Webmaster Michael is heavily involved with a historical site centered on the Alternative Scene in Salt Lake City, Utah.<br>

<br>I make sure that the Great Salt Lake Mime Troupe gets every appropriate mention, though!<br>
<br><br>
<b>Reason Number Two: </b><br><br>
Michael spent another fabulous summer in Amsterdam assisting Katie Duck and Alfredo Genovesi with the Magpie Improvisational Workshop and Orgelpark Workshop.

As of this writing, Katie and Alfredo Genovesi are traveling to India.<br>
Katie will be doing a couple of solo workshops in the USA during May of 2014, including a history-making weekend in Salt Lake City, where the Mime Troupe first formed while we attended the University of Utah.
<br><br>
I have used the ubiquitous Facebook to try and keep up with the ever-evolving creative scene that touched on the old Festival of Fools. It is a lot easier to use than Blogger's interface, sad to say, and I can't promise when I'll update this page again, since I'll be busy continuing the work I started up above. However, I'll attempt a precis of some other artists and their activities down below:
<br><br>
<b>Duck Allies</b>
<br><br>
Miri Lee, Manuela Tessi, Julyen Hamilton, Vincent Cacalano, and Melvin Fraenk did remarkable performances at Amsterdam's OT 301.

<br>Gob Squad toured extensively in and out of Germany and made a movie out of one of their productions.
<br>Ewan Downie and Anna Porubcansky did wonderful work from their base in Glasgow, Scotland.
<br>Thalia Laric won an award in South Africa.
<br>Jayna Cavendish, Abhilash Ningapa, Rakesh Sukesh, Mohan Nair, Chandana Sarma, and Swati Mohan traveled back and forth between India and the West. Sylvain Meret and Wendell Cooper were all over the globe!

<br />
Jayna trained in Ballet and Contemporary dance at the Rambert School in London ... Her interests have led her to live and work in the UK, Germany, Spain, Italy, New York and India where she has continued her studies in dance, improvisation, contact improvisation and music. Jayna is also a singer and vocalist. Her interests lie mainly in improvisation and collaboration.
<br />
Contemporary Class: I teach a release based contemporary class with influences from somatic technique and floor work ... The movement material is built on spirals, flow and off balance. Music, rhythm and dynamic is emphasised to promote individuality and bring playfulness into our dance.
<br />
Improvisation Class: The aim of this class is to open paths to explore our individual body knowledge and intuitive responses to being in the moment ... Simple structures will allow us time to develop our personal dance and find freedom within our movement, whilst providing a platform for spontaneity to arise.

Kim Berry: <i>Don't forget the band who adored him, the New Horizon's Band...he would always play clarinet if I asked him to...</i>
Michael Evans: <i>Stuart was half the duo at the core of Great SL Mime Troupe's original full-time band, along with Paul Blackwell, in the summer of 1973.

He worked with ex-Troupers Patsy Droubay, Debra Ryals, Hillary Elmore, and Jan Jaap Decker as part of the Creative Graffiti theater group in Salt Lake City, and after additional stints with Mainstream, The Jordan River Uptown Band, and the John Fischer Group he returned to Europe -- performing in Hamburg, Germany with the orchestra for Andrew Lloyd Weber's long-running musical Cats for over a deca
The Mime Troupe's band split with the group in 1976, and called themselves "Expression" until 1977. Stu also was part of Friends Big Band (with Gregg Moore), that did arrangements by drummer Paul Holland. Ellen Beier told me about Stuart playing with a German Clarinet Ensemble too.
Of course, Stuart also jammed with the late Sean Bergin of Friends Roadshow etc. etc. and was recruited for a gig or two with Jango Edwards (Full Moon Band). I heard Stuart doing a guest spot with the fabulous singer Liz Draper in Salt Lake City circa 1983 -- the LZ5 with Phil Miller (sax), and brilliant Julie Leuders (who left us too soon) on drums</i>.
Patricia Nelson Feltmann: <i>I think he also played in Albany Swing Band</i>.
Rob Birdwell: <i>Corvallis Community Theatre musicals, The Blowholes, combo gigs of all types...</i>
Colleen Dick: I saw him on a few occasions sitting in with the Rough Jazz
Melvyn Garcia: <i>Lincoln Pops Orchestra</i>
John Bliss: <i>Stuart joined in with the Xtet several times at Bombs Away</i>.

