Discovering ART & Improvisational Comedy with San Diego ART Institute NEW power-house Director, Ginger Schulick-Porcella<\/h3>\n

On Friday, May 23rd, Frau Kolb caught up with Ginger Shulick-Porcella at Finest City Improv<\/a> in North Park, for\u00a0\u201cThe World According to…<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A self possessed woman with piercing eyes and a powerful presence, Schulick-Porcella is now the Director of The San Diego Art Institute\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Her glittering eyes\u2026 caught the\u00a0stage light, not only did Schulick-Porcella look\u00a0entirely charming in her black jeans and\u00a0fringe black cowboy boots, topped by a primitive rough cloth, blazer\u2026 \u00a0She shared of\u00a0herself with fearless aplomb. \u00a0Unperturbed by the comics running amok in their shredded version of her\u00a0condensed,\u00a0\u201cLife Story.\u201d \u00a0Erect in posture, alert of mind, Schulick-Porcella held her own against a way-ward troupe of merry-makers, who play-perform by skimming data from the surface of a public-person\u2019s identity and then creating an on-stage hash-up of rehearsed and well-timed gags; spinning the material into tinsel\u00a0hilarity. \u00a0Drawing laughs out of an audience looking to see this week\u2019s local personality,\u00a0\u201croasted.<\/span><\/strong>\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Notably, Schulick-Porcella, talked of her\u00a0gorgeous Puerto Rican\u00a0\u201cDEAD DOG BEACH,\u201d\u00a0rescue dog,\u00a0\u201cMaya Papaya,\u201d a little girl of tremendous beauty, Schulick calls her,\u00a0\u201cPUP-l\u2019britty.\u201d \u00a0Get it?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Maya Payaya is a stunner:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Hah!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Who doesn\u2019t love a powerful young woman with a hand-made sweater-wearing dog? \u201cMaya Papaya,” has side job, aside being a pampered pet, she models. \u00a0Get that! \u00a0Schulick-Porcella\u2019s dog, M O D E L S in magazines. \u00a0If that isn\u2019t wild\u2026 well, I don\u2019t know WHAT is\u2026 Anyway…<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The little stage, bar,\u00a0adjacent to a hotel, which also has a bar, in North Park, San Diego, a slightly seedy but always sweet neighborhood known for its Gay Bars, and its\u00a0unending party atmosphere. The Finest City Improv has a cosy, inviting, vibe. \u00a0It is an\u00a0unassuming and approachable spot. \u00a0(I, must admit, being tempted to jump on the stage and join the troupe. They really appear to be having a royal blast,\u00a0lampooning Schulick\u2019s very dry account of growing up somewhere rural with\u00a0\u201clots of motorcycles, cars,\u201d and\u00a0\u201cno animals, no cows, no sheep\u2026\u201d BAH! \u00a0MOO! \u00a0HONK! \u00a0CACKLE! Snort. She said she was, “a horse riding and book reading girl.\u201d These facts, I\u2019m not sure the troupe knew what to make of her\u2026 the somewhat eerie cool, calculated\u2014maybe\u2013strange poise and well, when they asked her first impressions of San Diego, she said it was a\u00a0\u201cBRO-Town,\u201d with too many FAKE friendly, “passive aggressive,” people whose\u00a0immediate bid for intimacy, she finds off-putting. \u00a0It warmed my heart to hear her put into words my own frustrations and feelings about ever-sunny San Diego\u2019s yet famously flighty folks. We share a strong\u00a0preference\u00a0for\u00a0succinct and straight forward communication styles: conventionally employed in Chicago, perhaps, and the east coast, A FUCK YOU is certainly (!) and undeniably crystal clear. Tah Dah!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Schulick-Porcella has a very determined air\u2026 Did I mention, that she was wearing a fitted little blazer emboldened by a primitive, almost savage looking, print? \u00a0I really liked it\u2026 I\u2019m very curious about young woman\u2019s destiny. Will she triumph? \u00a0She has a challenging BIG assignment before her… Will she turn the San Diego Arts Institute into a destination of note on the international art map of destinations? \u00a0WE shall see\u2026 I vow to follow and document her\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>progress on your behalf. \u00a0I will also tell you:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

She wears her hair slicked to one side like a naughty 1920\u2019s flapper, she is decorated with numerous inky and intense tattoos, not the type that were designed to be hidden, they seem to drift in and out of view, butterflies of interior anatomical views and scrolling letters\u2026 This is no conventional\u00a0\u201chorse-riding and book reading,\u201d human. \u00a0She is a woman with spirit that evokes admiration at first glance because she is clearly at ease in her own skin. \u00a0This is a quality that bodes well for the future of San Diego as a destination, a home, and a playground for power-house creatives, like Schulick herself, who has experience in performance and other modes of creative expression. \u00a0Artist, Margaret Nobel said to Frau,\u00a0\u201cGinger is funnier than the comedians.\u201d \u00a0It is true that she holds attention; like a bull\u2019s eye. \u00a0Let us SEE\u2026 what will she do with the San Diego Arts Institute to bring it into the crossing of Commerce, Art, Popularity,\u00a0and Trending\u2026* An art collector\u2019s new perch\u2026 a public\u2019s new source of inspiration, which is what any art institute should be, right?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

WE, at www.talkinggrid.com, \u00a0shall follow Schulick-Porcella\u2019s progress and perhaps gain an\u00a0intimate, cosy, and first hand understanding of how precisely one goes about transforming an arts institute into a\u00a0\u201cmore inclusive,\u201d and\u00a0\u201cdynamic,\u201d destination.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Much Love,\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
