Lights, Camera, Kalyn!An interview with Models of the Runway’s star Kalyn Hemphill

BY JONATHAN VALDEZ – Kalyn Hemphill, who

recently became the very first winner of T.V.’s

Models of the Runway, definitely knows how

to strike a pose and work the catwalk. Many

people know her as Model Kalyn Hemphill,

but there is so much more to her. Kalyn has

had a passion for theatre and acting ever

since she performed in The Sound of Music as

the littlest Von Trapp for her local community

theatre when she was just eight years old.

I had the chance to sit with Kalyn in her

hometown of Lake Jackson, Texas where we

talked about her passion for the stage and

New York City.

What lead you to New York City?

I graduated from high school a year early.

I was very driven and always knew that I

wanted to be in the performing arts so, after

graduation, I went to a theatre scholarship in

Colorado. I was the youngest intern ever at 17

years old. After I finished I thought, “What is

my next step?” So I moved to New York and

while I was there, I saw some modeling agen-

cies. One of the agencies really wanted me to

come up for two months to try fashion week.

Things went really well and those two months

turned into three years!

I understand that you have won an acting

award?

In 2009 I auditioned and won the Rodger

Sturtevant Award for equity membership can-

didates. It’s a nationwide competition and

every year the award is given to one male and

one female. I get so much attention for mod-

eling and for winning Models of the Runway,

but it was really nice to be recognized for my

musical theatre accomplishments as well.

Do you have a favorite venue to see a

show in New York City?

I really love the Imperial Theater. I think it’s

just beautiful. I love all the theatres on and

off-Broadway. I just think that all of those

theaters have such character and history. Eve-

ry single one of them has a different feel. I

haven’t seen all of the theaters in New York,

but I’m marking them off of my list one by

one.

You dance as well. Is there a particular

dance company that you are a part of in

the city?

I am not a part of any dance company in New

York, but I take classes regularly at Broadway

Dance Center and Steps, of course. Tap is my

favorite style of dance. I take tap classes all

over New York. Wherever I can take a class

and have some free time, I always go tap.

What draws you to performing?

I think it’s the fact that if you have that pas-

sion, you can’t do anything else. Nothing else

truly fulfills you and that’s what I have missed

this past year. I have done a ton of modeling,

but I haven’t done any shows because I have

not had time. But I miss it so much! When I

am on stage, it’s like nothing else! My heart

is in theatre.

Has your theatre background helped you

work it on the runway as well as taking

pictures?

Oh my gosh, yes! My acting background has

definitely helped me. It’s almost like acting.

Designers have a vision for their line and they

want you to embody that vision. You have

to act and mold yourself into what they’re

wanting. At photo shoots, they will say, “Yell,

scream, be mad!” If you don’t have the per-

sonality or guts to do it, it will show in the

pictures. I don’t think pictures lie.

A producer wants to do a production

about your life. Would it be a play or mu-

sical and who would play you?

Definitely a musical! Without a question. Who

would play me? Hmm, that’s a good one. I

think I would want to play me. I think I am

still young enough to do that!

Also Playing Featured in New Spring SeasonPaul Taylor Dance Company has cause for celebration

BY MERYL CATES – Paul Taylor has been a lot

of things over his 80-year career: a dancer, a pio-

neer, a choreographer, the subject of an Academy

Award nominated documentary, and an icon. His

new works continue to demonstrate an untar-

nished ability to translate movement into works

of art.

Paul Taylor Dance Company’s 2010 season at the

New York City Center (Feb. 24 – March 14) honors

his command of the stage, and serves as an 80th

birthday celebration with programs than span

the wide scope of his repertoire and include two

new works making their New York debuts. Also,

on March 6 all tickets to the matinee performance

will be just $8, as a special birthday gift from

Mr. Taylor.

This season, Also Playing and Brief Encounters

will be making their New York premieres. Also

Playing is a fun tribute to vaudeville dancers. Set

to the operas of Gaetano Donizetti, Taylor parades

the stage with “a true hoofer” (a tap-dancing

horse), a toreador and her easily startled bulls,

a dying swan caught up in her woes, and an in-

spired stagehand.

