Harry and the Dinosaurs--a WIP

Some of you, especially if you grew up across the pond, may remember this book series. It was about a young boy who went on lighthearted adventures with his bucket of toy dinosaur friends. It was known as Sammy and the Dinosaurs in America, but it never really took off there.

Some of you may also know of the cartoon the book series was adapted into. It took a similar tack to the books, but it reduced the dinosaurs down to a six recognizable characters. It also introduced a place called "Dino World," a bright, colorful location which had whatever Harry and his dino pals wanted or needed. They usually accessed it by jumping into the bucket.

What some of you may not know is that Ian Whybrow, the author, decided to make a spinoff of his book series aimed at older readers. Titled simply Harry and the Dinosaurs, it featured the adventures of an older Harry solving mysteries with both his human and dinosaur friends. The dinosaurs, like Harry, grew with the audience, appearing this time not as toys, but as plastic cards on Harry's key ring. They were also much bigger, scarier, and more realistic than they were before.

It got me thinking: what if the makers of the cartoon had decided to follow the same path? What I mean is, what if they had made a spinoff of the Harry series for older kids?

That's what this WIP is going to be about. It's going to explore what an adaptation of the older Harry and the Dinosaurs series might be like. I'll be making more posts about this at some point.

Nuart Journal – #1 Space is the Place

“Nuart Journal is a forum for critical commentary on urban art, defined as broadly as possible to include all aspects of both independently sanctioned and unsanctioned art in public space that does not fall under the general rubric of traditional public art practice. Nuart Journal includes traditional peer-reviewed academic papers as well as more experimental modes of research. It is a site for scholars, artists, curators and independent researchers to publish articles, conversations, reviews, projects, and opinion pieces on street art and related topics.”

Current critical and academic debates on graffiti can occasionally be found in magazines and more frequently in books from the scene, usually framed by traditional content of these kind of publications: a whole lot of photos. For example with the German “Zugriff” magazine the shift from focusing on photographic content to high-quality scientific articles was successfully made first in 2013.

Just like the mentioned forerunner, the new Nuart Journal from Norway does not exclusively pay attention to graffiti, but does also include urban art, street art and other similar art forms as its main topic. On 112 pages the 2018 Journal functions as a peer-reviewed forum to publish texts, essays, theories, etc. from international authors often with an academic background. The first issue is separated into three main parts:

I. Original articles • Subversive weeds: Bio-activist strategies in urban interventions by Christel Pedersen • Street art, graffiti and the moral right of integrity: Can artists oppose the destruction and removal of their works? By Enrico Bonadio • Street art and photography: Documentation, representation, interpretation by Ulrich Blanché • Heritage protection for street art? The case of Banksy’s Spybooth by Susan Hansen

II. Experimental and visual essays • From Peterhof Station to Crescenzago: Agit-Trains and Grifter’s Code by Lachlan MacDowall • Blunting broken windows: Rio de Janeiro’s Olympic dreams by Raphael Soifer • Unexpected beauty in urban decay by Jonna Tolonen • Kurskaya Wall by Oleg Kuznetsov

III. Interviews and talks • Aesthetic destruction: At home with Ian Strange by Jan Zahl • Art in the streets: Place, genre and encounter by Alison Young • Sticking it to the Man: The visual activism of Dr. D by Adrian Burnham • Turning the white cube inside out by Pietro Rivasi and Andrea Baldini • The future of art is urban by Nicolas Whybrow

Now available at Hitzerot.

Sleep No More Shanghai - Final Thoughts

Some final thoughts on Sleep No More Shanghai. There will be some minor spoilers.

I saw the show 34 times, over five visits from NYC from Dec 2016 to Oct 2017.

My initial thoughts on the show are posted here and highlights of my favorite performers are here.

I have to be honest, the show lost a lot of magic for me after the first cast change. There are some great new performers, but the original cast was INCREDIBLE. It brought together many of the best performers ever to work with Punchdrunk.

It was particularly magical because many of the performers were in The Drowned Man, and of course you know me - anything that reminds me of  Drowned Man makes me happy. (I wouldn't be the @sleepnomoreboston of Drowned Man; my heart warms at the thought of it living on in any form.)

