VII. CURRENT BUSINESS
A. Items for Review and Possible Action
4. Proposal for a Poet Laureate Pilot Program in Newport Beach
The City Arts Commission will review and discuss the Music and Live Entertainment
Ad Hoc Subcommittee suggestions for creating a Poet Laureate Pilot Program.
Director Hartson reported on the proposal for a Poet Laureate Pilot Program based on
Gianna D’Egidio’s submission to the Music and Live Entertainment subcommittee. In
reviewing the proposal, the subcommittee suggested including poetry performances at
City Arts Commission events and possibly introducing a student poetry contest.
Commissioner George inquired if there is a cost for the program and if there is any budget
involved. Library Services Director Hartson responded that currently the financial cost
appeared to be minimal, there would be no honorariums paid, and minimal cost for
advertising the contest. There is a small amount of extra money available in the budget
for such expenditures.
Chair Kandel explained that whoever took the lead for the program would also be in charge
of spearheading the poetry contest. The Commission would have a role but would not be
the ones administering the contest.
Commissioner Moore asked if it could also be incorporated into readings at the libraries.
Chair Kandel stated that it could potentially grow into a larger program, they were first
interested in seeing how it unfolded during the first year.
Chair Kandel opened public comment.

Gianna D’Egidio, Newport Beach resident, thanked the Commission for considering the
proposal and respecting the role of poets within the city. Poetry has been an important
way to preserve stories and art culture, she appreciates the Commission recognizing that
and moving forward with the program. She is available for involvement if the Commission
is interested in her assistance.
Chair Kandel closed public comment.
B. Monthly Reports
5. Art in Public Places Ad Hoc Subcommittee
Vice Chair Blom, Commissioner Flanagan, Commissioner Moore
Commissioner Moore reported the subcommittee reached out to the artists that were not
approved and asked them to submit more work if they were interested in doing so.
6. Music and Live Entertainment Ad Hoc Subcommittee
Chair Kandel, Secretary Ignatin, Commissioner Flanagan
Chair Kandel stated the subcommittee is in the process of reviewing the submissions that
were provided by Cultural Arts Assistant Escareal-Garcia, they will set a meeting date and
return to the Commission at a future date.
7. Cultural Arts Grants Ad Hoc Subcommittee
Vice Chair Blom, Commissioner Kaufman, Commissioner Moore
Commissioner Moore reported the committee had been working on submitting information
to different art groups around the city to better gage interest in applying for grants. They
are waiting to hear if there is an option for Newport Theatre Arts Center to apply for grant
funding. The theater had been previously denied from applying for grants because it is on
City property, which may be against policy for requesting additional funds. The
Commission is welcome to provide feedback on any specific organizations that they know
may have an interest. All Arts Commissioners can reach out to organizations to apply, the
subcommittee is not a screening panel for outreach.

REPORT (NON-DISCUSSION ITEM)

