EUA - Musicais - Brasileiro Vence Prêmio Tony

Da Folha Online:

Brasileiro leva Prêmio Tony de teatro em Nova York

O barítono brasileiro Paulo Szot, 38, venceu na noite deste domingo (15) o Prêmio Tony, na categoria melhor ator em musical, em Nova York (EUA). Ele foi indicado ao prêmio por sua atuação no musical "South Pacific", que levou sete prêmios no Oscar do teatro dos EUA.

O ator superou a resistência da Broadway a estrangeiros e levou o prêmio ante os concorrentes Daniel Evans ("Sunday in the Park with George"), Stew ("Passing Strange"), Tom Wopat ("A Catered Affair") e Lin-Manuel Miranda ("In The Heights").

Paulista de Ribeirão Pires, Szot atuou durante 12 anos como cantor lírico. Em entrevista recente, o ator disse que jamais imaginaria que a Broadway contrataria um brasileiro para interpretar um francês para uma peça.

O musical "South Pacific" se passa em uma ilha tropical durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial e conta a história de dois casais, formados com membros da Marinha dos EUA e moradores locais, afetados pela ameaça da guerra.

Na peça, Szot interpreta Emile de Becque, um fazendeiro francês que se apaixona por Nellie Forbush (Kelli O'Hara), uma enfermeira da Marinha.

Além do prêmio de melhor ator, a peça levou o prêmio de direção, cenografia, iluminação, som e figurino. "South Pacific", que estreou em 1949, também levou o prêmio de melhor "revival" pela volta aos palcos.

O ator já pôde ser visto em São Paulo em teatros como o Alfa, onde atuou nos últimos dez anos sob direção de nomes do teatro nacional como Jorge Takla e José Possi Neto.

A cerimônia de entrega do Prêmio Tony foi realizada no Radio City Musical Hall.

O musical "In the Heights", sobre a vida da população latina em Manhattan, ganhou o prêmio de melhor musical, enquanto "August: Osage County", sobre uma família de Oklahoma, levou como a melhor peça.

Do Globo Online:

Quando foi indicado, há um mês, ao prêmio mais importante do teatro americano, o Tony Awards, o cantor brasileiro Paulo Szot disse que preferia não pensar no assunto para manter os pés no chão e se concentrar em seu trabalho diário, estrelando o musical da Broadway "South Pacific". Agora, já pode tirar os pés do chão. No domingo à noite, ele foi anunciado vencedor do prêmio na categoria "Melhor performance de ator principal em um musical", como mostra matéria de Eduardo Fradkin publicada no jornal O Globo.

A ocasião é marcada por estréias. Este é o primeiro musical da carreira de Szot, barítono especializado em óperas. É a primeira vez que um brasileiro vira astro da Broadway, e ele é o primeiro a ganhar um prêmio Tony, considerado o Oscar do teatro americano.

Ao ser declarado vencedor, ele disse, em português, numa transmissão ao vivo pelo site do Tony:

- Dedico esse prêmio aos artistas brasileiros, especialmente àqueles que lutam por um reconhecimento nacional e internacional. Um beijo no coração, Brasil.

Szot era o favorito em sua categoria. Vinha de uma sucessão de vitórias. Foi eleito melhor ator de musical desta temporada pelos júris do Outer Critics Circle Awards, do Drama Desk Awards e do Theatre World Awards (este, restrito a estreantes na Broadway e na off-Broadway).

Brenda Bufalino, 70 Anos

Neste dia 07 de setembro de 2007, Mrs. Brenda Bufalino, fundadora, diretora e coreógrafa da American Tap Dance Foundation (ex-American Tap Dance Orchestra), completa 70 anos.

Anos atrás ela esteve no Brasil (durante o Tap Encontro 1999, no Rio de Janeiro), e certamente os sapateadores que participaram de seu workshop e assistiram sua apresentação jamais vão esquecer. Quem teve ou tem oportunidade de ir a Nova York e participar de seus cursos também: momentos junto a Brenda Bufalino, seja assistindo suas performances, seja apreciando suas coreografias, seja fazendo suas aulas ou mesmo apenas ouvindo suas histórias de vida, são momentos sempre engrandecedores.

Talvez os praticantes mais novos da arte do sapateado - e são centenas de novos alunos nos últimos anos - ainda não a conheçam e, justamente por conta desses novos sapateadores, é importante que os professores sempre lembrem-se de falar sobre os grandes nomes mundiais em sala de aula. Por conta disso, Mrs. Brenda foi um dos temas do programa Tap Brasil desta quinta, 06.09.2007, e será sempre lembrada aqui no blog.

