DESCRIPTION:The Kelsey’s “Read and Look” program is a great first trip to the museum—providing visitors with opportunities to explore past and present cultures and connect with others.

SUMMARY:Performance:David Zerkel\, tuba: \"Animal Ditties\"
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Professor David Zerkel\, tuba\, with:\nLiz Ames\, piano\nJason Fettig\, narrator\nTim Zerkel\, illustrator\n\nDavid and Liz will perform a recital that is thematically centered around our friends from the animal kingdom. The program will begin with Jean-Michel DeFaye's *Suite Marine*\, a depiction of various creatures from the sea. Jason Fettig\, Director of Bands at the SMTD and budding thespian\, will join us to narrate Anthony Plog's *Animal Ditties IX*\, which is a colorful work based on short poems by Ogden Nash\, widely considered to be America's Poet Laureate of Light Verse. Closing the first half will be the world premiere of *\"Woof!\"*\, by hornist\, composer\, and SMTD alum James Naigus. This piece is a clever depiction of the characteristics of seven dog breeds.\n\nThe second half is dedicated to the evening's protagonist. Written in 1960\, *Effie the Elephant\, Suite no. 1* by Alec Wider is a relatively early work for solo tuba depicting Effie in pursuit of various human endeavors: singing a lullaby\, going folk dancing\, and falling in love\, etc. David decided that Effie needed a rebrand\, and perhaps to get out a little more: we present *Effie Swipes Left*\, *Effie Goes Clubbing*\, *Effie goes to Therapy*\, *Effie Goes to the DMV*\, *Effie Adopts a Puppy*\, and *Effie Gets Tipsy*.  We're grateful to the University of Michigan for funding this commission\, and are thrilled to perform this world premiere of Jim Stephenson's *The Further Adventures of Effie the Elephant*. Jim is a wonderful composer and recovering brass player\, and this caricature is as charming as it is clever.\n\nThis will be a multimedia event\, as David's much more talented brother\, Tim\, has created an illustration for each of the 32 (short) movements on the program. \n\nThis will be a family friendly evening of storytelling and a delightfully innocuous introduction to the tuba as a solo voice.

SUMMARY:Performance:THE NOISE CAME FROM HERE: A Homage to the Old West Side 
DESCRIPTION:*Please Note: The performance start time is now 3:00 pm.*\n\nMaster of Fine Arts in Dance candidate Kiana “KC” Cook and the University of Michigan Department of Dance present THE NOISE CAME FROM HERE: A Homage to the Old West Side in two unique site-specific performances. The first will be held at 7:30 PM on Saturday\, September 6th in the Dance Performance Studio Theatre (1000 Baits Dr\, Ann Arbor)\, followed by a second performance at 3:00 PM on Sunday\, September 7th at Albert Wheeler Park (200 Depot St\, Ann Arbor)* (*Rain location: Dance Performance Studio Theatre\, 1000 Baits Dr). The performance runs for one hour with no intermission. Tickets for the September 6th show are free and available at the door\, while the September 7th park performance requires no tickets. The event is ADA accessible and suitable for all ages.\n\nTHE NOISE CAME FROM HERE is a living tribute to Ann Arbor’s Historically Black “Old West Side”—a neighborhood where Black families built deep roots before systemic gentrification altered the community. The term noise in this work is both literal and symbolic: a celebration of presence and a refusal to be erased. Developed in direct conversation with the Community Leadership Council of the Dunbar Tower\, who are tied to the neighborhood’s legacy\, the performance honors their stories through dance\, sound\, and collective remembrance.\n\nThe performances feature Buff1\, Anyse\, Lobo\, Banga\, Jerwaun “Renegade” Suddun\, Rachel “Prysm” Johnson\, and student artists Ava K. Garland\, Hope Hanna-Casupang\, Gabriele Shepheard\, David Kim\, Bobby Currie\, and Erika Siblesz with original lighting design by Scott Crandall.\n\nTHE NOISE CAME FROM HERE is made possible through generous support from University of Michigan-Ann Arbor’s School of Music\, Theatre\, & Dance\, and the Arts Initiative. \n