CULTURAL ARTS GRANT APPLICATION
1. Briefly describe below your organization’s purpose, mission, and goals.
Overview
Backhausdance, Orange County’s premiere contemporary dance company, was founded in 2003 by
award-winning choreographer Jennifer Backhaus, Newport Beach resident and Chapman University dance
faculty member. Over the past two decades, the company has grown into a nationally recognized leader in
contemporary dance, highly regarded for its stunning performances, meaningful and inspiring education
programs, and strong commitment to community engagement. Known for its artistic excellence,
Backhausdance presents original works at theaters and outdoor spaces throughout Orange County including
Sherman Library and Gardens in Corona del Mar, as well as throughout Southern California.
At the heart of Backhausdance is a steadfast dedication to inclusivity, equity, and diversity—embracing all
perspectives and ensuring that dance is accessible to people of all ages and abilities. With 13 part-time
professional dancers, a part-time apprentice, 4 artistic and education staff members, a committed Board of
Directors, and volunteers, the company continues to enrich lives through the transformative power of
contemporary dance. We are proudly celebrating our 22nd year of creativity, growth, and community
connection in 24-25. Since our beginning we have operated without a dedicated studio or office site.
Mission, Purpose, and Goals
The mission of Backhausdance is to inspire and engage diverse audiences with the vitality of contemporary
dance—both as an art form and a means of creative expression. Backhausdance aims to expand the reach of
contemporary dance in Newport Beach, Orange County, and beyond. Education is a critical part of our
mission, with programs designed to introduce students to the beauty of contemporary dance, foster creativity,
and build cultural understanding. We are dedicated to empowering the next generation of dancers by offering
life-changing opportunities such as our annual three-week Summer Intensive, where we provide scholarships
for teens, university-level students, and professionals.Through collaborations with schools, higher education
institutions, community organizations, and arts venues, Backhausdance ensures high-quality, impactful arts
experiences that unify and enrich our communities, advocating for “ dance every day for every body. ”
.
2. Identify and describe why there is a need in the Newport Beach Community for your proposed
project/program.
Dance instruction is limited in Newport-Mesa Unified School District (NMUSD), leaving students without
access to its many physical, social, and academic benefits and sparking their interest to consider further study
in dance and the arts. Our program, Dance Expressions: Creativity and Choreography, provides over 150
middle and high school students the chance to have a unique opportunity to have an in-depth experience into
the world of their own local professional contemporary dance company through workshops and
performances. For most students, this is the first time seeing a contemporary dance performance in the school
theater in the Newport Beach community. Additionally, with students performing in the Fall Choreography
Showcase at Corona del Mar Middle/HS, families and friends of students have a broader, shared view of the
impact and need for dance and cultural enrichment in Newport Beach.
This program provides a vital, physical and creative outlet for teens as they are faced with numerous
academic and social pressures, with many having increased anxiety, depression. By addressing gaps in arts
education and cultural enrichment, Dance Expressions enhances the lives of Newport Beach residents and
strengthens pride in the community. Research studies (Naional Dance Education Association) and numerous
others reflect the positive connection between dance, psychological and cognitive outcomes. According to
CDM dance director Morgan Beckman and BB High School dance teacher Cami Marseilles, “ Dance
Expressions introduces students to contemporary dance techniques taught by their local professional
company. It expands their college and career opportunities, builds confidence, and promotes well-being.”

3. Describe the specific project/program that will be funded by a cultural grant. Include how the proposed
project/program will be implemented and outline a schedule or project timeline, with planned dates and
locations. Identify individuals and groups involved, particularly artists and performers, and describe their
roles and responsibilities. Describe the background and qualifications of your organization and key personnel
to be involved in the program. Remember: the City funds only projects and programs- not operating
expenses. These projects and programs must promote community involvement and awareness of the arts in
Newport Beach.
Is this a new _____ or existing __ X _ _ project/program? Backhausdance proposes to present Dance Expressions: Creativity and Choreography , an in-depth dance
education partnership with three schools in Newport-Mesa Unified School District (NMUSD): Corona del
Mar Middle/High School (CDM), Back Bay High School (BB) and Newport Harbor High School (NHHS),
during September - December 2025. Dance Expression s offers a unique opportunity for over 150 Newport
Beach teens to have an immersive educational experience working alongside Backhausdance professional
dancers. Students will learn Backhausdance contemporary technique, choreography, composition,
improvisation, partnering, movement vocabulary, and performance presentation. Backhausdance instructors,
in collaboration with the students, will develop new choreography for the Fall 2025 Student Showcase
performances at CDM for Newport Beach residents and the public, November 20-21, 2025. Dance
Expressions participants will gain understanding on how to express their creativity, emotions, tell stories and
communicate through dance while exploring career pathways into professions in the performing arts.

Backhausdance company performs new repertory for our 25/26 Season with facilitated discussion by Jennifer
Backhaus, artistic director, and Amanda Kay White, associate artistic director, to break down the dance
movement phrases, production, lighting, costumes and musical elements, with question & answer session
between dancers and audience. Invitations are sent to additional CDM, BB and NMUSD high schools with
transportation provided by NMUSD. Additional guests include CDM administrators, NMUSD School Board
members, Newport Beach Arts Commission and Backhausdance Board (many are Newport Beach residents).
4. Define or describe the segment of the population in Newport Beach that you intend to serve by your
project/program. Include such things as age, location, numbers served, etc.
D ance Expressions will serve 750+ students, grades 7 -12, ages 13-18, from CDM, BB, and NHHS,
teachers, administrators, as well as over 600 audience members attending the Fall Showcase at CDM. Most
students have had little to no involvement with a professional dance company or had the opportunity to see a
contemporary/modern dance performance in Newport Beach. The experience will engage students’ critical
thinking abilities and imaginations in a safe environment while they develop new artistic skills to balance
their academic and socio-emotional stressors. Backhausdance professional teaching artists are skilled at
working with students of all abilities to engage a diverse range of ages, skill levels and backgrounds.

