent solution to make drivers slow down.

Spears also said he would like to see residents from the southern

most portion of Orange Avenue — from Westminster Street to Clay Avenue, which sits in Orlando — reach out to the city of Orlando about making some safety improvements.

The stretch of Orange Avenue has been under scrutiny by FDOT recently, with a study getting released just earlier this month.

According to the report, the 0.8mile segment of the street has seen 203 collisions from 2012 to 2016.

The study also mentions several long-term solutions, such as adding a roundabout at the intersection of Clay Avenue, Orange Avenue and Wilkinson Street, or

converting the section of Orange Avenue into a three-lane road.

One possible change that could make things safer is to prohibit left-hand turns onto Orange Avenue during specific hours, Spears said. He expects the city of Winter Park to discuss potential changes further in the coming months.

“We’re looking forward to meetings with the cities and meetings with the state so we can discuss the proposals,” he said.

At this point, Spears said he and his neighbors would welcome any kind of change.

“We’re all for anything that makes any kind of an impact,” Spears said. “We won’t say, ‘No.’”

Coming in from the cold

WINTER PARK/MAITLAND

Observer “If we are to build a better world, we must remember that the guiding principle is this — a policy of freedom for the individual is the only truly progressive policy.”

HARRY SAYER BLACK TIE REPORTER

S

even-year-old Cub Scout James Meyer was surprised when he learned that the Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida shelter takes in about 100 homeless people when the nights get cold.

His mother, Micki Meyer, was equally shocked when she heard her son’s idea — to collect and donate 100 blankets, jackets and coats to keep those people warm.

“There’s laws in the Cub Scouts, and one of them is to help people,” James said. “I’m a Cub Scout. I want to help other people and obey that law.”

Meyer and the 10 other Cub Scouts of Winter Park Pack 678 organized a weeks-long blanket and coat drive for the coalition.

By the time the drive wrapped up, the scouts had collected more than 180 blankets and pieces of clothing.

Micki Meyer, who volunteers with the pack, organized this particular initiative for the pack. One of the many qualities and traits the Cub Scouts teach to young children is reverence — a respect for other people and groups. Micki Meyer and her husband, David, were in scouts and Campfire Girls when they were young.

“We wanted to do more than talk about it; we wanted to engage the children with a project where they can understand about life and service,” she said. “Talking with my son James, we decided to do something for the homeless — that’s where it came from. … We thought it would be a really neat way to get the children involved in a real-life situation that’s affecting our community and could leverage their skills and talents to make the community better.”

The coalition offers a number of service programs, including emergency shelter, showers and laundry for people during the week, daily dinners, and more.

The Winter Park Cub Scout Pack 678 delivered the blankets and coats themselves.

When there is a night where the temperature dips below 49 degrees, the group labels it a “cold night” and opens the shelter to as many people as they can. The organization typically shelters about 500 people but takes in around 100 more people from the street on cold nights.

One of the greatest needs the coalition has during these heavier times are additional mens coats and jackets.

The pack reached out to friends, teachers, neighbors and more to collect the clothing since the beginning of January. Meyer said several Rollins staff members donated old jackets, and a marketing company donated a number of misprinted fleece jackets, as well.

There also was an Amazon link through which the community could donate.

When the drive ended, the pack — comprising mainly 6-to 7-year

old first-graders — folded, stored and delivered the warm materials Jan. 19 to the Coalition building in Parramore. James Meyer said

picking up the jackets and counting all of them was his favorite part of the effort.

The influx of blankets and clothing was just in time, too. The nights have been getting colder, according to Tracie Morris, vice president of development and community engagement for the coalition.

“Just this week on Sunday evening, we had to call a cold night and had 81 additional guests on campus,” she said. “Having those extra resources was a huge help. …

A 7-year-old boy making a commitment like that? You don’t see that every day. It’s what made what he and his troop did very special.”

Micki Meyer said both she and James were thinking of new ways for the Winter Park troop to help the Orlando community in the near future.

FWC: Stay away from otters TIM FREED ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Maitland residents who spot an otter around Lake Maitland or Lake Lily should keep their distance instead of pulling out their phone and getting close to snap a photo.

