E D U C AT I O N

by MATT STOLLE by ANDREW LINK

Here’s a simple truth: Going back to school is not for the faint-hearted.

Adult learners are not the sponges they used to be. I am not the sponge I used to be. I was

reminded of that recently when I took a two-hour art lesson in drawing. �e idea was to send a 507 Magazine reporter back to school, even if it was for a single day or just a couple of hours.

With the first day of school just around the corner, what a great way to celebrate the spirit of lifelong learning. It seemed like a great idea.

It wasn’t. At least not for me. My two-hour drawing lesson reinforced

some hard and immutable facts about learning.

1. Learning is hard, particularly if you’re trying pick up something entirely new, like drawing a picture or learning a foreign language. And if you haven’t drawn or done anything particularly artistic in your life, there is probably a reason for that. You aren’t very good. You already know that. I couldn’t even draw a rectangle, for Pete’s sake.

2. �at doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try, just be realistic. No one learns anything in two hours. If you do decide to persevere - and persevering is good - take a drawing class by Rochester Community Education teacher Kathy Litwin. Litwin was my infinitely patient drawing instructor during my lesson.

Litwin’s skill is making a person believe that there is a budding Michelango inside. It’s what all good teachers do. It didn’t matter how inadequate my artistic efforts, how amateurish my scribblings or doodlings, Litwin was always heaping praise on my work. “Before you stand, you must crawl, and before you draw, you must scribble,” she said.

3. Don’t get too disillusioned if things don’t go the way you imagined. Even if it feels like a disaster. �ere is a mindset to learning. And in the artificial bubble that Litwin created, all things seemed possible.

Early on, Litwin emphasized the value of seeing life, not just looking at it. Looking is passive. Seeing is active. When you are actually seeing an object like an artist does, you are becoming aware of its size, shape, value and hue. Even if you can’t draw like an artist, you can still see like one.

“Drawing is a skill set just like playing the piano,” she said at one point, perhaps in reaction to my evident desire to crumple up my drawing. “You can’t sit down after two lessons and play like Mozart,” she said. “Or putting on a pair of skis. If you never been on skis, you don’t want to go off a cliff.”

4. We all like to think of ourselves as having hidden talents just waiting to be discovered. But for many of us, we could spend a lifetime looking for that nugget of artistic talent and come up empty-handed. Yet Litwin had a way of turning a phrase that could apply to life as well as art.

“You need to have joy in the learning, so pick out what you’re doing right. And when you find something you don’t like, be amazed that you figured out you didn’t like it,” Litwin said. “And change it.”

So despite my crankiness, I did learn a few things.

What I learned while trying to learnA R T L E S S O N S

“You need to have joy in the learning,

so pick out what you’re doing right.

And when you find something you don’t

like, be amazed that you figured out you

didn’t like it. And change it.”

BEGINNING ADULT FENCING

INTRODUCTION TO SNOWSHOEING

VOLLEYBALL FITNESS

WILDFLOWERS

DANCING

If you already have the right amount of physical activity in your life, don’t forget that Rochester Community Education has dozens of offerings that are

more mental. Finances, technology, culture, food/cooking, languages… the list goes on. Scope it out at rochesterce.org

“Commitment and dedication are

the only requirements,” the course

description says, adding that you can

master techniques and skills “at your

own pace.” All equipment is provided.

10 sessions, starting Sept. 27.

If you can stand up independently on

skates, you have the prerequisite to take

this course from the staff of the Rochester

Figure Skating Club. �ree sets of sessions

are scheduled (starting Sept. 16, Oct.

28 and Jan. 6) with varying numbers of

weeks.

Bump, set and spike in open sessions of

two hours weekly. Intermediate players

compete Mondays Sept. 19-Jan. 30,

advanced players on Wednesdays from

Sept. 14 to Jan. 25. No instruction, but

there is supervision.

Rochester Community Education has

several yoga classes and one in beginning

T’ai Chi Chih, plus offerings in aquatic

exercise, pilates and zumba. Check their

website to see which one is best for you.

OK, not so active but it’s outdoors

at what sometimes is the best time

of year (Sept. 24) to be outdoors.

�e Zumbro Valley Audubon

Society and Oxbow Park team

up to show participants a slide

presentation, followed by a trek on

the trails to see them in person.

You don’t have to be Derek Hough to

enjoy dancing or its benefits of fitness,

stress relief and flat-out fun. �e RCE

program has several kinds of dance,

ranging from hip hop to ballet and, yes,

belly dancing.

If you can’t beat winter, join it by learning

a fun activity in the wintry outdoors. �is

is a one-time class (Sat., Jan. 7, 8:30 to

10 a.m.) at Quarry Hill that includes an

introduction to snowshoeing, then use of

a pair to go try it.

As the calendar turns to September and the temperatures turn

cooler, the opportunities for physical activities grow.

Many people turn to their tried-and-true favorites for the

fall (and winter, hate to say it, but that’s not so far off).