Shelleg is the author of the award-winning book \"Jewish Contiguities and the Soundtrack of Israeli History\" (Oxford University Press\, 2014)\, in addition to \"Theological Stains: Art Music and the Zionist Project\" (Oxford University Press\, 2020) and \"The State of Afterness: Contemporary Music in an about Israel\" (Oxford University Press\, 2025). Previously the director of the Cherrick Center for Israel Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem between (2021-24)\, Shelleg has also served as a curator for the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (2020-22)\, and a music contributor for Haaretz. His new book \"Jewish Art Music as Art Music\" is forthcoming with Cambridge University Press in 2026.\n\nJeremiah Lockwood is a scholar and musician\, working in the fields of Jewish studies\, performance studies and ethnomusicology. He is a Research Fellow at the Lowell Milken Center for Music of American Jewish Experience at UCLA. His work engages with issues arising from peering into the archive and imagining the power of “lost” forms of expression to articulate keenly felt needs in the present. His first book\, Golden Ages: Hasidic singers and cantorial revival in the digital era\, was published in 2024 by University of California Press. Jeremiah was a 2023-24 UPenn Katz Center Fellow\, and a 2022-23 Yale Institute of Sacred Music Fellow. As 2024-25 Frankel Center Fellow he is writing his second book project\, a cultural history of the cantorial phonograph era. Lockwood has recorded more than a dozen albums over a music career that spans decades\, with his band The Sway Machinery\, the Khazones Underground\, and other projects.\n\nTamar Sella is a scholar of music and performance cultures. She is currently working on her first book\, Unsettled Sounds\, which proposes a lens for understanding the political meanings of Arab-Jewish cultural inheritance in the wake of its dislocations. Her work has been published in journals including Women and Music\, American Music\, and Ethnomusicology. Before her current position as assistant professor of ethnomusicology at the University of North Texas\, Tamar held a postdoctoral fellowship at Rice University. She holds a PhD from Harvard and a BA from UC Berkeley\, both in music.\n\nUri Schreter is an interdisciplinary musicologist\, composer\, performer\, and filmmaker whose work bridges scholarship and creative practice. He holds a Ph.D. in Musicology from Harvard University\, as well as an M.A. in History and a B.A. in Music from Tel Aviv University. His research focuses on twentieth-century Jewish history\, with particular attention to Yiddish language\, music\, and culture. His work has been supported by the American Musicological Society\, the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture\, and the YIVO Institute\, and has appeared in the Journal of Synagogue Music and In Geveb: A Journal of Yiddish Studies. Beyond academia\, Schreter collaborates with artists across Jewish cultural spheres\, including Shane Baker\, Anthony Russell\, Isabel Frey\, and Judy Bressler. In 2025–2026\, he will serve as a Fellow at the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan and as the Bader Postdoctoral Fellow in Jewish History at Queen’s University.

SUMMARY:Performance:Day of Absence
DESCRIPTION:We would like to invite you to attend this semester’s Faculty Studio Production\, *Day of Absence* written by Douglas Turner Ward and directed by Antonio Disla.\n\nThis production reinterprets Douglas Turner Ward's 1965 satire through the lens of cyclical time\, showing that social progress is not always linear or assured. By using clock imagery\, circular staging\, and interruptions in the flow of time\, we create a theatrical experience that immerses the audience in the complexities of history\, where time advances\, pauses\, and sometimes even reverses.\n\nWard's play\, *Day of Absence*\, is set in an imaginary Southern town where all the Black residents suddenly vanish. This powerful work explores the impact of racial absence in modern society. First performed in 1965\, it highlights how white communities depend on Black labor and depicts the chaos that erupts when all Black residents disappear.\n\nCONTENT ADVISORY\n\n*Day of Absence* (1965) by Douglas Turner Ward is a satire that uses humor and exaggeration to critique racism in America. Audience members should be aware that their presence in the world you are about to enter will require you to experience \n\n- Whiteface as racial commentary (actors performing exaggerated portrayals of white characters — sometimes referred to as \"whiteface minstrelsy\")\n- Racial slurs and offensive language\n- Stereotypes\, bias\, and caricatures used intentionally to highlight the absurdity of bigotry and erasure\n\nWhile these depictions are racially specific\, Ward’s satire also comments on the universality of prejudice and oppression based on identity or affinity.\n\n*Free reservations are required\, and seating is limited!*\n\nPlease reserve your seats at this link:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/day-of-absence-tickets-1633164030579?aff=oddtdtcreator\n\n\nSHOW DATES\nThursday\, October 2 at 7 pm\nFriday\, October 3 at 7:30 pm\nSaturday\, October 4 at 2 pm

