Brad Moore by The Aspen Times

Moore has had his time in a bigger pond than Aspen. In 1986, he began an association with the Civic Lights Opera, the biggest musical theater company in the Los Angeles basin. A few years later, he moved to southern California and implemented a variety of programs, including a musical theater school for kids, a performing-arts school for adults, and an in-school program that brought inner-city kids to listen to and see actors. Moore got to work with Carol Burnett and Bebe Neuwirth, got to tour as musical director of the International Children’s Choir. But one day, he watched his toddler son playing on a mechanical ride at a Chucky Cheese’s and thought he’d better get out of L.A.”I said, ‘He needs to ride a real motorcycle or a real horse,'” said Moore. “We’ve got to get back to the mountains.”Entrenched in Aspen the last decade, Moore doesn’t miss the bigger stage. “It’s more about what I’m doing than where I’m doing it,” he said.Moore added that Aspen affords plenty of theater opportunities. And he has come to relish the variety of characters he gets to play. “Just at the point when I get frustrated with kids or amateurs and ask what am I doing here, I get to do a professional job,” he said. “And then when I get annoyed with the egos and the lack of growth of the professionals, I get the kids and the innocence.

Benjamin Ball grew up in Aspen Colorado and Iowa where his mother’s involvement in theatre proved influential. While studying for his degree at the Southern California Institute of Architecture, Ball logged stints at Gehry Partners and Shirdel Zago Kipnis. Upon graduation, he sought work as a set and production designer for films (including the Matrix series) as well as music videos and commercials with such influential directors as Mark Romanek and Tony Scott. His experience ranges from work on the Disney Concert Hall and small residential commissions for boutique firms to complex medical structures and event design. In his current collaboration with Gaston Nogues, Ball is exploring the intersection of architecture, art and product design through physical modeling and the use of digital and more traditional forms of production.