The other New York premiere, Brief Encounters

will be part of the opening night program at the

City Center. In Mr. Taylor’s ever enduring explo-

ration of music, he has choreographed this new

work to a Debussy score he used in his 1977 work

Images, only this time he utilizes the orchestral

score of “Le Coin des Enfants,” instead of the

one for solo piano. The work focuses on “mo-

mentary connections” rather than “ongoing rela-

tionships.” The programs will include a range of

works exhibiting his creative mastery over decades

of his career from Also Playing (2009) and Brief

Encounters (2009) to Public Domain (1968) and

Scudorama (1963).

Rarely can someone live up to his own genius

time and time again, so this 2010 season at the

City Center is a wonderful way to see how it’s

done.> For a schedule of programs or to

Your Ticket to Fashion WeekDesigner Viktor Luna gives an insider’s perspective on fashion

BY LISA LEEKING – With all the excitement—

and tall waify women—that Fashion Week

brings to New York each year, many of us

never get to experience first hand what hap-

pens inside the tents. But like any good NY

celebration, there are always underground

events featuring hot up-and-coming talent.

One designer partaking in these is Viktor

Luna. Recently we discussed his line and the

fashion scene.

Tell me about your new Fall/Winter 2010

creation.

They’re a take-off on my Spring/Summer 2010

collection—couture, limited edition and spe-

cial order, edgy with a bit of classicism. You

can see this in my dresses, jackets, skirts and

leggings, which can either be layered or worn

on their own. The pieces have a lot of volume

to the fabric and a concentration in intricate

details and beading—youthful, edgy, and

sophisticated elements that I seek in the Viktor

Luna brand.

What’s the overall look that you’re going

for?

I designed this collection based on the premise

of how women are taking a lot of risk in fash-

ion nowadays and that they’re not afraid of

expressing themselves with clothing. I use

synthetic fabrics and some silk canvas-y tex-

tures to shape my garments, in my signature

colors: black, white and grays.

Any prediction as to where fashion is

headed?

I think that the fashion scene is inspired by

the approach of “2012.” I see designers push-

ing the envelope and the public is responding

in the same way—with a sense of immediacy.

Everyone is wearing fabulous clothing and

wearing it well. It is the “not knowing what’s

going to happen next,” that is making eve-

ryone live life and enjoy it. At least I know I

am!> To attend Viktor’s Fashion Show at

Finding Fela! in the FabricCostume and set design with Marina Draghici

BY SARAH SHANOK – Costume and set designer

Marina Draghici has worked behind the scenes at

the Public Theater, New York City Opera, Paris

National Opera, in TV, and in film, including

the 2009 drama, Precious, but moves into the

spotlight for her eye-catching Fela! creations. The

Romanian-born costumer joined the fledgling

project during its second workshop, at the request

of long-time collaborator, choreographer Bill T.

Jones.

Fela! tells the tale of Nigerian revolutionary and

Afrobeat musician, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti (1938 –

1997), condensing the life of the sexually charged,

self-proclaimed, Black President into three acts.

“Fela had clothes in every color on Earth made

in Lagos; every shade of purple, pink, yellow,”

inspiring Draghici to create a unique color-scheme

for each act. Draghici chose patterned turquoise

blue and salmon pink for Acts I and II respectively,

highlighting Sahr Ngaujah and Kevin Mambo,

who alternate in the demanding title role, on

the stage.

Draghici had limited experience designing for

dance, so she surrounded herself with people who

did, borrowing inspiration from Jones. “Painting

at night on walls, I’ll watch Bill’s choreography,

and add a costume or change a detail, rework

the functionality of a costume or its movement. I

take into account the dancers’ body type, energy,

temperament and emphasize everyone’s best

feature,” perpetually tweaking costumes based

on dancer feedback.

