  • John Waters (Writer/Director)
    John Waters (Writer/Director) Born in Baltimore, MD in 1946, John Waters was drawn to movies at an early age, particularly exploitation movies with lurid ad campaigns. He subscribed to Variety at the age of twelve, absorbing the magazine's factual information and its lexicon of insider lingo. This early education would prove useful as the future director began his career giving puppet shows for children's birthday parties. As a teen-ager, Waters began making 8-mm underground movies influenced by the likes of Jean-Luc Godard, Walt Disney, Andy Warhol, Russ Meyer, Ingmar Bergman, and Herschell Gordon Lewis. Using Baltimore, which he fondly dubbed the "Hairdo Capitol of the World," as the setting for all his films, Waters assembled a cast of ensemble players, mostly native Baltimoreans and friends of long standing: Divine, David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce, Mink Stole and Edith Massey. Waters also established lasting relationships with key production people, such as production designer Vincent Peranio, costume designer Van Smith, and casting director Pat Moran, helping to give his films that trademark Waters "look." Waters made his first film, an 8-mm short, Hag in a Black Leather Jacket in 1964, starring Mary Vivian Pearce. Waters followed with Roman Candles in 1966, the first of his films to star Divine and Mink Stole. In 1967, he made his first 16-mm film with Eat Your Makeup, the story of a deranged governess and her lover who kidnap fashion models and force them to model themselves to death. Mondo Trasho, Waters' first feature length film, was completed in 1969 despite the fact that the production ground to a halt when the director and two actors were arrested for "participating in a misdemeanor, to wit: indecent exposure." In 1970, Waters completed what he described as his first "celluloid atrocity," Multiple Maniacs.

  • 'I'm SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL I CAN't STAND IT MYSELF': Female Trouble, Glamorous Abjection, and Divine's Transgressive Pe
    CUJAH MENU ‘I’M SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL I CAN’T STAND IT MYSELF’: Female Trouble, Glamorous Abjection, and Divine’s Transgressive Performance Paisley V. Sim Emerging from the economically depressed and culturally barren suburbs of Baltimore, Maryland in the early 1960s, director John Waters realizes flms that bridge a fascination with high and low culture – delving into the putrid realities of trash. Beginning with short experimental flms Hag in a Black Leather Jacket (1964), Roman Candles (1966), and Eat Your Makeup (1968), the early flms of John Waters showcase the licentious, violent, debased and erotic imagination of a small community of self-identifed degenerates – the Dreamlanders. Working with a nominal budget and resources, Waters wrote, directed and produced flms to expose the fetid underbelly of abject American identities. His style came into full force in the early 1970s with his ‘Trash Trio’: Multiple Maniacs (1970), Pink Flamingos (1972), and Female Trouble (1974). At the heart of Waters’ cinematic achievements was his creation, muse, and star: Divine.1 Divine was “’created’ in the late sixties – by the King of Sleaze John Waters and Ugly-Expert [makeup artist] Van Smith – as the epitome of excess and vulgari- ty”2. Early performances presented audiences with a “vividly intricate web of shame, defance, abjection, trauma, glamour, and divinity that is responsible for the profoundly moving quality of Divine as a persona.”3 This persona and the garish aesthetic cultivated by Van Smith aforded Waters an ideal performative vehicle to explore a world of trash. Despite being met with a mix of critical condemnation and aversion which relegated these flms to the extreme periph- ery of the art world, this trio of flms laid the foundation for the cinematic body of work Waters went on to fesh out in the coming four decades.

  • Cry–Baby” Title Treatment #2
    #2 Cry–Baby” Title Treatment #2 My “Case Study” Series is an attempt to answer the many ques- tions I receive about my work. It’s difficult and time-consuming to answer each and every question from students and profes- sionals, so I felt that creating this series might be helpful to others in understanding my creative process by using specific examples. Where do my ideas come from? How do I develop them, transforming them from crude ideas to finished art? By retracing the steps I followed on several projects I hope to be able to provide some insight into this process. I’d like to mention this about this process: although many of my projects have similarities, each and every project has it’s own peculiarities, and therefore may have to follow a very different path from what is described in the following Case Study. This #2 in the series follows the steps I took to create the title treatment for a Broadway musical. PROJECT: To design a title treatment for the upcoming musical adaptaion to the Broadway stage of the 1990 John Waters cult classic film “Cry-Baby” which had originally featured Johnny Depp, Iggy Pop, Polly Bergen, Traci Lords, Ricki Lake, and Troy Donohue. “Cry-Baby–The Musical” is scheduled to open on Broad- way in the Spring of 2008. CLIENT: Serino Coyne, an ad agency which “services the world’s leading theatrical producers and the most prestigious theatres and performing arts centers in the nation”. I worked with Moira Deakin, Creative Projects Manager for Serino Coyne.

Alles, was Sie über den Regisseur von HAIRSPRAY und POLYESTER immer schon wis- sen wollten, aber zu fragen nie den Mut aufbrachten, beantwortet er hier im Rahmen einer One-Man-Show auf unterhaltsamste und überaus profes- sionelle Weise. Denn John Waters ist absolut bühnenerprobt.

  • Transcript a Pinewood Dialogue with John Waters
    TRANSCRIPT A PINEWOOD DIALOGUE WITH JOHN WATERS In the films of John Waters, “The Pope of Trash,” outrageous behavior co-exists with genuine humanism. After his genuinely shocking Pink Flamingos , Female Trouble , and Desperate Living , he made the surprise move of directing a PG-rated musical, Hairspray , which placed its classic teen love story against the backdrop of early-1960s racial integration. Sadly, the movie was Waters’s last collaboration with the actor Divine, who died a week after its release. Waters spoke about Hairspray as part of a Moving Image retrospective of his films. A Pinewood Dialogue following a screening of completely obsessed by it.

  • Hairspray: a Glsen Discussion Giude for Educators and Students
    HAIRSPRAY: A GLSEN DISCUSSION GIUDE FOR EDUCATORS AND STUDENTS It’s been nearly three decades since John Waters brought us his film, Hairspray, in 1988. From there, the story of Tracy Turnblad and her friends and family has lived on through the original film, the Broadway adaptation in 2002 and subsequent presence in school and community theater productions, the remake of the film in 2007 and NBC’s 2016 Hairspray LIVE. Set in racially-segregated 1960s Baltimore, Hairspray remains relevant to today’s audiences as it reflects many current events and issues in U.S. society and can be used to address a variety of themes, including, racism and bias of all kinds, body image, individuality and identity, student activism, community-police interactions and media bias. And, of course, it is a lot of fun. However you watch Hairspray—live, recorded, on stage or on screen—the story is full of potential inspiration, teachable moments and conversation starters for middle and high school educators and students, alike. Below you will find suggested discussion questions for use in your school. HOW TO USE HAIRSPRAY IN YOUR SCHOOL EDUCATORS AND COLLEAGUES: Consider discussing Hairspray at a staff meeting, PD session or professional learning community (PLC). Ask educators to watch Hairspray ahead of time or focus on a particular theme or song that you can watch/listen to together. Pick a topic or two that seem particularly relevant to your school community and use the educator questions below to guide the conversation. IN THE CLASSROOM: Bring Hairspray into the classroom through discussions and assignments aligned with your existing curriculum.