But if you want to try something different, how do you get

started? One good way is to check out the Rochester Community

Education program.

Here are a few of the offerings in their September-January

catalog. If you’re interested, go to rochesterce.org/register for more

information or to sign up (disclaimer: the catalog has been out a

couple of weeks so some classes or activities may already be full).

Later-life learning isn’t just for humans. Sometimes, old structures can benefit from a fresh perspective, too. I’ve always dug the Conley-Maas building - it’s where I learned Shakespeare and heard some of the only words I try to live by, “Love the art in

yourself, not yourself in the art.” I learned that lesson back in

1999, when the building housed �e Masque Youth �eatre. �e building’s current stewards are living those words, big time.

�ey could’ve half-stepped the remodeling process, but they didn’t. �ey went all in and the results speak for themselves.

I’m not just talking about the food. �e significance of the Bleu Duck’s opening goes deeper than artful Gazpacho pear soup and french onion meatballs (both of which my lady adored, by the way). �e re-opening of this building is a microcosm of everything people in Rochester always say the city needs. An artsy restaurant. Open office spaces. Historic context. High ceilings. Big windows. Tenants with big ideas.

“In the three and a half years I’ve lived here, this is the first building I’ve been to that really epitomizes to me what a new and transformed Rochester should look like,” Hendrika Umbanhowar, a transplant from Northfield, told me.

At Bleu Duck’s open house a couple weeks back, the place was hopping. C. Anthony Huber was in the house, so was Edgar Mtanous. �e collision of a multilingual sign prototyper and guy who paints with acrylic, cement, and fire is no small miracle in a city that used to be known for its collective bedtime of 8 p.m. People are always hungry for something new. �ey’re even hungrier for something that feels like its own thing. Look at Forager’s persistent popularity if you need evidence.

“�is place speaks to me, not only as someone who has an interest in history, but when I see, this was put together with such care and love and that it can now be re-utilized in a way that the original owners would never have imagined, and that’s okay, and that’s what planning is all about,” said Umbanhowar. “How can we make a facility, a building, a town, meet our needs for the moment and well into the future? I think that’s what our forebearers did and I think we carry that responsibility to go forward for our offspring.”

From Hair of the Dog’s “sweaty rock n’ roll” to �omas and the Rain’s fiddle-fueled Americana, Rochester’s house bands cover a wide array of musical styles and

include instruments ranging from reedy accordions to boxy upright basses. Forager Brewery, �e Half Barrel, and �e Tap House have all hosted house bands over the summer, from duos like �e Afterwhile featuring Floridian Anthony Cuchetti to solo acts like Fernando Ufret and Rochesterite Joel Ward.

Chris Fierst, owner-operator at �e Half Barrel, has house bands play on “Whiskey Wednesdays.” On the first Wednesday of every month, Fierst features vintage rock from Hair of the Dog, a collective including singing and guitar-slinging front men Jeremy Jewell and Tracy Sonnier accompanied by Mike Nesbit on bass and joined at times by Erik Henriksson or Whitney Gunhus on drums and Kirstin Kooda on accordion.

Jewell thinks the street-level window location for live music at �e Half Barrel “provides a cool atmosphere for downtown Rochester,” and he also notes that on a good night you might catch Fierst belting out “Tennessee Whiskey” with the band.

�e chameleon-voiced Ufret is also a regular at �e Half Barrel. He plays on the second Wednesday and amazes audiences with the breadth of his repertoire. “I want to listen to what people want me to play for them, to interact as much as possible. �e Half Barrel is perfect for this,” says Ufret.

“We didn’t set out to have a ‘house’ band…we hire bands that our customers respond to,” says Christine Stahl, owner of the Tap House. If you’ve passed the Tap House on any given Tuesday night in the past three summers, you’ve likely heard �e Afterwhile’s music wafting down from the roof-top patio. “Not only were we at capacity inside, but people were setting up lawn chairs across the

street just to listen,” Stahl says.�omas and the Rain and Joel Ward

have respectively held down Tuesday and “�erapeutic” �ursday night music at Forager Brewery this past spring and summer. “At Forager, we really want to promote everything local,” says manager Chris Pickett. “Ellen �omes, half of �omas and the Rain, is also an employee of Forager. She has worked as a barista, server and bartender. Doesn’t get much more local than hiring one of your own.”

“We try to keep a fresh face. Starting in September, we won’t be having house bands through December. We will be doing rotating acoustic acts Tuesdays, Wednesdays and �ursdays with open

mic on Mondays,” shares Pickett.“It’s been a great experience overall…

it’s pushed us to learn more new music than ever,” says �omes, who sings and switches between fiddle and guitar while her duo partner Andy Rein sings and plays guitar or bass.

Ward, whose music has soothed Forager’s thirsty �ursday audiences, might describe what’s at the throbbing musical heart of Rochester’s house band phenomenon: “Finding people that connect to your lyrics, seeing them each week, getting to know them a little better and having that as a foundation for a friendship is a special thing.”

House bands are nothing new in Rochester.