Fliers warning of rabid otters have been posted around Lake Maitland and Lake Lily after three recent reports of locals getting bitten or scratched by the furry critters. According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the first incident occurred Monday, Jan. 7, at the boardwalk at Lake Lily, while a second incident happened the following day at an apartment complex about a half-mile away from the lake. The third incident also took place at a private residence.

“The Florida Fish and Wildlife

Conservation Commission was made aware of multiple individuals bitten or scratched by a river otter in separate incidents that happened in close proximity to each other in the area surrounding Lake Maitland in Orange County,” said Carli Segelson of FWC in a statement. “The FWC takes public safety seriously and is monitoring the situation.”

The statement from FWC confirmed that on Jan. 10 an officer with the Maitland Police Department removed an otter exhibiting “abnormal behavior.”

“The carcass of the animal was turned over to Orange County Animal Control for testing,” the statement reads. “The Orange County Department of Health confirmed that the otter tested positive for rabies. The FWC will continue to monitor the situation.”

Staff members from FWC are

working with the Orange County Department of Health and the city of Maitland to provide information to the public — which so far has come in the form of fliers posted around the lakes.

The FWC encourages residents to be responsible pet owners, keeping vaccinations up to date for all dogs, cats and ferrets.

The requirement is important not only to keep pets from getting rabies but also to protect pet owners if their animal is bitten by a rabid wild animal.

Pets should be kept under direct supervision as well so they don’t come into contact with wild animals.

Residents are encouraged to enjoy wild animals (raccoons, skunks, foxes, etc.) from afar.

Anyone who sees otters exhibiting unusual behavior such approaching pets or acting aggressively should contact the FWC at (888) 404-3922. Anyone bitten or scratched by a wild animal should seek medical help immediately and contact the Florida Department of Health at (407) 858-1400.

If you are exposed to a potentially rabid animal, wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water, and seek medical attention immediately. A health care provider will care for the wound and assess the risk for rabies exposure. The following information will help your health care provider assess your risk: the geographic location of the incident, the type of animal that was involved, how the exposure occurred (provoked or unprovoked), the vaccination status of the animal, and whether the animal can be safely captured and tested for rabies.

Steps taken by the health care practitioner will depend on the circumstances of the bite. Your health care practitioner should consult state or local health departments, veterinarians, or animal control officers to make an informed assessment of the incident and to request assistance. The important factor is that you seek care promptly after you are bitten by any animal.

WINTER PARK RETURN

HARRY SAYER BLACK TIE REPORTER

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis made the case to change a Florida law to allow smoking medical marijuana in a press conference Thursday, Jan. 17, in Winter Park.

Seventy-one percent of Floridians voted to legalize medicinal marijuana on a constitutional ballot in 2016. Then-governor Rick Scott signed the bill into law, approving access to medical marijuana in a variety of forms but making it illegal to smoke.

DeSantis, accompanied by Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez, U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, Winter Park Mayor Steve Leary and attorney and medical marijuana advocate John Morgan, said he would drop a state’s appeal of a court decision to allow smokable medical marijuana by mid-March if the Florida Legislature failed to change the law themselves. He also said he would also dismiss other cases regarding licensing limitations and vertical integration where marijuana companies are required to grow, sell and market their product.

“It’s my judgement that what the Florida Legislature has done to implement the people’s will has not done it in accordance with what the amendment envisioned,” DeSantis said. “Whether (patients) smoke it or not, who am I to judge that? I want people to have their suffering relieved. I don’t think this law is up to snuff.”

DeSantis reiterated his opposition to recreational marijuana being approved in Florida but was confident in the constitutional amendment’s wording to apply only to citizens with debilitating conditions.

Florida House Speaker José Oliva and Senate President Bill Galvano did not join DeSantis for the announcement, but the governor said they had both agreed to change the law.

DeSantis made a return trip to Winter Park on Monday, Jan. 21 to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The governor spoke about King’s legacy to a gathered crowd at Shady Park during the city’s annual Unity Heritage Festival.

“I think the fact you see (Dr. King) in the Lincoln (Memorial) as well is the fact that the things he stood for really are for all time,” DeSantis said. “The principals and the ideas he believed in really have stood the test of time.

We’re a better country for his leadership.”

DeSantis said he carries King’s legacy with him as he continues to appoint state and community leaders.

Gregory Tony and Jamal Sowell, who are black, were recently appointed by DeSantis to be Broward County Sheriff and CEO of Enterprise Florida respectively.

