Arizona Pro Arte's Halloween Treat is Silent Movie "Nosferatu" with Live Orchestra in Tempe

Theo nguồn tin của trên mạng phoenix.gov Silent classic vampire film ‘Nosferatu’ to be presented in Tempe Center for the Arts with live orchestra; one night only.

http://www.prweb.com/releases/2013/10/prweb11262852.htm

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) October 24, 2013

Before “Twilight,” before “True Blood,” there was “Nosferatu.” Widely considered the most unforgettable film in the vampire genre, this masterwork defined the vampire legend for all films to follow, and offered the most disturbing image of the undead ever seen: the eerie and inhuman Count Orlok.

http://www.azpro arte.com/ [Arizona Pro Arte __title__ Tempe Orchestra] invites Phoenix to celebrate Halloween at the Tempe Center for the Arts with an Oct. 31 screening of this silent classic, with live accompaniment provided by the APA orchestra; a performance experience titled “Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror.”

Taken directly from Bram Stoker’s unforgettable novel “Dracula,” “Nosferatu” was judged so disturbing upon its 1922 release that it was banned in one nation, and the courts of another ordered prints of the film destroyed. But several copies apparently could not be killed, so the cinematic masterpiece has intrigued audiences through the decades to today, and of course, on Halloween.

“Nosferatu” featured many firsts, including special effects that were groundbreaking in its day, as well as ghoulish makeup. And it was filmmaker F.W. Murnau who added a now-familiar twist to vampire lore: that the undead can be killed by sunlight.

The original “Nosferatu” also featured a full orchestra score, performed live during the film, but the music was lost. In years since composers have sought to recreate the score, even reinvent or replace it. As he did for “Alice in Wonderland” last season, APA’s Founding Artistic Director and Conductor Timothy Verville will bring musical life to Murnau’s classic with a score created from familiar orchestral classics by Brahms, Wagner and Dvořák, and lesser-known works, including one created for the project by APA’s newly-appointed composer in residence, Christopher Norby. The Oct. 31 performance at the Tempe Center for the Arts will be the premiere of the new musical score with the film.

Audience members who arrive at 45 minutes before the 7:30 curtain time will enjoy a preconcert discussion of the film and music with Ron Newcomer, author of “Moments in Film.” Newcomer received his degree in arts management and directing from Arizona State University, and has since been involved with more than 1,700 stage, television or film productions. He is a prize-winning screenwriter, a faculty member at Chandler-Gilbert Community College and a previous winner of the Distinguished Teacher of the Year Award from ASU’s Herberger College of the Arts.

“Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror” will be presented one night only, Thursday, Oct. 31, in the Theater of the Tempe Center for the Arts, 700 West Rio Salado Parkway on the south shore of Tempe Town Lake. Ron Newcomer’s pre-concert discussion begins at 6:45 p.m., and the film and performance begin at 7:30. Arizona Pro Arte’s July and August performances sold out, and another sold-out house is expected for “Nosferatu,” so advance ticket purchase is strongly recommended. Information and tickets are available at azproarte.com.

The 2013–14 Arizona Pro Arte season in the Tempe Center for the Arts promises the same fearless and fun artistic synthesis that brought attention to the group in its first season. The orchestra performed live on TV in November of 2012, earning recognition from 12 News Phoenix for “a unique collaboration of performing and visual arts that’s never been done before.” KBAQ-FM likewise described APA’s debut season as “…infused with a vigorous dose of collaboration often utilizing visual arts: film, painting and real-time computer visualizations.”

Theo nguồn tin của trên mạng phoenix.gov Phoenix’s Green Team Invites Residents to Food Day and the Apple Crunch Oct. 22, 2013 The Phoenix Green Team, FitPHX and other city department volunteers, in partnership with Arizona State Department of Health and Maricopa County, are hosting this year’s free Food Day celebration from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 24, at Cesar Chavez Plaza, 251 W. Washington St. The Food Day Festival is part of a national celebration of promoting healthy, affordable and sustainable-produced food. More than 70 vendors representing restaurants and other local organizations will participate in the event’s farmer’s market to distribute food samples and educate attendees on healthy eating, gardening and more. “This is a great opportunity for Phoenix residents to learn about our local healthy food vendors,” said Mayor Greg Stanton. “Food day promotes sustainable food and healthy snacks and I encourage everyone, especially those who work downtown, to stop by.” Mayor Stanton, along with Councilman Daniel Valenzuela; Will Humble, director, Arizona Department of Health Services; Dr. Bob England, director, Maricopa County Department of Public Health; and Olympic Gold Medalist Misty Hyman, will lead event attendees in an “apple crunch.” Free apples will be available and the public will be encouraged to “crunch” into their apple at noon to set a record for the most participants in an apple-crunching event in downtown Phoenix. “There is truth to the old saying ‘you are what you eat’ and Food Day is a great opportunity to start thinking about what we eat and drink, and ensuring everyone has access to quality, affordable, locally-produced food, ” said Councilman Daniel Valenzuela. “Making just a few small changes – like eating more fresh vegetables – can make a big difference in long-term health and quality of life.” Attendees are encouraged to share their Food Day experience on social media using the hashtag #FoodDayPHX. For more information, contact Gail LaTour at 602-262-7119 or email gail.latour@phoenix.gov. For more information on National Food Day, visit foodday.org.

