carolyn rapanos | set design | gruesome playground injuries

Carolyn Rapanos is busy at work designing a beautiful, innovative set for GRUESOME PLAYGROUND INURIES here at PT! You might recognize her elegant designs from OLEANNA (Bleeding Heart Theatre), OLD CURIOSITY SHOP (United Players) and is nominated for a Jessie this year as a part of the design team for JACK AND THE BEAN (Presentation House Theatre). Get a sneak peek of her work, and learn more about this up-and-coming talent here!

How did you first get involved with Gruesome Playground Injuries?

Pippa and Kenton contacted me, having worked with me back when we were studying theatre at UBC. Strangely enough, I had been approached about a year ago about designing for the same show but the project didn't pan out, so I had read the script and was already excited about the opportunity to design for it!

(Carolyn's design for Dancing at Lughnasa at UBC)

What is your favourite part about the play as a designer?

One of my favourite parts is the transitions - each scene takes place years apart and portrays different injuries, which means the characters have to become younger and older and damaged in different ways right in front of the audience. I wanted to bring visual focus to this in the set design. I was inspired by the feel of the script to find a bold, stylized motif that would also facilitate the action of the play. I started playing around with the look of weaving cotton tape because I liked the visual suggestion of bandages or even playground netting. Weaving this material together became a simple and direct way to bring visual focus to how the two characters' lives intertwine.

(An early sketch of her GRUESOME set design)

What is the biggest challenge this play presents as a designer?

My favourite parts of plays are also often the most challenging. The transitions present a logistical challenge in that each scene takes place in a different location and that the audience must sit through each transition. My goal is to make the transitions seamless and visually interesting while remaining part of the entire set composition.

If you could describe the play in three words, what would you use?

Intimate, bold, quirky

A WALK IN THE THAI SUN
by  CJC McKitrick

Retired Vancouver Police officer Sam Watson has little use for religion.  When his only son, Jeff, commits to missionary service in Thailand, Sam is understandably upset.

An uneasy long distance relationship continues until the unthinkable happens: Jeff is murdered.  The mission organization wants nothing to do with the investigation and the Thai Police seem unable or unwilling to solve the crime. Sam finds himself in Thailand seeking his son’s killer but also grappling with loss, culture shock and, ultimately, the meaning of his son’s short life

throwback thursday | driving miss daisy

In the 2007-2008 season we "went to the movies", producing a year's worth of plays that had been made into films.  The season kicked off with DRIVING MISS DAISY, directed by Sarah Rodgers (director of ESPRESSO), featuring Erla Faye Forsyth, Tom Pickett, and Paul Moniz de Sa.

espresso | costume design

In a show like ESPRESSO, the costume design can come across as deceptive in its simplicity, but there is still a lot of time and thought that goes into the design.  Below are the preliminary research pictures our designer, Naomi Sider, came up with, as well as some of her thoughts on what she wanted to do with the designs.

Some notes from Naomi on the final design:

For Lucia's first dress, I wanted to bring in some vibrant colour. The set is full of metallic colours and hard edges, like the world Rosa sees that is suddenly dangerous for our fragile selves. In contrast to that, I chose for her a bright teal colour that is a flowy rayon. In the midst of Rosa's crisis she is a living, sensual being. The colour choice seemed like it was meant to be when we found the exact shade of green-blue in our shoes.

For the second dress, the colour was determined by the script. Some design decisions for that dress came from the functional necessities of being dressed onstage by another actor. It could not be fussy. The simple lines ensure that Rosa is the focus of our attention, and they reflect her grief.

gruesome playground injuries | christopher david gauthier | costume design

Christopher David Gauthier is an award-winning, constantly-creating costume designer who is almost as excited about designing GRUESOME PLAYGROUND INJURIES as we are to have him on our team. Christopher’s work was last seen at PT for MEASURE FOR MEASURE, in GA TING with the Frank Theatre company, PROOF at Mnemonic Theatre, and he is nominated this year for a Jessie for Outstanding Body of Work in Costume Design for Small Theatre. 

How did you get involved with Gruesome Playground Injuries, and Pacific Theatre?