“Look, we’ve got a lot of fish to fry in Florida,” he said. “The last thing I want to be doing is cleaning up for something that should have been done two years ago. This thing should have been implemented. We should have moved on, and I don’t want to be fighting these old battles.”

The announcement is the latest in a series of significant moves for the new governor since his inauguration Jan. 8. DeSantis recently issued a posthumous pardon for the Groveland Four, who were accused of rape 70 years ago; issued a substantial water policy reform plan; appointed three conservative Supreme Court justices; and rescinded over 40 nominations to state boards made by Rick Scott.

Some people believe spirituality and science are diametrically opposed concepts. Some say having faith in the divine can’t be reconciled with looking at the world in a practical and scientific way.

Randy Robertson, founder of the Gladdening Light organization, is not one of those people.

The founding director is confident spirituality and science aren’t on opposing wavelengths. Instead, they are concepts that benefit one another.

“We are all about the intersection of art and spirituality,” Robertson said. “Science is thoroughly compatible with spirituality. They’re on parallel tracks and they complement each other.”

Rollins College is hosting the annual Gladdening Light Symposium, a four-day event that encourages the integration of spirituality, artistic expression and scientific thought, starting Jan 31. More than 400 spiritually minded people from Canada, New England, the Pacific Northwest, California and the East Coast will make their way to Winter Park for a number of enlightening programs and shows.

Gladdening Light has been hosting events since 2011. The first gathering was held at the Winter Park Civic Center, but this year’s event marks its second time at Rollins College. Robertson said Rollins College President Grant Cornwell extended an invitation to host the symposium at the school.

Although the first symposium had a “film” setting, this year’s gathering will focus on the commonalities science, art and spirituality share. Activist and theologian Matthew Fox will be speaking on the spirituality movement, while Villanova University professor Ilia Delio, a science and religion integration expert, will tackle the “undivided wholeness of cosmic

evolution.” Musicians Nóirín Ní Riain and Owen & Moley Ó Súilleabháin will perform ancient Irish music throughout the weekend. “(Ilia Delio) is a person who’s passionate about cosmology and science and how the future is complementing the ways of the spirit,” Robertson said. “Matthew Fox is from the bay area in California and has written quite a bit on how science and the divine are involved on an ongoing creative process. …

I’ve learned from these two giant thinkers.”

Gladdening Light always showcases a number of artists during

the symposium. The Winter Park Iconographers Guild, a painting group that meets at St. Richard’s Episcopal Church, has been spent a year working with Robertson to showcase work at the show.

Sayaka Kamakari and Cindy Borr will be bringing an extensive collection of religious iconography to the Knowles Memorial Chapel. These icons will be homaged in a “soundscape” program with Nóirín Ní Riain and Owen & Moley Ó Súilleabháin on Friday.

Robertson, a Winter Park local and former sports marketing figure, said he decided to go to semi-

nary in New York in the later half of his life. He felt a stronger calling to art and spirituality early in the process and started his nonprofit. The nonprofit started small but now has a board of trustees, a national council of advisers and a group of 50 “radiator” advocates who serve as volunteers and organize the events.

“People center their entire year around our event; we hear that over and over again,” Robertson said. “People are really transformed by the experience here. …

I feel like this event is another in a host of things (such as) the Bach Festival and the Sidewalk Art Festival that put Winter Park on the map nationally and internationally. There’s really not anybody doing exactly what we’re doing anywhere else in the country.”

All Rollins administration faculty and students have free access to the event.

Jewish Academy of Orlando breaks ground on kindness garden HARRY SAYER BLACK TIE REPORTER

Jan. 21 was an important date for two reasons. One is it was Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which celebrates the civil right’s leader’s legacy of equality and compassion. The other is that it was the Jewish holiday Tu B’Shevat, which celebrates trees, nature and being a proper caretaker of the environment.

Leaders at Jewish Academy of Orlando in Maitland couldn’t imagine a better date to host the official groundbreaking for its new kindness garden. The garden, a joint effort between staff and students, is meant to promote peace and unity among its 80-plus students.

The academy received a grant from the Legacy Heritage Institute for the Arts last year to incorpo-

rate fine arts into its Judaic Studies program. The group encouraged the academy to integrate arts into the curriculum and use it as a way to solve problems.

