Wolfe Bowart (born May 28, 1962) is a modern-day physical comedian, actor and playwright. He is the creator and performer of the physical theatre productions ''LaLaLuna'', ''Letter's End'' and ''The Man the Sea Saw''. Bowart is the son of writer Walter Bowart and Linda Dugmore, and grandson of the abstract expressionist artist Edward Dugmore. ==LaLaLuna== In 2006, Bowart premiered ''LaLaLuna'', a surreal tale about the night the light went out in the moon, at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, the Adelaide Fringe Festival, and the Queensland Performing Arts Centre during the production’s first Australian tour. Written, directed and performed by Bowart, ''LaLaLuna'' contains a poetic narrative by Roscoe Lee Browne.〔Liz Arratoon, (“LaLaLuna” ), ''The Stage'', January 29, 2007〕 Critic Fergus Shiel of The Age proclaimed the show “luminously inventive and magically silly” and Ari Sharp of ''The Program'' wrote “Bowart is the ultimate physical performer. He has a breathtaking awareness of his own body, and glides effortlessly across the stage with balletic skill. His sleight-of-hand is magnificent and fits in so neatly that you sometimes barely notice that it’s there, which allows the audience to be swept away in the dreamy mystique that Bowart seeks to create.”〔Ari Sharp, (“Melbourne International Comedy Festival: LaLaLuna” ), ''The Program'', April 24, 2006〕 In 2007, ''LaLaLuna'' made its UK premiere at the Royal Festival Hall as part of the London International Mime Festival (see review〔Liz Arratoon, (“LaLaLuna” ), ''The Stage'', January 29, 2007〕). Bowart also undertook a 40-performance national tour of Australia, and presented ''LaLaLuna'' at the Volos International Festival in Greece.〔Sandra Voulari, (“International Volos Festival makes Comeback” ), ''Kathimerini'', December 7, 2007〕 In 2008, Bowart performed ''LaLaLuna'' in Hong Kong, New Zealand, Greece and Brazil〔Miguel Arcanjo Prado, ("Norte-americano diverte crianças e adultos com "LaLaLuna" no FIT-BH" ), ''Folha Online'', July 6, 2008〕 and returned to Australia for seasons in Sydney (see review〔Brett Casben, ("LaLaLuna" ), ''Australian Stage'', April 16, 2008〕), Hobart and in Melbourne at the Melbourne Arts Centre. Bowart’s 2009 UK tour included performances at the Theatre Royal, Bath, where ''LaLaLuna'' headlined the inaugural Family Theatre Festival. In 2010, Bowart premiered ''LaLaLuna'' in New Zealand〔Lindsay Clark, ("Everyday objects made magic with extraordinary skill" ), ''Theatreview'', July 18, 2010〕 and Austria, and returned to the UK,〔("Physical Theatre Performer to Tour Internationally" ), ''Stage Whispers'', April 6, 2010〕 where the production was part of the Brighton Festival〔Laura Gooch, ("LaLaLuna, Theatre Royal Brighton" ), ''The Argus'', May 6, 2010〕 (curated that year by Brian Eno), the Salisbury International Arts Festival, and completed seasons at the York Theatre Royal (see review〔Charles Hutchinson, ("Review: Wolfe Bowart in LaLaLuna" ), ''York Press'', June 10, 2010〕), The Lowry in Salford, and Newcastle's Northern Stage, among others. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wolfe Bowart」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
