BY AMANDA MANITACH WHO Alice Gosti, 28-year-old dancer, choreographer, performer and filmmaker from Perugia, Italy. Gosti moved to Seattle eight years ago to study dance and film at the University of Washington. Her work is inspired by durational performance art by artists like Marina Abramovic , Doug Aitken, Matthew Barney, Gina Pane, Yves Klein and Jan Fabre. STYLE GUIDE “As a kid, most of my clothes were hand-me-downs from my brother and family friends, so I’ve always mixed and matched. I love primary colors. I think of Mondrian a lot. Nail polish helps me not chew my nails. I choose a pair of shoes only if I can run in them. Underwear is the most difficult and important item of clothing.” ARCHITECT OF EXPERIENCE Gosti calls herself a “space transformer,” a title bor- rowed from Yoko Ono. Her performance pieces consider every sensual element of the environment, manipulating temperature, taste, sound, smell and textures to evoke memories and emotions in the audience. “I am interested in eradicating the misconception of dance as an art form for the elite,” Gosti says. “I would like to move beyond the fish-tank feeling in which dancers are seen as beautiful, exotic fish.” RUNS IN THE FAMILY The child of artists (her Italian father was an architect, her American mother a graphic designer), Gosti was always the kid running around at art openings. Eventually her parents began interactive installations and perfor- mances as the artist team SANDFORD&GOSTI. “Dreamers themselves, they taught me early on to follow mine,” Gosti says. HOME IS WHERE THE ART IS Growing up bilingual, Gosti never felt like she quite belonged one place or another. “Whenever I was in Italy, I fantasized about living in the States,” she says. “When I finally moved to here, I wanted to go back. Dance and art have been about creating my own language, my own world. I wanted to create a home for myself wherever I went.” LAUREN MAX 4 ENCORE STAGES Kurt Beattie Carlo Scandiuzzi Artistic Director Executive Director ACT – A Contemporary Theatre presents Beginning August 30, 2013 Opening Night September 5, 2013 CAST *Aaron Blakely *Renata Friedman *Sarah Harlett Sarina Hart *Matthew Floyd Miller *Marianne Owen *Eric Riedmann Ray Tagavilla *Alexandra Tavares *R.

Long beard, expanded stomach, covered in the filth of the month and the clothes he wore yesterday. The cart filled with garbage that he deemed important. He stands there day and night, with no home to go to other than the tree, which provides him coverage from rain. Sometimes he can be seen smoking, sometimes he’s drinking a beer, and he always looks like he doesn’t want anything to do with you, until you say “hi.” His name was Don.

  • Van Gogh Museum Journal 2002
    Van Gogh Museum Journal 2002 bron Van Gogh Museum Journal 2002. Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam 2002 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_van012200201_01/colofon.php © 2012 dbnl / Rijksmuseum Vincent Van Gogh 7 Director's foreword In 2003 the Van Gogh Museum will have been in existence for 30 years. Our museum is thus still a relative newcomer on the international scene. Nonetheless, in this fairly short period, the Van Gogh Museum has established itself as one of the liveliest institutions of its kind, with a growing reputation for its collections, exhibitions and research programmes. The past year has been marked by particular success: the Van Gogh and Gauguin exhibition attracted record numbers of visitors to its Amsterdam venue. And in this Journal we publish our latest acquisitions, including Manet's The jetty at Boulogne-sur-mer, the first important work by this artist to enter any Dutch public collection. By a happy coincidence, our 30th anniversary coincides with the 150th of the birth of Vincent van Gogh. As we approach this milestone it seemed to us a good moment to reflect on the current state of Van Gogh studies. For this issue of the Journal we asked a number of experts to look back on the most significant developments in Van Gogh research since the last major anniversary in 1990, the centenary of the artist's death. Our authors were asked to filter a mass of published material in differing areas, from exhibition publications to writings about fakes and forgeries. To complement this, we also invited a number of specialists to write a short piece on one picture from our collection, an exercise that is intended to evoke the variety and resourcefulness of current writing on Van Gogh.

In this dissertation, I examined current models of new play development in the United States. Looking at Lincoln Center Theater and Signature Theatre, I considered major non-profit theatres that seek to create life-long connections to legendary playwrights. I studied new play development at a major regional theatre, Denver Center Theatre Company, and showed how the use of commissions contribute to its new play development program, the Colorado New Play Summit. I also examined a new model of play development that has arisen in recent years—the use of small black box theatres housed in large non-profit theatre institutions.

  • GRAM PARSONS LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie Van Varik
    GRAM PARSONS LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie van Varik. As performed in principal recordings (or demos) by or with Gram Parsons or, in the case of Gram Parsons compositions, performed by others. Gram often varied, adapted or altered the lyrics to non-Parsons compositions; those listed here are as sung by him. Gram’s birth name was Ingram Cecil Connor III. However, ‘Gram Parsons’ is used throughout this document. Following his father’s suicide, Gram’s mother Avis subsequently married Robert Parsons, whose surname Gram adopted. Born Ingram Cecil Connor III, 5th November 1946 - 19th September 1973 and credited as being the founder of modern ‘country-rock’, Gram Parsons was hugely influenced by The Everly Brothers and included a number of their songs in his live and recorded repertoire – most famously ‘Love Hurts’, a truly wonderful rendition with a young Emmylou Harris. He also recorded ‘Brand New Heartache’ and ‘Sleepless Nights’ – also the title of a posthumous album – and very early, in 1967, ‘When Will I Be Loved’. Many would attest that ‘country-rock’ kicked off with The Everly Brothers, and in the late sixties the album Roots was a key and acknowledged influence, but that is not to deny Parsons huge role in developing it. Gram Parsons is best known for his work within the country genre but he also mixed blues, folk, and rock to create what he called “Cosmic American Music”. While he was alive, Gram Parsons was a cult figure that never sold many records but influenced countless fellow musicians, from the Rolling Stones to The Byrds.
