TODAY'S FOCUS
Ballet Theatre leaving its mark on Lowcountry with 'Zorro'

By KYLE W. BARNETTE
Administrative director, Charleston Ballet Theatre
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com

MARCH 15, 2010 -- Who is Zorro?


Barnette

This is a question that has flummoxed many Charlestonians in the past couple of weeks, with the mysterious masked man in black appearing in the strangest places around town, staging impromptu sword fights with his sworn enemies and charming many a damsel, distressed or not.

With appearances at the BB&T Charleston Wine + Food Festival, parties at Lowndes Grove and restaurants from Oak Steakhouse to McCrady's, our hero has stopped traffic with his antics, turning heads and creating quite a buzz about the world premiere of his ballet, which opens this Friday, March 19, at Memminger Auditorium.

The many legends of Zorro have always been a fascinating subject to Jill Eathorne Bahr, resident choreographer of Charleston Ballet Theatre. And as inspiration is the key element to any artistic aspiration, the tireless choreographer has created an action-packed, romantic adventure that has become a brand new Zorro tale of the battle of good vs. evil and the familiar dual hero identity crisis.

"ZORRO" INFO

What: Charleston Ballet Theatre production of "Zorro."

When:
8 p.m. March 19 and March 20, 3 p.m. March 21.

Where:
Memminger Auditorium, 56 Beaufain St., downtown.

Tavern Seating:
Special "Tavern Seating" tickets ($75 per person) will give patrons a seat at lavishly decorated banquet style tables on the "Zorro" set during the performance. Tickets include bottomless glasses of sangria and Spanish-themed tapas. You'll need to wear your best Spanish attire, though.

Tickets:
$35 to $75 (student discounts available for certain seats and performances). Call 723-7334 or buy online
.

Bahr's new full-length ballet has a very modern, cinematic and sensual vibe matched with extensive and often shocking sword-fighting and bullwhip action, something she hopes will appeal to ballet connoisseurs and film buffs alike.

With stunning Latin-flavored music from artists such as the Louisville-based Al Sur flamenco group and popular Latin rock-based duo Rodrigo y Gabriela, and fight choreography collaborations with Hollywood stuntman Tim Bell, Bahr's version of the Zorro story is designed to provide the audience with a full-on sensory experience overload, putting them right there in the setting and atmosphere of 1870s Spanish-occupied Southern California.

"Zorro" will make its world premiere at Memminger Auditorium, a first-time
performance venue for the popular ballet company. Audiences will have almost an aerial view of the action because the seating looks down onto the stage. The audience will basically be surrounding the stage, as Zorro and friends (and enemies) fill a vast majority of the floor space and fight and dance on the impressive set. The ballet company has basically adapted the much-buzzed-about set into a Spanish cityscape, filling the stage with color, levels, and various spots for romantic interludes and hardcore sword battles.

Brave and hungry patrons even have the option of a special "Tavern Seating" ticket that allows them to be seated banquet-style at large tables on the "Zorro" set, where they can eat, drink and be merry (courtesy of Fish restaurant) while enjoying an up-close and personal experience of the new CBT legend of "Zorro."

Charleston Ballet Theatre is famous for its "watercooler moment" performances, from the incandescent "Decadent Divas" fashion, music and dance fusion to the Beatles' love fest of "The Magical Mystery Tour." Living up to that hype should be no problem for "Zorro."

Be on the lookout for "Mark of Zorro" tattoos on King Street; bearers of the tattoos will receive discounts and gifts from King Street businesses leading up to the premiere of the ballet. And find out the answer to the question, "Who is Zorro?" this weekend by checking out CBT's Facebook page and visiting us online at http://www.charlestonballet.org.

Clyburn whips up support for health care reform
By ANDY BRACK, publisher

MARCH 15, 2010 - Congressman Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) was in town over the weekend to whip some energy into about 200 local Democrats who had their county convention at the Stern Center at the College of Charleston.


Brack

It took only one topic to get thunderous applause: the imminent passage of major health care reform.

"I'm going back to Washington Monday night and I'm not coming home until health care is passed!" Clyburn exclaimed Saturday.

He cited the need for health care reform to be accomplished for more than the 40 million Americans without coverage. It needs to be done, he said, to provide protection and certainty for the tens of millions of Americans who already have health care coverage. By passing reform, the health system would become more reasonable, such as a situation his wife faced when recently in the hospital - aspirins that cost $15 each.


Clyburn

"We need to get rid of [health care] discrimination because of pre-existing conditions," Clyburn told NBC's Tom Brokaw Sunday on "Meet the Press." "We need to get rid of rescissions when people get catastrophic illnesses. We need to say to young people, 'You can stay on your parents' insurance policies until you finish law school or medical school,' what have you. These things we have got to do, and the senators know that. And we cannot do all of that without this bill."

