Absolutely Feral: Reviews Of Recent Releases By Local Bands

The Wild Giraffes - Live At The Cleveland Agora - Neck Records - 8 songs - LP

The Wild Giraffes - Live And Later - Neck Records - 16 songs - CD

I'm combining these because they're essentially two versions of the same release– the first seven tracks and final track are the same on both, the CD just has an additional 8 studio tracks. We'll start with the live material. Oh my god! It's fantastic! They kick off with an absolutely smoking version of "Right Now," the title track from their only LP and it blows the studio version out of the water, which is a story that's repeated with pretty much every track here. I know people think the "Right Now" album is badly produced and sorta not that great– I fully understand that, though I still enjoy it– but they oughta check this out. The songs on the LP (or the live half of the CD, if that's how you're listening) are basically the definitive versions– particularly the classic originals like "Love Me," "I Don't Know About You," and again "Right Now." There's also "Under My Skin," another great tune that's never been released before (though there is a studio version which someone should put out as a single). This is some of the greatest power pop ever recorded. No exaggeration. Immensely catchy songs, very high energy, perfectly jangly and pretty where it needs to be– but never ever wimpy or any of the other more negative traits associated with power pop, because first and foremost the Wild Giraffes are a rock band. And the group absolutely destroys on here. Dave Ivan and Alan McGinty are a powerhouse rhythm section (Dave "Animal" Ivan gets a couple good screams in, too– and I always knew Alan was a good drummer, but man, he's on fire here). The twin guitar attack of Edgar Reynolds and Bill Elliott is in full force– it's really incredible the way they work together on here. And I've always thought, but this record certainly strengthened this opinion, that Chris King is the standard that all singers in this style should be held to. He's just at the top of the game. The whole thing makes you excited just listening to it. It's powerful.  The final track of the LP is not actually another live track but an earlier studio track

Playwrights Local Presents “Live Bodies for Sale” at Waterloo Arts

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
PLAYWRIGHTS LOCAL ANNOUNCES
WORLD PREMIERE OF “LIVE BODIES FOR SALE”

Powerful new documentary play on the human trafficking crisis in Ohio written by Christopher Johnston. Directed by Terrence Spivey, the production runs November 22 through December 15 at Waterloo Arts in Cleveland.
 
Cleveland, OH; September 30, 2019

Playwrights Local announces the world premiere of “Live Bodies for Sale,” a documentary play by Cleveland-based writer Christopher Johnston. Featuring direction by Terrence Spivey, this powerful new work runs November 22 through December 15 at the Creative Space at Waterloo Arts in Cleveland.

“Live Bodies for Sale” is a new play about the human trafficking crisis occurring in Ohio in the immediate present. In immersive fashion, this documentary work explores the lives of several women from Cleveland who are recent survivors of this ongoing injustice. “Live Bodies for Sale” addresses how these women were forced to work as prostitutes, detailing their escapes as well as their attempts to maintain healthy lives. Based on interviews with real people, the play presents the insights of professionals who help free such victims, including Renee Jones, an urban Mother Theresa figure in Cleveland. Testimonies from Cuyahoga County task force members­­--law enforcement agents, prosecutors, and judges--­­also detail what’s being done to free victims and hunt down their traffickers.

“Live Bodies for Sale” is presented thanks to the generous support of the Dramatists Guild Foundation, which awarded the production one of its prestigious DGF Writers Alliance Grants for 2019. The production is also made available by gifts from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture, the Cyrus Eaton Foundation, and the George Gund Foundation.

“We’re grateful to receive funding from such respected organizations for this play,” said David Todd, Artistic Director of Playwrights Local. “It reflects the depth of work that Christopher Johnston did in creating it, which includes a great deal of hands-on research in the field. We’ll be partnering on talkbacks after many performances with the Renee Jones Empowerment Center and the Cuyahoga Regional Human Trafficking Task Force, among other groups. This is all thanks to Chris, who’s earned their trust over the last four years.”