SUMMARY:Performance:Nigamon/Tunai
DESCRIPTION:In the heart of a forest of sound\, Canadian artist Émilie Monnet and Colombian artist Waira Nina deliver a poetic manifesto inspired by the bonds of friendship and solidarity.\n\nNigamon / Tunai (the words translate to “song” in the Anishinaabemowin and Inga languages) is an immersive performance ritual rooted in the presence of the natural world and co-exists with the audience\, who are in close proximity to the performers on the Power Center stage.\n\nAt the crossroads of friendship and resistance\, the two women invite us to listen deeply and to understand the knowledge and struggles that link their respective cultures: the depletion and plundering of natural resources that are core to their existence.\n\nInterweaving immersive performance and audio documentary with Indigenous knowledge and voices\, this mesmerizing new theatrical work invites audiences into ritualized listening\, and to feel the sound vibrations emitted by the surrounding water\, stones\, copper\, and tree trunks. Linked by the figure of the turtle\, which is central to both of their origin stories\, the two women form an effective alliance advocating for the protection of water\, land\, stars\, and ancestral knowledge.\n\nLooking for free student tickets? All U-M undergraduate students are eligible to receive a FREE ticket to a UMS performance per academic year through the Bert’s Ticket program (a $20 value)!

SUMMARY:Performance:Day of Absence
DESCRIPTION:We would like to invite you to attend this semester’s Faculty Studio Production\, *Day of Absence* written by Douglas Turner Ward and directed by Antonio Disla.\n\nThis production reinterprets Douglas Turner Ward's 1965 satire through the lens of cyclical time\, showing that social progress is not always linear or assured. By using clock imagery\, circular staging\, and interruptions in the flow of time\, we create a theatrical experience that immerses the audience in the complexities of history\, where time advances\, pauses\, and sometimes even reverses.\n\nWard's play\, *Day of Absence*\, is set in an imaginary Southern town where all the Black residents suddenly vanish. This powerful work explores the impact of racial absence in modern society. First performed in 1965\, it highlights how white communities depend on Black labor and depicts the chaos that erupts when all Black residents disappear.\n\nCONTENT ADVISORY\n\n*Day of Absence* (1965) by Douglas Turner Ward is a satire that uses humor and exaggeration to critique racism in America. Audience members should be aware that their presence in the world you are about to enter will require you to experience \n\n- Whiteface as racial commentary (actors performing exaggerated portrayals of white characters — sometimes referred to as \"whiteface minstrelsy\")\n- Racial slurs and offensive language\n- Stereotypes\, bias\, and caricatures used intentionally to highlight the absurdity of bigotry and erasure\n\nWhile these depictions are racially specific\, Ward’s satire also comments on the universality of prejudice and oppression based on identity or affinity.\n\n*Free reservations are required\, and seating is limited!*\n\nPlease reserve your seats at this link:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/day-of-absence-tickets-1633164030579?aff=oddtdtcreator\n\n\nSHOW DATES\nThursday\, October 2 at 7 pm\nFriday\, October 3 at 7:30 pm\nSaturday\, October 4 at 2 pm

