Artists converge on Central Fire Station to ponder its best use as HQ for SRAC and as an art center for West Edge of Shreveport; tours, meetings on Wed & Th, June 23, 24
Concrete, stucco, ceramic tile, terra cotta, and brick: Central Fire Station, 801 Crocket, was built as an Italian Renaissance center in 1922 of this classic array of materials.
Today it is on the verge of a re-do that will restore former glory, says SRAC's Pam Atchison. The city and the arts organization have settled upon Central Fire Station as the new HQ for Shreveport Regional Arts Council.
Artists have been invited to participate in the review of Central Fire Station on Wed, June 23 at 1:30 pm. They will join Gregory Free, Central Fire Station architect, for a tour of the owl-studded building.
Plans include an emerging artists gallery, “day space” for artists and arts organizations; an arts resource room; and a black box theatre for performances and rehearsals.
Wednesday, June 23 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm – Performing Artists will meet with Gregory Free to discuss the opportunities and needs within a Black Box Theatre.
On Thursday, June 24 at artspace, there is an additional opportunity, says Atchison, to engage in a conversation about Arts Development.
5:30 pm – 7:15 pm - Following the Roster Artists Meeting on Thursday, June 24 at 5:30 pm @ artspace, Shreveport Regional Arts Council will host a design process to hear your ideas for developing the “Shreveport Commons” area into the expanded West Edge Arts and Cultural District.
There are ideas to be considered for bike trails, green space, an arts market, studio space, artists’ live and work space, and much more.

Review: Meredith Little, Christian Dantes pump up the Academy of Childrens Theater production of Footloose @ MLP; shows continue Fri, Sat, June 18, 19, 7 pm
Meredith Little, a teen possessed of a large smile, big eyes and head full of energy, has trouble not stealing the scene anytime she's on stage, I'm guessing. Her timing, tunefulness and kineticism is one of many reasons to give the Academy of Childrens Theater a big recommendation in their production of Footloose.
The show continues Fri and Sat, June 18, 19, at Marjorie Lyons Playhouse.
Cues were tight, singing voices were excellent and the dancing was infectious in the production that we saw on Thurs, June 17.
Cynthia Whitaker, director, and Lauren Ross, choreographer, managed to make the show look effortless - but with a cast of some 30 teens and adults, the inescapable conclusion is that their secret is in the rehearsals.
Meredith Little, Bridget Winder and Emma Foreman sang tight three-part harmony in their prominent roles. Also demonstrating harmonic convergence were Jan Reedy and Debbie Dupuy. Not to say anything less about the duet work by the lead players, Maddison Pennington and Christian Dantes.
Pennington was a very capable match to the convincing Dantes, a 15 year-old with star quality, between his dancing, mugging and excellent diction.
Rocky Maddox was a standout among the many competent adults in the cast.
Music, essential to the dancers in Footloose, was provided by a small but dynamic rock orchestra under the direction and keyboard of Daniel Ley. Justin Ansley and Mike Krusleski, guitar, Kirk Reedstrom, bass, JC Bryant, percussion, and Robyn Sharp, woodwinds, were modulated - but they rocked.
Nate Wasson, a centenary drama and dance grad, worked hard to add extra steps to the show. His role of Travis was eye-catching; his role of Mama was over the top.
Such a large cast of well-trained male dancers! I'd say that recruitment must be part of the successful Whitaker-Ross strategies.
The production ran a bit over 2 hours but we weren't counting. The appealing players and consistency of the production amounted to a lovely night of entertainment.

William Joyce is going to introduce the 8:00 PM screening, says Chris Jay, of Fritz Lang’s Metropolis on Friday night, June 18, at Robinson Film Center. He will be walking the audience through a quick tour of his favorite moments from silent films, as the clips play on the big screen.
"He was here yesterday preparing his presentation, and it’s going to be really fantastic for anyone who is interested in film history – what I saw as he was preparing the video clips he’ll be showing made me run off and update my Netflix queue – it’s essentially about a dozen breathtaking moments from silent films, many of which were unknown to me," added Jay.