In the late ‘80s and early ‘90s The Quorum,

with John Paulson on sax and electronic wind

synth, Don VanSchaik on guitar and vocals,

Kevin Dobbe on drums, and Eric Heukeshoven

on keys, was the house band for the ritzy

Penthouse club at the top of the Kahler.

Heukeshoven recalls enjoying “the mixture

of ‘regulars’ and an ever changing audience

from around the world” he encountered as

his band “added a lot of new material” while

holding down Friday and Saturday nights for

years in the Kahler’s lofty watering hole. Three

members of The Quorum, Paulson, Dobbe,

and Heukeshoven, have trained up a new

batch of area musicians as music professors at

regional colleges.

This past July, chef Sean Fulford joined the team at Four Daughters Winery as their executive chef. He brings 25 years of

cooking experience with him, having worked in fine dining, large hotels, catering, and steak and seafood, wood fired pizza, Asian, and South American restaurants and wineries.

Since making the move to Rochester, where his wife was born and raised, he has enjoyed the learning curve of adding Minnesota wines to his broad understanding of wine and food interplay.

Fulford grew up in Texas. His mother and maternal grandmother fostered his interest in cooking. He cherishes fond memories of cooking with them: “Mom and Grandma always made it magical,” he said. �ese days it is no surprise to hear him express the idea that “the kitchen in the heart of every home.”

When not at work, Fulford usually

dines at home, where he continues to enjoy time spent in the kitchen, experimenting with different ingredients and preparations. When dining out, his favorite places are ones “where the freshness and quality of the ingredients is paramount to the integrity and success of a dish.”

Fulford originally studied to become a mechanical engineer. While that sounds drastically different from being a chef, he sees some parallels in that career to where he is today. Both require hands on work and, in many cases, a “fix it” attitude.

Fulford finds other parallels to his career as a rock climber. He knows well from long, difficult climbs, that

“if you lose energy you don’t get your anchors; you don’t reach your destination.” He identified a freedom he felt becoming a chef would offer, along with an outlet for creativity. It was a transportable career, allowing him to relocate if he desired to do so in the future.

He was hit with chef burnout for a few years, and worked in sales software until his passion for cooking drove him back into the kitchen in 2003. His

favorite cuisines to cook include interior Mexican, Latin and Southeast Asian. His favorite food and wine pairing is a mole dish with a dry rosé.

Fulford doesn’t see himself as a trendy chef. “I am passionate about food. It is what brought my wife and I together. My focus is to make food that people enjoy eating, rather than something that looks hip or stylish. If you let the ingredients speak for themselves, then you won’t be disappointed.”

As for food trends themselves, he has

a lot of respect for featuring local ingredients from local farms and hopes this national trend will stick.

It is classically used in a Negroni, a cocktail made of

equal parts gin, sweet vermouth and Campari.

�ere are many cocktails you can make with

Campari. One of my favorite components is its deep

S T R E A M I N G N E T F L I X

by RYAN PAULSEN

Netflix has done it again. �ey’ve poured their time and money into an endeavor that will forever brand the company as a master of cinematic production.

“Stanger �ings” came onto the scene only a few months ago and has already developed a loyal fan-art following.

We’re introduced to our main bunch of protagonists the only way you would want to be introduced: one mean game of Dungeons & Dragons. We follow the Goonies-esque band of ragtag preteens through escalating perils and as usual, the grown-ups are about three plot points behind.

A mix of secret government conspiracy and small town know-all seems to stereotypically compel the story with intrigue and familiarity. My one qualm with this brilliant Netflix production is that it seems to adhere strictly to formulaic plot points and predictable scenes, something that would otherwise turn me away from a franchise all together. It’s strange, however, that

although these scenes seem unsurprising, I’m completely caught up in the tempo of the series. I cannot explain how Netflix continues to produce such familiar, yet completely original content in this modern age of information overload. I think everything has been made before, and even with a silent nod remake of Goonies and Super 8, I continue to be fascinated.

Although the 1980s aesthetic is a decade before my time, the series evokes a deep sense of nostalgia that immediately connects you with the characters. As I’ve said before, and will say again, I am continually astonished with the beautiful cinematography that is shown to the viewers in almost every scene. Strong female leads and a thrilling musical theme has completely convinced me that Netflix is acutely aware of what their fans want. If Netflix has branded the show with their production label, it’s safe to say that you’ll the love whatever you’re about to play. Stranger �ings gets my fully committed recommendation.

Dance the night away

M U S I C A D U LT P R O M N I G H T

507: Why is good for adults to re-live

the experience of prom? Winston: Some may want a redo, some

have never gone, most need to get out

of their homes and do something fun. I

choose all the above.

Charles: Prom is one of the most

memorable experiences in our lives. You

don’t remember who you sat down next

to in 9th grade history class. You don’t

remember how many times school lunch

made you sick. But everyone remembers

prom. Whether you got lucky or dumped,

drunk or sober, went with friends or your

high school crush, you have memories of

prom. Why not relive it when you’re older

and wiser? My strongest memory of prom

is getting dumped two days before so the

girl could go with another guy! Prom made

you laugh and cry. So let’s have some fun

and all relive it!