Pippa Johnstone asked me as we were working on The Honest Fishmongers' production of Measure for Measure presented at Pacific Theatre. So I said, sure I'll read it, but I was a bit leery about a co-op/low budget production at this point, but Pippa was a draw, Kenton is charming and [director] Chelsea Haberlin and I had been talking about working together so it had all that.
Then I read it.
And I said yes immediately.
The script is achingly beautiful, as well as dark, fiercely funny, and brutally honest.

(Pippa in Christophers's designs in Measure for Measure.)

What is your favourite part of Gruesome Playground Injuries as a designer?

Can't pick just one - I guess "the team", the actors are great, Chelsea is beautifully focused, and is open to discussion, nurturing of creativity, and Carolyn Rapanos's set design is in and of itself gorgeous, simple, evocative, and will integrate the costumes (hooray!).
But wait - the script is fantastic. Truly.
In fact it's one of the few scripts I've read that I just got immediately, on a really deep level, and my admiration for the clean, spare writing just grows and grows.

What are the specific challenges of working on Gruesome Playground Injuries?

Well, there are lots of time shifts as it covers 30 years, and it has been decided that it all needs to happen onstage, but in essence we (and especially Chelsea) have turned that into a plus. It does have to happen onstage, it makes sense, and it helps the design. So we limited the palette, and came up with a simple idea that I think will be effective AND theatrical. And it turns out the injuries which look crazy difficult at the beginning seem not so wild once you are into it (additionally make-up/blood products are fantastic and very user friendly today.)

If you had to pick one year for clothing between 1984 and 2014, which styles or trends would you pick & why?

As a designer while there are things I like and dislike in fashion/styles of every time but I don't like to pick a favourite time/era, I think it can end up limiting you either consciously or unconsciously.
For this play we are less concerned with period, there is a bit of timelessness we are aiming for, as the pieces need to be interchangeable for the show.
Unrelated to the show I do have a huge fondness for Cyndi Lauper's taste as it's developed, she's always been able to grab the key elements in any period and make them her own. I like that, taking the current and making it personal. I dislike the tendency to judge a period you didn't live through. Of course it looks weird to you!

If you could describe the play in three words what would you use?

Honest, Pithy, Bittersweet.

There you have it folks. Come see this genius' designs in action at GRUESOME PLAYGROUND INJURIES here at Pacific Theatre running July 3-12th.

PLA

Pacific Theatre's 2014 Playground Series

The Playground Series is a summer series where Pacific Theatre invites its emerging and recently-emerged artists to develop their own work on our stage. We are thrilled to announce the 2014 line up!

CRIME & PUNISHMENT  by Marilyn Campbell & Curt Columbus  

 A Stone’s Throw Production  June 25 - June 28 

Featuring PT Apprentice Ryan Scramstad

Described as a “conversation on the nature of evil,” Crime and Punishment is the story of Raskolnikov, a university dropout obsessed with a theory and ravaged by poverty. Fighting a battle between his justification for committing a horrific crime and the guilt which stalks him, Raskolnikov searches for absolution. With a police inspector hot on his trail and an unlikely friendship with a compassionate prostitute ever in his thoughts, Raskolnikov relives the events surrounding his actions in this psychological drama.

GRUESOME PLAYGROUND INJURIES  by Rajiv Joseph             A Stone’s Throw Production  July 3 - 12

Featuring PT Apprentices Pippa Johnstone & Kenton Klassen 

A decades-spanning relationship of an accident-prone dare devil and a corrosive masochist who navigate friendship, love, and the wounds created in between. Over the course of 30 years, their lives continue to intersect at the most bizarre intervals and places, leading the two childhood friends to compare scars and the physical calamities that keep drawing them together. Gruesome Playground Injuries tells a different kind of love story through sharp humour and even sharper insights into the human condition.

THE BLACK HOUSE, THE BLUE SKY by Dani Bryant & Andrea Loewen A Xua Xua Production  July 17 & 18

A new musical based on Canadian indie rockers Stars’ acclaimed album The Five Ghosts. A coming of age story for those who missed the point the first time around.

AUGUST IN THE SPRING by Cara Cunningham
A Satellite Theatre Production   July 23 - 26 

August is brilliant, socially awkward and desperate to stay a student forever. Her mother is determined to find her a man. 