But it's not just the nostalgia - it's that Drowned Man had a particular performance style that was all about developing interesting characters and engaging the audience. Building in little interactions and moments throughout the loop, recognizing audience members who'd been following a while - and developing the characters with complex motivations, dialogue, and humor. And with many performers having worked together before, and with weeks before opening to rehearse together, the chemistry between cast members was absolutely off the charts when the show opened.

Since the cast change, I feel the loss of those performers, and that original chemistry. Miranda Mac Letten and Laure Bachelot as Sexy Witch. Omar Gordon & Fred Gehrig as Cunning Man. The extraordinary chemistry between Fania, Miranda, and Olly as the witches. Fania as Bald and Omar as Banquo. I could go on and on.

That said, of course cast changes are inevitable, of course new performers will come in and many of them will eventually become the next generation of "great performers." 

So - final thoughts -

I was lucky enough to see Paul Zivkovich as Macbeth. Having seen Paul as Macbeth many times in New York, it highlighted for me the differences in the Macbeth loop in Shanghai. The Shanghai Macbeth is SCARY. Scarier than in New York, more deranged.

In New York the Walled Garden solo is contemplative, Macbeth wrestling with the nature of his own soul, and sorrowful, foreshadowing his fall from grace and his death. In Shanghai it's still beautiful, but it's also explicit that in his internal struggle the dark side of Macbeth has won. The Walled Garden is right outside Duncan's room, so Macbeth peers in, creeps in through Duncan's room, lingers over the bed, malicious. It’s not just a philosophical struggle between good and evil; it is a premeditated decision to murder another human being.

The other reason the Macbeths seem worse in Shanghai is Duncan. In New York, Duncan is a symbol. Regal. Distant. I never really care when he dies; my heart doesn't start to break until Banquo and Lady Macduff.

But in Shanghai, Sam Booth's Duncan is a stunning reinvention of the character. He's still a symbol - as every character is - but he's also human. He's *specific* and idiosyncratic. He sings to himself, and dreams, and has moods and fears.

He's terrified not just of his own death but of age, of irrelevance. He's conflicted towards his son, proud and yet full of dread that Malcolm will one day replace him. He latches on to Lady Macbeth because she makes him feel youthful, alive in the face of the looming death he fears. He's flawed; he thrills at the prospect of an affair with his host's wife. 

Sam's performance highlights the man beneath the regal symbolism of the character. The fragility of his humanity, as he stumbles up the stairs singing, as he struggles to remove his jacket under the influence of the drug. As he dreams of kissing the woman who's sent him to his death.

He becomes a symbol, not just of "the king," but of regrets and lost possibilities.

A few other thoughts:

For my final visit I didn't get to see Andrea Carruciu at all. But thankfully I did see him for a final time in August and was as impressed as before with the quality of his performances as both Macbeth and Porter. Two of the most complex roles - and so different from each other - for someone new to Punchdrunk to pull them off as well as Andrea is an exceptional feat.

I love the Bride as a character, and the performances of both Tang Tingting and Debbie/Wen Hsin Lee who originated her.

I love watching Speakeasy Barman play pool with the audience. I’m delighted with how much fun Olly is in that role.

I love that Witches 1 has such a huge space to flow through, how beautiful it is with an unobstructed view and a high ceiling. 

I love every single thing about the Dragon Boat scene. How epic and emotional and eerie and dark it is. It feels like Drowned Man, like Twin Peaks, like that video of Faust that’s floating around. It’s completely new to Sleep No More yet fits and complements everything about it.

I love Witches 8, obviously.

I love the gorgeous film noir lighting in the speakeasy, and the layout so that you can see many more angles on the Macbeth/Banquo fight. If you stand in the right place you can see the expressions on their faces up close in ways that are impossible to see in New York. 

I am super impressed with Garth Johnson, whose improvisations are clever and full of characterization. I was thrilled when his Porter made up for the lack of mirror behind the lobby desk by finding his reflection in the top of the lobby desk itself. 

I was thrilled also with Ian Garside’s Porter, who was full of sorrow yet also amusing and sweet. He performed his 1:1 with an emotional narrative that I’ve not quite seen before, and loved very much.

(Overall the Portering in Shanghai is A++).

