"THE SWAN" Frans Reynders using only gestures of the body and
facial expressions will present his interpretations of various subjects
when ho appears on the McMurry campus Wednesday and Thursday.
The appearanco of Reynders a famous pantomime artist is pari of
a series of arts programs on the campus.
Wednesday afternoon a Dutch-
Corn mime Frans Reynders will
do an informal demonstration at
McMurry Little Theater at 3.
Reynders' first major appearance
at the college will be at Thurs-
day's assembly program.
For his performance at Mc-
Murry Reynders will give his in-
terpretations of Counter-point
commentary The Girl Marion-
ette The Bird Tightrope Walker
Man at the Table Surgeon The
Soldier and Game with the
Hand.
The Actors and Reynders will
be the third and fourth in the
American College Association's
series of cultural programs at the
school. Laura Toledo and her
Iberian Dance Troupe performed
last Thursday and an internationally-known
orator Lisa Sergio
spoke earlier in the year.
The Bishop's Company is an in-
dependent organization named in
honor of Bishop Gerald H. Ken-
nedy of the Methodist Church and
is the first repertory company to
reunite the forces of religion and
theater. Its outstanding record
includes over 900000 miles of
travel in all of the 50 states and
Canada. Asking the audience to
share in the creation of the play
is part of the technique of the
company which uses no sets or
props.
The company has a full sched-
ule as part of the concert series
of colleges and universities as
well as being a highlight of
church calendars in all parts of
the United States. The casts of
the Company are inter-racial and
inter-faith.
The performances the company
has chosen to present at McMurry
are two of eight carefully select-
ed works which are staged by
the company. In "The Great Di-
vorce" written by the celebrated
author of "Screwtape Letters"
the audience is taken on an ex
cursion to the borders of Heaven
where they discover that there
inevitably can be no marriage
between Heaven and Hell. The
theme of "The Boy with a Cart"
is the working together of men
and God.
Reynders one of the few ex-
ceptionally talented masters in
the art of interpretation by using
only the gestures of the body and
the expression of the face became
interested in the business when I
