Sometimes the most fundamental function of art is simply to assert the artist’s own existence—to literally make their mark, to preserve the contours of their life and times for history, and to offer their experience, testament, and vision to the world around them right now. In the case of multidisciplinary artist Page Person, that experience and vision centers around their own process of becoming who they are. Across drawing, painting, sculpture, storytelling, music, and performance, Person first processed, then repaired and transcended her experience of ostracization from the art world community that followed her coming out as trans—and her powerful subsequent experience of stepping into her power. Asserting her personhood in the face of ongoing attempts at political marginalization and erasure, expressing the kaleidoscopic rainbow of her innate human potential, Person has become her own greatest muse and gratefully offers her own lived experience as a prism through which we can al...

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 11:56:28 GMT

The title character in “Harry Clarke,” the solo show that Billy Crudup is performing at Berkeley Repertory Theatre, is a devilishly charismatic, jet-setting Londoner who charms the pants off the members of a wealthy New York family. He’s also a sham.Clarke is actually Philip Brugglestein, an insecure guy from the Midwest who works in a coffee shop in New York City, and stage and screen star Crudup deftly juggles these two personas as well as 17 other characters in this dizzying yarn written by renowned solo performer David Cale.“It’s part charm show, it’s part thrill ride, and then it’s a claustrophobic attack in the style of film noir,” says Crudup. “And you just don’t see that very much in the theater.”A Tony Award-winning stage actor (“The Coast of Utopia,” “The Elephant Man,” “Arcadia”), Crudup is also famous for his starring screen roles in films such as “Almost Famous,” “Big Fish” and “Watchmen” and the TV series “Gypsy,” “The Morning Show” and “Hello Tomorrow!”As performed by...
