Trinity Preparatory School • Patrons of the Arts • Spring 2015 Art is not what you see but what you make others see. Edgar Degas

FOLIO Welcome to the 13th edition of Folio, the Patrons of the Arts’ annual magazine highlighting Trinity Preparatory School’s fine arts programs and activities. From visual to performing arts, the creative efforts of our talented students are featured here.

Trinity Prep students continue to excel in every aspect of the fine arts. Our visual artists win awards of merit and best of show in art competitions. Our musicians are recognized in solo and ensemble competitions and win seats in All-State Orchestra and Chorus. Our actors are recognized with honors and awards at the district and state level thespian competitions. Our forensics team is consistently one of the most highly-ranked teams in the 1 nation. In literature, we have poetry competition winners.

But it’s not all about awards and recognition. Folio captures a glimpse of the richness and diversity of education at Trinity Prep, where the arts are equally as important as academics and sports. Through our fine arts programs, students thrive and develop their skills and passions. The extensive arts curriculum, various arts clubs, and extra-curricular arts activities provide our students with a wide array of opportunities to excel.

As you look through this publication, you will see the beauty, creativity, and personal expression of our students. Our nurturing and dedicated faculty and administration provide the foundation from which our students can explore their artistic talents. Enjoy this brief overview of the fine arts at Trinity Prep.

Now in its 18th year, Patrons of the Arts is a volunteer parent organization whose mission is to support and enhance fine arts at Trinity Prep through financial contributions and volunteer service. This past year, Patrons of the Arts approved several teachers’ requests for financial support, including additional cameras for photography, new guitars for the strings program, and funds for national forensics tournaments. We appreciate our Patrons members for the many, many hours of volunteering they have contributed throughout the year in support of the arts programs at our school, including, but not limited to, putting on the annual holiday art bazaar, decorating the stage for holiday concerts, displaying student artwork around the campus, and hosting receptions after fine arts programs. In 3 addition, POA was pleased to sponsor several master classes and workshops by artists including Rachel Potter, an actress and singer/songwriter who has performed on Broadway, and Brian Slawson, a Grammy- nominated percussionist.

In April, we inducted two Trinity Prep alumni into the Arts Hall of Fame: Sarah Ali ‘91 (visual art) and Julia Clift ’05 (visual art). Also, we hosted two social events for our members that supported school arts programs: the Fall Frolic and a spring musical reception.

We would like to thank Amy Dunleavy for her talent and countless hours of dedication to put this publication together for all of us to enjoy. Folio is a wonderful arts yearbook to remind us how the arts touch us all.

Finally, thank you to all of our Patrons of the Arts members. Everything we do for the students is made possible by your support. We look forward to many more years of supporting our talented, energetic, and creative arts students and teachers! A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR Thank you to all the teachers, students, and parents who contributed their time and photos in order to create the 2014–15 edition of Folio. Thanks very much to Danielle Pomeranz at Jellybean Creations for the beautiful design of the book. I am especially grateful to POA co-Presidents Martha Christopher and Debbie Balaschak and Shana Heinricy, Trinity Prep director of marketing and communications, for their support and encouragement during the year. A Message from FINE ARTS CHAIR “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm,” said Ralph Waldo Emerson. As the fine arts chair, I witness enthusiasm daily. Enthusiastic teachers plan their lessons and projects, stimulating and encouraging their students to create, challenging them to break down walls and think “out of the box.” Enthusiastic students discover their own talents, follow their passions, and become who they are meant to be. Enthusiastic parents bring their children to us, trusting that we will inspire, mentor, and help to instill in their offspring the seeds to fully bloom. Ultimately we all – teachers, students, and parents - work collectively in that enthusiastic spirit. The results are tremendous. Wonderful happenings occur here throughout the year. The publication that you are holding in your hand is a documentation of the many ways that the students show their enthusiasm for the creative experience. The visual art, the concerts, the productions, the festivals, and tournaments are all proof of the enthusiasm that exists here. Now I need to explain why I have used the word enthusiasm over and over again. The source of the word is the Greek enthousiasmos, which comes from the adjective entheos, “having the god within,” formed from en, “in, within,” and theos, “god.” So the definition of enthusiasm is to be filled with God. God is the ultimate creator, and we have been blessed with the ability to be creators ourselves. Time and time again I have said I am honored to be at a school that has such a wonderful appreciation and enthusiasm for the arts. My wish for our students is that they continue to increase their enthusiasm while in school and then bring it out to the world when they leave here. Because, as Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Nothing great was ever achieved without 4 enthusiasm.” I believe our students, being filled with God, have what it takes to achieve and accomplish many great things in their lifetime. Janine Papin

HEADMASTER’S Message An education in the fine arts helps students learn to solve problems, express their creativity, communicate through many different media, develop as leaders, and much more. In addition to extracurricular options, Trinity Prep offers courses in seven areas: forensics, instrumental music, vocal music, art, theater, photography, and humanities. During this school year, 22 upper school students became the inaugural inductees into Trinity Prep’s chapter of the National Arts Honors Society. Our fine arts facilities include an 802-seat theater, three art studios, two music rooms, two sound- proof rooms, a photography lab, and a publication room, with the Freitag & Falk Theater in the new Brokaw Hall. I am grateful to the Patrons of the Arts for their support for all of our fine arts endeavors. I appreciate the many hours spent by Patrons enhancing the fine arts opportunities for our students.