Although I miss Omar & Fred I still love that Cunning Man is such a distinctive, devious character in Shanghai.

I love the expanded use of the Macduff child's mirrored bedroom. Multiple scenes and 1:1s happen in there, making sure that far more of the audience notices what is certainly one of the most chilling and heartbreaking sets that Punchdrunk has created.

I love the little passageway into the crib room, and the scene over the cradle with the tiny lights. Eerie and beautiful. The beauty of the set in Shanghai is extraordinary.

I didn't get to see Austin Goodwin's Boy Witch, Conor Doyle's Porter, or Paul Zivkovich's Porter, all of which have been popping up recently. That's Punchdrunk, of course. Get used to disappointment.

I understand they need flexibility in the cast schedule, that many of the people I want to see are swings who wouldn’t be on the regular schedule anyway, that Punchdrunk’s long-running show model depends on the audience not getting attached to particular performers in particular roles. But of course we get attached anyway. A great performance can be life-changing. The performers are not interchangeable.

Ed Warner is my great regret of Sleep No More Shanghai. I did not see him perform at all on my final visit, and saw him only once before, as Banquo. His Banquo was exceptional (best Banquo 1:1 I've ever had) but I would have loved to see him as Husband or Cunning Man.

I wanted to see him as Husband because I have not yet seen a fully convincing performance of Husband, and I think Ed would convince me. He can capture vulnerability like no one else. The best Husband I've seen is Ben Whybrow, who is an extraordinary actor (I wish I'd seen his one man show in London) - his 1:1 moved me to tears both times I saw it - but he also projects competence, self-confidence, a sense of emotional remove, a sturdiness. That doesn’t work quite right for the Husband character - he should be very young, very naive - a character whose primary function is to be manipulated by Cunning Man and (in a way) Bride.

Your heart should be breaking for him, but with Ben I wonder why he falls for it. He seems like he should know better. But I think Ed - based entirely on that Miguel 1:1 where his eyes were brimming with tears and I STILL remember every moment of it like it was yesterday - he could project the vulnerability in such a way that I would never question it. I would feel the tragedy of the character, and the longing for love that drives him; he'd have my complete sympathy, without my doubts.

But I'll never see it. Sigh.

Oh and Cunning Man because... I don't know, it's just a funny character in Shanghai, and I'm super curious as to what he'd do with it. It's the opposite of Husband, an archetype I've not seen Ed play - how would he handle it? I’ll never know.

Anyway. I am, in general, running out of things to say about Sleep No More, in any form. Six and a half years is a long time to be active in a fandom, especially one as physically and financially exhausting as this one. I’m taking a break for a while, but I’m sure you’ll see me around.

Pearson and Booktrust Announce 2012 Booktime Titles for Annual Free Books Programme

(3BL Media) May 3, 2012 – Booktrust and Pearson today announce the new titles for Booktime, which will give two free books to every child starting school in England and Wales in the 2012-13 school year. This year’s books for children in England are The Tale of a Naughty Little Rabbit, published by Frederick Warne &Co., an imprint of Penguin Children’s, and Tim’s Din, from the Phonics Bug series by Pearson UK, part of Pearson’s education business. 4-5 year olds in Wales will receive The Tale of a Naughty Little Rabbit as well as a Welsh language title, to be announced this summer.

725,000 children aged 4-5 will receive a free book pack in their first year of primary school, each pack containing two books to keep. In total 1.45 million books will be given to reception-aged children through Booktime, which aims to inspire a lifelong love of reading by encouraging families to have fun reading together. Each free book pack is a timely reminder of the continuing importance of sharing stories with children even when they have started school.

This will be the first time the free books programme has delivered books to every 4-5 year old in Wales, after a successful Booktime pilot in Bridgend and Wrexham. Thanks to a partnership between Pearson, Booktrust and the Welsh Government, 35,000 children in Wales’ Foundation Phase will receive a free Booktime book bag in the 2012-13 school year.

The Tale of a Naughty Little Rabbit is a playful and funny retelling of Beatrix Potter’s original story The Tale of Peter Rabbit. It is a special anniversary edition to mark 110 years since Frederick Warne first published the original tale. Through Booktime, this lovely picture book will introduce a new generation of readers to the escapades of Britain’s most famous rabbit. Families all over England and Wales will be joining in with Peter Rabbit’s 110th birthday celebrations by sharing this very special story.

