He just never faculty member Michael imagined that one day he’d be helping to create it. Dawson MM ‘04 (Jazz Studies) is managing Modern But that’s exactly what the musician and School of Music faculty member is doing editor of Drummer, the world’s as Modern Drummer’s managing editor. “Interviewing, writing and editing allow leading magazine for me to interact with creative minds on a different basis,” he says. “And writing and playing drummers. are surprisingly similar. A good story has a flow—a beginning, a middle and a climax— just like a good solo.”

His path to the role of leading music journalist began with a course he took during his graduate studies at UArts. “I did a transcription project for [Music Professor] Don Glanden,” he says, “and he urged me to give it to Modern Drummer’s senior editor. They published it, and the editor-in-chief asked me to come up to interview for a job.”

He’s been at the magazine for nine years now, spending a couple of years as associate editor and eventually stepping into the role of managing editor.

A good story has “When I first started out, it was an intimidating transition,” he says. “I began studying style manuals, but I had a passion for the content, a flow—just like so I learned on the fly.” Dawson says that in his career as a magazine writer, he’s had to focus a good solo. on telling compelling, engaging and informative stories as concisely as possible, self-editing and rewriting in order to make the stories flow well within the parameters of the assignments. And that’s had an unexpected ripple effect.

“This has had a major influence on how I approach drumming and composing,” he says. “Whenever I’m writing a song or coming up with a drum track for an artist’s music, I’m much more conscious about what I’m playing so that it best serves the music at all times. My goal now is to make every note count, just as every character in a 100-word CD review carries a tremendous amount of weight.”

Dawson also sees his knowledge of musical form as incredibly valuable in shaping his writing. “I recently wrote a 500-word news story about a clinic tour by three artists,” he says. “Artist A is the drummer in an internationally recognized band, artist B is a highly respected educator and artist C is an up-and-coming star who recently won a national drum contest. I wanted to include quotes from each of them in the report, but given the word restriction, I had to be very deliberate about how I used them. I decided to use a common musical form as my overall architecture—ABCAB. I wanted to capitalize on the star power of artist A, so I used his quote first. I followed his quote with one from artist B to add some depth to the article. I then grabbed a slightly longer quote from artist C. This acted liked the bridge in a song, which often functions as a slight detour from the main theme. I concluded the piece by returning to quotes from artists A and B.”

His advice to current Music students? “Don’t take a job unless you’re willing to throw yourself into it 100 percent. Look yourself in the mirror, see what you’re good at and what you’re not, and ask yourself if you’re willing to work at it. Mine certainly wasn’t a linear path, but my dual careers in music and writing are a perfect fit.” 13 p r o f i l e

By day, the longtime Liberal Arts professor teaches dramatic literature to her UArts students. Her “night job” takes her to theaters across Philadelphia and beyond as an award-winning theater critic for The Philadelphia Inquirer. Her third career—as an adven- ture-travel writer—has involved dogsledding trips in the Yukon, zip-lining the rainforest in Belize, fishing for piranha in the Amazon, walking coast-to-coast across England and rounding up cattle on horseback in the Australian Outback. Oh, and for good measure, she’s finishing up her fifth book.

“I’m restless,” says Zinman.

The interconnection between her worlds benefits her UArts students. “They read these contemporary works, we discuss them in-depth and they write about them,” she says. Make connections, “I review shows in Philadelphia, New York and London, and I see practi- test out ideas, cally everything, so the focus in my courses is very current—there’s articulate thoughts. a vitality and an authenticity there. It’s that urgency that I enjoy.”

That immediacy also drives her role with The Philadelphia Inquirer, for which she was named one of Ameri- ca’s 12 most influential theater critics by American Theatre magazine (she’s also written for The New York Times and The Times of London). “I love coming into a show with no preconceived ideas, then having to come to decisions quickly and bang out a review,” she says. “I try hard not to sound professorial in my reviews, but I can’t resist trying to teach someone something.”

In her UArts classroom, students, she says, “self-select” her admittedly challenging

‘08 courses. “I’m a hard marker and I demand a lot in class discussions,” she says. “I believe

that each class meeting should be an occasion for students to rise to. These are individuals who have developed other artistic talents over time and they know they can do other c h e n stuff—but often they’ve forgotten how smart they are in a purely intellectual way. In discussions and in their writing, I try to help them make connections, test out ideas, j a s o n articulate their thoughts.”

