This week’s installment of the UET Salon Series PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT, was held on Wednesday, Oct. 28, with Isaac Katzanek ’11 and Julie Ann Arbiter ’11. These two alums shared their experiences on working in production management in the professional world then and now.

A native of Las Vegas, Isaac graduated from UET with a BFA in Design and Technology, and moved to New York City where he began freelancing in lighting, sound, and technical direction positions. He transitioned to production management through positions at the Roundabout Theatre Company and the Williamstown Theatre Festival. These experiences led to his being named the Production Manager at Aurora Productions, the leader in production management for Broadway, Off-Broadway, and national tours. After serving as the Production Manager for the inaugural team at New York’s The Shed, Isaac moved to the West Coast to accept the position of Production Manager at the Geffen Playhouse, in Los Angeles.

After graduating from UET with a BS in Stage Management, Julie Ann worked as a freelance stage manager and event planner in her hometown of Houston. Two years later, she moved to New York City where her freelance work helped her transition from stage management to production management. For five years, Julie Ann gained a wide breadth of experience working in production management for the Public Theatre on HAMILTON, Shakespeare in the Park, at Joe’s Pub, and with the Mobile Shakespeare Unit. In January of 2019, Julie Ann moved back to her hometown to accept the position of Associate Production Manager at the Alley Theatre.

Bio

I currently reside in Evansville, Indiana but I grew up on my family’s farm in Western Kentucky. That area would provide inspiration that I still use in my work today. I have many passions, but I have always been most passionate about is art, and art education. I studied art education at Murray State University and during this time was able to explore several art mediums to better teach a wide variety of art styles and techniques. I was always a shy, quiet child and learned at an early age to use art for my own expression and communication. Still, as an adult, I use art to communicate what I can’t in words. I am currently a middle school visual arts teacher. I feel it is important for growing children to explore their own feelings, opinions, and be able to express through the language of visual arts.

Artist Statement

Time constantly passes over us leaving behind the remains of what once was. My art largely deals with the passing of time and the commonality of times effect on everything and everybody. I explore time not being a beginning or an ending, but a never-ending cycle. An example of this idea is evident in my painting Rerum Gestarum (Events of Circumstance). Rerum Gestarum is about striving for solidarity and meaning in life, all with the acknowledgement of life’s unpredictable frailness and eventual physical ending, but still existing in time even after we are gone. Growing up on a farm, I was exposed to acres of nature, machinery, and livestock I would spend my time walking down fencerows, exploring creeks, and examining the life cycles of a farm. I was fascinated by expansive spaces, gnarled tree roots, abandoned grain-bins, rusted tools and the expendable livestock. All these things combined started my fascination with cycles of both living organisms and objects.

My earliest artistic influences stem from surrealist artists such as Dali, Magritte, and the organic style of art nouveau. My emphasis in college was clay where I learned and experimented with clay and glaze techniques and recipes. After college I quickly abandoned traditional firing techniques in place of a more primitive alternative pit firing. Much like with my paintings, I use the idea of leaving a fingerprint in time; a fossil. I fire organic material to “paint” a carbon image directly onto the clay’s surface.

My current style is largely influenced by artist, Ben Mahmoud, and his large acrylic paintings, specifically “The Retrospective”. Recurring themes in my work are items that are decayed or are associated with decay, icons of time, and viewing windows to show a moment in that particular time and space. I use recycled materials such as paint, newspaper, house siding, bones, and other organic material in most of my pottery, paintings, and jewelry. I recycle materials to add to an idea of items having a previous life, and being repurposed. I also utilize shadow boxes, focal points, and linear perspective to help guide what my work is trying to communicate to the viewer. I am interested in art that subtly tells a story using lighting, focal points, and or composition. I hope to continue experimenting with different mediums, and using my work to communicate with an ever changing society.

This lecture is part of a series of alumni talks in celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the Department of Archaeology and Art History at the University of Evansville. To kick off our program, UE alumnus Dr. Andrew Reinhard ('94), Director of Publications at the American Numismatic Society in New York, will speak about the archaeology of video games on Wednesday November 11 at 7:00 pm. Dr. Reinhard will discuss ideas of rapid consumerism and accelerated nostalgia while exploring video games as examples of digital built heritage and the second homes of billions of 21st-century humans.

Katie Darby Mullins’ first book of poetry, “Neuro, Typical: Chemical Reactions & Trauma Bonds” (Summer Camp Press) will be released November 17th. The publisher notes: “So often, it’s easy to look at a moment of swift, tragic growth and see it as the defining line: life was before and after that event. But what if the events just keep coming?

Neuro, Typical is a story in poems of Mullins’s recovery from a brain-stem stroke told in disorganized clips and stories: the focus shifts from the physical to the mental and spiritual, from fixed “timeline” events like a housefire to trying to define a relationship there doesn’t seem to be a word for.” Noted poet Kaveh Akbar says it should be read “because when Horace pronounced, over 2000 years ago, “dulce et util!”, that poems must delight and instruct, he was talking about poems like the ones in this gorgeous little volume.”
