SUMMARY:Exhibition:Birthing Reproductive Justice: 150 Years of Images and Ideas
DESCRIPTION:Reproductive Justice -- the right to have children\, not have children\, and parent our children in healthy and safe environments -- is a movement and perspective that arose in the 1990s. Articulated and led by women of color with a more encompassing social vision\, reproductive justice usually incorporates both a framework of human rights and an awareness of the intersectionality of women’s identities and struggles against sexism\, racism\, homophobia\, and economic marginalization.\n\nThis exhibit provides a historical context for the emergence and antecedents of reproductive justice. Given that women's lives have never been reducible to one dimension of their reproductive health\, this exhibit traces a longer history of reproductive justice\, illustrating many facets of experiences\, debates\, and policies related to pregnancy\, birth\, birth control\, and raising children.\n\nThe exhibit is held in conjunction with the conference\, Reproductive Justice: Advocates\, Academics\, Activists in Ann Arbor\, a Michigan Meeting.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Behind the Veil: Monoprint & Mixed Media 
DESCRIPTION:Casey Blanchard is a monoprint and mixed media artist living in Vermont. During her travels\, Blanchard considers no found object too grand or insignificant for expression in the printing medium. She finds the process of monoprinting to be engaging\, fluid\, unpredictable and fun. It is the mysteries behind the frayed veil\, the torn edge and the unspoken word that intrigue her. Blanchard hopes to wake up the viewer's perception\, encouraging in them reflection\, exploration and a connection to meaning. She uses organic materials in her artwork to help draw people to their natural\, healthy and whole state. Blanchard has been involved in arts in healthcare both nationally and internationally.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Birdpants: Mixed Media
DESCRIPTION:Missy Orge creates work that is evocative of scientific curiosities and mounted butterflies\, with a humor that sneaks up and inspires a much closer look. Her current work focuses on birdpants  Ì¶  tiny\, ornithologically correct pants that “could be for backyard visitors who are either fashion-forward or simply chilly in the Michigan winter.\" She employs traditional craftwork such as quilting\, embroidery and beading to produce highly detailed  Ì¶  and decidedly non-traditional  Ì¶  confections that encourage the viewer to consider the possibilities of enticing a chickadee to don a pair of slacks. Making Ann Arbor her home for more than 20 years\, she spends her spare time filling bird feeders in the hope that\, one day\, she can talk a songbird into modeling her creations.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Newspaper Diary: Color Photography 
DESCRIPTION:For Joanne Leonard\, preserving newspaper clippings is something of an urgent task since future generations may know only digital versions of these fragile pages of newspaper. Through the juxtaposition of news images and images in books\, Leonard creates a conversation in her photographs between present and past. The pictures she makes\, sometimes witty\, often poignant\, are a form of diary\; they reflect her daily observations as she reads the newspaper over morning coffee. Leonard's work has been widely exhibited and published\, including exhibition in the San Francisco Museum of Art's Women of Photography\, and publication in Janson's History of Art\, Gardner's Art Through the Ages\, and the Time-Life Library of Photography.  She is a distinguished Professor Emeritus at U-M.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Little Mermaid (Sunday Matinee)
DESCRIPTION:YPT’s very own local young people take you on an adventure under the sea in the musical adaptation of Disney's 1989 film\, The Little Mermaid.  The 1989 film of “The Little Mermaid” signaled a renaissance in Disney animation and featured songs by the composer Alan Menken and the lyricist Howard Ashman that were regularly described as “Broadway-caliber.”   It was heralded as that rare fairy-tale cartoon that could be enjoyed just as much by grown-ups as by children.  Disney finally decided to give Ariel a chance on Broadway and the musical officially opened January 10\, 2008 featuring the hit songs \"Part of Your World\,\" \"She’s in Love\,\" and the Oscar-winning \"Under the Sea.\"\n\nInspired by the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale\, “The Little Mermaid” was Disney’s first animated film to feature a newly empowered breed of heroine who gets the prince but doesn’t need saving by him.  The beautiful and curious young mermaid\, Ariel\, longs to leave her ocean home to live in the world above.  She falls for the handsome human prince\, Eric\, and agrees to a dangerous bargain with the powerful sea witch\, Ursula\, in exchange for legs and a chance to live with the prince on land.  But first\, she has to convince Prince Eric that she’s the girl with the enchanting voice!\n\nCome on along under the sea with Sebastian\, Flounder\, Scuttle\, King Triton and all the mermaids and sea creatures including Flotsam\, Jetsam and Ursula as YPT presents The Little Mermaid on the Power Center stage for you!

SUMMARY:Performance:The Dave Hardin Band
DESCRIPTION:The Ohio River basin taught Dave Hardin about both the hardships and triumphs of life\, and about diverse musical styles that still come through in his own music today. Hill music\, country\, bluegrass\, twang\, flat-top picking\, and the real roots of American music surrounded him in his early days and growing up in the age of great rock and roll that blasted from the radio filled out his music tastes and style. Going straight into the Navy out of high school and touring the world filled this natural storyteller with a spectrum of life lessons that he sang about in bus stations\, in bars and on street corners. After leaving the Navy Dave became a husband and father\, but as that chapter of life began to wind down\, music came calling to him again. Most of his songs come from life observed\, or true tales of a man that his lived all over this great country of ours. His songs are a slice of real life. \n
