dirac Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 A new garden at Nymans honors the memory of Oliver Messel. Quote The space is divided by six decorated weathered steel screens, echoing the “flats” Messel used in his theatre scenery, creating intimate spaces beneath the open roof, and three water features. There are plans to add sculptures and topiary. Delves, who designed the garden, said: “Oliver used gardens and landscapes extensively in his sets, such as statuary, topiary and viewpoints. As well as celebrating the unique plant collection found at Nymans, I wanted to reflect the importance of Messel’s theatre design work and creative flair.” Link to comment
dirac Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 An appreciation of the short-lived TV series "Bunheads" by Caroline Madden for SlashFilm. Quote "Bunheads" is just as much of a comfort show as "Gilmore Girls" with the added excitement of gorgeously choreographed dances (ranging from an angsty modern number set to They Might Be Giants' "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)," a disastrous "Nutcracker," and one piece inspired by recycling). The series is perfectly poised between biting comedy and emotional drama. Although it has a bit of an odd premise and speaks to very specific interests, its slice-of-life style is a joy to watch.