Sarah Ali’s entry into the world of art was one which found her and actually almost saved her. Born into a very well- respected family and the product of two physicians, education was not only encouraged, but it was expected. She is a married mother of three children. However, her story does not end here. When Sarah was diagnosed with Lupus, she fell into a severe depression.

Jamali, her uncle and one of the most respected contemporary artists of today, encouraged her to pick up a brush 10 and paint, so she could meditate and bring up euphoric feelings that she rarely experienced. She fell in love with it and began to start her career in the fine arts. Sarah’s work, where she paints on cork, is shown in various galleries across the country, including the Art in Chambers exhibit here in Winter Park, Florida. In her paintings, one can see and attempt to feel what she feels, whether it be the pain due to her disease or bright beautiful colors on a good day. The tranquil, soothing feeling is what she aims to achieve, and she has been creating beautiful art ever since. Whatever the day brings, now she can deal with it in a whole new light.

Awards: Named as a top emerging artist by “Art Business News” in 2012 Recognized by Baterbys Art Auction Gallery as a 2012 Best Florida Artist Julia Clift is a Philadelphia-based artist, writer, former student of Irina Ashcraft, and educator. After receiving her bachelor’s degree in fine arts in painting and English literature from Washington University in St. Louis, she studied under the painter Odd Nerdrum in both Norway and France. Her paintings and drawings have been featured in many exhibits across the nation. She currently teaches at Rose Tree Media Academy, a non-traditional high school in Delaware County, and at Fleisher Art Memorial in Philadelphia. She also teaches observational drawing skills to medical students at Jefferson University. Her impressive critical essays and reviews can be found in Title Magazine and The Huffington Post.

Julia’s paintings and drawings utilize realism, abstraction, and invention. Her work is inspired by the fluid relationship between physical place and a person’s mental landscape.

Julia maintains a long-term portraiture series that focuses on the broad spectrum of female identity called “Real Woman.” Her dream-like paintings of interior environments describe her own enigmatic experiences of daily reality. Her newest body of work comprises small plein air landscapes, ranging from the size of postcards to post- it notes. In these paintings, each brushstroke reflects an act of communion between mind and hand; each landscape conveys the emotions inflicted by the place.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is presented through an exclusive arrangement with R & H Theatricals and The Really Useful Group Limited. 5700 Trinity Prep Lane • Winter Park, FL 32792 • trinityprep.org

Director’s Notes Students come to the all-school musical with a variety of skills and talents. Some are “well-seasoned,” with experience performing, dancing, singing, and/or reading music. For others, this is their first time on any stage, and they may have been unaware of how much time and dedication it requires to grow as a performer. Students must make sacrifices in order for the production to come together, committing to attend the rehearsals and learn the choreography, blocking, songs, and lines. Tribulations, like an onslaught of colds, attempted to throw us off course, but we persevered! I hope everyone grew and learned from this process and had fun along the way.

Actors are storytellers, and the story you are about to see is a very old, well-known Bible story. Whether you are familiar with Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, or whether this is your first experience with the show, I hope that the familiar story comes alive with energy, enthusiasm, and passion. I want to thank everyone connected with the show, especially the great production team that adds so much to the quality of production that we enjoy at Trinity Prep. Patrick Nugent, Peter Sorrel, Jon Whiteley, Heather Sladick, Susanne Sacks, Chelsea Sorensen, and Chris Pisarski, your talents are so appreciated. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your time and talents. And now, enjoy the show!

Director’s Notes Welcome to the first show of the Trinity Prep theater season! We have an exciting year of shows waiting for you. Into the Woods, which we will produce in April, is one of my favorites, as is Harvey. As a teenager I grew up hopelessly in love with Jimmy Stewart, whom many people associate with the role of Elwood P. Dowd. I think there are many reasons we root for Elwood. We wish we knew him, and we wish we had a friend as loyal and as pleasant as he. For that matter, we wish we WERE him, to be seemingly unencumbered by the stresses of life, creating a wake of joy and self-esteem that the strangers we meet are washed in. But outside of Elwood’s seemingly inexhaustible supply of kindness and reason, there is another elusive quality he possesses. He believes in the possibility of magic, and magic in turn seeks him out. I think we can all be capable of Elwood’s brand of magic: a simple kind word to a stranger; an ability to overlook the flaws and hostility of others; the choice to be pleasant to people instead of being right. I know watching Elwood every day for weeks now has made me think about how I deal with others. Hopefully you, too, take a little Elwood away with you. Thank you to my cast and crew who are so generous with their hearts; thank you to Patrons, all the parents, and especially Janine Papin for your generosity of time and support.