That led to a particular challenge for the academy: How does it use art to improve the school in a practical way? Academy staff brainstormed with students on how to use the grant.

Ultimately, the Jewish Academy’s fifth-grade students decided on creating a “Gan Shel Chesed” garden — which emphasizes kindness, compassion, respect and understanding — in the Maitland campus playground. “(The students) had lots of different ideas, but they came up with the fact that they want less bullying on the playground,” Head of School Alan Rusonik said. “They wanted a kinder, more respectful and compassionate school. … How do you

The Jewish Academy of Orlando’s fifth-grade class decided to plant a kindness garden.

solve that problem? The garden will be both artistic and natural.”

The garden will be adorned with a series of artistic pieces, including clay flowers, painted butterflies, decorated pots and planters with words of kindness and more. Many of those art pieces will be crafted by the academy’s students.

Some of the flowers in the garden will be fern leaf bamboo, foxtail fern, rosemary, lemoingrass, ‘Miami Supreme’ gardenia grafted,

bluedaze, pineapple sage and more.

The garden also will have a “buddy bench,” where students can sit and comfort one another.

“This really was all generated from the students,” Rusonik said.

“It’s going to be a contemplative space on the playground. … We’re working with a landscape architect who designed the garden for us.”

Many of the academy’s parents and students attended the groundbreaking ceremony early Monday

morning — the Jewish Academy of Orlando is always open on MLK Day, Rusonik said.

He said the date was appropriate not only to celebrate King but also the Tu B’Shevat holiday, which celebrates nature and new beginnings.

The garden is expected to be fully planted in mid-April. Some of the school’s fifth-grade students are interested in starting a gardening club.

Cooper earns fourth term on Winter Park commission ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Following the Jan. 22 qualifying deadline, one Winter Park city commissioner will face two challengers in the March 12 general election, and a second earned a fourth term.

Seat Three City Commissioner Carolyn Cooper earned a fourth and final term by default after no other candidates filed to run for the seat.

Chandler, the newest candidate to declare in the race for Seat Four, is most known throughout the community for her work as manager of the Hannibal Square Heritage Center — a facility that pays tribute to the past, present and future contributions of Winter Park’s historic African-American community. The center features a variety of historical photos,

If Chandler is elected, she would become the first African-American Winter Park city commissioner in more than 125 years, she said.

“In my work serving families on the west side of Winter Park, I’ve seen how difficult it can be to connect with the hearts and minds of some Winter Park commissioners and board members,” Chandler said. “I know that my neighbors are not the only ones who feel a loss of connection with City Hall — that’s been happening in many Winter Park neighborhoods for a long time.

“That’s why our first order of business is to communicate directly with Winter Park families in neighborhoods all over Winter Park in a way that expands and sharpens our understanding of issues that are important to all Winter Park families,” she said.

That ties right in to the main component of her campaign.

“One thing that won’t change is the core value of our campaign: families come first,” Chandler said. “We’ll look at the status quo from that perspective. We know that in the recent past, there are a number of times that city hall hasn’t put Winter Park’s families first. We have proposals to put us back on the right track — to re-connect city hall with Winter Park families — but first, we’re going to take the time to process what we’ve learned from Winter Park’s families and make sure that our proposals are shaped by their input.”

Strength training at any age can help improve muscle mass and bone density of retirement a few years ago to join Elite because, he said, he saw the value in what they offered their clients.

“The equipment here is top of the line and the techniques produce results like no other,” Rinehart said.

At Elite, education is as important as the equipment. Before clients spend anytime working out, they share their medical history, goals and concerns with trainers who develop a plan that covers time inside and outside of the gym.

“Clients’ needs are evaluated and we give them a detailed analysis of what they need to do, especially at home, to accomplish their goals,” said owner Monte Mitchell.

Homework might include keeping food and exercise journals to learn more about their habits, especially if weight loss is a goal.

The gym also offers a 12-week group nutrition workshop to their members, guaranteeing results for their clients, provided they follow all the recommendations made during their consultation.

70-year-old physician Dr. Maria Bors has been a client of Elite for seven years and finds that training there fits quite nicely into her busy lifestyle.

“The 20-minute workouts are easy for me to fit in and I find them easy to commit to,” Bors said.

Rather than working out with sweaty, bulked-up gym rats, Elite’s clients find an almost Zen-like atmosphere, with trainers attentive to their every motion.

