Reporting from the other side

Is it over?
For the first time in three weeks, a day in my Google Calendar is completely, utterly empty. There’s nothing there but the date – June 11 – and a blank expanse of white space. My brain is fried, my innards are pickled, my back is killing me, and my culture tank is fully [...]
Buzzcast central
June 10, 2007 – 1:31 pm
On Friday, the Lowbrow slipped away from morning coffee for a duck into the ersatz podcasting booth at The Post and Courier, where he and fellow CP blogger Jonathan Sanchez became one with an entourage of that paper’s present and former Spoleto reporters and bloggers. Listen to the resulting “bloggers summit” podcast here.
After the big [...]
Buzzcast: Aurélia Thierrée
June 9, 2007 – 4:41 pm
After seeing Aurélia Thierrée’s dreamlike Oratorio at Emmett Robinson Thursday evening, I was delighted to be able to sit down with the performer and co-creator of the remarkable work (with her mother, Victoria Thierrée Chaplin) for a conversation about it, fitting into a chest of drawers with two other people, and being a granddaughter of [...]
Big Bang
June 1, 2007 – 6:34 pm
Last night’s program was exactly the prescription needed to heal what’s been ailing this Spoleto Buzz blogger in the past eight days. Faustus and L’ile de Merlin both tousled festival audiences’ hair in their ways, but so far Spoleto 07’s been absent any real, knock-your-hat off-and-lick-you-up-and-down surprises. We got it Thursday evening with the Foundry [...]
Buzzcast #8: Shen Wei
May 31, 2007 – 9:37 am
Yesterday I had the opportunity to sit down with Shen Wei, the Chinese-born choreographer, painter, and filmmaker whose company Shen Wei Dance Arts returns to Charleston this season to perform his acclaimed dance work “Connect Transfer,” in which he and his dancers use their bodies as living paintbrushes, tracing patterns on a canvas floor. Trained [...]

Buzzcast #4: The Have Nots
May 28, 2007 – 9:58 pm
Buzzcast number four is finally out (sorry for the delay — a busted internet connection is to blame), and it’s a good one: a chat with Greg Tavares and Brandy Sullivan of The Have Nots!, whose massive Piccolo Fringe this year brings in so me of the best comedy on seven continents. Early reviews are [...]
Buzzcast #3: Julian Wiles
May 24, 2007 – 12:18 am
He’s being kicked out of the Dock Street Theatre for three years while it undergoes a top-to-bottom facelift, but Julian Wiles is not slowing down – he’s just taking Charleston Stage Company, which he founded 30 years ago, up the street a ways. Tonight (May 24), Wiles inaugurates his temporary new home at the [...]
Spoleto Buzzcast #2: John Kennedy
May 18, 2007 – 2:57 pm
You may or may not know of Spoleto organizer John Kennedy. If you don’t, you should. Kennnedy is the programming mind behind one of the Big Festival’s bombdiggitiest series, Music in Time, which spotlights the most interesting developments in what used to be considered classical music, but nowadays — and this is the point of [...]