Christopher Johnston is a Cleveland-based playwright as well as an accomplished nonfiction writer and journalist. His recent book “Shattering Silences: Strategies to Prevent Sexual Assault, Heal Survivors and Bring Assailants to Justice” (Skyhorse Publishing, 2018) received acclaim from Kirkus Review, New York Journal of Books, and the Christian Science Monitor. “Chris has a great deal of experience both in theater and in journalism,” said David Todd. “He has an investigator’s need to find the truth and a playwright’s vision for how to tell it. We feel that he’s the right person to take on such a pressing subject.”  

The cast of “Live Bodies for Sale” includes Leilani Barrett, Rocky Encalada, Arien Hodges, Rochelle Jones, Hayley Johnson, Joseph Milan, Juliette Regnier, and Emily Taylor. Design for the production is by Inda Blatch­-Geib (costumes), Marcus Dana (lights), Beau Reinker (sound), and Lisa L. Wiley (props). The staff includes Kristen Boehnlein (stage manager), Brittany “Charlie” Jones (assistant stage manager), and Tom Hayes (carpenter).

“Live Bodies for Sale” runs November 22 through December 15, 2019, with performances Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. All shows will be at the Creative Space at Waterloo Arts (397 E. 156th Street, Cleveland, OH 44110). Tickets are $18 for adults, $15 for seniors and groups, and $12 for students. Group packages can be arranged by contacting Playwrights Local at info@playwrightslocal.org or (216) 302-8856.

Nan's Notes

There’s a Fest in your Future!

Waterloo Arts Fest, Saturday, June 29,  Noon to 7:00pm

Waterloo Rd between E.161st St and Calcutta Ave

The first Waterloo Arts Fest boasted a parade – of children five to twelve attending the arts camp – two or three vendors, some music and a hotdog stand run by the Executive director. It was terrific.

The 17th Fest will not have a parade, but it will feature more than 30 local bands playing a great mix of music, local handmade art vendors (I think the vendors are human; it’s the art that’s handmade), CLE’s best food trucks, and an exciting mix of innovative and interactive art experiences for all ages. At the Waterloo Arts Fest, you can roll up your sleeves, get your hands dirty and give art a try.

If you’ve never attended, you may like to know that Waterloo Arts is a nonprofit art center with a mission: enrich the neighborhood culturally and economically with art. To that end, we have gallery shows, theatre and music performances, special events and unusual programs for kids. Actually, everything Waterloo Arts does is unusual, because artists.

We don’t just orchestrate this festival, we also manage an art gallery, public art projects, a community arts center and artist studios.

Book Review: A Discovery of Witches

A Discovery of Witches (All Souls Trilogy #1), by Deborah Harkness is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. Once I started the book, I couldn’t but it down and read the other two books in the series in two weeks. Once I finished the series, I was a little sad it was over, like when a good friend moves away, and you don’t get to see them every day. Yes, it’s another book about witches, vampires and daemons and their struggle in the human world, but it is not a copy cat of the books of this genre that have come before it. Deborah Harkness created a new way to look at these creatures, they aren’t monsters, but the same as the humans that they live around.

The New Euclid Beach Park Pier

After having read about the completion of the rebuilding of Euclid Beach Park pier, in a free moment I finally made my way down to see it for myself. Though the official ribbon cutting of the 2.5 million dollar project is planned for the week of May 20th, after remaining landscaping is finished, it is currently open and accessible to visitors. The original pier, which was built to receive ferries shuttling passengers to the former amusement park, now has been rebuilt in a shortened version allowing for access onto the lake for sightseeing and fishing.

Timothy Callaghan: "A Lovely Tremble" a Maria Neil Pop-Up Exhibition

Maria Neil @ The LaSalle
April 20, 2018 – April 22, 2018
Opening Reception:
LaSalle Arts & Media Center
Friday, April 20, 2018
5:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Cleveland, OH – The Maria Neil Art Project

exhibition in the storefronts of the new LaSalle
Arts & Media Center in Collinwood. The
exhibition features the latest new work by local
Cleveland artist Timothy Callaghan. Proceeds

‘A Lovely Tremble’ is a body of work featuring the scenery that is the East 185th Street
neighborhood of Collinwood. "In the later half of 2016 I began a body of work with the
intention of limiting myself to what could be found as source material on E. 185 Street, the
street I live off of in Cleveland, Ohio, “ says artist Timothy Callaghan. The process began with