He worked with ex-Troupers Patsy Droubay, Debra Ryals, Hillary Elmore, and Jan Jaap Decker as part of the Creative Graffiti theater group in Salt Lake City, and after additional stints with Mainstream, The Jordan River Uptown Band, and the John Fischer Group he returned to Europe -- performing in Hamburg, Germany with the orchestra for Andrew Lloyd Weber's long-running musical <i>Cats</i> for over a decade. <a href="http://theatrex.net/theatre/mt_pt7/cats_hamburg/cats_20th_century.htm">See the link HERE</a>.
<br>
He lived in Corvallis, Oregon through the 2000's, performing music regularly.

<i>Stuart Curtis touched the lives of many of us with his masterful music, sense of humor, and his gentle, caring spirit. We invite you all to join us in a celebration of his life on Friday, November 9, 6:30-8:30 at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Corvallis, 2945 NW Circle Blvd. Corvallis, Oregon USA.
You are invited to bring a potluck dish and/or a (non-alcoholic) beverage to share. We will gather in the Fellowship Hall after the memorial service to socialize and share a meal. Musicians who would like to honor their connection with Stu by performing a song or two, please contact Suz Doyle (suz@suzdoyle.com) who will be coordinating the flow of the service. Anyone who has photos, video or audio files they would like to contribute to a digital presentation for everyone's enjoyment, please email them to Sue Crawford (sue@crawfordesign.com).</i>Michael Evanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04675182930489841780noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4091943452991667828.post-72322376494331733612012-10-05T15:06:00.000-06:002014-06-03T01:12:32.910-06:00Autumn In The Northern Hemisphere!<br />

Johnny Melville and Jango Edwards continue to fool around the cinema. Check out <a href="http://www.paradeoffoolsthemovie.com/">Parade of Fools</a> for the latest on their movie!<br />
<br />
Quoth Johnny Melville: This was the first poster with Franki Anderson and Bob Stratton in 1977 - Strombo the Maniac (Tim Robinson) is on the right - he was Guinness world record holder for lying on a bed of nails when he tragically died in a car accident. This was from the Zacynthos island theatre festival in 1978 when they flew me into do COME AGAIN - my first solo show with Doug Balfour - the group (by now different from the poster) arrived by truck to play MONKEY which I directed....and Breno Moroni starred as the MONKEY KING and was he GOOD.....!!!!

Quoting Ewa Neal: Those of us who arrived by van had traveled from Edinburgh festival via London, through France where the van broke down on the border to Italy. We endured a hairy ride, towed down the mountain at speed and had to spend the night in a small ... When we eventually arrived at our destination John told us he had been woken up by an earthquake and we found out that we had our first perfomance of our 'medieval show' the very same night.
We rehearsed the whole day to put the show together and as time was short Breno never found the time to pick out the shards of glass from the larger pieces for our 'lying-on-a-bed-of-glass', while I did a handstand on top of him stunt.
The show was crazy - all the villagers brought their own chairs to watch the performance. They had built a wooden stage next to the church Ross managed to put a big hole in with a sledgehammer while demonstrating that it was a real and very heavy one (the sledgehammer that is).
Breno cut his back on the glass shards
and all the time these flashes of lightning without claps lit up the night.
Everything felt electric including the show. It was the strangest gig ever.