6. Describe the expected quantifiable outcomes of your project/program and how you will evaluate the
results. Be very specific in addressing the ways that you will determine that your project/program met
the needs that you identified and accomplishes the goals you set out to achieve (i.e. you provide 50
hours of musical instruction and instruments to the 100 children at Newport Elementary school as
measured by music store rental receipts and logs of instructors.)
Dance Expressions: Creativity and Choreography aligns with California Department of Education standards
for Dance, Physical Education, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and Social-Emotional Learning
(SEL). Expected outcomes include:
● Skill Development: 95% of participants will demonstrate understanding of contemporary dance
technique including: movement vocabulary, improvisation, choreography, and teamwork,
● Engagement and Inspiration: 90% of participants will report increased self-confidence, creativity,
appreciation for dance as an art form and new awareness of college and career opportunities.
Program evaluation includes quantitative and qualitative methods to assess the residency's accomplishments
and significance, providing over 45 hours of instruction to approximately 150 middle and high school
students and performances to an additional 600+ high school students. Tools including daily attendance,
online pre- and post-surveys, reflective discussions, and student essays will measure growth in technical
skills, creativity, teamwork, confidence, and the joy of learning and performing. Feedback from students,
educators, administrators, and parents will also reflect the overall impact of seeing a greater appreciation for
dance as an art form and a possible career pathway. Teaching artists record daily notes to track progress and
make refinements as needed. An artistic and educational team consisting of Jennifer Backhaus and Nancy
Warzer-Brady (also a Newport Beach resident) collaborates closely with CDM, BB and NHHS educators
along with Tamara Fairbanks, NMUSD visual and performing arts coordinator) to plan and ensure the
program's success. Nancy Warzer-Brady coordinates the residency, scheduling and overseeing
dancers/teaching artists, workshops and performances, to promote and reinforce strong community
engagement and cultural benefit to the City of Newport Beach.

Musica Transalpina is a professional vocal & period instrument Ensemble dedicated to the research & performance of Baroque sacred music, including extremely rare and ambitious pieces. We are committed to the highest standards of musical research and artistic excellence.
The Ensemble is quickly becoming one of the leading interpreters of Baroque music in the nation. Led by Orange County native, Bryan Roach, Musica Transalpina seeks to address a lack of performances of this obscure and forgotten but exquisitely beautiful musical era.
Of particular interest is the exposure of the youth to this period of music, as well as serving areas of Southern California where this music is less easily available. Various demographics, especially families with children or the elderly population, find distance to sacred music events is an obstruction and it is a joy for the Ensemble to offer events in closer geographical proximity to fill this gap.
Based on the exploration of sacred music events and various ensembles available in
Southern California, particularly of world-class caliber, Orange County is
markedly less saturated than Los Angeles, including Newport Beach where we have
many Baroque music enthusiasts. Despite this love for the music, few are willing
to travel the hours required to attend deep in Los Angeles County, or are simply
unable to; we get this feedback regularly.
Los Angeles is internationally well-known as offering the highest quality of all
kinds of sacred music, but few recognize the challenges of distance for the more
local but still distant Southern Californian population.
In particular, we see a great resonance with school-aged children and youth, as
well as the senior population; these demographics, however, are also the least
likely to be able to bridge the gap to events far away.
It does not need to be this way.
Our desire is to see Orange County, with Newport Beach as one of the the main
hubs, become a destination for top tier classical music. Our organization is best
equipped to perform some of the most difficult and rare pieces of the Baroque
period at the highest level of artistic excellence, as well as well-networked to
successfully affect the musical climate of the city and area, including the lives
of students at schools. Our talent roster is uncompromisingly excellent, as will
be shared in a following question, and our director is both extremely passionate
about Baroque music and capable of bringing it fully to life at the highest
quality. Though a young organization, our Ensemble has already successfully
completed many performances, to the delight and enthusiasm of a growing base of
listeners. We can be trusted to execute a proposed program at the utmost
professional standards.

