Inspired by the Villa Poiana, Andrea Palladio’s 16th century villa which inspired the theatre’s central entrance, the original work includes watercolor, pencil work, both color and graphite, and represents the ideal geometries of the building’s elements, size, proportion and layout. © copyright David Braly Library of Congress Card No. 74628447 STATE ARTS AWARDS 2015 • ALABAMAARTS • 1 The Alabama State Council on the Arts 2 015 2 • ALABAMAARTS • STATE ARTS AWARDS 2015 ARTS AWARDS 2015 by Al Head tarting in 1980, thirty-five years ago, the State important role in enhancing education, economic Council on the Arts began recognizing out- development, community revitalization, tourism Sstanding individuals who have made significant expansion and the celebration of cultural diversity. contributions to the arts in Alabama.

Bruno first felt the power of the arts as a child, growing up out- side Orlando, Florida. “I was an artistic kid,” she says. “My head was full of classical music all the time, and my rock ‘n’ roll parents didn’t always know what to do with me.” Determined to become a concert pianist on the world’s great stages, Bruno immersed herself in the instru- ment. Years of practice earned her admission to the prestigious Juilliard School in New York—but there, Photo: Ben Van Hook unexpectedly, she suffered a wrist Theresa with students in a visual arts class at ArtPlay, the Alys Stephens Center’s home for education and outreach. injury that ended her hopes for a career as a performer. Recovering from that blow was one of the toughest challenges of her life, Bruno admits. During her 2014 TEDxBirmingham talk, she recalled asking herself countless times, “What is my voice in the world if I can’t play for you? Without my piano keys, what is my power to make people feel something extraordinary and transform the world for good?” She directed her creative energies into film production and to developing marketing and advertising strate- gies for Alabama companies. She also began serving on leadership boards for community organizations such as the Alabama Symphony Orchestra, the Birmingham YWCA, and the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB).

The landmark facility also is home to the university’s theatre and music departments and the Alabama Symphony Orchestra. “The strength of a community depends, in part, on access to a rich variety of arts experiences,” Bruno says. With that thought in mind, Bruno has spearheaded the ASC’s bold forays into producing original works. One commissioned piece, A More Convenient Season, created by internationally acclaimed composer Yotam Haber, served as a centerpiece for Birmingham’s 50th anniversary com- memoration of key civil rights struggles. After its premiere at the ASC, the work, which blends orchestra, chorus, solo performances, electronic sounds, and video, debuted in Los Angeles.

It’s a step toward an ASC-centered artist community, Bruno says. “We have a passion for local artists, and we can be a haven for them,” she says. In 2010, Bruno led the development of ArtPlay, the ASC’s education and outreach initiative. Housed in a lovingly restored Victorian house on Birmingham’s Southside, ArtPlay offers classes and workshops to inspire creative growth in people of all ages—everything from primary ballet for preschoolers to acting for adults.

  • Muscle Shoals Sound Records
    WHO'S WHO AT MUSCLE SHOALS SOUND RECORDS 1000 Alabama Avenue, P.O. Box 915, Sheffield, Ala. 35660 (205) 381-9200 Muscle Shoals Sound Records was more or less the natural extension of what had become one of the most successful production organizations in the business. The four principals of the production company, Jimmy Johnson, Barry Beckett, David Hood and Roger Hawkins made up what became the legendary "Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section". Jimmy and Roger met while playing in local bands at school dances and clubs along the state line. They were later members of an early 60's group called the Delrays. At the same time David Hood was playing in a group called the Mystics. Johnson was the first to move into studio work when he began working with producer Rick Hall as an engineer and their session guitarist. By 1964 Jimmy and Roger were working regularly at Fame Studios with the occasional assistance of David Hood, when Hood could get away from his father's tire store a block and a half away from the studio. In 1966 Hawkins and Johnson played on their first million seller, "When A Man Loves A Woman" by Percy Sledge. In 1967 Barry Beckett came to Muscle Shoals to cut "I'm Your Puppet" by James and Bobby Purify. It was about that time that Spooner Oldham, the Muscle Shoals keyboard player, decided to move to Mem- phis. Shortly thereafter, Barry Becket and his family came to Muscle Shoals and the Rhythm Section was formed. By the late 1960's there were 3 studios in Muscle Shoals and the Rhythm Section was working at all of them.