Shows all went really well - sold out on opening night (at half price!) though snow put paid to a big house on Sat. They want us back for the next 2 or 3 years plus the possibility of supporting us to the Melbourne and Edinburgh festivals next year. Only an idea at the moment but if it's a goer I'll probably be the second oldest bloke on the fringe - after Nicholas Parsons - as I approach my eighth decade.

Kirstie Simson -- Digitized from live sketches by M.E.</center>
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">Classes draw from her knowledge of Contact Improvisation, Dance Techniques, Aikido, Meditation and her extensive experience ... in performance. <br />The focus will be on exploring uninhibitedly the huge potential of the body’s response to the primal urge to move ... Kirstie will be focusing on various aspects and techniques for freeing up the body - allowing it to move with greater ease and grace. She has spent many years researching ways of moving which generate full and fearless dancing, and she enjoys the challenges of intense physicality ...<br />The classes offer students a way to extend and deepen their experience of moving, to practice the skills of dancing in partnership with others and improvising with greater sensitivity to each other and the environment. In recent years Kirstie’s focus has been directed towards the art of deep listening within her practice of improvisation ...</span>. <br />

Hold onto your hat, George-O! -- Barsham Fair 1975</center>
<br />
The website -- Currently being upgraded. It is being rebuilt using a content management system (CMS) called Plone. Straightforward to use, contributions and assistance welcome. Descriptions or impressions of individual fairs are especially appreciated.<br />
The exhibition -- Having a rest under Madeline's spare bed. Shouldn't be allowed to get settled in. Venues and dates need sorting out. Publicity and launch events too. Improvements need looking at ...<br />
<br />
CONTEXT: Barsham Faire is where George-O first met Johnny Melville, which eventually led to <span style="font-style: italic;">Kaboodle</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">Salatka Balloon Band</span> coming to Amsterdam's Festival of Fools.<br />
There is quite an active group documenting these East Anglian Fairs!<br />

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Glad this is still going to happen:</span><br />
Fifteen years after it roped in Malayalee artistes for the hugely-successful <span style="font-style: italic;">Odysseus</span>, Footsbarn Traveling Theatre of France is back in Kerala, this time with the Shakespearian play - <span style="font-style: italic;">The Tempest</span>.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">The Odysseus </span>team would be part of <span style="font-style: italic;">The Tempest</span> as well. “Footsbarn http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifplans to set the play in India and premiere it in Guimaraes, Portugal, in May 2012 and later [undertake] a European tour to Spain, France, England and other countries.

Buchinger's Boot Theatre's manager (and Footsbarn's former manager) John Kilby and I had this Facebook conversation on December 18, 2011:<br />
Me: <span style="font-style: italic;">Just heard about Vasclav Havel's death -- sorry.</span><br />
John: <span style="font-style: italic;">yep it's a hard one, saw him last year he was already frail - brilliant in every department and a true HUMAN, it's been a honour to have known him. He was supposed to come to Avignon next year - now there will only be a hommage!</span><br />
Me: <span style="font-style: italic;">I didn't know how frail he was -- I was proud of MIR for featuring him and his work, among other things.</span><br />
John: <span style="font-style: italic;">... was ill for quite a long time there'll be his company Divadlo Husa na Provasku performing at the Villeneuve en scène festival in 2012 - performing the full version of Havel's Circus.</span><br />
<br />
On his Facebook page, he wrote: <span style="font-style: italic;">What an incredible honour to have known this extraordinary man in 1989 and 2010 - thanks</span><br />

Xavier Cugat (1900 - 1990) was born Francisco d'Asís Xavier Cugat Mingall de Bru i Deulofeu in Girona, Catalonia. He achieved fame as a violinist, caricaturist, and genial entertainer who specialized in Latin American Big Band Music. <br />

(Above) New York City-born Abbe Lane was Xavier Cugat's lead singer for around ten years. After they split up, Cugat eventually hired a young performer named “Charo,” who became his most famous walking, talking, dancing caricature — whomever the real lady behind that act happens to be!<br />

