Mark Roytman, Summer 2011

Dear Marianna,                                          I  like to thank you for the wonderful tours that you have given,  I was fortunate to attend in The Museum of Contemporary Art.                                                      Your professionalism and enthusiasm are unmatched.                                     Perhaps, your being an artist yourself enables you to go into depth and make your narrative so vivid as if one participates in the creation of works of art that you presented for us. It has been a very structuring and therapeutic experience.Thank you for everything, I am looking forward for more  Sincerely yours, Mark Roytman.

Althea Teamer:
"On behalf of Marianna Buchwald I write this reference letter . I have had the pleasure of working with Marianna on a few of her many projects . I find her to be a woman of deep commitment to whatever she sets her mind to do . I have observed her planning and developing skills .

She has the knack of organization which involves engaging people of great expertise and working with them to produce skillful outcomes. One such project involved a group of talented artists gathering in Hanover Germany and Syke Germany for an outstanding artistic stage production and an artist in residency gallery workshop .

From the standpoint of a US citizen I found this to be an exceptional feat as many of us traveled from the United States to work alongside German residents for these events. In addition to producing amazing productions, Marianna served as translator, and travel agent by arranging housing, dining , and transportation accommodations . It is easy to see that Mariana is a diligent worker who graciously puts the needs of others before herself ."Sincerely, Althea Frazier Teamer

 

Nicolle Wood:

To Whom It May Concern:
I have had the pleasure of working with Marianna Buchwald in many capacities over the past 4 years. She has brought her talent to The Galaxie in the form of a visual artist, a performance artist and an extremely capable and talented teaching artist for our
variety of youth based programs.
As a visual artist, Marianna is motivated and creative, participating in a number of exhibitions hosted by The Galaxie, as well as having been invited to participate in
our artist residency; Art Jam 2009, during which she spent an intensive week creating work in
our collection of studios, and presenting at the culminating exhibition. Marianna’s greatest contribution to The Galaxie has been in the form of Teaching Artist for our youth art camps. With her amazing knowledge of performance in the
area of mime, mask and theater, Marianna continually motivated, inspired, and encouraged
the student body to use both their minds and their bodies to create stories, explore concepts,
examine the use of masks and costuming and perform.
Marianna’s calm and focused demeanor continually aided the students in their creative pursuits, creating a safe and open environment for students to explore the depth of
their capabilities while assisting them in their focus, and creating a general feeling of calm
with-in the classroom.
I would highly recommend Marianna in all areas related to performance instruction for kids of all ages.
Sincerely,

Nicolle Wood, director
The Galaxie

Review by Sandra Simonson               about Tribute:

"Mirror Images with Mr. Buchwald" 

a performance with the International Art Group at Peter Jones Gallery: Caffeeine lll

    "On Saturday April 4.2009, Marianna Buchwald directed another of her multi media productions with members of the art group,The International Art Group at the Peter Jones Gallery.

    The crowd overfilled the small theatre and from the response of the audience it was very well received.
The production this season was in honor of her father's Hans-Ulrich Buchwald, a highly respected wood cutter and mask builder in Germany.The performance as always was set on a small stage with visuals of Mr. Buchwald's woodcuts, and some of Marianna's very soft paintings - an effective contrast to the work of her father. A sound track put together by Ted Ehnle, media projections byTate Madler, and six dancers, Hillary Jirka, Laury Goux, Sherree Blakemore, Sue Yan,Ted Ehnle and Alan Emerson- Hicks defined by the magnificent masks of Mr. Buchwald. Several poems
written by the German poet Hans-Joachim Haecker,for a book of Mr.Buchwald's woodcuts, were read in both English and German by Claudia Finn and Marianna with some overlap in the reading which effectively increased the power of the poems as the voices echoed across the
stage.The dancing was strong and effective.

     The last reading, a powerful statement about our need to end the violence of all societies, was complimented by a very simple pastel work by Marianna that although
decidedly abstract became almost a symbol of life and hope.The production certainly would be enhanced by a larger theatre and a screen big enough to display the works of both of the Buchwalds without obstruction from the dancers. But in its current form it held up verywell and provided the audience with an exciting and satisfying evening. Hats off to Marianna Buchwald"



Shirley Moore: summer 2012

I am so thrilled about the International Art Group that is held every second Monday at 1505 W. Morse in Rogers Park here in Chicago.  I would like to give all of you a little insight into some of my personal experiences and observations.