E por toda a internet há diversos sites a respeito. Você pode ler mais sobre esta que é uma das mais brilhantes sapateadoras e coreógrafas de todos os tempos, um dos responsáveis diretos pelo renascimento do sapateado americano no mundo na década de 70 e uma das mais atuantes difusoras do sapateado pelo mundo na atualidade, clicando por exemplo aqui:

Tap-Tap-Tapping Out a Message of Style, Not Just Skill
By JENNIFER DUNNING

The summer Tap City festival is always breezy, hard-dancing fun. Tap enthusiasts are the best kind of audience: generous and appreciative, including both fans and old-time tap stars who don’t happen to be performing that night but often join those onstage for the infectiously spirited, full-cast "Shim Sham Shimmy" that ends each program. And Tony Waag, the founder of the festival, is the most genial and relaxed of hosts, a slightly melancholic, blithe spirit who overcame the usual odds of dance presenting to end this seventh annual festival, which also includ ed classes, workshops and panel discussions, with four sold-out shows.

The "Tap Forward" show on Friday at the Duke on 42nd Street didn’t need the electricity of a packed house to be exciting. The program of dance by relatively new tappers, with a few veterans thrown in, was one of those “remember when” nights. Style triumphed over mere technique and concept here, with one terrific act and soloist following another, building to mid-show standing ovations and a final jubilant roar from the audience.

Thursday’s "Tap Internationals" program had been heavy on technique and concept and suggested, dispiritingly, that the world was full of disciples of Savion Glover who lacked that tap star’s distinctive exaltation. Friday’s show opened with an expert group number by the Tap City Youth Ensemble, followed by the feather-footed, musically astute Margaret Morrison and the Bay Area Dance Company. "Mr. Kicks", a solo performed by DeWitt Fleming Jr., was more song than dance. And then the floodgates opened, with one dancer after another pouring out onto the stage to remind you that the styles of the great old tap stars — at least those who resurfaced in the vivid 1970s tap reunions around New York — were about individual personality as much as dance skills.

My favorites were two irresistible soloists and two groups. Michelle Dorrance, who appeared in several numbers, looks like the actress Hilary Swank and dances like some of the oddball characters Ms. Swank tends to play. Ms. Dorrance was an untamable, tomboyish force of nature in "Baobabs", a little jewel of a trio that also featured the pianist Matthew Chicurel and Miriam Chicurel, whose translucent voice sang of taming love.

Rangy, skinny and unpredictable, Ms. Dorrance also danced in "Charlie’s Angels", a sizzling trio of dancers choreographed by Jason Samuels Smith, and performed with two other exquisite stylists, Dormeshia Sumbry-Edwards and Chloe Arnold. And Ms. Dorrance danced as if she knew a secret or two but wasn’t telling in an exuberant and crisp finale with Barbara Duffy & Company.

Parris Mann’s tap world is universes distant from that of Ms. Dorrance. Tucked into a large velvet jacket, Mr. Mann jousted with gravity in a solo in "With Love to Deborah Mitchell", performed by Ms. Mitchell’s New Jersey Tap Ensemble, which should immediately set up shop in Manhattan.

Mr. Mann is a showman, but he has the tap chops to back up the good-natured pizzazz with musically phrased volleys of footwork punctuated by sudden quick tilts to the floor, ponderous yet soufflé light, that were a surprise and a pleasure in a time when tap seems to have settled into loose verticality. The piano playing of J. Leonard Oxley added much to the suite.

The dancing of Jason Samuels Smith, an established star and tap force of nature, was another great pleasure, as was that of Karen Callaway Williams, a gifted traditionalist with laughing eyes. Sarah Savelli’s well-choreographed "Summertime" offered ample opportunity for stylish self-expression by four vivid soloists: Ayodele Casel, a New York favorite, and Michela Marino-Lerman, Carson Murphy and Ms. Savelli.

The evening included the presentation of the Tap City Tap Preservation Award to Susan Goldbetter, the Hoofer Award to Ms. Mitchell and the "Toe-Knee" Award to Michele Ribble for what Mr. Waag described as her sustaining friendship.

Thursday’s "Tap International" program, also at the Duke, nearly drowned in extraneous elements like saxophones and a Carmen Miranda getup. But there were a few highlights, including a solo by the superb Japanese tapper Kazu Kumagai, an exuberant number by Sharon Leahy’s Rhythm in Shoes tap and hoedown troupe from Dayton, Ohio, and a wittily phrased duet, "Pa’ Los Rumberos", choreographed and danced by Max Pollak and Chikako Iwahori.

The level of dancing was otherwise respectable, from performers including Jussi Lindroos (Finland); Alexander Ivashkevich and Anton Merkulov (Estonia); Reco Cheng and Ringo Yang (Taiwan); a Japanese quartet (Takahiro Kobayashi, Mr. Kumagai, Daisuke Omiya and Shoko Taniguchi); Gilberto de Syllos and a mugging Christiane Matallo (Brazil); Ms. Iwahori (Japan); Ms. Duffy and Andrea DelConte (United States); and Mr. Pollak’s multinational Rumba Tap, described in the program as representing "the Globe".

Both shows were considerably buoyed by musical accompaniment provided by Bernice Brooks (drums), Theo Hill (piano) and Joe Fonda (bass).