507: Who would win in a 12 hour

dance-off, Winston or Charles? Winston: �is guy. I hear Charles has two

left feet.

Charles: Winston would win. I have the

stamina, but I don’t think I know many

dance moves. If you would have asked who

would win in a holding your breath contest,

I think I could best him!

507: What is the key to

motivating reluctant

dancers?Winston: Confidence and

funky music. Funk is food for

the body, it gives you groove to

nourish your soul.

Charles: �e quickest secret is

alcohol. �e more you drink,

the more inviting the dance

floor is. Otherwise, you just

get the crowd to loosen up. Get

them to sing along a couple

of times, and then they feel

comfortable they will be more

likely to dance.

507: Does Rochester dance

enough? Winston: We can definitely dance

more.

Charles: Rochester loves to dance.

�ey like to drink, too. Perhaps the

two are linked....

507: What are your top 5 songs

at the moment?Winston: Do you remember the time

by Michael Jackson, Betray my heart

by D’angelo, Controversy by Prince,

Poetic Justice by Kendrick Lamar,

Smooth in Love by �e Charles Walker

Band.

Charles: I am guessing you mean my

favorite songs to play so I will answer

that way.

1. Hope

2. Damn

3. Ain’t No Sunshine

4. Get Lucky

5. H8RS

507: What is one lyric you keep

returning to?Winston: “I’m on the pursuit of happiness

and I know everything that shine ain’t

always gonna be gold, hey. I’ll be fine once

I get it, I’ll be good.”

Pursuit of Happiness by Kid Cudi

Charles: “�ere’s hope through the pain,

there’s strength you must gain.”

507: What should people expect

from your show?Winston: To be sweaty from dancing all

night.

Charles: We pride ourselves on a

performance with high energy, crowd

interaction, movement. Lots of fun. We

take the time to arrange our songs to

create interest. When we create a setlist to

create different moments. Some moments

are to feature musicians, some are to get

the crowd to interact, some are just for fun.

It happened at a �ursdays on First this summer. Maybe you saw it, too. Under a blackening sky, Joe Johnson danced. Raindrops smacked pavement and puddles pooled. Joe kept twisting up his Twisting Tornado Genie.

Other dancers cowered under the Dooley’s parking awning. Maybe you were huddled up with them. Maybe you laughed at him, but Joe danced. �e music cut out. Joe danced. �e rain stopped, the music cut back on. Joe danced. People crept back onto 1st street and the party resumed. Joe just kept it going.

It stayed with me through the weekend, that image of one man dancing in the face of everything that doesn’t matter. Ridicule, self-consciousness, societal approval, getting wet. Joe’s dancing was a lesson, he wanted us to forget that stuff, to go for ours.

I expressed gratitude for the good example the next time I saw him. He said that he’d been exploring the potential of dancing as it pertained

to his mission of spreading goodwill. It had ba lifelong interest, but he’d only recently belet it run wild.

“It’s like my parents told me a long time aEverybody used to dance. And I don’t hear thanymore. I think it’s been taken away, in a wa different way. I’m trying to hope I can bring iback and get more people to step up and saygo, try, what have you got to lose?” said Joe

He told me he dreamed of getting a real dance lesson to help him broaden his movesnext move was a call to Winston Howard, Suifrontman and professional dance instructowanted to play my part.

A few weeks later, Joe and I pulled up outthe Blue Moon Ballroom for his one-on-one wWinston. He admitted he’d never seen Winstdance.

“He plays in a funk band called Suite,” I thim.

“Oh, well then I’m right up his road,” said JWinston, familiar with Joe’s dancing, ha

predetermined their lesson. He would try

“My dancing has waited long enough.”

“I think when we get into our adult stage in life, we stop doing things. Especially things that

we enjoy. What sucks on top of it is that, without enjoyment, no positivity. Negativity is too easy

to come about. Seeing Joe do his thing was one of the most inspiring things. I really thought

I was at my ends with dancing, too. So, I needed him. And that timing was perfect. It was

absolutely perfect because I was at my point of not knowing if dancing was something I was still

truly passionate about, because it can be hard.

It comes down to motivating yourself. Without motivation, you don’t get to see what you can

achieve or who you could be, what you can do. Here’s a guy who does it freely.”

— WINSTON HOWARD

to impart the grape-vine and cha-cha steps - elements that would help Joe mobilize his moves across a dance floor. Joe was pumped. My certainty wavered. What if proper technique infringed on Joe’s innate rhythm? Can a natural artist be taught? Un-learning is harder than learning, and more frustrating, too.

Joe’s natural grace did seem flummoxed by Winston’s instruction, at first. He stumbled through some initial steps. Soon, though, as he got comfier with Winston’s count, his personality shone through. I felt relief. Laughs echoed off hardwood and into rafters.

