If so, tell us about it.</strong> I was most certainly a theater kid, but always backstage, I’ve never felt any desire to be onstage. I was incredibly lucky in that I went to a private high school that had an amazing theater program, whose director also ran a network of 13 children’s theater programs all over California. One weekend, I would be in Marina Del Rey living in a beach house working on <em>Oliver</em>, and the next weekend, I could be in Napa, Poway, or Santa Clarita doing something totally different on a different show. I met so many amazing people, many of whom are still some of my best friends. </p> <p><strong>Favorite play performed at 91ֱ��?</strong> To date, I would say <a href="https://flic.kr/s/aHskNs4kmC" target="_blank"><em>Cabaret</em></a> because it was the first show in the new <a href="/irene-and-alan-wurtzel-theater" target="_blank">Irene and Alan Wurtzel Theater</a>.</p> <p><strong>Favorite childhood memory?</strong> I’m a huge baseball fan, so one of my favorites is easily my first trip to Fenway Park on September 1, 1983. The Sox got blown out 11 - 0 by the Twins, but I got to see Carl Yastrzemski play one of his last games before retiring. </p> <p><strong>Hobbies?</strong> Running; noodling around on the bass, drums, or guitar; woodworking; hanging out with my kids or traveling.</p> <p><strong>Favorite quote or personal philosophy?</strong> You can have anything you want, you just can’t have everything.</p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">Campus News</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2021-12-20T12:00:00Z">Mon, 12/20/2021 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Yvonne Gay</div> <div class="text-content field field--name-field-intro-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p>What were you doing on September 1, 1983?

I am also administrator of THEA 199, which is the production crew for all dance and theater productions.</p> <p><strong>How many years at 91ֱ��?</strong> 11+</p> <p><strong>What do you like most about the theater?</strong> I like theater as a venue for telling stories that illustrate history for social transformation or just for entertainment.</p> <p><strong>Have you always wanted a career in theater?</strong> When did the theater bug hit you? I came to theater through dance, which I developed a passion for while in college at San Francisco State University.</p> <p><strong>Have you acted or assisted in any plays here or elsewhere?</strong> I had some minor roles in <em>South Pacific</em> and <em>Bells are Ringing</em> while in high school, and I took some acting classes in college but, personally, I’m more interested in technical theatre than performance.</p> <p><strong>Favorite play?</strong> I don’t have a single favorite of anything that stays a favorite for all times. However, the first play I attended was <em>Man of La Mancha</em>. It appealed to my teenage sense of idealism. It is not THE favorite but it is A favorite.</p> <p><strong>Favorite place in 91ֱ�� and why?</strong> The athletic fields because my dogs love to fetch lacrosse balls, and the Feve for the beer.</p> <p><strong>Favorite childhood memory?</strong> Hiking the Appalachian Trail.</p> <p><strong>Best vacation ever?</strong> A working vacation [that included] riding my bicycle around Ireland while researching ancient and modern Celtic dance.</p> <p><strong>Any recent achievements you would like to tell us about?</strong> I adopted an 8-week-old Bordoodle in March. She is a constant revelation and joy.</p> <p><strong>Hobbies?</strong> Following the San Francisco Giants, 49ers, and Warriors; digital photography; and lately, training my dog.</p> <p><strong>Favorite food?</strong> Depends on the day, the time and the location.

