(“Mr. Music”) Wheeler and staged and choreographed by Steiv Semien, the New York-based dancer who last summer directed the enormously successful Winston-Salem production of “Don’t Bother Me, I Can’t Cope,’’ will be presented Friday, March 2, at 8 p.m. in the K.R. Williams Auditorium at Winston- Salem State University. Urban Arts director Dorothy Graham-Wheeler who arranged last summer for Semien to return and direct the 26th annual variety show and talent revue, announced today that this year’s show will be dedicated to Wheeler, who originated the show in the early ’50’s and has continued it to serve talented youth in the community ever since. Wheeler, though somewhat confined, she said, is still a driving force behind the production, and his band. Jazz Trans-It, will be featured again this year. In past years, the annual talent show has drawn entirely on hometown talent, selected by audition. This year, with Semien imported as choreographer, the idea of bringing in dancers, actors and singers who are students at the North Carolina School of the Arts was a natural outgrowth of their participation last summer in the downtown musical comedy production. Stiev Semien Sounds By Joey Daniels iimmi mimim mm mmmmm mm mmiimi The Coliseum at Win ston-Salem was about three fourths full around 9:10 when the MC intro duced the opening group. Cameo. The already bored crowd was hit hard with a short introduction and was immediately frenzied as the band who appeared at the Coliseum one year ago (also with the Barkays) in January performed their latest hit single, “Insane” and continued on with an action-packed, acrobatic show. Peaches and Herb, a European act until their smash hit, “Shake Your Groove Thing” was not too appealing. Peaches sung more than Herb and did quite a few arrangements of other artists (I’m Every Woman, Do You Think I’m Sexy). The band was tight but very week. Even the current hit was minus a little “get up and go.” The Barkays have added money in their stage effects including lighting fixtures, flashing name signs and Hi Risers for the Drummer and two Key boardists. The opening bomb, the drum solo and two flaming towers were obviously techniques that come all too soon after viewing them six times in one year. Chuch Brown was still in L.A. and as a result didn’t appear. He is however scheduled to join the two week tour on its second night (ours was the first) at the Capitol Centre. European Act Not Ready for U.S. Audience Performing in Europe can be one of the most promising moves in a musi cian’s career. The au dience response (even if you don’t sing or speak their language) is com pletely the opposite of the States. Our sophisticated tech nology has spoiled our keen senses and therefore has teased and hypnotized us (some of us), American rock acts employ fancy lights with bombs, landing space ships, guillotine stunts, snakes and other assorted “hype oriented” mechanisms. To survive the European circuit, the only ingredient needed is music. No fancy clothes, no elaborate lights, simply music. “If you’ve got the guts to get up on the stage, you deserve the re spect to be heard,” is the manner of their thinking. This is the reason for the recent success stories be hind those stars(Peaches & Herb, Edwin 3tarr and others) of the sixties who weren’t successful with on going contracts and took their material and talent abroad. Peaches & Herb’s landing a chart buster (“Shake Your Groove Thing”) in the U.S. war ranted their space on the U.S. touring circuit. What they didn’t do was modify their act to handle the demanding audiences they have performed before in the States. Winston-Salem saw and felt the results of this mistake and not many, if any. were satisfied with the “dynamic duo’s’’ performance. by Clare Annswell “ — # - STARSCOPE * WEEK BEGINNING: MARCH 1,1979 AQUARIUS — January 21 - February 19 Week is off to a homey, happy, romantic start, with love and laughter warming the March chill.