Steve Cup: Breaking Point

Maria Neil @ Waterloo Arts
April 6, 2018 – May 13, 2018
Opening Reception:
Waterloo Arts Gallery
Friday, April 6, 2018
6:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Cleveland, OH – The Maria Neil Art Project marks
their return to the Cleveland gallery scene with a
provocative and compelling exhibition by New
York based artist Steve Cup.
‘Breaking Point’, opening on Friday, April 6 at Waterloo Arts in Collinwood, is one artists’
visual response to the first year of the Trump presidency. In this body of work Steve Cup
explores what he – and perhaps others - see as a rapidly deteriorating sense of community
as the country reaches all-time levels of divisiveness. Spanning personal works, private
commissions and commercial work, each piece represents an immediate, often emotional
reaction to the violently changing social tide in America including themes of gun violence,
migration, racism and Trump himself.
The exhibition, curated by John Farina and Adam Tully, marks the Maria Neil Art Project’s
return to the art scene after closing their Waterloo gallery last year. “We are so excited to
get back into doing what we love – exhibiting incredible, thought provoking artwork,” says
Tully, “This exhibition will not disappoint. Some may take offense to the material and find it
‘in –your-face’ and others will find it bold and an accurate reflection of the current social and
political situation today.”

DayGloSho Draws Record Numbers to Waterloo Arts Gallery

On Friday February 2, the Waterloo Arts gallery hosted a blacklight Mardi Glo party to show off the sixth annual DayGloSho exhibition. The exhibition featured work made by forty-two local artists all using the famous fluorescent paint donated by Cleveland’s own DayGlo Color Corp. Thus the exhibition displayed work throughout the space under blacklight, even spilling over into the next-door, adjoining space Callaloo Café. The Creative Space classroom was used as a craft area for both children and adults, and some goers were even dressed in the Mardi Gras theme, wearing masks made with DayGlo paint. The Executive Director of the arts nonprofit, Amy Callahan, chose the artists using a combination of a formal application, as well as cultivating local talent by reaching out to new artists, so that the show stays innovative and full of fresh talent from year to year. DayGlo was also generous to sponsor prizes for six different artists, with Douglas Max Utter taking home the first-place prize. The winners were chosen by members of Waterloo’s gallery committee, Robert Thurmer, Director at the Cleveland State University Art Gallery and Nancy Prudic, Associate Professor of Visual Arts at Lake Erie College.

Silhouette Productions "Annie Get Your Gun" comes to Shore Cultural Centre

A musical tale about Old West legendary performer and Ohioan, Annie Oakley comes to life on Shore Cultural Centre’s stage October 13-22 in Silhouette Production’s presentation of Irving Berlin’s classic musical Annie Get Your Gun.  Annie’s (Kate Michalski) natural ability as a sharpshooter is discovered by Buffalo Bill (Clayton Minder) and she is persuaded to join his infamous Wild West Show. Complications ensue when Annie falls in love with the show’s star, Frank Butler (Allen Seely), and her skills put her on top as the show’s star attraction. Annie Get Your Gun hits the mark throughout the show with classic tunes such as “There’s No Business Like Show Business”, “The Girl That I Marry” and “Anything You Can Do”.

Silhouette Productions and Shore Cultural Centre Present "Annie Get Your Gun"

Irving Berlin's "ANNIE GET YOUR GUN" scored a bulls eye when it returned to Broadway in 1999, starring Bernadette Peters and sporting a revised libretto by Tony, Oscar and Emmy winner Peter Stone. As Newsday reported, Stone's revisions 'are sweetly ingenious, and the show is a dream.' Stone reshaped the 1946 book to create a Wild West show-within-a-show that frames the ageless 'Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better' love story of sharpshooters Annie Oakley and Frank Butler. Stone has added a secondary romance between the younger sister of Frank's bothersome assistant Dolly, and a boy who is (to Dolly's horror) part Native American. 'The book has been updated in ways that pass p.c. muster,' reported Time Magazine, 'without losing all the fun.' Joined to the new book, of course, is that amazing Irving Berlin score, featuring hit after hit after hit. 'Irving Berlin's greatest achievement in the theater,' wrote the New York Post, ANNIE GET YOUR GUN 'will always be a musical for the ages, one of the Broadway theater's enduring triumphs.'

