Hilarious work, #UArtsanimation students! Mature content warning. 😂 #UArts Work by Manny, Frankie, Ceyda, Damien, Renee, Christopher, Sebastian, Sydney, Stefan, Bean, James, Devon, Jake, Julia, Siobhan, Gabriel, and some other people who didn't put their name in the filenames! 😮

This month is the 4 year anniversary of my graduation from college and the completion of my senior thesis, “Bhogavati: Kingdom of the Naga”. For those of you who remember, the first image was a doodle I made shortly after it premiered. I decided to celebrate by doing a redraw of the kids and update their designs a bit. 
If you haven’t seen it yet, you can view my thesis here on vimeo

Favorite Theatre Piece - Post #1
**CW: Discussion of Anti-Semitism, Nazi Regime
**Spoiler Alert for the current West End production of Cabaret
Tumblr media
This summer, I studied abroad in London and experienced a ton of professional UK theatre. Among these pieces, one stuck out as my favorite experience in a theatre that I've ever had! This was the currently running West End production of Cabaret, at the Playhouse Theatre turned Kit Kat Klub. This production of Cabaret is like no other you've ever seen, with immediate full immersion into a gritty, sensual nightclub. There was a complimentary shot at the door, pre-show nightclub acts in every corner, multiple themed bars, and a stage setup that was fully in the round with three turntables!
Aside from the stunning fully immersive setup, I was really enamored with the way the show used theatrical devices and the intimacy of the set to create jaw dropping narrative moments. During the tense scene between Fräulein Schneider and Herr Schultz where they discuss their engagement-party-turned-Nazi-uprising, the Emcee entered with a bottle wrapped in glass. This gave the impression that this scene would end in a happy reconciliation of their relationship and a marriage. The Emcee raises his foot to smash the glass, and there's a blackout and the sound of smashed glass. You feel relieved! Everything will be alright between them, they'll still get their love story. Until the lights come back up. There's confetti everywhere. And a rock has been thrown through the window. An anti-semitic hate crime has occurred, shocking both characters and cementing the relationship's fate as dead. The confetti remains for the rest of the act, signifying the stain of the Nazi regime and the moment that the everything "breaks". This is the most stunning and heartbreaking moment I've ever seen onstage, and the rest of the production uses similar sensibilities and devices to its advantage.

Cats. The Musical. It's good.
Listen. I could sit here and type for hours about why I love Cats the Musical. But I only have 10 minutes to type this so. Here we go.
Cats follows a group of Jellicle Cats who have gathered for the Jellicle Ball in order to decide who gets to pass on to the Heaviside Layer. It's based on a collection of poems by TS Elliot and began as a songwriting exercise turned song cycle turned musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Many people have preconceived notions about Cats. Many people who have never seen it before seem to hate it. But I find Cats to be a genuinely charming and just plain fun musical.
With sets and costumes designed by the amazing John Napier, it should be clear going in that an incredible amount of care and time and dedication went into designing this show. Each cat has their own name, their own unique costume, and even their own way of dancing. The costumes are all different but uniform in how they are designed: a painted bodysuit, a tail wrapped around the waist, furry leg warmers, and a wig of fluff and fur and ears. The set is all blown up big versions of normal sized things. The entire show is simply fun and entertaining. I cannot stress how happy that makes me. Sometimes theatre takes itself a bit too seriously--it's stuffy, it's dramatic, it's too much. But the thing I love so much about Cats is that it's just hilariously absurd and entertaining and fun. No other show compares to the beautiful detail of every single design element of Cats. There was clearly so much care and time that went into the making of this show and I absolutely love it.

A common sentiment shared by a lot of the guests I’ve had on the podcast is that you can’t be what you don’t see. That starts at a young age, too — think about the book covers and other visuals you saw as a child and how that’s shaped you to where you are now. Luckily, there are dope illustrators like this week’s guest, Alleanna Harris, who are creating images that captivate and inspire kids so they can truly see themselves.
Alleanna and I went over some of her recent projects, including a portrait of Will Smith she drew in front of The Fresh Prince himself. She also shared her process on how she conveys a book’s story through pictures while also making them stunningly appealing. Later, Alleanna talked about growing up in South Jersey, attending UArts, spoke on the benefits of being represented by an agent, and told me what she appreciates the most about her life right now. Alleanna is a rising star, and according to her, a career in the world of illustration is possible! (So keep drawing!)

Theater of War - Response
Theater of War really illuminated Brecht's work and Epic Theatre as a whole for me. I loved the wide reach of interviews and confessionals detailing just how much Brecht's Mother Courage and her Children has touched various artists, creatives, intellectuals, and humans alike. The dramaturgical information about war in Berlin was incredibly helpful to understand the wide reach of this play and its everlasting effect on the theatrical canon and theatre creators. The evident necessity of Brecht's work expressed in these confessionals inspires me greatly. I would be honored to someday create work that feels this necessary to those who bear witness to it. I loved Tony Kushner's musings on adaptation specifically, as a playwright who adapts works quite frequently. This documentary really inspired me as an artist and excited me the goals of Epic Theatre. I feel drawn to the desire to make work that calls people to action, and this documentary showed the internal work of this goal succeeding.

Melodrama in Theatre
A melodrama is a work (usually dramatic) that uses exaggerated characters, events, and plot in order to get a strong emotional reaction from the people in the audience. Before the realism movement, melodrama was one of the most prevalent forms of storytelling on the stage: many operas and operettas are melodramas because of their overdramatic and expressive nature.
Characters in melodramas are often given specific stereotypes and archetypal roles: the sensitive hero, the mean villain, the persecuted heroine, the clown, the faithful friend, and the villains accomplice are all common stereotypes found in melodramas.
The dialogue found in melodramas is typically verbose and wordy with flowery and sentimental language used to get a reaction from audience members, focusing less on action and more on sentimentality. Conflicts found in melodrama typically focus and revolve around love, home life, family issues, and marriage with an outside source often serving as the catalyst for the conflict; whether it's a stereotypical aristocratic villain or a temptress.