And they do write. In her contemporary novels course, she assigns 10 novels and six papers. “I believe the only way to become a better writer is to write. By the end of the semester they are better writers. It’s wonderful to see their faces when they get an ‘A.’”

Many of Zinman’s students find the challenge rewarding. “A whole bunch of students who recently graduated had taken five courses with me,” she says. “You make a great connection—over time you get to know the motion of someone’s mind. They’re eager to learn things about the world. It’s very gratifying.”

Of all of the balls she continues to juggle in her several careers, that’s the one that really fires her passion. “Teaching at this level is the best job in the world,” she says with a smile. 15 m a r y o ’m a l l e y b f a ’ 0 7 (crafts) a r t i s t a l u m n i f e a t u r e d

D e r e k D r e s s l e r BFa ’05 (w r i t i n g F o r F i l M & t e l e v i s i o n ) is on a roll. The writer of animated films and television shows recently completed a project with one of the biggest names in Hollywood, John Lassetter, the Academy Award-winning head of Disney Pixar Studios and the genius behind the films “Up,” “Monsters, Inc.,” “Cars,” “A Bug’s Life,” “Finding Nemo,” “WALL-E,” the “Toy Story” series and more. And what they were working on was a brand-new series of animated shorts for Disney reintroducing the most iconic cartoon character of all time, Mickey Mouse.

Add to that his job developing TV pilots and DVD movies for Mattel—the toy company that’s sold more than $62 million worth of animated-film DVDs in the past three years— and you get the idea that things are going pretty well for this Writing for Film & Television alum. Derek Dressler BFA ’05 Dressler’s talent for storytelling and his sense of humor have helped him move up from (Writing for Film & TV) his start in the business doing what he describes as “grunt work” on the Disney Channel relaxes during one of animated series “Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil” to serving as its head writer last the few breaks in his season. busy Hollywood work schedule. “In addition to majoring in Writing for Film & Television at UArts, I minored in Film,” says Dressler, “and a big part of that was working with actors and other students from different departments, learning the nature of collaboration. I took acting and musical theater classes, and I married an illustrator (M i r a n D a w e B B e r D r e s s l e r B Fa ’ 0 6 [ i llustration ] ).”

All of that’s really paying off now.

“You have to be ready to collaborate—because in the studio system, you might rewrite a script again and again, then toss it out and start over,” he says. “Because the faculty at UArts actually worked in the industry, that reality was drilled into my head—in a good way. Jeff Ryder can be incredibly blunt and he has no tolerance for BS. His instincts are honed by time served in the industry, and you learn very quickly to develop your own instincts. It’s a very hard business, and if you don’t have that knowledge and visceral You have to creative experience before going to California, you can get buried.”

Another critical lesson he learned at UArts was making wise career choices. be ready “The key questions I ask are, ‘Can I commit to working on this project for an extended period of time?’ and ‘Is this something people will want to collaborate. to see?’”

And he’s chosen well. It was his storytelling ability and his brand of humor on “Kick Buttowski” that caught Mattel’s eye. And his work on the new Mickey Mouse shorts (airing now on Disney Channel) brought him together with Hollywood giant Lassetter, whose animated films have grossed almost $11 billion worldwide. “Story sessions were intimidating at first, but he’s such a great guy and always on target,” says Dressler. “His passion for storytelling and character is inspiring. When you’re creating stories for the most recognizable character in the world, always have John Lassetter in the room.”

So what comes next for him? “I’d like to eventually get into features—genre movies and TV projects,” he says. “A crazy movie I worked on just premiered at Cannes, ‘Return to Nuke ‘Em High: Volume 1,’ the sequel to Troma Entertainment’s 1986 cult classic ‘Class of Nuke ‘Em High.’

“I’ve worked on some fun stuff,” he says, “and it’s gotten a good response. Now I want to expand and push it further and work on things I enjoy that also have an audience.”

Larger than life and in glorious 3-D, Spider-Man swings through the canyons of Manhattan, on his way to an urgent—and unpleasant—date with a rampaging, mutated green villain known as the The real heroes Lizard. Unbeknownst to the audience, however, the real heroes of the movie were hard at work behind the scenes for months before the film of the movie opened—and they don’t wear capes or shoot webs.

