Artistic Directors’ Note Welcome to Antaeus and the second production of our 2015 season. During this uncertain time for the Los Angeles theatre community, we believe even more strongly in the power of intimate theatre and we’re so grateful to find kindred spirits in ou,y our audience. This is a year of growth for us here at Antaeus. With that in mind, we found ourselves drawn to projects that force us to face our own evolution, and our own sense of growing up. Henry IV, Part One led us into an exploration of honor, of the relationship between fathers and sons, and of the choices we make in determining our own destinies. With William Inge’s beautiful and stealthy Picnic, we hope to delve into the predicaments of small-town life in 1950s Kansas as the residents grapple with ambition, desire and loneliness.

  • Teaching the 4 Elements by Shelagh Pyper
    Teaching the 4 Elements by Shelagh Pyper Wind Water Pages Pages 3 arth ire Pages Pages Developed thanks to support from Playful Nature Education The way we interact with nature has changed. Children spend less and less time playing outside and have very few opportunities to connect with nature (Clements 2004, Hofferth & Sandberg 2001, Kimbro et al. 2011). Yet research shows that children need a connection to nature (Berman et al. 2008, Hoffman, 1992). Not just the sunny side of nature, but all of nature’s elements. In Last Child in the Woods; Saving Our Children from Nature Deficit Disorder, Richard Louv writes, “Healing the broken bond between our young and nature is in our self-interest, not only because aesthetics or justice demand it, but also because our mental, physical, and spiritual health depend upon it.” Children lead with their hands, not their minds. In order for them to develop a relationship with the natural elements of Wind, Water, Earth and Fire (i.e. a connection to Nature) they need to explore the magic and wonder of these things with all their senses. Then, and only then, can we begin to teach them terminology and help them understand the complex interactions and delicate balance upon which all living things—including humans—depend. When their head begins to understand the interdependence of all life, then we can implore their hearts. And if, as a young person, they formed foundational memories outdoors, with trees and birds and fresh water, then their hearts will respond. As with all forms of education, and even recreation, nature education needs to be age appropriate.