Our specific program for which this grant will be applicable will be a performance of very
rare Baroque music at St. Mark’s Presbyterian Church in Newport Beach.*
The program, comprised of Marian hymns by female composers of the 17th Century, will be added
as an annotation in conjunction with this application. Our roster of musicians and singers
are top tier professionals in Southern California and include: multi-award-winning soloist,
Anna Schubert; guitar instrumentalist and founder of the Boston Baroque music festival,
Stephen Stubbs, and Maxine Islander, professor at USC and known as the world’s best Baroque
harpist.
Our Ensemble has consistently executed on highly-ambitious, rare Baroque music in a variety
of contexts in the last few years, helping to kindle serious and growing interest in
classical music generally and historical Baroque music specifically, including among many
high school students in attendance at our performances.
Our founder and director, Bryan Roach, is of unique caliber and excellence, and able to
attract Southern California’s greatest classical music talent. Upon reception of the grant,
he will immediately book our singers and musicians, with three daily rehearsals (May 15th,
16th, and 17th) immediately preceding the performance on Sunday, May 18th, 2025, at 4:00pm.
As said in earlier sections, the Ensemble is passionate about increasing interest in
Baroque music in currently unfamiliar demographics, as well as serving existing
demographics in being able to attend performances and events more easily.
We are especially focused on getting students out to experience this music in a
beautiful context, as an encounter with the arts in this way is frequently the most
powerful; we have had regular feedback that high school age attendees are developing
a passion for this music simply through attendance at our concerts.
To this end, we have planned outreach to the various local schools, targeting ages 7
up to 18, with an emphasis on 6th Grade and up band and choral students. Our goal is
to draw 50 students to the performance by offering them complimentary tickets through
the schools’ arts and music programs.
While the students are our concrete focus for this event, we are also aware of and
grateful for our senior aged attendees and enthusiasts, and are grateful to offer a
more distance-accessible options for this music specifically for them.
*We are in conversation with St. Mark’s and anticipating this venue working, but have several
other alternate venue options in the unlikely event of any difficulty.

We will consider our program a success when we draw 150+ attendees total, with 50 of
those from Newport Beach and surrounding area schools in the age category 7-18/2nd
Grade-12th Grade. Our goal is to succeed at this first goal, take in the information from
our first experience offering this in a formal way, and apply that experience to future
concerts, with a view to making attendance with this demographic more regular, fruitful,
and numerous.
Quantitatively, we will also ask for teachers of student attendees to offer feedback
about the event and student experience with the same future, long-term goals in mind.

Notes: we are attaching the list of performers and their respective pay for rehearsals and performance, along with the director fee. Marketing will be for Meta ads, and is not our only means of promotion. The equipment needed is a period-based organ. Our other funding sources are a combination of donations and ticket sales, and we are confident that those sources, combined with this grant, will make this a great success.

2 • SOUTH COAST REPERTORY• The Incredible Book Eating Boy
T heatre is an art form that depends on both the artists and the audience. A performance is influenced by an audience,
just as an audience is influenced by a performance. With this play, the artists and staff of South Coast Repertory
have created a special new world for you. Sometimes that world is so exciting that you can barely hold still. But
remember: once the play begins, you are connected to all the other people in the audience, as well as to the actors on
the stage, because you’re all in the same room. The actors can see you, hear you and feel you, just as you can see, hear
and feel them. Your attention, involvement, responses and imagination are a real part of each and every performance. The play
can actually be made better because of you!
STUDENT TIPS FOR THEATRE TRIPS
•Stay with your group at all times and pay attention to your teachers and chaperones.
•Take your seat in the theatre before going to the bathroom or getting a drink of water.
•Make yourself comfortable while keeping movement to a minimum.
•Do not stand up, walk around or put your feet on the seat in front of you.
•Absolutely no chewing gum, eating or drinking in the building.
•No backpacks, cameras or electronic devices are permitted in the theatre.
•Feel free to talk quietly in your seats before the show.
•Show your appreciation by clapping for the actors at the end of the play.
•After the lights come back up, wait for the ushers to escort your group out of the theatre.
THEATRE VOCABULARY
• Backstage The space behind the acting area, unseen by the audience.
• Blocking The movement designed by the director and performed by the actors.
• Box Office A windowed space at the front of the theatre building where tickets are sold.
• Choreography The art of creating and arranging dances onstage.
• Cue The last words or action of an actor immediately preceding the lines or business of another actor.
• Downstage The part of the stage closest to the audience. At one time, stages were raked, or sloped, with the lower
(“down”) part closest to the audience, and the higher (“up”) part farther away.
• Green Room A room near the stage where actors await entrance cues and receive guests. The room’s name comes
from Elizabethan times, when actors waited on a real “green” (or patch of grass).
• Matinee A morning or afternoon performance of a play.
• Props All the hand-held items and stage furnishings, including furniture, that are physically used by the actors.
• Rehearsal Time performers use to practice privately before a performance in front of an audience.
• Script The text of the play, including dialogue and stage directions, all written by the playwright.
• Upstage The area of the stage farthest away from the audience and nearest to the back wall.