And Kablan’s helped to create that visual magic on a growing list of major films, most notably the blockbusters “The Amazing Spider-Man” and Disney’s “Oz the Great and Powerful,” which earned a combined $1.2 billion worldwide. She’s now working on “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” (May 2, 2014), and she says that putting together such a movie is a huge undertaking.

“Visual effects crews at Imageworks range from 150 to 200 people,” she says, “with teams of artists building models, animating characters and lighting computer-generated scenery.”

And the results can be spectacular. In “The Amazing Spider-Man,” for example, those iconic canyons of Manhattan? Not real. The shimmering Emerald City that an astonished wizard passes through for the first time in “Oz the Great and Powerful”? The product of many talented effects artists’ imaginations. And it takes a lot of work to make it so.

“As a visual effects coordinator, I often get to be involved from the very beginning of our production process, when our team focuses on finding a ‘look’ for the movie and builds a pipeline that can help us achieve that look,” she says. “I’m responsible for a ton of different things, from scheduling shots, to working with the artists, to taking part in marketing meetings—and it changes with every movie. There’s an incredible amount of project management involved.”

She credits her UArts experience with helping her develop a solid foundation, both tech- nically and creatively, that still serves her well. “One of the things I loved most about my education at UArts was the broad scope of topics that were covered,” she says. “Having the opportunity to take classes that were outside of my niche—things like acting, dance, printmaking and writing—allowed me to develop the ability to think creatively in other areas of life. One thing that’s constant in filmmaking is change, so I rely on these creative thinking skills regularly to tackle the unexpected challenges that come my way.”

Kablan, who received an MFA in Producing from the American Film Institute in 2008, also minored in Photography in addition to majoring in Film and Digital Video at UArts. “Both of those programs focused heavily on creating a base knowledge on how film works,” she says, “from how it reacts to light, how it is chemically processed, down to how to edit actual 16 millimeter film using a splicer and tape. Understanding those fundamentals has been incredibly useful throughout my career, both in visual effects and in my experience at the American Film Institute.”

She’s now hard at work on another likely blockbuster. “We’re working like crazy on ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2,’” she says. And she’s still amazed when she sits in a theater and sees for the first time a finished film she put so much into.

“I went to ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ with my parents, and when the credits rolled and my name came up, they jumped up and cheered,” she says. “It was really exciting.” 23 s t u d e n t s p e r f o r m c h i c a g o (musical theater) a r t i s t s s t u d e n t f e a t u r e d

The University of the Arts has partnered with the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) to bring a breath of fresh air to South Broad Street with the 2013 PHS Pop Up Garden.

Now in its third year, the garden opened May 20 on the University’s campus and includes the front of Hamilton Hall and the UArts-owned vacant lot across the street at 313 S. Broad Street, the centerpiece of the beautification project that houses a lush garden and a mobile beer garden.

The front of the space serves as PHS’s official Twinkling lights, welcome area, greened with trees, an elevated lawn a beer garden and food area and flowering plants, enhanced with elements by Top Chef Jose Garces’ catering group create from the PHS Philadelphia Flower Show. The back a bit of magic on of the lot hosts the beer garden with drinking and a summer’s eve. dining under a tree canopy amid twinkling market lights. Local craft beers, sangria, margaritas and root beer are on tap each evening and served along- side a selection of picnic-style menu items, light bites and desserts. UArts School of Music students and others provide special performances and programs during select afternoon hours.

In reviewing the Pop Up Garden, Philadelphia Inquirer architecture critic Inga Saffron wrote that “the pine tables give way to an ingenious amphithe- ater, carpentered from salvaged shipping pallets and softened by a mismatched riot of outdoor pillows. Thus, the detritus of consumer culture has been repurposed in the interest of civic improvement. At night, strings of sparkling lights make it feel like summer will never end.”

Also included in the Pop Up project are tree plantings in the forecourt areas to the left and right of UArts’ Hamilton Hall steps, directly across Broad Street. The greenery is a small preview of a project in the planning stages that would transform Hamilton’s walled-off courtyard areas into a 3,500 square foot urban park, to be used by the University community and the general public. The park would feature seating, paved and planted areas, lighting for evening use, and sites for temporary art installations and public performances. Wrought-iron fencing, which originally surrounded the spaces, would replace the low stone walls currently there. The project is an extension of UArts’ public art initiative, which currently includes installations on the platforms between the Hamilton Hall steps and the courtyard areas.