Speaking in tones of calm assurance, trainers offer equal parts encouragement and challenge, pushing clients to new levels.

The workouts are physically demanding, but not in the way one might expect.

Motions are slow and intensely controlled, demanding maximum effort from muscles while barely breaking a sweat.

“Many clients don’t even change out of office clothes,” Rinehart said. “They simply don’t need to.”

Before beginning with Elite, Bors suffered from daily back pain, but after just a few months in the gym, she experienced a noticeable change in pain levels and now rarely suffers at all.

“It’s been remarkable for me,” she said. “I can feel how strong I am, especially when I am traveling carrying luggage. I have a strength I never had before.”

“The strength training is very good for preventing bone loss,” said Bors, “which is something we all need as we age.”

Allison Olcsvay Three years ago, the client was facing the same prognosis that she has watched her mother suffer with for de-cades. The progressive osteopenia would someday develop into osteoporosis, bringing on devastating broken bones and pain.

“My mother is 93 now, and I’ve watched her suffer so much; I just don’t want that to happen to me,” she said.

Medication to strengthen her bones never produced significant results, and after years of taking them, she decided to try a new course of action.

Following the recommendation of a friend she signed on with Elite Strength and Fitness of Winter Park and began following a twice-weekly strengthtraining regimen designed to increase her muscle mass and bone density.

At her next DEXA scan to measure density, the client's doctor noticed a big change and she was able to stop taking her medication.

Success stories like hers don’t come easy though; it took months of intense workouts with the guidance of personal trainers to get there.

At 64, Les Rinehart, one of Elite’s train-ers, knows the challenges his clients face.

POTTERY STYLES BARBOTINE POTTERY Barbotine pottery differed from china painting in that it was decorated before glazing. Mary Louise McLaughlin picked up on the method and documented her approach in her 1880 book, “Pottery Decoration Under the Glaze.” Her pottery style — called “Cincinnati Limoges” — was picked up by and encouraged by fellow artist Maria Longworth Nichols.

ROOKWOOD EXOTIC Japanese ceramic displays at the Centennial International Exhibition have flora and fauna designs with a bird’s eye perspective that quickly enamored American audiences.

Rookwood artists created pieces based on Asian ceramics and included off-beat animals such as bats or spiders in the designs.

ROOKWOOD BOTANICAL Floral designs remained the most popular at Rookwood; many of the women who painted china also were enthusiastic gardeners.

This led to tonalism, which blended deep colors with smoky tones that went well with the photorealistic flowers adorning the ceramics.

ROOKWOOD REALISTIC Near the end of the 19th century, Rookwood artists turned black-and-white photographs of NativeAmerican chiefs into colorful portraits on ceramics. Each piece included the name and nation of the Native-American leader.

HARRY SAYER BLACK TIE REPORTER

Q

uite a few things happened at the Centennial International Exhibition in Philadelphia in 1876. Alexander Graham Bell demonstrated his new telephone invention to the public.

The torch-bearing arm of the Statue of Liberty was put on display for guests to explore.

And, important to the country’s art scene, a new pottery style was vaulted into public consciousness.

The Morse Museum of American Art’s “Earth into Art — The Flowering of American Art Pottery” exhibit examines the history of the distinctly American style of art. The craft, which enjoyed more than 40 years of popularity from 1876 to 1915, is considered to be the first of America’s international original art styles, according to Jennifer Thalheimer, Morse Museum’s curator and collection manager.

The exhibit, which wraps in fall 2020, tracks the pottery movement’s beginnings and style variations over the decades.

There are more than 100 pieces in the museum that reflect the evolving tastes and techniques of artists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. One-third of the pottery pieces were gifts given to the museum from Herb and Susan O. Robinson in the 1980s.

Thalheimer believes this exhibit is particularly comprehensive in tracking the art style’s progression over the years. Many of the pieces on display are marked and dated from the various creators. Morse staff spent a couple of years gathering information on the various ceramics. Catherine Hinman, director of public affairs and publications, said the process has been like gathering string.

“You want it to be something beautiful,” Thalheimer said. “It’s great to have information, but you want people to look at the objects and realize how beautiful they are.

1876 CENTENNIAL INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION

The Centennial International Exhibition in Philadelphia in 1876 marked the beginning of the art pottery phenomenon in America.