After roughly half an hour of instruction from Winston, it was Joe’s turn to show off his original moves.

“�at’s my twisting tornado genie,” explained Joe, “It’s beautiful, because I’m twisting the whole body and walking it, too, a little bit. Try to twist your whole body? Can you do that? Can you rev up your body like I can and then BOOM, I just go, I just let everything flow. �at’s the beauty of the dance.”

�e teacher was being taught. �at’s kind of the deal with adult education.

“It was just extremely motivating. It was a breath of fresh air,” said Winston, “I teach adults on a daily basis, dance, and I see how stubborn they can be. It’s so easy to make it easy for yourself. He just does it.”

“I get fulfilled off of teaching dance lessons to people, but that was one of the most fulfilling moments,” said Winston, Joe, he said, “Takes the drama out of dance.”

“Don’t be afraid, don’t be embarrassed of other people, they just don’t understand that you love dancing, so you’re trying to come out and see what you can show them, what they’re going to love. If they see it, they might be so admired by it, impressed that they’ll just sit there and say, well, maybe we should start doing it,” said Joe.

“What do you got to lose? Ask yourself that one. �at’s what I ask myself all the time.”

“My dancing has waited long enough.”

“I’m hoping more people will come up and say, ‘Oh, Joe, we love your dancing,’

or, ‘It’s just nice to see you dancing, Joe. We love what you do.’ Sometimes I get that

and other times, nothing. But they know I’m out there, because I ain’t going to give

up whether you like me or not. That’s what I am. That’s what Rochester’s all about.

You gotta try to give people an opportunity, a chance. Don’t just go out and right

away say, ‘Okay I’m going to judge this guy because he’s doing that.’

“I’ve been called everything in the book. They’ve called me a nut, they’ve called

me crazy, they’ve called me everything, but you know what, then I take that from

you, your weakness, and that gets me more positive. I don’t even look at it anymore

in negative. You give me your weakness. I take it and I create better positive energy

for me. So we all need to �nd a way. This is where we live, so we should all try to

�nd a way to come together and say, ‘Yup, we’re human beings.’ You just want to

try to get to know somebody, do things, and go from that. Learn [from] each other.

What do you like to do? Learn, study. Learn about somebody. Don’t go and just

judge them o� the bat, learn about them. Come up, get to know them before you

sit there and think that you can just judge someone, because that is wrong.”

What sparked your interest in music?

I really love to sing, and I was always singing around the house as a little kid. My dad was a musician, and I eventually joined one of his bands for a couple of years. After that, I branched out and formed my own band. In 2011, I got signed to Blind Pig Records, and it has become a wonderful full-time endeavor, including a European tour. It’s been great to see how much Europeans embrace our music.

Most listened to song in the last week?

I have always loved 90s R&B soul music. After Prince Be passed away, I’ve been listening to P.M. Dawn’s “I’d Die Without You.” There’s a really great piano solo and soulful vocals.

What do you drink during a show?

Before a show, I have hot tea to keep my vocal chords warm. I also prefer to drink room temper-ature water, which is difficult in Europe because all their water has carbonation in it. It’s tough to find water without bubbles.

Favorite local band or artist?

I am going to be biased here and pick my husband’s group, the Cole Allen Band. It’s just good to have a partner like this in all things. We co-wrote my album Live My Life, we look out for each other, and we have good synergy together.

Most memorable Rochester gig experience?

It’s tough to choose any one particular show, but I do believe that our community is really great at bringing people together for outdoor concert events. I’ve been really lucky to be a part of Thursdays on First and Down by the Riverside. It’s so fun to be outside with the community in summertime.

If you could run sound for one artist no longer among the living, who would it be? Why?

I’m no sound man, but I would love to be in the presence of someone like Janis Joplin and be able to witness that. I’m getting chills just think-ing about it.

Top three artists at the moment?

Slash featuring Myles Kennedy as the lead vocalist. I am blown away by his vocal range and phrasing. Zakk Wylde’s album Book of Shad-ows. It’s an acoustic based record, and I’m really digging that lately. Brandy. Her vocals were so impressive to me. There a song she sings called “Begging and Pleading” that I can’t stop listen-ing to. She has new material out now, and she is extensively touring in Europe. She uses a lot of vocal layering and harmonizing because she is able to harmonize with herself due to her vocal range.

One book everyone should read?

“Man’s Search for Meaning” by Viktor Frankl. It’s a deep read about the power of positive thinking, about the idea that people choose their frame of mind and way of looking at situations in life.

Kindest words from an audience member?

For someone to say that they are going through a difficult time, and that for the hour or so they were listening at my show, they were able to escape. That they were able to find happiness through my music is the highest compliment.

Favorite local hangout?

When I am away from home for a while, it’s pretty hard to beat a hamburger at Newt’s. I also really enjoy that Five West is doing a lot of acous-tic music, plus they have really good food there.

T H E AT E R

by TOM WEBER

Some people like to sing along when they attend a musical.

But how would you like to spell along?