THE COMPLETE SUITCASE STORIES by Maki Yi 
August 6 - 9 

The 10-minute stories of the Lobby Project throughout PT’s anniversary season will be back as a complete stage production.

SOCRATES SECOND WIFE by Simon Webb
A ProVan Production   August 13 - 16

It’s the day of Socrates execution. As the hour draws near, his young second wife, Xanthippe, visits his cell, and the two lovers dissect and discuss his Philosophy of Love, as they argue about his choice to die.

Rosedale on Robson Writer's Week:
IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE by Shauna Johannesen 
A Pacific Theatre Production   September 19 & 20 

When Colleen returns home for her father’s funeral, she has to face the guilt over missing his last days, her own loss of faith, and the reason she left town. Between the crappy flowered cards and lasagne casseroles, the over-priced caskets and hidden bottles of wine, Colleen has to decide whether she can live without the love of her life, how she fits in her messy, religious, grieving family, and what it means to live with yourself.

The Playground Series is curated by PT artist Tina Teeninga.

espresso | responses

"This incarnation of Espresso was a first time experience for my friend and me. As the applause subsided and the actors left the stage, we sat silently for a good five minutes before we could bring ourselves to leave. Yes, we actually wished that Lucia and Robert would return to the stage immediately after the curtain call to ‘play’ the play again. This is truly the mark of an extraordinary theatre experience. Lucia and Robert’s characters moved through each other like quicksilver, round, full and fearless. Espresso exposed family complexity’s raw nerve and explored the minefield negotiation of our profound relationships, lost and found. Lucia is a Canadian playwright whose voice rings as strong as the espresso in the cup." | Cheryl Mullen, patron (website comment)

"It doesn’t get much better than this." | Paul Durras, BC Book World

"Go for Frangione’s poetry that falls like ripe fruit from a tree. Go for the humour; there’s plenty of it. Go for the taste-bud teasing references to all that Italian food; it’s the next best thing to being in love and in Italy. And then go home and dance with whomever is there: your lover, your kids, your dog, your cat." | Jo Ledingham, JoLedingham.com

"Lucia Frangione’s Espresso is a pure, generous gift that reduced me to tears. It’s also one of the best arguments for Christianity I’ve encountered... Espresso’s heart is so pure. Nowhere is that more evident than in Frangione’s performance. Vivid and compassionate in every character, she delivers her story with the sincerity of an offering." | Colin Thomas, The Georgia Straight

"The actors are tremendous at playing this multi-character drama. They don and discard personas quickly and with apparent ease. They draw attention to the craft of acting and remind us all people are pretty much the same underneath: human beings in need of love." | Michael Groberman, The Huffington Post

"Frangione’s use of the English language is satisfying and unsettling at the same time. Not too many words, not too few. She uses phrases like “black grace” and “strange mercy” that melt the heart. Her robust rendition of her characters is bittersweet." | Margaret Ritchie, Church of Vancouver

"I saw Espresso in its first incarnation, and it never left me. When I saw you were remounting it in this season I went with my young Italian friend. This play is poetry, and possibly the best indie play I’ve ever seen. It is about such real people, yet Lucia brings out their other-ness; how they are so Italian, and yet so recognizable to us all. It is intimate and universal. I want to know them all, and yet understand why Rosa distanced herself from them until this tragedy. Bravo again and again!" | Ellie O'Day, patron (website comment)

"Frangione’s script is beautifully poetic, mesmerizing in its tone, both touching in it’s quiet moments and intense, driving the story forward like a freight train. At times Rosa breaks the fourth wall and tells us in the audience; this is ‘her story’; and as such we see the entire journey through her eyes. I don’t think it is possible for me to put into words how good this show really is." | Megan Gray, Vancity Buzz

"It is in the relationship between Amante and the women where Frangione finds the spiritual center of her play, using the often times tumultuous relationship we can have with our lovers as a symbol for the equally challenging connection with our gods. At times looking for solace in their arms, or wounded by their seeming indifference to what really matters, Frangione has been able to extract the essence of an often times complex spiritual quest, to a relatable metaphor. But while it all may sound very intellectual, heady and faith-based, Frangione skillfully combines it seamlessly with a humanity that is also surprisingly funny and very real." | Mark Robins, Vancouver Presents

