A master furniture maker, designer, sculptor, and educator, Wendell challenged the art world by bridging sculpture with furniture design. Through his own words and interviews with his family, friends, and colleagues, you’ll learn about his early years as an artist, his creative process, and the vision for his work. You’ll also have the unique opportunity to see first-hand Wendell at work, as the film follows him on the creation of his “Dizzy” chair – from his original drawings to the finished work of art. It was one of the last chairs Wendell created. Major funding for Wendell Castle: A Portrait is generously provided by Nocon and Associates, a private wealth advisory practice of Ameriprise Financial Services, Incorporated. And, by the Sands Family Foundation, Waldron Rise Foundation, Lilliputian Foundation, Louise Epstein, Tom and Ebets Judson, Martin Messinger, and Mimi and Sam Tilton.

As September is upon us and a new school year lies ahead, WXXI is also proud to premiere our newest documentary about the extraordinary career of the late Wendell Castle. The designer, artist and educator continually pushed the boundaries of inventiveness, imagination and sustained innovation. Premiering Monday, September 17 at 9 p.m. on WXXI-TV, Wendell Castle: A Portrait provides an in-depth look into his art and teaching career. WXXI’s production team spent the better part of a year putting this film together. The unprecedented access and insight into his creative process makes for a fascinating hour of viewing. September also marks our biennial event – our “Open House” on September 15! That’s when we open our doors and invite the community to tour our facility, meet our news reporters and hosts, participate in family fun activities including meet-and-greets with PBS Kids characters like Cat in the Hat and Buddy the Dinosaur, and much more! This much- anticipated event helps showcase everything we do on every floor of the station – and if you’ve never attended one of our past open houses, I encourage you to spend some time getting to know the station that you help make possible. By the way – if you were among those affected by the technical problems we experienced last month with our television transmitter, thank you for your patience. Our engineers worked literally around-the-clock to resolve the problems, with additional teams coming from as far away as Kansas City. We take access to our programming seriously and regret the disruptions to over-the-air viewers. Sincerely, Norm Silverstein [email protected] | @normWXXI Q&A WITH A WXXI UNDERWRITER ROCHESTER CITY BALLET (RCB) began as a student company in 1987 and in 2004, upon the death of founder Timothy Draper, the professional company offered its first contracts. The company has grown from those first four contracts to a company of 17 dancers with a subscription series at Nazareth College, a two-production residency in Canandaigua, and annual performances of The Nutcracker with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. Executive Director Nichole Gantshar shares more. Q. What can audiences expect from the upcoming season? We open our Nazareth season with Tutus & Tango, a series of three short ballets, September 28-30th. We’ll show off the company’s range with a classical piece, Raymonda Act III, company member Benjamin Tabe’s neoclassical The Golden Hour, and Quizás, a contemporary piece by Artistic Director David Palmer to tango music. The Nutcracker NICHOLE GANTSHAR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR follows in November and December, and then Palmer’s Dangerous Liaisons in March and Sleeping Beauty in May. EVENTS Q. Typical production timeline? Conversations about a season begin two years in advance and rehearsals begin at least four weeks before a performance. When a show opens on Friday, we move into the theatre the & Sunday before and prepare all the technical elements for the show. Most productions run over a weekend, except for The Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty. Q. Favorite show? My favorite performance recently was FLEXN, a narrative ballet using FLEX dance by Peter Sellars and Regg Roc Gray at the Armory. Q. Dance performance has changed significantly over the years and people may be surprised to learn that ballet is no exception. What has the RCB done in recent years to address the evolving landscape? RCB has been known as a contemporary ballet company for many years. Actually, it’s our embrace of the classics this year – with Raymonda and Sleeping Beauty – that is new for us. Our tango ballet is a great example of expanding the ballet vocabulary.