The exhibition’s displays of painted porcelain from France and Japan were an immediate hit among American artists and patrons, Thalheimer said. The ceramic process for these pieces was relatively simple. Color and

a paste-like material called flux was applied to a glazed ceramic.

It then would be placed in a kiln to fuse the paint and flux to the pottery. The pots also would include illustrations and directions to make things easier for beginning artists.

Furthermore, the new art style was introduced at a time when women were fighting for equal rights and, coming out of the Civil War, looking for ways to make an impact on the world.

“It was around the time women were fighting for the suffrage movement,” Thalheimer said.

“Your vocation was going to be stay-at-home mom or a teacher.

For the first time, it was something that they could do as a profession, and it was respected.

It gave them new opportunities.”

Two women in particular were the driving force behind the art style, according to the exhibit.

Mary Louise McLaughlin and Maria Longworth Nichols both were talented china painters inspired by what they saw at the Centennial International Exhibition. It pushed them to do more, Thalheimer said.

McLaughlin developed the “Barbotine” pottery technique after seeing it at the exhibition and published an influential decoration manual and organized

the Cincinnati Pottery Club in 1879. “(McLaughlin) really took on the challenge that many men couldn’t do,” Thalheimer said.

“Which is to figure out the formula that had been done in France to do this under-the-glaze technique.”

Nichols, who came from a wealthy Cincinnati family, started the Rookwood Pottery organization to better support art pottery decorators than the existing commercial pottery organizations. Thalheimer said Rookwood is now one of the most wellknown pottery brands today.

Up close & personal Opera Orlando is bringing an immersive “Barber of Seville” show to Casa Feliz in Winter Park.

HARRY SAYER BLACK TIE REPORTER

Harry Sayer

Opera Orlando is hard at work preparing for its production at the Casa Feliz Historic Home & Venue.

Figaro — played by Preisser — helping a disguised noble to free a young woman from a villainous doctor so they can marry. It’s very much a comedy, and Preisser likens it to early Bugs Bunny and Looney Tunes with a witty, fast patter that keeps people laughing. This particular iteration takes place in the late 1800s to match the building’s aesthetic.

The opera is a different kind of performance that requires a different type of performer, Preisser said. Both he and Neu sought out performers who were comfortable with working in smaller, more intimate spaces and also could bring a level of improv and acting to the show.

“The Barber of Seville” also has various musical pieces that will be

performed in English, a departure from its typical Italian. It’s a change for Neu, who has directed the show in its native language before. He has enjoyed the audience’s ability to understand the punchlines as soon as they land rather than having to wait for a translation.

“If the whole point of this is to bring opera up close and be personal, it has to be accessible,” he said. “People have to understand the language. Plenty of companies are doing opera in English now; it shouldn’t be that shocking to anybody. … This opera is a comedy.

There’s very clever things, and if you don’t understand the jokes right at the moment they happen, you miss out.”

Artistic Director Gabriel Preisser said he has had his eye on the location since the group’s rebranding three years ago. He recruited Bob Neu, who he worked with on sitespecific productions in Minneapolis, to be the stage director.

Because of the building’s Spanish architecture and exterior balcony, both Preisser and Neu thought it would be a perfect locale for the 19th-century set of “Barber of Seville.” The two-and-a-half hour performance will begin outside the building and then head into the family room, where performers will be entering and exiting around them. It ends at the back of the house, where the archways factor into the story.

Opera can be an exhilarating, grand affair. But with a large venue and far-away seating, it can run the risk of the audience feeling detached.

That won’t be a problem with the Opera Orlando’s sold-out “Barber of Seville” production at the Casa Feliz Historic Home & Venue starting in late January. It’s set to be an immersive experience, with the group’s members putting on a show where they will sing, joke and even shave off a man’s beard while being as close to the audience as they can.

“It’s so amazing as a performer, when you’re used to the light in your eyes and sort of being able to see the audience but not really, to see the impact that opera and singing has on people, because they’re right there,” Stage Director Bob Neu said. “To be this close and hear (singing), people’s jaws just kind of drop, they can’t get over this.”

The opera series, which will start Jan. 31 and conclude Feb. 10, will be site-specific for Casa Feliz — meaning the opera group specifically chose the historic building to be the setting.