In England, Booktime packs will also contain a book for children to support them on their reading journey, from Pearson UK. Tim’s Din, written by Monica Hughes and illustrated by Bill Ledger,is a lively and entertaining story about the mischief that little monkeys can get up to when they’re bored. With simple rhyming text and expressive illustrations, Tim’s Din gives children the chance to try telling a fun and simple story themselves.

Peter Hughes, head of corporate responsibility at Pearson, said:

‘One of the greatest gifts that we can give the next generation is a passion for reading. Books open doors to new worlds as well as help explain the world in which we live. Good reading skills are the basic building block that is essential for all of us to learn and to progress through our lives. It is also never too early to inspire a passion for reading. We and Booktrust hope that the gift of the Booktime books will provide another way for families, teachers, librarians across England and now Wales as well as the Pearson Booktime volunteers to help hook the next generation of kids on reading.’

Viv Bird, Chief Executive of Booktrust, said:

‘Booktime is bringing two exciting books to over 700,000 homes this year, thanks to the partnership between Booktrust and Pearson. This year’s book pack for England combines the timeless appeal of Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit with the modern, computer generated artwork of Tim’s Din – and we await the selection of the Welsh language title with great anticipation.We know that all families will find something to love in their two free books, and that they will enjoy lots of laughter and surprises as they share the stories over and over again.’

The inclusion of The Tale of a Naughty Little Rabbit in this year’s Booktime pack is a highlight of a year-long celebration of Peter Rabbit’s 110th anniversary. Other elements of the year include the September publication of the brand new 24th tale: The Further Tale of Peter Rabbit by Oscar-winning actress and screen writer Emma Thompson, the launch of an exciting new Peter Rabbit website and special anniversary publishing including the release of all 23 Original Tales in coloured editions. In addition, ‘Happy Birthday Peter Rabbit’ events will be taking place throughout the year including Peter Rabbit appearances at Hay, Edinburgh, Bath and Cheltenham Literature Festivals. A brand new Peter Rabbit animation is also scheduled for 2012/2013.

Francesca Dow, Managing Director, Penguin Children’s said:

‘Encouraging a lifelong love of reading is a fundamental part of what we do at Penguin Children’s and it is so exciting that through Booktime, we are able to reach so many children and enable them and their families to share in the joy of reading. Beatrix Potter was a wonderful storyteller – so good that 110 years later, her naughty little rabbit is still with us, and The Tale of Peter Rabbit can be enjoyed by a new generation of readers through this very special retelling. I hope these books will inspire many hours of mischievous fun and laughter for children across England and Wales.’

Booktime will be supported by a range of downloads and games on the website: www.booktime.org.uk

SNM Shanghai 09/02/2017 7pm(83rd visit)

Macbeth: Olly Hornsby-Sayer Lady Macbeth: Camilla Brogard Macduff: Gao Yang Lady Macduff: Hsu Hui-ting Duncan: Ian Garside Malcolm: Daniel Nicolson Banquo: Wang Mingchao Boy Witch: Garth Johnson Bald Witch: Jiang Yuli Sexy Witch: Ingrid Kapteyn Hecate: Fania Grigoriou Porter: Andrea Carrucciu Agnes Naismith: Xu Xinwen Danvers: Dai Shaoting Speakeasy: Chris Jäger Cunning man: John Ross Taxi: Sam Booth Bride: Lee Wen Hsin (Debby) Husband: Ben Whybrow Matron: Tang Tingting Nurse: Chen Yi’an James: Du Yanhao Man in Bar (Calloway) : Liu Yu Woman in Bar (Constance) : Shenni

Ian Garside is Duncan, yeah. Ian always gives me a Duncan vibe, at least more than Simon, so I was always wondering why he was not Duncan. This is the first time I saw him as Duncan so I decided to follow him. When I first got out, I actually was planning to follow Ben and Debby as they were so sweet on the high street. When they went up for the wedding and passed Sam’s Taxi, Sam said “congratulations!”, and the whole scene is just so sweet. But it is so rare for me to catch Ian’s Duncan and I have just followed Debby the day before, so off with Ian.

