New Arts Festival '92 A retrospective look at the gala and festival By Frank Wagner Islander staff writer Movement varied during gala performances At the appointed hour of 8 p.m. on Aug. 14, Patricia Gair, executive director of the city of Fort Myers Arts and Cultural Affairs, appeared on the stage of the Arcade Theater in downtown Fort Myers. She warmly welcomed the fairly sizeable audience. She thanked those making possible the New Arts Festival '92: Mayor Wilbur Smith, city councilmen, the Lee County Visitor and Convention Bureau and a special thanks to the Sheraton Harbor Place for making a home away from home for faculty and students. The gala program opened with a one-act play, Anton Chekhov's "The Brute." It was directed by Richard Jennings. The cast of three were faculty members Joan Olsen, Harold Odom Jr. and Steve Pudenz. It was quite a spirited rendition. The concentration seemed to be more on outer phy sicalization and vocal power rather than on true characterization. This approach seemed to be well received by the audience, however, I found it much less than satisfactory. There were three premier pieces choreographed by the Dance Department faculty, featuring the festival students. The first was "The Snow Has No Voice," with choreography by Victoria Lundell and with live music. Then came the best of the three pieces "being no David Parsons Dance Company one, going no where," [sic]. The choreography by Jane Carrington made effective use of the individuality of Many high points the dancers in duets and group movements in space, and many questions heightened by a constant series of entrances and exits. This is the best work by Carrington I've seen. It must be said, there is nothing wrong with the New "In The Marrow," with live music, was Arts Festival '92 in the Arcade Theater in downtown choreographed by Gail Gilbert.

It is hoped that the dance students fully appreciated The quality of the performance art hall — the Arcade the luxury and privilege of performing with live Theater - is big-time with state-of-the-art equipment musicians on stage. This is a rare treat. The price of admission is ridiculously low for galas, company dance concerts and faculty chamber music performances. The quality and appreciation of the pitifully small audiences is tremendous. But, my friends, something is rotten in the state of Denmark; something's rotten to the core. There has to be some reason that people from the entire area of Lee County are staying away from these scintillating performances in droves. It would be embarrassing to publish the small number of people in the audiences Frank Almond, violinist other than students and members of the festival. The potent questions are: A suggestion in programming: Don't try to leave us Is there a solution, or is this type of festival doomed with too much movement. Carrington's piece would to a meager lack of enthusiasm and small audiences? have been enough from the Dance Department, and For the general public, is culture still a dirty word? would have kept the evening to a proper length.

N The five-week program filled the participants with knowledge. Before the "Owl Prowl," the group listened to tapes of sounds made by various island animals like screech, barn and great horned owls, and green, squirrel and Cuban tree frogs, as well as pig frogs and toads. They then met for an evening stroll and tried to identify the sounds of what Kensing referred to as "Sanibel Night Songs." The group also tagged along on a turtle patrol, and will meet for another evening session to wait for an appearance Hallie Nachtshein, 10, stencils buckets by the sea turtles.

My mind's eye still sees David Parsons, himself, sailing through space as if gravity did not exist. The Music Department simply dazzled each and every time they played. What you missed, I fear, is your loss. Sometimes I feel like a preacher railing verbally from the pulpit, admonishing errant parishioners for non-attendance.

Dalton-Hartel Dance A FOR YOUR BUSINESS.

Steve Pudenz, actor The Drama Department is always at a great disadvantage in festival situations such as this. It seems to take much longer to develop a project, establish a technique or garner a rapport of mutual trust so essential for a theatrical learning experience. Could it be that students interested in the festival's dance and music classes would be much more interested in a Drama Department which concentrates primarily on acting for the musical theater? That seems to be much more in tune with the festival's intent than the standard drama and classical acting classes now being offered. It is just possible that someone like Gwen Verdon might be interested in becoming a guiding force in that part of the festival's curriculum for '93. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