Kirstie Simson -- Digitized from live sketches by M.E.</center>
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">Classes draw from her knowledge of Contact Improvisation, Dance Techniques, Aikido, Meditation and her extensive experience ... in performance. <br />The focus will be on exploring uninhibitedly the huge potential of the body’s response to the primal urge to move ... Kirstie will be focusing on various aspects and techniques for freeing up the body - allowing it to move with greater ease and grace. She has spent many years researching ways of moving which generate full and fearless dancing, and she enjoys the challenges of intense physicality ...<br />The classes offer students a way to extend and deepen their experience of moving, to practice the skills of dancing in partnership with others and improvising with greater sensitivity to each other and the environment. In recent years Kirstie’s focus has been directed towards the art of deep listening within her practice of improvisation ...</span>. <br />

<span style="font-style: italic;">I am in Italy at a village called the land of laughs (Monte San Giusto) lots of clown madness happening -- Michael Christensen is here, Big Apple Circus founder ...</span><br />
<br />
Monte San Giusto is a small village in the Italians mountains ... and they are crazy for clown. A huge red nose hangs off the clock tower, hundreds of houses hang balloons, clown effigies, puppets, colored windows, and everywhere people are hungry for the year's new crazies for the festival. <br />
<br />
What's next for Johnny: November clown festival in Vitoria-Gasteiz, capital of Álava province in Northern Spain – and of the autonomous Basque region.<br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.dance.utah.edu/danceforcamerafest/index.html">The 8th International Festival of Dance for the Camera</a> was held at the University of Utah from September 15 through 24. Filmmaker Katrina McPherson was the special guest, and she presented the American premiere of her film about Kirstie Simson called <span style="font-style: italic;">Force of Nature</span>. <br />
Kirstie and Webmaster Michael both had dinner at Katie Duck's house recently, but about a week apart. The coincidence was over-the-top fun! After Simson's movement workshop on Saturday, Michael introduced her to Ruth's Diner in the mountains just above the university -- where they drank espresso outside in the beautiful late-summer afternoon. <br />
Michael took Kirstie back to Katrina's class in the dark recesses of the old Museum of Art, and they all met again at sunset, for the screening of <span style="font-style: italic;">Force of Nature</span> at Fort Douglas, with the addition of lovely Mime Trouper Patsy Droubay!<br />

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Barsham Faire and Albion Faire, East Anglia UK</span><br />
Webmaster Michael got an interesting email from someone perusing the Great Salt Lake Mime Troupe Outline and Scrapbook:<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">We have in recent years collected an archive on the East Anglian Fairs of the 1970s/80s. We have just been donated some pictures from Barsham 1975 including a small series featuring George and his 'little princess' ... are busy creating an exhibition at the moment ...</span><br />
<br />
Barsham Faire is where George first met Johnny Melville, which eventually led to <span style="font-style: italic;">Kaboodle</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">Salatka Balloon Band</span> coming to Amsterdam's Festival of Fools.<br />
There is quite an active group documenting these East Anglian Fairs!<br />
They made an informative <a href="http://www.fairsarchive.org.uk/">Website</a>, <br />
but are collaborating on said exhibition via their blog <a href="http://fairsarchive.wordpress.com/">HERE</a><br />
Next year marks 40 years since the first of the legendary East Anglian fairs – which ran from 1972 to 1986 – took place. Their spirit of creativity, play and environmentalism was ahead of its time and has left a legacy today. The fairs became renowned for providing extraordinary theatre, music, installation art, artisan stalls and other entertainments, helping to establish the careers of many who have gone on to play an important part in the cultural life of Britain.<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">The first run of the East Anglia Fairs exhibition is now over. It had a cheery launch on the 4th August ... Maximum chatting, minimal speechifying. Madeline and Mike said a bit, about the archive and the forthcoming gig, and Don said a bit more and read an Andy Bell poem 'Dragon Hill'.</span><br />

<br />
<br />He wondered aloud why Sept/Oct/Nov/Dec were the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th months when their names meant 7, 8, 9, and 10 -- Well, Julius Caesar reformed the Roman Calendar to bring it in line with the seasons and inserted two months before September, one of which was named in his honor. His heir, the even-more-ruthless Augustus Caesar followed suit. BTW: There was no Year Zero -- 1 A.D. followed 1 B.C. (Before Christ) Herod I of Judea died in 4 B.C. Augustus taxed "the whole world" in 2 A.D. Those are verifiable facts, after that, Dot Dash Ditty Dot Dash -- Dam' If I Know ...

