Audience Interview with Mark Cohn
Singer/songwriter Marc Cohn was nominated for an American Music Award in 1991. That same year he received a Grammy for Best New Artist. In 1992, he was back at the Grammy Awards nominated for Pop Male Vocalist with his song “Walking in Memphis.” He didn’t get the Grammy, but he did meet Bonnie Raitt, an artist who was to become a friend and mentor. That year they toured the southern hemisphere together and now they’re back with a U.S. tour that features songs from Cohn’s new album. Listening Booth 1970 is a collection of that year’s popular songs ranging from J. J. Cale’s “After Midnight” to “No Matter What” by the Brit rock band Badfinger. I spoke with Marc by telephone from his home in New York City, where he lives with his wife and two younger children. I began by asking what it was about the year 1970 that inspired him above all of the other fifty-two years of his life…Read More

Interview with Mary Giotinno, Associate Choreographer, "Billy Elliot the Musical"
Based on the 2000 Academy Award-nominated film of the same title, Billy Elliot the Musical is the story of a young boy from a depressed working-class mining town in the North of England. Set during the 1984 miners’ strike, a seminal moment in British history, the show follows Billy, the youngest child of a blue-collar family, as he discovers his extraordinary gift for ballet. While Billy’s father and brother take to the picket lines, Billy secretly begins to study the art of dance with the help of a hard-drinking, chain-smoking local dance teacher. But as Billy thrives, the lives around him wither – and his only escape may be the prestigious Royal Ballet School, a place no working-class boy has ever gone, or been allowed to go, before.

Interview with Dan Fedie, Louisville Ballet Costume Master
Interview by Scott Dowd
Creating any piece of performance art is a series of collaborations usually motivated by the vision of one individual. In the case of ballet, that lead is provided by the choreographer who works with the dancers to physically and emotionally tell a story. The choreographer and artistic director bring together teams of designers whose creativity establishes mood, time and place, enhances focus, and extends the emotional impact of the performance.
