One-person productions are typically autobiographical: the performer teaches the audience about themself, as themself. But this seemingly “direct” approach is often not actually revealing, where an artist performs a ritualized series of autobiographical anecdotes that fit into the form’s genre conventions. In touring production Frida…a self-portrait, now playing at Union Arts Center, the artist subverts the one-person show form by adding a layer, indirectly telling the story of the performer through the experiences of another artist: the surrealist portraitist Frida Kahlo. This new show asks, can we better understand one artist by telling the story of another?

Prior to seeing the production of Downhill the Play, I had the pleasure of sitting down with the play's star, Orlando native, Mr. CeeJay Joseph. On the day of the interview, it was his birthday.  

Jihye Lee’s 13-piece big band opened its second of two sets at The JAI in La Jolla with an original she called “Why Is That.” She explained the title in a 2024 Jazz Times interview. “I started out writing a simple blues tune, but it didn’t go well. … Why Is That? Why can’t I do that?” Since she’s asked, I’ll take a stab at answering. Lee was raised in Korea and graduated from a Korean University with a major in voice performance. After graduation, she sang locally as an Indie-K-pop singer. She had little or no experience with the blues or jazz before moving to the U.S. to attend the Berklee School of music in Boston where she began training as a jazz arranger/composer because registrations were closed for the classical, sound track and pop equivalents she’d planned to choose from.