      My name is Shirley Moore and I am an artist of many sorts in addition, I am  disabled.  There is a need to mention my disability because of the diversity of the group.  I am treated very well and the atmosphere is very welcoming.
  At our meeting,January 11th 2010, I was just blown away at the presentations of some of the artists. but this is not unusual since this has been my experience each and every time that I am able to attend the group.  There is such a vast diversity in the group that you just cannot absorb all there is to learn.  I am so amazed to realize that there is so many media and techniques that can be used in artwork.  To give an example of this, at our past meeting an artist shared artwork that had been dyed using natural fruits and vegetables and then had been turned into to a breath taking masterpiece.  Another artist showed how instead of painting on regular canvas there is the possibility to paint on treated wood canvases.  I have never experienced a dull moment at this precious group yet I have been able to take away so much information that I can then use in my personal growth as an artist.  I feel so blessed to be a part of this group and I could never give enough thanks to the artist and staff that make this group possible.  I wish that everyone could come and experience the group and I promise that you will not be able to get enough.  If you would like more information please feel free to contact Marianna at (773) 507-1300.  I look forward to seeing you there.

Olumuyiwa Ojo:

Letter Of Support For Ms. Buchwald

My name is Olumuyiwa Ojo. I work as a dance instructor for Whirlwind Education Company in the Chicago Public Schools as well as at the Lou Conte Dance Studios of The Hubbard Street Dance Chicago.

I have known Ms. Buchwald for more than 10 years and I can sincerely vouch for her competence as an artist practitioner in many areas.

She is a talented performance artist, as well as a director of greatly imaginative shows. I am privy to this knowledge because I have been fortunate to have worked with her in many of these shows over the past 10 years.

Most recently, in June 2011, I participated with her in a mask theater performance that she directed and conceived The Transformational Travelers and  also during 2004 and 2005 a piece about Australian Aboriginal legends, which was performed at the outdoor festival in Hannover, Germany.

Through my association with her, I have been exposed to her skills as a painter, sculptor, dancer and as an art historian, specializing in masks and their societal significance.

Addi Kremer:


Im Rahmen anderer Tätigkeiten im Freizeitheim Vahrenwalde,
Einrichtung der Landeshauptstadt Hannover, habe ich dort beobachtend an fünf Workshoptagen, einer Generalprobe und der Premiere des Schaniertheaters (Maskentheater) in Syke bei Bremen teilgenommen.
Ich war begeistert von der Intensivität und dem Einfühlungsvermögen mit dem Frau Marianna Buchwald unterrichtete und mit welchem
erstaunlichen Geschick es ihr gelang die so unterschiedlichen
Teilnehmer aus den verschiedensten Nationen (sprachliche
Schwierigkeiten) und mit unterschiedlich starken Begabungen zum viel applaudierten Erfolg im Museum Syke zu führen. Herausragend war auch der Integrationserfolg.
Frau Buchwald hat in Deutschland umfassende Beziehungen zu
Künstlern und entsprechende Einrichtungen, die bis in die Hauptstadt der Bundesrepublik reichen. Mir ist bekannt, dass sie hier in Hannover viele Aktionen durchführte, unter anderem beim sogenannten „Kleinen
Fest im Großen Garten“, eine internationale Veranstaltung des
Kulturamtes der Landeshauptstadt Hannover. Dies auch zusammen mit ihrem Vater Hans-Ulrich Buchwald, ein bekannter Maler, der auch die Figuren zum Schaniertheater entwickelte.
Leider habe ich Frau Buchwald erst jetzt persönlich kennengelernt.
Auf Wunsch können Fotos von den Veranstaltungen bereitgestellt werden.Ich freue mich auf die weitere Zusammenarbeit und viele spannende Kunstprojekte mit Marianna Buchwald"



Beate Axmann:

"Durch Marianna Buchwalds unermüdliches Engagement in der interkulturellen Arbeit mit und für Künstler in Deutschland und vor allem in Chicago/USA, wird den Künstlern in übergreifenden Sparten, Austausch, Kooperation und die Möglichkeit zur Vernetzung geboten.

Dies alles auf einer Ebene großer kreativer Freiheit für den einzelnen Künstler.

Es entstehen immer wieder einzigartige Projekte mit Künstlern aus verschiedenen Ländern. Wie in diesem Jahr in Syke und Hannover. Mit  "die Hände von Kokoro", ist unter Marianna Buchwalds Regie eine sehr beeindruckende Maskentheater Aufführung gelungen.

Im Anschluss an das Theaterprojekt fand der internationale Kunstworkshop "Kulturbrücken bauen" statt, mit abschließender Ausstellung "the ocean between" im Kreismuseum Syke.
