  • Imes I Wonder What "Wrang with Me. I Keep Hearing People Soy That They Have Changed Jobs Because Five Or Ten Years in a Job Is Enough
    BROOKLYN ACADEMY OF MUSIC Letter from the President ~imes I wonder what "wrang with me. I keep hearing people soy that they have changed jobs because five or ten years in a job is enough. And here I am after 25 years, still at it, and still, for the most part, enjoying the ride. BAM has changed over the years and yet remains steadily on course. The outpouring of new work by some of our "old-timers" and by young, developing artists trying their wings, and the pursuit of several new initiatives, plus the stimulation of my BAM colleagues, have managed to keep me (or part of me) virgin, available and interested. The first major attraction of my initial season at BAM was Sarah Caldwell's newly formed American National Opera Company, which featured the first staged production in New York of Alban Berg's LULU. The next season, in 1968, had the return of The living Theater in four productions new to New York. In 1969, we introduced Jerzy Grotowski's Polish laboratory Theatre in three productions, and also Twyla Tharp's company on the Opera House stage, with the audience also onstage, seated on three sides. Robert Wilson's LIFE AND TIMES OF SIGMUND FREUD also appeared at BAM in 1969. What is the point of view that informed those early years and that is still operative today? It may seem to be contemporary work by artists outside the mainstream. I think it is deeper and more inclusive than that. For me, it is the application of a critical approach informed by a contemporary sensibility, to what is being produced for the stage today.