Designing danceable, washable and durable

costumes can be difficult. Costumes originally

made in heavy, stretch twill had to be dry cleaned,

which “messes up the costumes...they come

back two shades less.” Now “the costumes

are comfortable, wash well, and dry fast,”—

convenient for the wardrobe department who

washes each by hand, after every performance.

Fitting presidential treatment for the first Black

Ladysmith Black MambazoSouth Africa’s cultural ambassadors arrive

BY SARAH SHANOK – South African

a-cappella troupe Ladysmith Black Mambazo

trilled their way into the mainstream, lending

their distinct sound to Paul Simon’s Grace-

land in 1986, appearing on “Sesame Street”

singing the Zulu alphabet with Kermit, col-

laborated with Stevie Wonder and the late

Michael Jackson and Nelson Mandela declared

them “South Africa’s cultural ambassadors.”

As youngsters rediscover the magic of

Graceland, thanks comparisons to rock

groups like Vampire Weekend, they fortu-

nately encounter Ladysmith, beginning their

world music education. In 2010, the nine-man

group furthers that education, sturdily stand-

ing alone and bringing their traditional music

to 41 U.S. cities, including two nights in New

York!

Ladysmith’s immediately recognizable sig-

nature style, isicathamiya—a harmonious,

muted blending of traditional Zulu mbube, a

cappella singing, and movement—originated

amongst South African miners far from home,

who sang together late nights.

Joseph Shabalala formed Ladysmith around

this music in 1964, entering them in local isi-

cathmiya competitions. He named the group

after his home city Ladysmith, and mambazo,

the Zulu word for axe, hoping to chop down

the other performers. Their memorable per-

formances won so often, it resulted in the

group being banned from the competitions.

Their 2009 Grammy-winning album, Ilembe:

Honoring Shaka Zulu, refers to the legendary

Zulu leader as “The Greatest Warrior.” Two

hundred years after his death they are, “trying

to remind people of the importance of what

this man did.” According to Shabalala, “There

are still many people who need to be filled

with the spirit of unity and hope that Shaka

embodied.” > Feb 3rd at Highline Ballroom, 431 W.

DINING

BY LISA LEEKING – I don’t consider myself lazy;

it’s just that I prefer to stay near subway lines

when there’s snow on the ground. While focusing

on restaurants between Ft. Greene/Clinton Hill

and the West Village, I have discovered a new,

intimate date-perfect restaurant and a gourmet

grocery store to pick up items when I feel like

cooking my own dinner.

An intimate cellar that’s outfitted with an 1890s

bar in the front and a classy restaurant just past

the open kitchen galley called Bar Henry (90 W.

Houston St., 646-448-4559, www.Barhenry.com)

was my first stop. Bar Henry is a hidden gem

that serves skillfully prepared bistro fare. Details

like red velvet chairs and copper ceiling evoke

the magic of old New York. Its chef Christian

Ortiz’s interpretation of bistro fare that makes the

menu spectacular. The pan-seared salmon was

delightfully mild with its crunchy crust. Served

over a bed of Basmati rice and a delicious sauce, I

almost didn’t want to share.

Enhancing our dining experience was wine con-

sultant John Slover’s (Blue Hill) ability to match our

tastes with a European selection. The extensive list

of rare and well-priced bottles can be overwhelm-

ing, so half bottles can be purchased for just half

the price of the bottle. Whether you visit for

an after-work drink or a multi-course meal, Bar

Henry whisks you away to a time and place that

once was, but can still be enjoyed today!

En route home I popped into my neighbor-

hood standby, the General Greene (229 DeKalb

Ave. 718-222-1510), to visit its recent addition, a

gourmet grocery store. Hoping to pick up ingre-

dients to pair with a salmon dinner, I bought a jar

of Virginia sun-ripened dried tomatoes and some

old fashioned mustard to enhance my salad. I

didn’t leave without getting a container of the

restaurant’s tasty red quinoa, seasoned with lime,

walnuts and mint.
