eave it to David Catlin to upstage the Bard. Last summer at Northwestern, 1 2 Lthe theatre lecturer and alumnus staged A Midsummer Night’s Daydream, an adaptation of Shakespeare’s famous comedy. The mischief, fairies, and plotlines remained, but Catlin (C88) condensed and borrowed dialogue and sprinkled in new characters, songs, and a literal ﬂip in look. Borrowing from the bold, acrobatic style of Chicago’s Lookingglass Theatre Company (which 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Spring quarter Catlin and his classmates cofounded), our undergraduate actors took to the classes end skies and tumbled to the ground to tell the tale.

“We founded Lookingglass on many of the same core principles that we 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 learned as students here—collaboration, theatrical innovation, and a story- Flag Day centric creative process,” says Catlin. “Along with a profound love of language, Ramadan ends at sundown we incorporate kinesthetic movement, visceral circus, and cine matic visual storytelling to more fully engage our audiences.” 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 Father’s Day Commencement, School of Communication Catlin’s vision was choreographed, rehearsed, and perfected in a new black 9:30 a.m. convocations, 1:30 & 5 p.m. box theater in the enhanced Virginia Wadsworth Wirtz Center for the Perform- ing Arts.

odd Rosenthal has a confession: he gets nervous about Chekhov. “It feels 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Tprecious, like it’s behind glass,” he says, “like it’s not real.” Independence Day The Tony Award–winning set designer and professor of theatre experienced what can only be described as a breakthrough with his work last winter on Uncle Vanya at Chicago’s Goodman Theatre. Breathtaking in scale and detail, 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Rosenthal’s set paid painstaking attention to stylistic value and to the circum- stances keeping the characters in just one room of the vast estate at the center of the story. “Not real” was not an issue.

Rosenthal was inspired by Havana, a book of photographs of the Cuban capital 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 by Robert Polidori. “There’s this incredible sense of former splendor,” says Rosenthal, noting that one image in particular projected just the mood he desired for Vanya. The resulting set’s faded green walls and mismatched furni- ture (and even the odd piece of farming equipment) evoked a vanishing world. 22 23 24 25 26 27 28

With a career as vast and accomplished as his, Rosenthal now has a quick sense of what will and won’t work on stage; the concept behind Uncle Vanya came swiftly and organically. When artists and students approach him with 29 30 31 abstract concepts or feelings they want to represent, Rosenthal’s advice is often to “just do that.” As he says, “When you have an idea, however ‘out there,’ sometimes putting that on stage is the right choice.”

Atlantic: A Scottish Story and Atlantic: America 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 and the Great War were written by alumni and directed by faculty of the Conser- vatoire and Northwestern. It was an exciting international riff on the model developed by AMTP, which develops new musicals by emerging writers through workshops featuring Northwestern students and professional actors. 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 Eight-week Summer “Students from both institutions received music theatre technique training, Session ends participated in developmental workshops with the writers, and originated roles for two new musicals that premiered at the largest theatre festival in the world,” says AMTP producing director Brannon Bowers (C15). “Moreover, three recent 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 alumni had the opportunity to write and premiere their work there, creating their own international proﬁles as music theatre writers and establishing Northwestern as a destination for music theatre writing education.” 26 27 28 29 30 31 The critically acclaimed shows depict two sisters separated by the ocean at the start of World War I.

zge Samanci’s latest interactive art installation allows participants 1 2 3 4 5 6 Oto control a digitally simulated ocean using only their brainwaves. Calm seas and storms alike are powered by the viewer’s thoughts; the sheer act of concentration can conjure a squall or sunshine.

Henry’s past films have screened at Sundance and Cannes, but with Rogers Park the associate professor of radio/ television/film ventured far from his comfort zone to spotlight a place close to his heart. The film centers on two couples in the eponymous Chicago neighbor- hood who are wading through the messiness of middle age—the “second 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Hanukkah begins Fall quarter great coming-of-age,” as Henry puts it.
