It s quite unusual for me to he completely involved with a universiy show as I am with this one at the Y., but they hired me over a year ago and paid lor my complete involvement so that's why I'm here and delighted to be." The second type of staging which is usually done by universities or high schools, requires Mr. Foy to go to the location lor a few days and set up the system and then leave. The third form is w here the artist never does go, but serves in an advisory capacity by mail. Mr. Foy is constantly thinking up new ways to fly people, designing new techniques in his head and admits that at times he becomes a bit of a nuisance to his wife. "She'll be talking to me about something and something will snap in my mind and suddenly I will be off on a stage flying someone over a chest of drawers and she'll know haven't heard a word." Currently the Foys live in Las Vegas where Mr. Foy works with many stars. Next year hell be "flying" for the lee Capades as well as two productions of Fiddler on the Roof not to mention Liberaee who flies in and out of his piano routine these days, thanks to Mr. Foy.

He started writing and designing sequences for various flying ballets and became sonuw hat of a specialist in the technique. But it wasn't until 15 years ago that Mr. Foy finally admitted to himself that he wasn't an actor flying was his thing. Up until that time, I always srt f ?pok;i'd for my interest in flying. But then one day came to grips w'ith my acting and realized it offered no creativity for me and then came to grips with my writing and well, realized creativity for me meant once designing ways to fly over furniture or what have you, on a stage, I was on my way." When Mary Martin opened in Peter Pan in the musical written for her, it was Peter Foy operating the gears that enabled Nancy Funk Tribune Staff Writer By s Mondays-Thursday- On (lie subject of flying, Peter Foy is an expert. Just ask Mary Martin, Barbra Streisand, Gene Kelly, Liberate, Sally Field, Carol Burnett or Bryce Ward. Bryce Ward, who's that? Unless youve been on the Brigham A ::ung L nivcisity campus lately, the name probably doesn't mean a great deal. But for the past few weeks, he's been starring as feter Pan in the Ys musical production and Peter Foy has taught him to fly, as he did the previously mentioned stars. Mr. Foy, a native of England, has an international reputation for his flying effects and seemingly weightlessness appearance of the people he trains. He generally flys people in over 50 annual productions of Peter Pan," and currently has five shows of Pan going on in various parts of the country. "Flying is the oldest effect in theater, and though not used here too often before the Thirties, English pantomimes and German operas employed the technique many times. To Mr. Foy, flying is a feeling of freedom, not suspension. Flying is not an up and down movement. If you think of a flying horse, that image and only when you have that total image is it real flying." Born in London, Mr. Foy left school at the age of 14 to become an actor. He was an inquisitive child and became fascintated one day while watching the workings of a flying ballet show. He toured all over m several shows before joining the Air Force. He still ul 1 1 her to fly. The feeling that is established between performer and operator is similar to adagio dancers. It must be a duet between the operator and the performer and it helps if the operator himself is a performer. 'vW, m 1 "When I worked with Mary, each night was different. Her timing would vary, depending on the mood she received from the audience. If it was a rather audience with the attitude of entertain me or else she would react one way or if the audience was very responsive, she would go all out for them. I never knew what she was going to do until seconds before she would leap to fly." Mr. Foy isn't always the operator for the shows he flys. He has three types of staging available for productions that need his talents: the first is like the one he is doing ho-hu- m k behind-the-scene- s known Internationally 1 man (portraying Michael) that flying is fun in Peter Pan. flyer' Peter Foy shows Tristan Whit ' yyy iy y? 4 - I.