<br />Webmaster Michael got an interesting email from someone perusing the Great Salt Lake Mime Troupe Outline and Scrapbook:
<br /><span style="font-style:italic;">We have in recent years collected an archive on the East Anglian Fairs of the 1970s/80s. We have just been donated some pictures from Barsham 1975 including a small series featuring George and his 'little princess' ... are busy creating an exhibition at the moment ...</span>

<br />Barsham Faire is where George first met Johnny Melville, which eventually led to <span style="font-style:italic;">Kaboodle</span> and <span style="font-style:italic;">Salatka Balloon Band</span> coming to Amsterdam's Festival of Fools.
<br />There is quite an active group documenting these East Anglian Fairs!
<br />They made an informative <a href="http://www.fairsarchive.org.uk/">Website</a>,
<br />but are collaborating on said exhibition via their blog <a href="http://fairsarchive.wordpress.com/">HERE</a>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Old Stables Gallery (Corn Hall) 4-26 August 11am-4pm Mon - Sat FREE <span style="font-style:italic;">From Barsham to Albion –- an archive of material from the East Anglian Fairs of the 70s and 80s</span></span>
<br />
<br />Next year marks 40 years since the first of the legendary East Anglian fairs – which ran from 1972 to 1986 – took place. Their spirit of creativity, play and environmentalism was ahead of its time and has left a legacy today. The fairs became renowned for providing extraordinary theatre, music, installation art, artisan stalls and other entertainments, helping to establish the careers of many who have gone on to play an important part in the cultural life of Britain. The Corn Hall is celebrating these great happenings with an exhibition of posters, photographs, film, and assorted memorabilia from the fairs, including the ultimate monthly newspaper of alternative East Anglia, the <span style="font-style:italic;">Waveney Clarion</span>. This exhibition will evoke memories for those who were there and will explain the magic and significance of the fairs to those who missed them.

Their spirit of creativity, play and environmentalism was ahead of its time and has left a legacy today. The fairs became renowned for providing extraordinary theatre, music, installation art, artisan stalls and other entertainments, helping to establish the careers of many who have gone on to play an important part in the cultural life of Britain. The Corn Hall is celebrating these great happenings with an exhibition of posters, photographs, film, and assorted memorabilia from the fairs, including the ultimate monthly newspaper of alternative East Anglia, the <span style="font-style:italic;">Waveney Clarion</span>.