Director’s Notes It is Monday, March 2nd. I am writing my director’s notes. I have two pervasive thoughts about the show. One thought is how proud and impressed I am with the cast. The second thought is a gnawing fear about how many of them will actually make it to the show. Let’s start with that thought. Sitting here at noon, I just received my third email of the day from a cast member who is signing out sick. Flu and illness have wiped out roughly ten percent of the school’s attendance the past few days, and my cast have not been immune. You may see people on stage tonight holding a script—this means they are filling in as understudies. They may have not even had a chance to rehearse the role they are reading for. Please, show them your support. Which brings me to my second thought, which is how amazing these students are, and how proud and lucky I am to have worked with them. I have roughly 20 students on stage who are trying theater for the first time at TPS. They have all been hard workers, proactive and responsible, willing to jump in and fill the duties of missing cast members; and as I mentioned, the number of missing cast members these past two weeks has been substantial. The cast members who have made it to rehearsal have been patient and perseverant. I also think they are quite funny, and their level of proficiency with a difficult text is awesome to watch. Thank you to my cast and crew who are so generous with their talent and dedication; thank you to Patrons; thank you to all the parents; and thank you to Janine Papin for your generosity of time and support.

Director’s Notes Welcome to Beauty of the Century. It has been my goal each year to accept all the middle school students that audition into the play. Finding pieces that have just the right number of parts for the number of students sometimes can be a bit tricky. In addition, I have always tried to find a piece of theater that has its origins in literature so that the connections can be made from a story on the page to a story that comes to life on the stage. This play, with its creatures from mythology, literature, and fiction, allowed us to find out the many stories surrounding the “characters” in this play. We have all been enlightened by our research.

The students you see before you come from so many theatrical backgrounds: some have had stage experiences before, and some have not. The ones with experience blaze a trail and set a good example for the ones that are new. The rehearsal process for any show is always a journey that the cast takes together. There are always obstacles to overcome: schedule conflicts, illnesses, absences, stage availability or lack of availability, and the list goes on. But somehow we always persist, and not only do we arrive at opening night, but many lessons are learned along the way. Most important, I hope that everyone has learned that we are a team and that we need to rely on and support one another for a true sense of community to flourish. Thank you for your support and for being here in Beauty of the Century the audience.

Director’s Notes Welcome to Into the Woods! This show comes out of my high school musical theater class. I am so incredibly proud of the students. They have worked all semester, not only to master the incredibly difficult Sondheim music, but to become fabulous story tellers. They have developed their characters and built relationships to the other characters in the story. But there is so much more than that! The relationships built during the rehearsal process exist not only on the stage, through the characters they are portraying, but off stage as well. Doing a show together creates a special bond that is hard to describe. These kids learn to depend on, support, encourage, lift up, and celebrate each other. I observe growth in my students almost daily as they take risks and develop the confidence they need to succeed as performers and as adults. This is the second time I have directed Into the Woods for the Trinity Prep stage. It is the only show I have repeated in my 15 years here. The first time I did it was in 2007. From the cast that I had at that time, one just made her Broadway debut in Matilda a couple of weeks ago, one recently starred in the Broadway National tour of Book of Mormon, two are in L.A. working in the film world, one is a professional dancer working with a dance company, and I could go on and on. We were blessed with talented students then, and we continue to be now. I know that many of the students you are about to see in this production will be stars on the stage in the future. I am blessed and honored to mentor and work with so many student artists at this school. And now to the show. Into the Woods brings up so many thought-provoking questions. Our class has enjoyed discussing the many moral and social issues that this musical deals with: Blame, prejudice, revenge, consequence of actions, dissatisfaction with what you have, the cyclical nature of events, and the list goes on. It is meaty stuff. Oscar Wilde said: There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it. Spoiler alert… Act one ends with almost everyone getting what they want. Act two brings up the consequences that come from actions that were taken to get those desired things. Certainly we must be careful with our own actions that we don’t cause harm to others. And of course, my favorite lesson from this show is in this song…

Careful the things you say | Children will listen | Careful the things you do | Children will see and learn | Children may not obey, but children will listen | Children will look to you for which way to turn | To learn what to be | Careful before you say “Listen to me” | Children will listen Thank you for being here, and enjoy the show!
