    How many minimalist composers does it take to change a lightbulb?

    This is my favorite piece by David Ives, and performing as the First Woman was one of the best experiences in my theatrical career.
    This interpretation is so well done! Great job, everyone, and thanks so much for sharing it. :D

    I work in strange and mysterious ways, Steffan. Not only are you Philip Glass in this video, you are and always will be MY Philip Glass. I still break into a sweat every time I watch this. It's a shame we never got a performance video, this being our final dress rehearsal (without lighting changes or uproarious audience approval). Thank you :)

    I'm gonna be in this play and the script is confusing so I'm watching this lol

    • @JoshuaZamrycki
      @JoshuaZamrycki  3 года назад +1

      The best thing about this play is that the script is so "confusing" that 100 different directors can interpret it in 100 different ways! There is no one "right" way. I hope you enjoy it!

    LOL!! IF I were to write this exact play today and submit it to my local community theater, they'd laugh at me and say it was a piece of garbage, but Ives is hailed "a genius"! Sheeeeeeesh!!

    • @JoshuaZamrycki
      @JoshuaZamrycki  2 года назад

      I imagine this would only be true if you or your local community theater were not very familiar with the works of Philip Glass. Ives is a genius.

    I played Kafka in a production of Words, Words, Words. It was the best time of my life.

    This was a trip down memory lane. I did this in 95 with a drama group for our local Dramakend festival. HORRIBLE MEMORIES!! By far the hardest piece I ever did. Interesting to see another interpretation!

    Many who hear his music for the first time think the same thing. It's an acquired taste :)

    all that for a loaf of bread, amazing....this was done so perfect.....

  • @JoshuaZamrycki
    @JoshuaZamrycki  17 лет назад +1

    Yes, this piece was in fact part of a multiple bill. It is usually part of a series of pieces by David Ives called All In The Timing and this production was no different. Act I contained Sure Thing, then Words, Words, Words, and then The Universal Language. Philip Glass opened Act II and was followed by Mere Mortals and Variations On The Death Of Trotsky.

    Don't let this make you hate theatre. Ives didn't mean for this to be a grand theatrical masterpiece. He probably didn't even mean for it to be taken seriously. In the book version of All In the Timing, it follows a longer, more serious piece, and in the original staging, it broke up the funny (but more serious) stuff. So just enjoy how completely ridiculous it is.

    The script is a head-trip in an of itself! Check out All In the Timing by David Ives.

    the college i'm attending just did All in the Timing with this skit on there. The one our theatre guys did added a techno beat to the background and said all their lines to the beat of the music. It was pretty good. Watching this one is kind of dull now.

  • @JoshuaZamrycki
    @JoshuaZamrycki  16 лет назад

    I'm glad you find it helpful. But I really recommend that you (or your director) put your own spin on it and perform it according to your own interpretation. That's one of the reasons that I love this piece - every time I see it, it's different!

    I'm the baker in this. Ours is pretty rhythmic, as this one is, but has no singing. I think it's pretty nice--but I like this better.

    If this is meant to be a piss take of Glass it seems rather accurate! I am not sure as to the intent of this play but I do believe people should take stabs at minimalism!