There is no repetition which makes it seem as if you're starting over from scratch each time.</p> <p><strong>What are your top three set builds at 91ֱ��?</strong> <em>Eurydice</em> (which I also appeared as an actor), <em>Street Scene</em>, and <em>Reefer Madness</em>.</p> <p><strong>What have been your most difficult designs?</strong> <a href="https://flic.kr/s/aHsk8bWxT8" target="_blank"><em>Street Scene</em></a> was very challenging as we built each part of the building separately to allow the painters to do their work, and then once painted, we put it all together which was incredibly challenging. But in the end it all came together.</p> <p><strong>What has building for film (because of COVID-19) been like for you?</strong> Is it different from building for a live audience? This past year I assembled four recording "booths" for our radio play <a href="https://flic.kr/s/aHsmS3UAVY" target="_blank"><em>The Misanthrope</em></a>. A green screen wall for our Zoom play <em>Fires in the Mirror</em>. And finally a set for <em>Twilight Bowl</em> which was filmed. Nothing was remarkably different than building a set for a live audience. One always wants as much detail on the set as possible, and if you had a chance to view <em>Twilight Bowl</em> maybe you saw all the set dressing.</p> <p><strong>What will you enjoy most about having a live audience in the theater again?</strong> Having a live audience is why I do theater. Getting that energy from the audience is unlike seeing a film. You know if they're with you or not. There is an excitement when the audience comes into the space, and more often than not can see the stage in a dimly lit glow. I find as an audience member I'm taking in the space and looking at the details. It brings me joy.</p> <p><strong>Hobbies?</strong> I am going to pick up my guitar again. </p> <p><strong>Nickname(s)?</strong> None that I know of. Sometimes my ears burn around certain people so they might have coined a phrase or two.</p> <p><strong>Favorite song?</strong> Too many, but most would be filled by the works of Bob Dylan (a personal hero).</p> <p><strong>Favorite food?</strong> My husband Matthew's cooking</p> <p><strong>Favorite movie?</strong> <em>Harold and Maude</em></p> <p><strong>Favorite quote?</strong> “When you ain't got nothing, you've got nothing to lose,” by Bob Dylan.</p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">Campus News</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2021-06-17T12:00:00Z">Thu, 06/17/2021 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Yvonne Gay</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2551">Staff</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-programs field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?program=32971">Opera Theater</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?program=25441">Theater</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?program=25331">Dance</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-departments field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/theater" hreflang="und">Theater</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/dance" hreflang="und">Dance</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-caption field--type-string-long field--label-hidden field__item">David Bugher, assistant technical director of theater.</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-pin-school-page field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">Off</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-photo-gallery-top field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">false</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-credit field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Bryan Rubin '18</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-media field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Who is Julian Abramof ’12?</h1> <p>ygay — Thu, 25 Mar 2021 15:25:09 +0000</p> <span>Who is Julian Abramof ’12?</span> <span><span>ygay</span></span> <span><time datetime="2021-03-25T11:25:09-04:00" title="Thursday, March 25, 2021 - 11:25">Thu, 03/25/2021 - 11:25</time> </span> <div class="text-content field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>If you attended a theater, dance, or opera performance at 91ֱ�� College, you may have interacted with Julian Abramof ’12, but did you know he is a gamer after hours?

A peek inside reveals a tiny world of paper sculptures and hand-drawn mountains and trees.</p> <p>“This is mostly spring semester work from the first half of my introduction to scene design class,” explains Laura Carlson-Tarantowski, scenic designer and lecturer in the theater department. “The class focuses largely on the creative process used to develop three-dimensional models. We explore all the steps [of the process], paying particular attention to developing and communicating visual ideas inspired by the themes and content of a text.”</p> <p>With nearly one dozen theater and opera productions held at 91ֱ�� College each year, there are many opportunities for students to take part in the process. Student workers can be found in the scene, paint, and costume shops, as well as with sound and lighting.</p> <div class="obj-center"> <figure class="captioned-image"> <figcaption>Three-dimensional models for the set of <em>Butterflies are Free</em> (top left and right); rendering (bottom left); and the 2019 stage production (bottom right). Set models and rendering by Laura Carslon-Tarantowski.