"What a great show; the venue was intimate, the performance engaging and the writing brilliant! We really our enjoyed the whole experience. Thank you." | Pauline Tonkin, patron (Facebook)

"Espresso is well written, directed, and acted, making it a must-see for anyone who’s ever struggled with how to convey their thoughts and beliefs." | MJ Ankenman, Vancouverscape

"The language of this play is so poetic and gorgeously written. That in itself is worth coming to the show. But the storyline will touch you and hook you in, making you wish the intermission were shorter so that you can get right back into the plot." | Alan Woo, Fun Fun Vancouver

"The requisite attentiveness and percipience to this production definitely has its reward. I hope Vancouver theatre-goers don’t have to wait a further eleven years for another taste of Espresso." | John Jane, Review Vancouver

"This show was fantastic! Make time to see this genius in action." | Beth Ringdahl, patron (Facebook)

"The production is assured, sustained by the dynamic between Frangione and Salvador. Stancil Campbell’s set and lighting suited the tone of the play, with its diaphanous curtains echoing both boudoir and hospital bed, and the evocative sight and sound of the set’s rain-spattered window serves as a backdrop." | Clara Kumagai, Prism Magazine

espresso | food quotes

ESPRESSO is sprinkled with mentions of some mouth-watering Italian cuisine. Of course, playwright Lucia Frangione is not stranger to this delicious cooking. Work on a show with her and you are likely to get tastes of all sorts of delicious treats - and the core creative team of ESPRESSO had a special treat: she cooked them a five-course Italian meal, recreating the food described in the show. Here's a peak at some of the food references:

june 2 | my own personal jesus | tim bratton

Tim Bratton does multi-media show-and-tell about growing up evangelical and tacky. You may have caught Tim on stage at Pacific Theatre as Jesus in Godspell, Norman in You Still Can't, or Percy in Wolf at the Door....

My Own Personal Jesus

June 2 @ 7pm
Grandview Calvary Baptist Church


Tim writes...

Have you ever owned a car with a Jesus Fish on it? Can you sing along to the song "Friends are friends forever"? Have you ever been afraid that the rapture happened and you got... left behind?

If you answered yes to any of these questions then chances are you grew up in the same world that I did: the world of evangelical popular culture. My Own Personal Jesus is an intimate history of my own experiences and reflections on growing up in the midst of these evangelical trappings. Part story telling, part history lesson, part multimedia extravaganza, come join me as I try to make some sense out of the more challenging and bizarre forms of my evangelical pop culture past.

espresso | song of solomon

ESPRESSO is inspired in large part by the Song of Songs (or Song of Solomon), a book in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. This is a unique text in the scriptures, as it references no law, wisdom, or teachings of God. Instead it represents the voices of two lovers praising and yearning for each other.  While there are many ways to look at this text, here are some of the most common interpretations and breakdowns. 

Some notes on Song of Songs/Song of Solomon

• The Song of Solomon is often interpreted as an allegory for God’s relationship with his people, especially in Jewish traditions.
• In Christian tradition it is also considered a romantic song celebrating sexual intimacy between husband and wife, as well as an image for Christ as the bridegroom to his Church.
• The original title, Song of Songs, uses the repetition of “songs” as a superlative, showing it as the most beautiful of all songs.
• There is little agreement among scholars about whether there is a unified story or intention from the book, as it is very fragmented and may be written by different authors or about different people.

Structure of the Song of Songs

• Introduction
• names the piece as the Song of Songs and introduces the lovers
• Dialogue between the lovers
• the two lovers speak to each other, offering compliments and flirtations invitations to one another
• The woman addresses the daughters of Jerusalem
• the woman speaks to a group of women she calls the “daughters of Jerusalem”, describing her nighttime search for her lover that turns out to be a dream
• Sighting of a royal wedding procession
• a wedding procession for King Solomon is described
• The man describes the woman
• he describes his lover and her beauty, comparing her to a “locked garden”, and she invites him to enter and eat the fruit
• The woman addresses the daughters of Jerusalem
• again she recounts a dream of seeking her lover to the women, and recounts his attractive features
• The man describes his lover, who visits him
• this part is considered possibly corrupt
• The beauty of the woman is praised
• outsiders praise her
• Appendix
• the woman compares love to death – it is relentless and jealous
