TRIBUTE TO CARLO MAZZONE-CLEMENTI

From Wikipedia: Carlo Mazzone-Clementi (12 December 1920 – 5 November 2000) was a performer and founder of two schools of Commedia, mime and physical theater as well as a contemporary and colleague of leaders of the modern European theater. From his arrival in the USA in 1957, he was largely responsible for the spreading of commedia dell’arte in North America. He first gained attention in Italy in 1947 alongside Marcel Marceau in the mime’s first tour outside of Paris. From 1948 to 1951, he assisted Jacques Lecoq, while Lecoq taught and directed the Players of Padua University. In 1954, Mazzone-Clementi was at Piccolo Teatro di Milano with Dario Fo and Franca Rame. Click here for more information from their post about Carlo.

Tribute to Carlo Mazzone-Clementi – Interview with Hovey Burgess

I have to admit I don’t remember when I met Carlo but it was before 1983. That was the year I convinced him to visit my studio to do some photographs. He was playful and not too prepared. He came with a couple of great Commedia masks and found objects in the studio to improvise with for the camera. It was great fun! I have decided to make this tribute since many movement-based performers don’t know about Carlo. I contacted a few friends that knew him well ask them to contribute to this post. They knew him better and have stories to tell!

Here is an interview with his friend Hovey Burgess

~ Interview with David Cale ~

This interview was originally recorded in Sept 2011 for Vaudevisuals.com.
I first met David Cale in 1982 performing at the Westbeth Theater Center’s Monday night show. He has gone into creating a diverse career for himself by writing and performing, singing and directing. I wanted to ask him about his work and what he is doing at this time in his life. Here is the video interview as he answers those questions.

Currently his play ‘Harry Clarke‘ is being performed by Tony Award winner Billy Crudup at the Minetta Lane Theater for ‘ten weeks only’.

“ONE OF THE MOST EXHILARATING
THEATRE TRIUMPHS OF THE YEAR!”– THE OBSERVER

 “David Cale…is a spellbinder. Fascinating as he is to watch, and exquisite as his verbal imagery can be, it is Cale’s gifts as a storyteller that hold an audience rapt.” Steven Winn/San Francisco Chronicle

Interview with Harley Newman – Extreme Stunt Master


‘Extreme Stunt Master’ – That is what Harley Newman has been called. After 40 years performing stunts and sideshow acts all over the world he talks about his work, beginnings and what it takes to do what it is that he does.
The interview is an in-depth look at an individual who performs world-class stunts and discusses them and their impact on the culture we live in and about the difference he sees between himself and others who would like to do what he does. Describing the heritage of his sword and then swallowing it for the camera.
Intelligent and funny as well.