</figcaption> </figure> </div> <p>Carlson-Tarantowski has designed more than 20 sets since coming to 91ֱ�� in 2016. Prior to joining the department she was responsible for 20-plus large-scale musicals at Dobama Theater, Beck Center for the Performing Arts, Cesear’s Forum, and Cain Park. The <a href="https://flic.kr/s/aHsmNL1yMY" target="_blank">sets designed</a> for productions at 91ֱ�� range from sophisticated levels and platforms to small neighborhoods complete with residential fronts and porches built to scale. All this work reflects the collective efforts of the director, designer, artist, painters, carpenters, and costume and lighting departments, who start on these projects six months in advance.</p> <figure class="captioned-image obj-left"> <figcaption>Anton Crooks, assistant technical director and master electrician in the Department of Theater and Dance, makes lighting adjustments (left) while students and theater staff work with the set (right) for the production of <em>All’s Well That Ends Well</em>. Photo credit: Jennifer Manna</figcaption> </figure> <p>“The process begins with the text and the director’s point of view. Analysis of the script, inspirational images, period research, and conceptual ideas are collected and discussed and eventually become the visual language for the production,” explains Carlson-Tarantowski, who will often create several different versions of a set or part of a set in model form so that she, the design team, and the director can better visualize the ramifications of different choices. </p> <p>“As ideas firm up, the set designer creates color sketches that suggest how the set might look when painted and furnished and finally, scale technical drawings are produced,” she continues. “The technical director will then take those drawings and interpret and adjust them for the carpenters in the scene shop and oversee the building process. Budgeting is a big part of the design process. We have to take into consideration the cost of a set in terms of materials, time, and labor well before actual construction begins.”</p> <figure class="captioned-image obj-right"> <figcaption>Joseph Natt works on the set of <em>Pericles</em>. Photo credit: Yevhen Gulenko</figcaption> </figure> <p>This is where Joseph Natt, senior technical director of theater, opera, and dance comes in. </p> <p>Natt uses the drawings and 3D model that the set designer creates to price building materials. In order to make the cost of the set fit within the budget, adjustments to the design may be made. Once the budget is reconciled, and scenic elements are prioritized, construction begins. Set construction is typically completed in about six weeks.</p> <figure class="captioned-image obj-left"> <figcaption>The 2014 stage production of <em>Pericles</em>. Photo credit: Yevhen Gulenko</figcaption> </figure> <p>All of the technical elements of the production are brought together with the actors in dress rehearsal during “tech week,” where the theater team can take notes for adjustments and make finishing touches to the set. </p> <p>Many of the sets that are designed and constructed in the theater department present their own challenges. The two that stand out for Natt was the 2013 production of <em>Die Fledermaus</em>, which required the development of multiple sets. The other was the 2015 production of <em>Street Scene</em>. </p> <p>“We ended up building a multi-floor apartment building with a main door, center stairwell, and below-street-level apartments,” recalls Natt. “It was covered in brick, had large crown molding, windows that opened and closed, and was divided into several different apartments. We framed it and constructed it as you would a real house. It was very large and it took a lot of hours and material to construct.”</p> <div class="obj-center"> <figure class="captioned-image"> <figcaption><em>Street Scene</em>. Photo credit: John Seyfried</figcaption> </figure> </div> <p>Construction projects can also overlap, particularly in the fall, when crews are finishing the build for the annual opera and starting technical rehearsals, while at the same time building the set for the fall theater production. But these are all challenges that come with the world of theater. </p> <p>“I always like working with my hands,” says Natt. “When I was growing up, I was always helping my dad work on cars and other things. Then when I went to school at Kent State University and got a degree in set design and technology, I realized that I was more interested in figuring out how to build and construct designs than designing them. So I enjoy carpentry in a more basic sense. I am not one to build you a beautiful rocking chair, but rather, build you the room for you to sit in and enjoy that rocking chair. Obviously seeing the final set constructed and seeing it as the designer and the director envisioned it gives me a sense of pride.</p> <p>“I think if any or all of the elements can pull the audience in and they forget that they are sitting in the theater, our job is complete. So for set carpenters, if we can build the scenery the way the designer and director intended, then the audience will be drawn in.”</p> <p>The collaborative nature of theater design and the excitement of seeing ideas come to life is something Carlson-Tarantowski enjoys. She plans to teach Scene Design II in the spring and welcomes students interested in scenic design to contact her for opportunities in and outside of the classroom. </p></div> <div class="field
