New Additions at The Watermill Center

Some exciting things have happened at The Watermill Center this year, namely the new entrance and the new location of the Clementine Hunter African House!  The Africa House was first built for the occasion of the 20th Annual Summer Benefit, which commemorated the work of painter Clementine Hunter.

My relationship to Clementine Hunter has grown and evolved through much of my life, culminating in my production of Zinnias: The Life of Clementine Hunter, which premiered at Montclair University, New Jersey in early 2013 and most recently in Lyon, France in June 2014.

Come see all the work that has been done at The Watermill Center!

RHINOCEROS by Eugene Ionesco

I am very proud of the work we did at the Teatrul Naţional Craiova (Romania), near the birthplace of Eugène Ionesco . The actors were truly amazing, among the best I have ever worked with in my life! 

It will play in repertory during the next year with plans for tours. Many of the young participants from The Watermill Center Summer Program 2013 were involved in this production. My assistant Julian Mommert together with Adi Bulboaca took these photos.

Monteverdi's 'L'Incoronazione di Poppea' at the Palais Garnier

We premieredThe Coronation of Poppea at the Palais Garnier last night!

The scenery was operated beneath the stage with robs and wooden wheels that were designed by Garnier in 1876. The numerous technicians did a superb job for a very complex opera in 37 scenes and 3 1/2 hours long! BRAVO to them and all the performers. 

The costumes by Jacques Reynauld are baroque in design and are stupendous.  May it have a long life!