He was an absolutely wonderful man who LOVED life and Commedia!)<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Filmed in 1926, 'The General' is often cited as one of the best comedies of all time. Orson Welles, whose own 'Citizen Kane' often gets credit for 'the greatest film of all time' personally considered Keaton's masterpiece worthy of that honor. 'The General' captures Keaton at the height of his powers as one of the greatest physical comedians ever.</span><br /><br />Randy Carrico - alto saxphone & piccolo<br />Julie Froblom - tenor & soprano saxophones<br />Virginia Ryder - clarinet<br />Bill Allison - trumpet & keybords<br />Tim Gray - percussion<br />Gregg Moore - tuba, trombone, mandolins, banjo, composition<br /><br />Here's a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Music-for-The-General/160970880590232">link to the Facebook page</a> featuring samples of Gregg's music for this movie! (FB registration required.)<br /><br />'Music for 'The General' is a concert of live, original music set to the action of the Buster Keaton masterpiece. The program was the result of a commission in 2002 from the Cine Clube de Covilhã, a group of cinema enthusiasts in the university town of Covilhã Portugal for a festival of silent film with live music.<br /><br />An hour and a quarter of music describe the madcap, rough and tumble action of the film and reflect a wide variety of compositional influences from parlor songs evocative of mid 19th century America to angular late 20th century experimentalism and improvisation. Military marches a la Hannes Eisler and Kurt Weill, love songs, cartoon music, the film music of Ennio Morricone, Danny Elfman and Nino Rota and the circus qualities inherent in Klezmer music are all channeled to musically animate this product of the cinematic genius of Buster Keaton.<br /><br />Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for students and seniors and can be reserved online at www.dellarte.com or by phone at 707.668.5663.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Gregg Moore is also opening his vaults on the Internet:</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2Kpms7EgTPddpqSHpxjJljCpI-pPnOhhCvtcPKKiyMKBLXZ_Nng0azWoxrxJDupqZUlKklFCOw7nMkLZG6mEg50hG5zseLQGkUZqCy2MWbu3_Jv5axI54nzdYVuWsw8xuWPXbK3srrHVS/s1600/0moore_tapes0w.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 290px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2Kpms7EgTPddpqSHpxjJljCpI-pPnOhhCvtcPKKiyMKBLXZ_Nng0azWoxrxJDupqZUlKklFCOw7nMkLZG6mEg50hG5zseLQGkUZqCy2MWbu3_Jv5axI54nzdYVuWsw8xuWPXbK3srrHVS/s400/0moore_tapes0w.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5590402454647075938" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Look and listen on <a href="http://www.relevantmusic.org/archives/">Relevant Music</a>.</span><br /><br />Great Salt Lake Mime Troupe; Friends Big Band; Available Jelly; and even MOORE to come.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">In The Mission District of San Francisco (which actually pre-dates the city itself.):</span><br /><br />Mission Arts Performance Project -- <span style="font-style:italic;">The MAPP is a bi-monthly neighborhood inter-cultural arts event that transforms garages, cafes, studios, gardens, and local businesses into make-shift arts & performance spaces where daily life meets artistic innovation and expression.</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNR7UbhTeMY9WWP4KJGnzqxw7D5q3i90-lJpcVvLM6VqaKmHKCOp86-jC4ydAfn91MPTZ1j_i7wvR9aXEAjVafAkawdm6dAwwtIF1_-TF2-8gRTr8knDyLC2xPgTWKJ1hngPLUh4vTz7KI/s1600/rasa_0311a.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNR7UbhTeMY9WWP4KJGnzqxw7D5q3i90-lJpcVvLM6VqaKmHKCOp86-jC4ydAfn91MPTZ1j_i7wvR9aXEAjVafAkawdm6dAwwtIF1_-TF2-8gRTr8knDyLC2xPgTWKJ1hngPLUh4vTz7KI/s400/rasa_0311a.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5590408788477176834" /></a><center>Multi-dimensional professional dancer Rasa Vitalia will be moving in The Mission this weekend!

One story about the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 goes something like this: Barrymore was romancing Isadora Duncan, but was driven out of his hotel by the quake. The U.S. Army took charge, and enlisted able-bodied men like himself to help with the labor needed to save lives during the fire and chaos of the aftermath.<br />His family back east was worried, and were glad to get a telegram from another person who’d seen him in San Francisco, relaying his story to them. Some of the family wondered if they could trust the good news, but Ethel Barrymore reportedly said (parphrasing further) -- <span style="font-style:italic;">He’s chasing a woman out of town, it takes an act of God to get him out of bed in the morning, and the army to make him work — it’s Jack alright!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Elsewhere in the USA:</span><br /><br />Stuart Curtis in Oregon had this to say about the <span style="font-style:italic;">Na Mesa</span> CD release party earlier this week: <span style="font-style:italic;">It went well.
