The researchers found that the skills required fall into five clusters, only two of which are self-evidently “creative.” The other three “are not inherently creative and [are] therefore at risk of being overlooked, but … are essential to enabling the creative process.”

Alexander Burdonsky, Russian Stage Director And Stalin’s Grandson, Dead At 75
For 45 years he worked at the People’s Army Theater, the main company for the Soviet and then the Russian armed forces. “Aside from his theater work, Mr. Burdonsky kept a low profile, using his mother’s surname. He said he had never visited Stalin’s grave, by the Kremlin wall.”
Justin Davidson Mulls The Point Of Criticism After NYT Critic Declines To Review Restaurant And Writes About It Anyway
“No critic can know what another diner brings to the table or an audience member to a concert hall, what vicarious joy—or scorn—a reader draws from a review. Which is why I object to one of Pete Wells’s most ringing self-justifications for taking a pass on this particular restaurant: that the people who eat there are the wrong sort.”
The Writers And Directors For ‘I Love Dick’ Are Mostly Female – And The Sex Scenes Are Wilder Because Of It
Showrunner Jill Soloway and several of the show’s actresses, as well as the (male) director of photography, talk about how the different atmosphere on set and in the scripts (yes, including the lack of “the male gaze”) makes everyone willing to take bigger risks.
Director Of Arizona Commission On The Arts Resigns
“Robert Booker led the state Arts Commission through an often challenging period marked by recession-era budget reductions and major shifts in the state’s public policy environment. Nevertheless, under Booker’s leadership, the Arts Commission distinguished itself as one of the state’s most resilient, responsive, fiscally responsible agencies, and one of the nation’s boldest and most innovative state arts agencies.”
The 90-Year-Old Director Of ‘Shoah’ Bluffed His Way Into North Korea – Where He Had Once Had A Lover
Claude Lanzmann told the DPRK authorities that he was shooting a film about tae kwon do – and he kept it up with his ever-present government minders, who believed him. In reality, he was revisiting the scene of an affair some 60 years earlier.
Playwright Threatens Theatre If It Holds Audience Discussions After Performances
During Outvisible’s run of Oleanna, which closed in early April, the creative team (as they apparently do with all of their productions) wanted to host talk back sessions with the audience, who had just seen the show. That was until they received contact from a Dramatists representative, who holds the license to Oleanna, on behalf of David Mamet himself. According to sources they were notified that if they proceeded to have these talk back sessions or ” anything like it were to happen within two hours after the performance, that we would be charged/fined $25,000.”
Chicago Symphony Denies Tenure To Principal Oboe (And Lawyers Are Now Involved)
Alex Klein had been principal oboist at the CSO before – from 1995 to 2004, when he had to resign due to the effects of focal dystonia. After a dozen years of recovery and retooling his technique, Klein re-auditioned for and returned to his old job last year, with the usual two-season probationary period. But the musicians’ tenure review committee and music director Riccardo Muti (who has final say) decided last month not to keep Klein on.
New York City Opera Will Finally Stage The ‘Brokeback Mountain’ Score It Commissioned
“The new group that reorganized City Opera and brought it out of bankruptcy announced Wednesday that it would give Brokeback” – which Gérard Mortier commissioned from composer Charles Wuorinen during that brief period he headed the company before it went bankrupt – “its United States premiere in the spring of 2018, at the end of its second full season back in the business of staging operas.”
Jeff Koons’s ‘Seated Ballerina’ May Have Been, Um, ‘Appropriated’
Koons based the 45-foot-tall inflatable, currently installed at Rockefeller Center in Manhattan, on his 2015 stainless-steel sculpture of the same name. It turns out that both of them bear the proverbial striking resemblance to a porcelain titled Balerina Lenochka by Oksana Zhnikrup and the The Kiev Experimental Ceramic-Art Factory. (A Koons representative has subsequently claimed that he copied Zhnikrup’s work “under license”; no details of this license were provided.)
