More than just a Safe Space program\, the Ally Training Program uses a social justice framework to guide participants through a curriculum that bridges new knowledge of developmental theory to the lived experiences of LGBTQ and Ally-identified people.\n\nThe LGBTQ Ally Training Program is open to all members of the community regardless of sexual orientation\, gender identity and gender expression. Participants affirm a commitment to supporting the right of LGBTQ people to fair and equal treatment\; a commitment to serving as a source of support and/or information about LGBTQ people and issues\; a commitment to learning about and promoting principles of social justice\; an ability to commit to training time.

Her installations synthesize a range of media and genres--including literature\, design\, craft\, and performance–-conjuring an imaginary alternate history of twentieth-century art\, design\, and social activism. Much of Perret's work over the past decade has stemmed from \"The Crystal Frontier\"\, the fictional archive of a female utopian commune called New Ponderosa. From paintings and sculptures to ceramics and textiles or film\, Perret's works infuse the formal vocabulary of modernism with a distinctly handmade aesthetic. Perret's exhibition at UMMA will present an episodic overview of her work from the past decade and will include numerous works never before exhibited in North America.

It is a distinct area of study\; essentially a marital art where the focus is not to injure your partner. As with any martial art\, years of training are needed before an individual is prepared to safely share their skills on the stage.\n\nThe Ring of Steel offers theatrical combat training in a wide range of weapons and combat styles\, based in large part on Aikido and late period rapier.

Indeed\, the Danish artist's works can at times appear to have been teleported from a slightly askew\, alternate version of the past. Seemingly familiar forms often appear in unexpected configurations and objects we think we recognize turn out to be something else entirely. An abstract wall painting emerges from beneath a layer of peeling plaster. A group of minimalist sculptures turn out to be the pieces of an enlarged Soma cube. This uncertainty is central to the experience of Dybbroe Møller's work\, where an initial misrecognition leads to a moment of aesthetic discovery.\n\nDybbroe Møller's penchant for puzzles and paradoxes reflects his interest in modernism's theoretical aspirations as well as its practical failings. Similarly\, his frequent adoption of “outmoded” media both provides him with a diverse artistic palette and a means of questioning the past century's faith in progress through technology and the avant-garde promise of continual artistic development.\n\nFor Dybbroe Møller's first solo exhibition in a North American museum\, UMMA will present a new body of work that continues his ongoing engagement with and critique of the modernist paradigm of transparency.

She's done Brecht on Broadway\, opened for Lou Reed at Carnegie Hall\, sung Woody Allen movie songs at the Hollywood Bowl\, performed on A Prairie Home Companion\, duetted with Eartha Kitt and Triumph The Insult Comic Dog\, played Hilary Swank's sister on the big screen\, paid tribute to Doris Day\, and released three wildly acclaimed albums of original music. Her music is as tuneful and clever as the best of the Great American Songbook–part cabaret\, part sparkly pop. But beneath the charming melodic surface is a wit that cuts\, and a sharply tuned social conscience. Nellie began playing her own songs (and lovingly chosen covers) in clubs in downtown New York City in 2003\, soon catching the attention of music writers and a number of record labels–she was a gifted entertainer\, an impressive musician\, with songs unlike anything people were hearing around town. The Washington Post wrote\, “McKay's music evokes the lost elegance of pre-Elvis pop music because she recognizes that such stylishness and wit are worth pursuing. But those goals inevitably collide with the realities of money\, sex and politics\, and she documents those collisions in her tongue-in-cheek lyrics\, emphatic beats and bubbly melodies.” And the Los Angeles Times said that “McKay comes on as a Harlem Holly Golightly\, a social activist with a disarming mastery of pop vernacular.” sense\,\" and no less a rock and roller than critic Robert Christgau has written that Nellie McKay is “ebullient\, funny and political. Her future looks brave and free to me.” Nellie has a new album\, \"Home Sweet Mobile Home.\" UID:4457-1130381@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/4457 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:music LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