�at’s the opportunity awaiting audience members at Rochester Repertory �eatre’s “�e 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” which opens Sept. 9.

�e musical is about six nerdy students who compete for the county spelling title — against each other, and alongside volunteers from the audience.

“It’s a very funny show, and every time you see it it’s different because there is audience participation,” said Mary Pyfferoen, who is directing the show for the Rep.

�e show made its Broadway debut in 2005, and won two Tony Awards. �e original cast recording was nominated for a Grammy Award. Songs include “My Friend, the Dictionary,” “I’m Not that

Smart” and “My Favorite Moments of the Bee.”

�e students range in age from 7 to about 12, Pyfferoen said. “�ey each have their unique abilities,” she said. One student is referred to as a political savant. Another is home-schooled and makes his own clothes. �ere’s also an

over-achiever, the defending champion, and a student who spells “in a very unique way,” said Pyfferoen.

“�e kids fit the stereotypes,” she said.�e student spellers are played by

Jessica Schuler, Neal Abbott, Amanda Pyfferoen, Alicia Frarck, Ethan Savage and Philip Muehe. All are younger than

30, so it’s not a stretch for them to play kids of middle-school age competing in a spelling bee.

“You know, I think it’s a little bit freeing for them,” Pyfferoen said. “It’s not as restrictive.”

Also in the cast are John McDougall as the vice principal, Greg Strobl, and Melissa Adams-Goihl.

And don’t forget the guest spellers from the audience. If you’re one of them, a pocket dictionary might come in handy.

Here you thought the music of the 1980s was disposable and would mercifully be forgotten as soon as possible.

Guess again. “Rock of Ages,” a jukebox musical peppered with hits of the ‘80s by the likes of Twisted Sister, Poison, Journey, and other hair bands, was a huge hit on Broadway.

Now, “Rock of Ages” (which bears absolutely no relation to the great live album of the same title by �e Band) is ready to open Sept. 9 at Rochester Civic �eatre.

“It’s great, broad fun, with the hits of the era,” said Greg Miller, who is directing the show. “�e ‘80s were such a mixed bag of music. You had New Wave, glam rock, pop stars. It’s that era of rock videos and band images.”

And it’s coming to a stage near you,

accompanied by songs like “Sister Christian,” “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” “Wanted Dead or Alive,” “�e Final

Countdown,” “Hit Me with Your Best Shot” and “Can’t Fight �is Feeling.”

Besides that, you get the crazy costumes.

“Obviously, you’ve got a whole decade to choose from,” Miller said. “�ere’s a lot of variation in haircuts, everything from mullets to big curly mops. You’ve got bandannas, head bands, sparkle in the hair.”

For all of that, though, “Rock of Ages” is an age-old tale. “�e show is basically an old-fashioned musical,” Miller said. “Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl again.”

In casting the show, Miller said he looked for a couple of things. “You have to be able to sing these songs,” he said. “I think we’ve all found a new respect for rock songs. We say,

‘Oh my gosh, these are really high.’”Secondly, he said, “You look for people

who want to have uninhibited fun.”Miller has cast Dylon Starr, Kasey

Kuker (in her RCT debut), Blake Hogue and Cody Jensen in the four main roles. �ey’re backed by a five-piece rock band led by Greg Hintermeister.

�ey’re all ready to have, as Miller said, “just goofy fun.”

F L I C K S HANDS OF STONE

A rousing, solid TKO★ ★ ★ ★ ★

by RICHARD ROEPER, Chicago Sun Times

�e legendary Panamanian boxer Ro-berto Duran has lived a life -- and had a fight career -- far more complex and polarizing than what we see onscreen in “Hands of Stone,” but this is still one of the more entertaining boxing pictures of the last decade. I’m not saying this isn’t a solid picture. I’m just saying if you enjoy this film but you don’t know a ton about Duran, wait until you read up on him and watch documentaries such as “Roberto Duran: Beyond the Glory” or ESPN’s “30 for 30” titled “No Mas.” Ah, but as we often say when we review fictionalized films about real-life subjects, the bulk of our attention must be paid to the movie as a movie and not as a historical document about the indi-viduals and events portrayed -- and as such, writer-director Jonathan Jakubo-wicz’s “Hands of Stone” is a rousing, well-filmed and solid (if at times overly generous to Duran) biopic with a bounty of charismatic performances, two of the sexier scenes of the year, some welcome laughs and a few above-average fight sequences. Among the film’s strengths: -- Edgar Ramirez in a true star turn as Duran. From the moment we see the street kid in bell bottoms strutting through the streets of Panama to his me-teoric rise to adored world champion, to his self-destructive bouts with gluttony, his hedonistic excess, his misogynistic rants and the moment in the ring when he brought shame upon himself and his country, Ramirez captures the essence of the enigmatic Duran. -- Robert De Niro with a warm, authentic, heartfelt performance as Ray Arcel, the legendary Jewish-American boxing trainer who became a father fig-ure to Duran and helped guide him from raw talent to one of great boxers of the 20th century. -- �e pop star Usher, aided by just the right amount of prosthetics, turning in a brilliant supporting turn as the dashing,