The Incredible Book Eating Boy •SOUTH COAST REPERTORY •3
It’s the first day of third grade, and eight-year-
old Henry is feeling queasy. His friends, Jeff and
Olivia, think third grade is where it’s at, and Ms.
Penny, their new teacher, seems super nice. But
for Henry, there’s one big problem—there are
no books with pictures in the third grade. Henry hates
reading books, especially the ones that have too many
words in them!
After a frustrating first day at school, Henry feels
behind already and doesn’t know what to do. That
is until he sees his dog, Rover, swallow a book whole
and—miraculously—start to speak in English. Henry is
surprised to say the least, but then he decides to give it a
try himself. He eats a page of his math textbook, and once
he does, he’s suddenly ready for the big test the next day.
Henry doesn’t stop at just one book, though. He begins
eating all his textbooks, and his new diet puts him at the
top of his class. The more books he eats, the more facts
he has at his fingertips. The Louisiana Purchase? Henry
knows all about that. Newton’s Law of Gravity? Easy to
explain. The lifespan of a tortoise? Who doesn’t know
that they can live nearly 200 years?! Henry certainly does.
He knows everything. He’s the Incredible Book Eating
Boy!
But after a while, Henry’s eating habits start to cause some
problems. Without realizing it, Henry has eaten all the
books in the classroom, and now there are none left for
the other students to read. Even worse, Henry’s stomach
hasn’t been feeling all that well. In fact, it feels awful—
awful enough to throw up. And when Henry does, papers
go flying everywhere!
The doctor writes Henry a prescription: No more eating
books. That’s the best way to avoid the jumbly-wumblies,
the medical term for what happens when someone eats
too many books. Unfortunately, that leaves Henry in his
original predicament, with books all around him and no
way to absorb the information. There’s only one thing
left for Henry to try…and that’s reading.
The reading is slow going at first, but soon Henry discov-
ers that everyone approaches reading a little bit differently
and that everyone likes reading different things. Henry
likes comic books, for example, specifically the way they
combine text, pictures, and imagination.
By the time he reaches the fourth grade, Henry has fallen
in love with books. Not eating them but reading them.
THE STORY OF THE INCREDIBLE BOOK EATING BOY
The Play
Did you know The Incredible Book Eating
Boy is inspired by an award-winning
picture book of the same name, written
and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers? It was
first published in 2006 and won the 2007
Irish Book Award for Children’s Book
of the Year. The musical adaptation is
written by Madhuri Shekar, with music
and lyrics by Christian Magby and
Christian Albright. It received its world
premiere production in 2022 at the
Alliance Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia.

sion and ask the students about their experience attending
live theatre.
1. What was the first thing you noticed about the
theatre? What did the stage look like?
2. Discuss the technical elements of the production—
the sets, costumes, lights, and sound. Ask the
students what they liked best and why. How did
these elements create and define Henry’s world?
3. The original book inspired the overall production
design for the play. What similarities or differences
did you notice?
4. In musicals, characters express themselves through
music and movement. How did the songs
help move the story forward? How did the
choreography show you the differences between
the characters?
5. How is attending a live performance
different from attending a movie? How
does your experience change when you
know the story is being performed live
and the actors can see and hear you?
Discussion about the Play
1. What was your favorite
moment in the play? What
was the funniest? What
was the most surprising?
2. Ms. Penny encourages
Henry to take his
time and not rush
when reading.
Can you think

helped you overcome a
challenge?
3. Henry develops a habit of eating books. Have you
ever had to break a bad habit? What steps did you
take to stop?
4. Henry discovers he loves knowing things. What is
your favorite school subject and why?

scary but also exciting. Name three things you are
looking forward to next school year.
