The Lunchbox Interview: Anna Mathis (Fabric Artist)

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

LunchBox-2016ArtistsInResidence-AnnaMathisIn most art, the sense of touch is not nearly as appreciated as in creating works of cloth..

During the summer, the Fredericton Arts Alliance brings a pair of artists together in the Barracks to practice their art for all to see. These artists come from a wide variety of disciplines, from painting and sculpture to basket-weaving and writing. As each pair of artists comes in, we’ll be talking to them on the Lunchbox.

My guest today is Anna Mathis, someone who truly works with her hands. She is demonstrating one of her passions at the Barracks this week, the craft of turning raw wool into felt, that is in turn transformed into wearable or sculptural art. We talked about the processes of transformation for wool that she explores, how she works with it, and what she creates.

Exclusive News Regarding WWE Creative

Posted on by Posted in Against The Mat!

By Drew McConnell

As of December 2015, WWE has had a “Managing Lead Writer” (actual job title) by the name of Tom Casiello. Casiello comes from the soap opera world where he won an Emmy Award for outstanding writing for the show “Young and the Restless” in 2011, and 2 more Emmys while writing for “As the World Turns” in 2001 & 2002. He also has a writer’s guild award for “outstanding achievement in daytime episodic writing” in 2010. And between 2006 & 2008 he was “Associate Head Writer” for Days of Our Lives.

He actually first started with WWE as a writer in April 2011. He eventually worked his way into being the lead writer for the NXT: Redemption show between September 2011 until May 2012. In October of 2012 he was given the job as lead writer for Main Event, a position he would hold until September 2014, when he would leave the company to be a freelance writer.

He would work casually with WWE during that time, often going to tapings when needed, on a freelance basis. He returned to the company full time in December with the new “managing lead writer” position. His duties include overseeing the writing teams for Raw & Smackdown, as well as some WWE Network shows, WWE Publications, and also works on long term stories throughout the year. Insert your own joke there. He also oversees the scripts for all weekly TV shows.

Run For Your Life! – the psychobilly rock show of zombie sharks
On today’s episode, we play a bunch of new music of stuff that isn’t out yet – but you can get it just like I did by going on Bandcamp and giving artists money. Or go out to their shows and give them money directly. They like it when you do that!

We also engage in wordplay and it’s terrible and for that, I apologize. But the music is good.
That one fan who likes the talk more than music.. I’m so confused. I really am.

Playlist:
The Pack AD – Fair Enough
Brand New – Mene
The Cliks – Dirty King
Careers In Science – When We Have Money
School Damage – 8 More Days
Tsunami Bomb – No Good Very Bad Day / … Not Forever
Beneath the Grid Music – Blaine the Mono – Capsize
Lionsault – High Stakes
Långfinger – Feather Beader
Bloody Diamonds – Toxic
Stitched Up Heart – Catch Me When I Fall

LunchBox-2016ArtistsInResidence-JenniferMcInnisWhartonTo touch the earth and mold it to your vision is to combine the Earth of the present with a tradition that goes back millennia..

These artists come from a wide variety of disciplines, from painting and sculpture to basket-weaving and writing. As each pair of artists comes in, we’ll be talking to them on the Lunchbox.

Jennifer McInnis-Wharton is a student attending the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design (NBCCD), where she has devoted her studies to the art of pottery. She joins me to talk about the structural explorations she’s considering, the joy of talking to kids about pottery, and just how much fire can be involved when making art. You can see some of her work in the student gallery currently exhibited at NBCCD.

The Lunchbox Interview: Lisa Ann Ross (A Record Of Us)

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

LunchBox-LisaAnnRoss-ARecordOfUsTheatre gives us a distorted mirror to reflect upon ourselves, our culture and our communities — and often those distortions are more real than real life..

My guest today is Lisa Ann Ross, co-founder of the physical theatre company Solo Chicken Productions. Over the last two years, they’ve been working with several local actors to transform the words and ideas of celebrated local author David Adams Richards into a production for the stage. They’ve completed the production, and will be performing A Record Of Us as the feature presentation with this year’s Notable Acts Theatre Festival. It will be performed at The Playhouse from July 20 through 23rd. She joins me to recap where this project has come from, the transformations her actors and company has made to the text, and the exciting elements of the intimate reversed-stage presentation at The Playhouse.