fleet-footed, charismatic and well-spoken Sugar Ray Leonard, who is everything the illiterate Duran is not, and is the per-fect villain -- or hero -- to go up against Roberto in two epic bouts in 1980. (Leonard and Duran actually fought a third time, in 1989, when both were well past their primes. “Hands of Stone” wisely ignores that lackluster bout.) -- John Turturro lighting it up as an old-school New York mobster who once put a stop to Arcel’s career and nearly ended his life; Ellen Barkin as Arcel’s tough-as-nails but ever-devoted wife; Reg. E. Cathey, who does amazing things with just a handful of lines as notorious promoter Don King; and Ana de Armas, the go-to love interest of the month, in a fiery performance as Duran’s sexy and independent wife, Felicidad, who puts up with his nonsense and puts up with his nonsense -- until she doesn’t. �is is a boxing movie where at times we find ourselves rooting AGAINST the main character when he steps into the ring. (�ough to its credit, “Hands of Stone” notes it wasn’t Leonard’s proud-est moment either when he taunted Duran and showboated to the point of clownish behavior when he was dominat-ing their rematch.) To this day, Duran insists he never said “no mas!” (“no more!”) when he turned his back on the dominating Leonard in the eighth round of their World Welter-weight Championship rematch bout in 1980 and quit in the middle of the fight, stunning the boxing world. Duran never seemed to understand that was never the point. It wasn’t whether he SAID “no mas.” It’s that he quit. To Duran’s credit, he did climb back into the ring, and he did win back the love of the Panamanian people and the respect of the boxing world -- and then about three more movies’ worth of stuff happened in his life. In the meantime, we have THIS movie, and as such, it’s a solid TKO.

507 MAGAZINE • www.PB507.com THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2016 17

Ben Hur (PG-13, 125 min.) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★This admittedly impressive-looking version of the fictional biblical legend often plays like the next chapter of the “Fast and Furious” franchise rather than a serious period epic. Well-intentioned efforts to achieve moving, faith-based awakenings are undercut by casually violent action sequences. Instead of having the strength of its convictions, it comes across as a film hedging its bets.

Bad Moms (R, 101 min.) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★Written and directed by the team that penned the “Hangover” movies, “Bad Moms” had me laughing out loud even as I was cringing, thanks to some fantastically over-the-top hijinks, crass but hilarious one-liners and terrific performances from Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell and Kathryn Hahn as suburban moms taking a break from parenting and going wild.

Don’t Breathe (R, 89 min.)★ ★ ★ ★ ★Things go horribly wrong for three teenagers trying to burglarize the home of a tough, blind veteran (Stephen Lang) in an impressively photographed, well-acted, relentlessly paced horror film sure to sicken some and delight others with its twisted sense of humor.

Hell or High Water (R, 102 min.) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★Veteran Texas Rangers (Jeff Bridges and Gil Birmingham) pursue bank-robbing brothers (Chris Pine and Ben Foster) in an instant classic modern-day Western, traveling down familiar roads, but always, always with a fresh and original spin. This is the best film I’ve seen so far this year. If you tell me you love movies, I can’t imagine you not wanting to see it.

Kubo and the Two Strings (PG, 101 min.) Kindhearted Kubo lives a humble life, telling stories to people in his seaside town. But he accidentally summons a spirit from his past, enforcing an age-old vendetta. With the help of Monkey and Beetle, Kubo must battle gods and monsters to fulfill his heroic destiny.

Mechanic: Resurrection (R, 99 min.)The sequel to the 2011 hit. When someone from Arthur Bishop’s past forces him back into the business, he has to complete an impossible list of assassinations of the most dangerous men in the world.

Pete’s Dragon (PG, 102 min.) not reviewedMr. Meacham (Robert Redford) delights local children with stories of a mysterious dragon that lives deep in the woods of

the Pacific Northwest. His daughter Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard) believes these are just tall tales, until she meets Pete (Oakes Fegley), a 10-year-old orphan who says he lives in the woods with a giant, friendly dragon.

Sausage Party (R, 89 min.) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★The raunchiest movie of the year is also one of the funniest, an animated adventure about a hot dog and other anthropomorphic grocery items learning their fate. The cursing and sexual stuff isn’t mean-spirited. It’s just ... stupid. But also pretty smart.

Suicide Squad (PG-13, 130 min.) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★Writer/director David Ayer has missed a golden opportunity with a top-notch cast. Comic book villains are tapped to do good in a film that never lives up to its DC Universe inspiration.

War Dogs (R, 114 min.)

★ ★ ★ ★ Two 20-something potheads (Jonah Hill and Miles Teller) appoint themselves arms dealers and work their way up to scoring a $300 million government contract in a slick and sometimes glib but undeniably entertaining, wickedly funny and justifiably cynical satire.

Morgan (R, 92 min.)A corporate risk-management consultant has to decide whether or not to terminate the life of an artificial being that was created in a laboratory.