The PHS Pop Up Garden is open to visitors seven days a week through mid-October; it will bloom again next summer in a new location.

B u F F i n g t o n presided things I wish someone over the May 16 celebration. had told me.”

Buffington opened the ceremony by telling the 566 graduating students to “invent your own future … you get to choose—over and over again—and each time you make a choice, you make the future, your future.”

After receiving an Honorary Doctor of Fine Arts (HDFA) degree, Tony-nominated and Drama Desk-winning playwright and screenwriter D o u g l a s C a r t e r B e a n e delivered an uproarious keynote address peppered with incisive humor and wisdom.

Beane, who has two shows currently on Broadway—Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella,” which earned him a Best Book of a Musical Tony nomination, and “The Nance” starring Nathan Lane—began his speech by calling the graduates “magnificent, shining-like-chromium gorgeous bastards.” The “Sister Act” and “Xanadu” writer then thrilled the audience with his list of the “seven things I wish someone had told me” that included such revelations as “rich people have no taste,” “you have all the power” and “you are an artist,” urging them to “say it all the time in conversation, drives people nuts.”

Professor Emeritus k e n n e t h h i e B e r t , founder of the UArts Graphic Design department who served as its chair for 14 years, was also awarded an HDFA. Other honorees included Silver Star Alumni Award recipients k a t e F l a n n e r y B Fa ’ 8 7 ( a C t i n g ) , who starred for nearly a decade as Meredith on NBC’s hit comedy “The Office,” and Coogi-sweater artist J a y s o n s C o t t M u s s o n B Fa ’ 0 2 ( p h o t o g r a p h y ) , best known as his YouTube alter-ego “Hennessy Youngman.”

Flannery, who tweeted during the ceremony, “I am honoured to be @uarts in Philly commencement getting the Silver Star NOT for drinking,” also gave this Meredith-inspired advice to the soon-to-be alumni: “Don’t drink on the job.”

College of Art, Media & Design graduating senior C l a i r e k a l a l a BFa ’13 (M u l t i D i s C i - p l i n a r y F i n e a r t s ) delivered the valedictory address to her fellow classmates, telling them, “If there is one thing I would say to you … it is that above all else, I am so incredibly inspired by your ability to tell stories. To have been invited into your work to witness all of the places that you have been, the people that you have met, the iterations of the beautiful, the dark and the uncanny.”

Called “the best graduation ceremony I have ever had the honor of attending” by a parent in a letter to The Philadelphia Inquirer, the 135th Commencement also featured a stellar performance by Vocal Performance majors and the Studio Ensemble, who brought the crowd to its feet with a soulful rendition of “With a Little Help from My Friends.” Irresistible dance troupe Alo Brasil closed the ceremony by leading the new graduates and their families back down Broad Street for a post-ceremony celebration at Hamilton Hall.

When asked, “What is great art?” Gaiman replied, “Great art to me is anything that provokes a deep, emo- tional reaction at the time that you hear it and then you can’t get it out of your head … with a book, it’s that moment where you put it down and you go ‘I’m not quite the same person that I was before I read that book. I’m not the same person I was before I saw this painting.’ That for me is great art,” he said.

“I’m not sure that there is any piece of art—good, bad, mediocre, great or ridiculous—that has been made in the history of this planet that absolutely everybody would agree is great art,” he continued. “And that’s wonderful. And that actually is the magic trick that allows artists of any kind to make a living.”

We have a n i S a H a i D a R y PCA annuals for 1965 through 1969, a Foundation “yearbook” from 1980 and Owen Mc- P a u L f. H e a Ly Goldrick’s Senior Classbook of 1983. There was no yearbook or annual again until 2001, e L i S e J u S k a when former faculty member Gabriel Martinez offered the yearbook project as a credit c a T H e R i n e g u n T H e R k o D a T course; The Book (2001) was the last one. When asked why they worked on the 1968 S a R a m a c D o n a L D annual, Anne and Fran said they were on the student news staff and worked on newsletters D a n a R o D R i g u e z as well as this annual: “It was a privilege, and we did it out of respect for the faculty. We J o a n n a S u n g wanted to take the best pictures possible.” There was a precedent with the previous year- L a u R e n v i L L a n u e v a books and they loved to work on printing projects. We’re glad they did!
