- Nov 13, 2014
'The light side of art and film' is the theme for the 2014 Artlightenment festival which will take place this weekend, Nov 13-15 at the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre Nashville. The festival will showcase underwater photographer Christy Lee Rogers, actress and filmmaker Carla Christina Contreras, celebrity photographer Raeanne Rubenstein, screenwriter Annie Kananack, and fashion designer Elisabeth Donaldson of Monarch Clothing. Each is bringing a unique element to the show and will deliver a special presentation during the festival.
Underwater photographer Christy Lee Rogers will deliver a seminar prior to the show titled 'Making a Career as an Artist,' on Nov 13. Rogers' work has been described as, '...undeniably contemporary yet also timeless,' by writer Duncan Beebe for Eyemazing Magazine. Rogers' seminar will be followed by Carla Christina Contreras with her seminar 'Secrets to a Long and Successful Acting Career.' Contreras was born and raised in Hollywood and has been acting since the age of three.
On Nov 14, celebrity photographer Raeanne Rubenstein will deliver a talk on 'The Funny Side of Art and Film,' which echoes the central theme of the 2014 Artlightenment showcase. Rubenstein has worked with some of the biggest names in movies, music and pop culture such as Andy Warhol, French director Francois Truffaut and iconic singers Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison, among others.
Screenwriter Annie Kananack will deliver the workshop 'From Screenplay to Big Screen,' on Nov 15 to encourage future screenwriters. Kananack says, 'I am most alive and fulfilled when I'm writing,' and takes her inspiration from the films of the 30s and 40s as they are very character driven.
The seminars have been an integral part of the festival since its inception, where successful artists pass on their knowledge to others. Robyn Morshead is founder of the annual art show. An artist and filmmaker herself, she gears the event toward the advancement of every artist and filmmaker who participates or attends.
The festival will take place Nov 13-15 at the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre Nashville, 1130 8th Ave S, and all are welcome. For more information, visit artlightenment.com.
BWW Blog: Ed Dixon of Pittsburgh Public Theater's L'HOTEL - Getting Closer

Tuesday, November 4
Started the day REALLY early with packing. They're moving me to housing right next to the theater. The Pennsylvanian is a lovely place but it's a HIKE and the weather is about to turn cold, so I'm really glad to be getting closer to work. After the move we did some trouble areas of the play and tightened the up considerably. Then I did an interview with Bill O'Driscoll from the City Paper. Forgot to mention, I did interviews with Sharon of the Post-Gazette and Alice Carter from the Tribune last week. Both were very enjoyable. We did a run through in the afternoon and it was the first time the first act had come together. The show is an ensemble piece so almost the entire cast is onstage all the time. This means everyone has to be on their toes ALL THE TIME or cues will be missed. This was the first time everyone kept the ball in the air for the entire first act. The second act wasn't as fortunate… one step at a time.

Tuesday, October 28
We started the new week with the top of act two. We sat around and read it. We've started doing this in comfy chairs in a circle rather than around a table and it's very intimate. Then we started at the top. Everyone's on stage from the beginning and it's so marvelous to see how at this point, everyone is really inside the characters so it goes really quickly in a kind of short hand. We got all the way up to the "eleven o'clock number" moment of the second act and quit there.