The Light Between Oceans (PG-13, 133 min.)A film adaption of a debut novel about a lighthouse keeper and his wife who break the rules and follow their hearts. What happens next will break yours.

Eaux Claires 2016 snuck up on me. Although I had followed along with the success of the festival in its inaugural year last summer, a family wedding prevented me from attending. This year,

my hopes of attending never got past the dream stage, as I could not lock down a single friend with the free time to make the hour and a half trip east.

Luckily, genetics came through, and my sister procured not only tickets for the festival, but a camping pass so I would have a place to lay my precious little head at night. This came to pass on the Wednesday before the festival began. Minimal planning, but a lot of excitement went into my weekend in the woods, and I thought I’d share some of the guidelines that helped us make those 36 or so hours some of the most musical and exciting of the summer.

1. Embrace the unexpectedAt any festival, you will no doubt encounter

people, places, events, or weather that you did not anticipate. The randomness of life at a

music festival is one of the sweetest parts of the experience. My most unexpected moment occurred twenty minutes after getting to the actual festival, where we were watching Vince Staples perform an incredibly energetic, rainy show.

Through the crowd I saw a familiar face covered by raincoat hurrying towards the shuttle buses. My good college friend Anna had made the trip from her life in Denver to enjoy the music with some friends. I had expected to run into Minneapolitan friends, for whom the trip was just a short drive, but had no intention of seeing sweet Anna at any point in the foreseeable future, not to mention right in front of my eyes in the woods of Wisconsin. Our camp and theirs came together for a boozy morning on Saturday around a wet-log smoke fire. Making friends and enjoying those you already have is truly the spirit of any festival.

2. Pack smart/pack lightCamping always provides opportunities for success and failure. Not including

the 4am parties happening at adjacent campsites with only a nylon wall for separation, these failures could come in the form of packing the wrong clothes, not having enough beer (God forbid),

or, in my case, bringing the wrong type of contact solution. Saturday

morning began with a botched attempt to put my contacts in after soaking them all night in a hydrogen peroxide solution that resulted on a stinging pain I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemies. Thankfully, the lovely people that organized Eaux Claires stocked a full general store for campers, including items like Gatorade, snacks, firewood, and (thank heavens) contact solution. I was definitely awake after that mistake, which helped make the most of a day full of musical acts like Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Lucius, and Beach House.

3. Say yes to everythingExcluding the very likely occurrence

that someone will offer you some kind of illicit substance, try to say yes to every opportunity a festival affords you. I speak mostly of musical opportunity. It’s not likely that you will ever attend a festival where each band playing is on your “summertime fun faves” playlist.

You’re more than likely going to see a group you have never heard of and never cared about. Opening your ears and your hearts to soak in these performances will make your experience i m m e n s e l y m o r e enjoyable. Vince Staples was the artist I c a r e d l i t t l e t o s e e f r o m the get go, but once he started p e r f o r m i n g , I didn’t want to be anywhere else. Even my vegan sister had her booty shaking to his West Coast vibes.

4. Keep your

eyes peeledAt any festival,

e s p e c i a l l y a woodsy, artist driven festival l ike Eaux C l a i r e s , t h e r e a r e b o u n d t o b e moments of surprise hidden amongst the organized cornucopia of activity. One such moment that presented itself to me was a surprise performance in the woods by Bon Iver’s S. Carey, a multi-instrumentalist and singer whose solo works have soared beautifully into my heart. The soft tones of his Wurlitzer keyboard floated wistfully towards the green branches shading his audience. He was even joined by poet and writer Honorée Fanonne, who recited poetry over a backdrop of soft jazz from the musicians on stage. This was one of the most rewarding experiences of the weekend, and was only enjoyed because we kept our eyes peeled.

5. ExploreI forbid you to hang in a safe place where

plenty of food trucks and festival goers make you feel at home. Blaze a trail through the woods. Find a unique vantage point. Go be alone for a while. Take a different path, and you might end up making a new friend, seeing something beautiful, or find yourself taking a much needed nap beneath a cloud of luscious music from William Tyler.

6. Soak it upAn inevitability of a weekend festival is

that it will end before you know it. Though performances may take you to an ethereal place where they seem to last forever, the reality is that 48 hours goes by extremely fast. It’s important to take a breather every now and then to step back from the excitement and think of what a feat it is that so many thousands of planning hours were spent so you could drink beer and watch Justin Vernon sing. If there ever were a time for a #blessed Instagram hashtag, that’s it.

Eaux Claires was the beginning of the end of my summer, and what a way to hang up the flip flops for the year. The last performance I took in was Beach House, a band I’ve been in love with since high school. They brought so much power to their catalogue of songs that I would categorize as melancholy at the most optimistic. They transformed their sound with a lightning-like energy, and turned the crowd into a singular mass of bobbing excitement. Walking away from that performance was a long sigh of acceptance that Eaux Claires, and my Minnesota summer, were both coming to an end.