SPACES’ artists shop for Materials at HGR Industrial Surplus in Euclid

I am always amazed by the seemingly endless inventiveness of artists. They seem to get inspiration from so many different things. Some find excitement in the natural environment, others in a fantastic world. The expressions are equally varied and exciting. In Cleveland and in my experience with SPACES, a non-profit art organization, many find rich inspiration for their artwork in the fading industrial landscape of Cleveland. Often the artists will arrive from foreign lands and other cities and are drawn immediately to the large warehouses and manufacturing centers, and of course the steel mills with their stacks spitting fire over the downtown skyline. When the artists arrive to work at SPACES as part of the residency, HGR Industrial Surplus often comes up as a resource for material and inspiration.

Fresh Spot of Color on Waterloo

Perhaps you have lately noticed a fresh spot of color acting like a beacon to Waterloo Road. The new mural, designed by French-born and British-educated designer and artist Camille Walala, was commissioned by Jack Mueller, a real estate investor who owns the former bank building on Waterloo Road. The building, upon completion of its interior, will be home to Poplife, a pop-up gallery, health food space, and donation-only yoga studio.

Walala’s work is inspired by the Italian-lead Memphis Movement from the 1980s but is updated with influences from the Ndebele tribe and optical art. She has large-scale works in some of the most important cities in the world: New York, Paris, London, Sydney, and now Cleveland. Mueller said he stumbled across Walala’s work online and was excited about its Memphis influences. From there the artist and the investor developed a friendship over Instagram, both sharing a love of graphic shapes and bold colors. When Mueller saw an opportunity to commission a mural from his favorite artist, he reached out, bringing Camille and her partner Julie Jomaa across the Atlantic for the project.

Mueller has said it is important to him that the building’s exterior reflect its interior, revealing his business’ dedication to the sublimity of bold shapes and bright colors. Simply, he “wants to make the world a more colorful place.” Walala’s aesthetic, bursting with sunny colors like cherry red, millennial pink, canary yellow, and “nifty turquoise” adds a splash of color, hopefully a smile, and a little bit of wonderment to the days of many Clevelanders.

Waterloo is lucky to have an investor like Jack, who believes in public art and in making art as accessible as possible.  Amy Callahan, Executive Director at the nonprofit Waterloo Arts, notes that public art is important because: “[if] you live in a neighborhood where there’s poverty, that doesn’t mean people shouldn’t be able to see art on their walls just for art’s sake.” Callahan went on to say that every neighborhood deserves something beautiful, something that provides a unique point of pride and helps carve an identity out for residents. In particular, street art is like “having a conversation outside,” and murals act as canvases that humanize our urban landscape. Walala’s piece starts a conversation about the creativity and energy of humanity and about the egalitarianism of street art to passerby.

New Art and New Eats on E.185th Street

If you have not been on E.185th Street in a while, you are missing out! New businesses are opening and adding increased vibrancy to the street. One such business is Jack Flaps Sammich. Owner Randy Carter opened the doors to this sandwich shop and deli - where he sells house made meats– in spring 2017.

Around this same time, Cleveland artist Bob Peck was looking for wall space for his next set of murals. The location had to be right - high visibility from the street, lots of car and pedestrian traffic and a community willing to embrace his abstract, colorful art. Bob’s work can also be seen in the nearby Waterloo Arts District.

The City of Euclid’s Department of Planning and Development saw the potential in a long, blank exterior wall at Sammich and introduced Bob to Randy. It was a match! In June, the City’s Architectural Review Board approved the design for the new mural and during the July 4th holiday weekend it was painted over the course of two days. Many people stopped by to watch the fascinating process of installing a painted mural.

The mural can be considered a success in many ways, including the fact that public art along E.185th Street emerged as highly desirable from the preliminary implementation recommendations presented in the City of Euclid’s Master Plan, which wraps up this summer with a Public Meeting on Wednesday, July 12th from 6:30-8pm. Public art was also favored in the TLCI planning for the same corridor.

Check out the new mural the next time you are hungry: a parking lot for Sammich is conveniently located in front of the mural off of Abby Avenue.