Ian’s Duncan is solid. I am a bit disappointed with his rebirth, as again, Sam, Fred and EJB would play with the thunder sound, but both Ian and Simon just ignored that. The scene in the pray room also lacks emotion yet overall, his performance is fine. i can’t compare him with Sam, the king of McKinnon, and I am very biased when it comes to Fred. Since I don’t know how good he is in his 1-1, I will rank him close to Simon, especially after I saw his performance in bar.

Then I went back to Gao Yang. There are those performers I have a terrific connection with and those i just respect. Granted I never have any 1-1s or interactions from him, but it does not stop me from considering him as one of the best local performers here. When I was following Ian’s Duncan, I detected Gao’s hand injury. It is weird that after watching the show for many times, I can pay attention to those subtle details, so when Gao touched his hand unconsciously, I just felt terrible. We are talking about a young artist’s professional career here, and for him to do Macduff, a dance-intensive role while he is this injured, that is professionalism. Every solo he did is incredible especially considering his injury and I hope he can turn it off a bit as he should not risk his professional life. Just by showing up, it is enough. I certainly would hope there can be enough performers so all those got injured can rest yet this is not the case here. With how aggressive people are these days, more and more performers are injured. I have witnessed an injured Ed playing Banquo, and now an injured Gao playing Macduff. They have my highest respect. I suppose the show can not figure out a way to deal with this issue (I honestly don’t think they have enough performers to cover all those injured), but at least they should be able to figure out a way to stop people lining up in the bar 30 minutes prior to the show. Actually to make it worse, we no longer can see man in bar or woman in bar greeting us in the bar, so I guess people have nothing better to do than lining up. I would not complain any guests acting the way they do and lining up to try to get into the first elevator as they have all the rights to do so, but I do believe Punchdrunk or the production team of this show need to think about some counter-measure so this show would not become an “amusement park”.

Early

Macbeth: Ian Garside   Lady Macbeth: Emily Terndrup Macduff: Gao Yang Lady Macduff: Chen Yi’an Duncan: Sam Booth Malcolm: Ben Whybrow Banquo: Huang Hsiao-che Boy Witch: Chris Jäger Bald Witch: Fania Grigoriou Sexy Witch: Dai Shaoting Hecate: Shen Ni Porter: Garth Johnson Agnes Naismith: Lee Wen Hsin Danvers: Camilla Brogard Speakeasy: Du Yanhao  Cunning man: Simon Palmer Taxi: Daniel Nicolson Bride: Ingrid Kaptyen Husband: Chiang Paosu Matron: Jiang Yuli Nurse: Daisy Cauty  Anna: Hsu Hui-ting Man in Bar (Calloway) : Liu Yu Man in Bar (Louis) :  Zhang Lu

I walked in today with a heavy heart knowing this was highly likely my last time to see many of my favorite residents. It was a night all about the goodbyes as I couldn’t be there for their last show on next day for some personal reasons.

I started my farewell loop with the Macbeths:Emily and Ian. It was worth fighting the crowd to catch them because with these two dedicated performers, every single scene was just perfect. It was a pity I didn’t spend enough time with them but I guess I have no more chance to see this cast combination again.

Of course I spend the rest of the show with Fania’s Bald Witch. I had to follow her for two loops to say goodbye as she is my favorite bald, and she’ll always be. Whether I was following her or not, I got fascinated by Fania every time when I pay a visit to the hotel. I could never spare my attention when she was around. Her power, her strength, her beauty, her controlling, her witchy smile, her firm eyes, her dance moves... I could go on and on. My heart is full of gratefulness for every moment I spent with her in the hotel and at this point, all that’s left for me to say is thank you. Thank you Fania for putting your heart and soul into this show, it would never be the same without you.

I also skipped some scenes to catch the Dragon Boat for twice as Ingrid was the Bride. I knew this would be difficult but I have to go see her one last time. And Ingrid’s taking on this role will always hold a special place in my heart.

It was a long long night even though I didn’t go to the evening show for double, but I did go to the Manderley Bar for a glass of hot wine. I got emotional seeing the residents walked out from the hotel when sitting in the bar as I knew it’s probably my last time to see many of these lovely people.