Clyburn was confident that health care reform would pass and be sent to the Senate for a majority vote through a complex process called reconciliation. He should know. It's his job as the House Democratic whip -- the number three leader in the U.S. House - to count Democratic votes to ensure passage.

But in the Sunday interview from Columbia, Clyburn admitted that Democrats didn't yet have all the votes they needed to pass health care reform.

"I have been talking to members for a long time on this, and they have the will to do it. They've been looking to us to create a way to do it. I think we have gotten to a place where we do have the way to do it, and I think the members are going to vote for this," he said.

One thing is for sure: If something does pass this week or next week, it probably won't be all that some want … and will be more than others want. But as Clyburn has been saying for months, the nation needs to get started with some kind of reform and can make improvements in years to come - just like it augmented the Civil Rights Act of 1964 with the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and other anti-discrimination legislation.

* * * * *

SPEAKING OF THE GOVERNMENT being high-profile this week, be on the lookout for once-every-10-year forms from the U.S. Census Bureau. They're being mailed today and will start arriving during the week.

It's important for South Carolinians to do better this year than in the past in completing the forms. In 2000, South Carolina had the second lowest response rate to Census inquiries in the nation. [More on why the Census is important.]

A low response rate leads to underreporting of the state's population, which can have serious funding impacts. Because the federal government often bases funding on formulas that use population as a criterion, the state can get less in federal dollars if head counts are low.

So if you want the state to get all of the federal funding it deserves -- and pays for with federal taxes -- it's in everyone's interest to fill out the Census forms and return them pronto.

GOOD NEWS

Army official in town to promote health careers to students

Lt. Gen. Benjamin Freakley, the top officer in charge of recruiting efforts for the U.S. Army, was in Charleston last week to sign a national partnership agreement with Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) during its South Carolina state conference. The partnership, termed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), will allow the Army and HOSA to share expertise and programming that will improve postsecondary education and health-care career options for HOSA members.

HOSA includes South Carolina high school and college students who are increasingly facing challenges in paying for their education and may be deterred from pursuing their ambitions altogether because the pressure to pay off student loan debt could dictate the direction of their careers after graduation -- for example, taking a job at a big hospital vs. a humanitarian organization.

The Army benefits from the partnership because it offers a way for the Army to communicate the value of Army service to HOSA students, and HOSA benefits by increased awareness among its members of the options available to them. The Army offers 90 different health care career paths - more than any other military service branch -- giving students a range of opportunities to pay for their education, get training on the most advanced medical technology available, and enjoy opportunities to practice in unique and fulfilling environments.

The conference drew about 1,000 HOSA high school and college students from around South Carolina who were chosen to attend based on leadership skills and their interest in health-care careers.

RiverDogs gear ranks among most popular in Minor Leagues

The Charleston RiverDogs ranked among the top 25 teams in Minor League Baseball in merchandise sales in 2009, team officials said last week. It's the fifth consecutive year that the team has been among the nation's best.

While casual clothing such as T-shirts and baseball caps represent most of the objects sold in the RiverDogs' souvenir shop, other hot items include souvenir baseballs, sweatshirts, blankets and plush mascot dolls. "We've known for a very long time that our logo is a winner and that fans enjoy what we have in our souvenir store," said RiverDogs General Manager Dave Echols.

The store has been coordinated by Michael DeAntonio for the past three seasons. He is a native Charlestonian and a 2006 graduate of the University of South Carolina's sports management program.

SC ENCYCLOPEDIA
Strawberry Chapel

James Child, founder of Childsbury Town on the Cooper River in St. John's Berkeley Parish, bequeathed an acre and a half for a chapel. The building was complete by 1725, when the South Carolina legislature passed an act establishing a parochial "chapel of ease" at the site. Chapels of ease made services more accessible to those who lived far from the parish centers, but most had to share ministers with the parish churches. The minister in 1726, Brian Hunt, reported that he preached at Childsbury once a month and every second Sunday afternoon. In addition to being at the intersection of two Indian trading paths, Childsbury was located at the farthest point that oceangoing vessels could travel up the west branch of the Cooper River. The town boasted a school, a chapel, a tavern, and a ferry.

The plan of Strawberry Chapel is typical of Anglican churches in colonial South Carolina: rectangular with entrances on the north, south, and west sides. The roof is called "jerkin-head" style because the beveled gable resembles a hooded jacket or jerkin. Bull's-eye windows ornament both gable ends, while single windows flank the doorways and the altar.

In addition to inhabitants of Childsbury, Strawberry Chapel served families from prosperous Cooper River rice plantations. The churchyard at Strawberry contains a special enclosure for the Ball family. The elaborate kinship network of the Balls included people of other names as well, and Strawberry Chapel became a symbol of family continuity in the area. Although no longer in regular use, services were still held at Strawberry Chapel several times per year into the twenty-first century. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