Viện Bảo Tàng Pueblo Grande Triển Lãm Tranh Phố Ma Ngày 25 Tháng 10

Theo nguồn tin của trên mạng phoenix.gov Pueblo Grande Museum to Feature Ghost Town Exhibit Sept. 12, 2013 Kurt Wenner Photo Phoenix’s Pueblo Grande Museum will open an exhibit Oct. 25 of little-seen images of ghost towns of Arizona. The exhibit “Ghost Towns of Arizona: Photography of Kurt Wenner” features more than 40 photographs of Arizona ghost towns the photographer shot between 1996 and 2006. Because most ghost towns in Arizona are unprotected and vulnerable to vandalism, looting, and the decay brought about by the elements and time, the exhibit provides rare glimpses of ghost towns when they were still relatively rich with clues and relics of past inhabitants. Though many of the places and structures in the images no longer survive, this exhibit strives to tell the story that not all history is written by people who live in big cities and. It presents history from the point of view of the small, personal places in towns that are and were less well known, much less frequented, and were inhabited for only a short time. The exhibit will be on display at Pueblo Grande Museum through August 2014 and is included with general museum admission. The museum is located at 4619 E. Washington St., just minutes form Sky Harbor International Airport. (Photograph by Kurt Wenner – 1996) Media Contact: David Urbinato 602-262-4994

Lead Poisoning Prevention Week: Oct. 20-26

Theo nguồn tin của trên mạng phoenix.gov Oct. 18, 2013 The city of Phoenix Neighborhood Services Department (NSD) is participating in National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week, Oct. 20-26, to raise awareness of the consequences of lead poisoning among parents and pregnant women who live in homes built before 1978. NSD’s Lead Hazard Control Program, along with Maricopa County and other community partners, join the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in encouraging parents to learn more about how to prevent lead poisoning. “Childhood lead poisoning is the most common environmental disease of children and is entirely preventable,” said Chris Hallett, director of NSD. “In addition to this coming week, our staff works year around to educate our community about the harmful effects of lead at various community events, while hosting workshops, conducting presentations to organizations or schools and more.” Hundreds of thousands of children living in the country have elevated blood lead levels that may cause significant damage to their health. They can develop behavior and learning problems (such as hyperactivity), slowed growth, hearing problems and aggressive patterns of behavior. Stopping a child’s exposure to lead from leaded paint, house dust or any other source is the best way to prevent the harmful effects of lead. The goals of National Lead Poisoning Week are to: raise awareness about lead poisoning; stress the importance of screening the highest risk children younger than 6 years of age (preferably by ages 1 and 2); highlight efforts to prevent childhood lead poisoning; and urge people to take steps to reduce lead exposure. This year’s theme, “Lead-Free Kids for a Healthy Future,” highlights the importance of testing your home, testing your child and learning how to prevent lead poisoning’s serious health effects. Parents can reduce a child’s exposure to lead in many ways. If your home was built before 1978, here are some simple things you can do to help protect your family: Mop smooth floors (using a damp mop) weekly to control dust. Vacuum carpets and upholstery to remove dust, using a vacuum with a HEPA filter or a “high efficiency” collection bag. Take off shoes when entering the house. Pick up loose paint chips carefully with a paper towel; wipe the surface clean with a wet paper towel. Frequently wash your child’s hands and toys to reduce exposure. Get your child tested. Even if your young children seem healthy, ask your doctor to test them for lead. To learn more or to schedule a presentation with NSD’s Lead Hazard Control Program, call 602-534-4444 or visit phoenix.gov/NSD. Media Contact: Stephanie Ribodal Romero, 602-261-8512
