From the Editor: Welcome to the April, 2000 issue of the Arts4All Newsletter. Improvisation informs so much of the arts and arts education that we wanted to call attention to a few of the myriad ways it influences us all. See a gallery of imaginary scenes and creatures while learning about the struggle between visual art and the photograph, when it was first introduced. Invite a young person to explore with you a story only partly built - waiting for a collaborator to finish it and add the illustrations. Learn how dancers, instrumentalists and actors can make their art more freely using the Alexander Technique, as embodied in the poised spontaneity of a master teacher. Our correspondents send in dispatches with the latest on an important art show; a happy experiment in collaborative, free painting; the inside story from an actor who improvises every chance he gets; and three movies illuminating the human spirit, from Europe and the Middle East. Hit the web with a short list of top arts sites that bring something extra to the mix, and muse on the role of "borrowing" - or is that "appropriation" or maybe "copying"? - to the creative process. We summarize here comments received recently from Newsletter readers. To see what other readers added to our list of children's book titles; and some websites; plus opinions, wishlists, and a fan letter to Yatri and her glass armonica, look no further. (And then share your own thoughts with us, if you like.) AMC |

a Distance: An Interview with Rita Wissinger |
The Dance of the String Quartets: An Interview with Jane Kosminsky by Nancy K. Ford and Alberta Moraine Our intrepid correspondents use every means available - telephone, subway, fax, Internet - to learn about a renowned teacher of the Alexander Technique, and why her students love her. They wonder how seemingly vague poetry and metaphor can change artists' lives for the better in such practical, real ways. |

Memos from the World: Nirvana Takes a Holiday - The Whitney Biennial 2000 by Therese Schwartz Our own Therese Schwartz goes to the Millennial Biennial with a press pass and an open mind. She
looks back; she looks at the present. She compares and
contrasts. Paint Club - Not Just Pretty Pictures by Anna Roxas A revolution in the making? A night out jammin with painter friends and acquaintances? A
redefinition of "art" and "artist"? New Movies: Journeys - Forward and Back by Michael Nicolella In
movies from Turkey, Iran and Germany, filmmakers open up the
space-time continuum, illuminating questions of history,
reality, memory, society. Improv - The Invisible Part of the Play by John Koprowski Our
correspondent tells all: how actors and directors use
improvisation all over the place - before and even during
the performances. |