SUMMARY:Performance:Nigamon/Tunai
DESCRIPTION:In the heart of a forest of sound\, Canadian artist Émilie Monnet and Colombian artist Waira Nina deliver a poetic manifesto inspired by the bonds of friendship and solidarity.\n\nNigamon / Tunai (the words translate to “song” in the Anishinaabemowin and Inga languages) is an immersive performance ritual rooted in the presence of the natural world and co-exists with the audience\, who are in close proximity to the performers on the Power Center stage.\n\nAt the crossroads of friendship and resistance\, the two women invite us to listen deeply and to understand the knowledge and struggles that link their respective cultures: the depletion and plundering of natural resources that are core to their existence.\n\nInterweaving immersive performance and audio documentary with Indigenous knowledge and voices\, this mesmerizing new theatrical work invites audiences into ritualized listening\, and to feel the sound vibrations emitted by the surrounding water\, stones\, copper\, and tree trunks. Linked by the figure of the turtle\, which is central to both of their origin stories\, the two women form an effective alliance advocating for the protection of water\, land\, stars\, and ancestral knowledge.\n\nLooking for free student tickets? All U-M undergraduate students are eligible to receive a FREE ticket to a UMS performance per academic year through the Bert’s Ticket program (a $20 value)!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Other:Read and Look | *The Water Princess*
DESCRIPTION:The Kelsey’s “Read and Look” program is a great first trip to the museum—providing visitors with opportunities to explore past and present cultures and connect with others. This event is free and open to everyone but is intended for children ages 4–8.\n\nInspired by supermodel Georgie Badiel’s childhood in Burkina Faso\, *The Water Princess* tells the story of Princess Gie Gie\, who endeavors to bring clean water to her small village. Each morning\, she embarks on the long journey to the well with a heavy pot atop her head\, dreaming of a day when her village will have an ample\, clean supply of water. This vibrant\, engaging story—written by Susan Verde with illustrations by Peter H. Reynolds—highlights the global issue of water scarcity and instills hope for a future in which all children have access to clean drinking water.\n\nThis event is free and open to all visitors.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:The Body and Michelangelo
DESCRIPTION:What happens when art becomes an act of anatomy? When the human body\, flesh\, muscle\, and bone\, becomes the canvas through which the divine is revealed? The Renaissance marked this turning point: after centuries of ethereal figures floating in abstract space\, artists rediscovered the incarnate human form. Some\, like Leonardo da Vinci\, sought truth through dissection\, while Michelangelo saw in anatomy a path to transcendence. This talk explores how he fused science\, beauty\, and spirit (from the tenderness of the Pietà to the grandeur of the Sistine Chapel) and how the Catholic Church received his daring vision of the human body as a vessel of meaning.\n\nElizabeth Lev\, an acclaimed art historian who teaches in Rome at the University of Mary and the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas\, has served as a consultant to the Vatican Museums and written for publications such as The Washington Post and First Things. Author of The Tigress of Forlì and How Catholic Art Saved the Faith\, she has appeared on The Today Show\, Nightline\, and 60 Minutes\, and her TED Talk on the Sistine Chapel has reached over 1.9 million viewers! She is a well-known tour guide and has served as a consultant to the Vatican Museums for their art and faith itineraries\, projects with the Vatican Patrons of the Arts and wrote “Vatican Treasures: The Via Pulchritudinis\,” a film presented to Pope Benedict XVI in 2012. She lives in Rome with her husband\, Thomas Williams\, and their son Joshua and is a certified sommelier. Her insight brings the Renaissance alive. You will not want to miss this.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by CHHASSEM-The Center for History\, Humanities\, Arts\, Social Sciences and Arts in Medicine.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Woll Family Speaker Series Presents:  Dr. Ryan Antiel as Guest Speaker
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THIS EVENT: \nWhile the late medical sociologist Charles Bosk rightly observed that residency was fundamentally “a moral education\,” modern graduate medical training has too often narrowed its focus to efficiency\, throughput and technical mastery. But without deliberate attention to the moral formation of trainees\, how can we hope to cultivate clinicians whose professional identity can withstand the environmental hazards of commercialized medicine? Dr. Ryan Antiel confronts this question head-on. In this talk\, he explores why virtue\, character and the habits of moral perception are essential — not optional — in shaping physicians who can care wisely and humanely for the most vulnerable. \n\nDr. Antiel will present one such effort underway at Duke University: The Good Surgeon. Drawing on strategies from the Oxford Leadership Initiative\, this project seeks to counter professional corrosion by forming a parallel community rooted in friendship\, mutual accountability and honest inquiry. Within this space\, difficult questions are raised\, new practices are tested and the seeds of durable professional identity are cultivated. It is an experiment in rebuilding moral architecture from the inside out. \n \nDr. Antiel is a pediatric surgeon and medical ethicist at Duke University\, where he serves on the faculty of the Trent Center for Bioethics\, Humanities & History of Medicine. His research combines empirical approaches from the fields of epidemiology\, decision-making sciences and child outcomes with conceptual work grounded in moral philosophy and theology. He applies these approaches to address ethical challenges surrounding the care of seriously ill fetuses and neonates.  He is also interested in how surgical residency shapes the character of surgeons-in-training and how best to form the virtues of character necessary for good surgical practice. \n \nYou can check out his work in leading medical journals like JAMA Surgery and NEJM. We are excited to hear his thoughts on cultivating moral resilience and professional integrity in modern medicine.

DESCRIPTION:Join in a conversation with Shahanna McKinney-Baldon moderated by Professor Bryan Roby\, on the story of Madame Goldye Steiner\, the trailblazing African-American vocalist of the Harlem Renaissance era whose career spanned vaudeville\, Yiddish theater\, early jazz\, and the “golden age” of Jewish cantorial singing\, or khazones.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Museums in Time of Polycrisis
DESCRIPTION:As a global polycrisis continues to impact modern day life\, perhaps no other institution is experiencing the impact of rapid change more than the American museum. In this talk\, Dr. Moore will identify and name the challenges to museums and the impact on visitors\, communities\, and museum professionals. What is the value of the museum in the 21st century? How can those who love museums fight back to preserve the positive benefits of museums as these institutions work hard to preserve memory\, archive human activity\, and work to tell inclusive\, truthful\, and powerful stories? Dr. Moore will outline the promise of cultural institutions and discuss how we need museums now more than ever to help us make meaning of our lives\, create places of respite and refuge\, and foster welcoming for all communities\; especially those with histories of oppression and marginalization.\n\nDr. Porchia Moore is the Associate Director of the Center for Arts\, Migration\, and Entrepreneurship and Associate Professor and Director of Museum Studies at the University of Florida. She is the Co-Director of the international collaboratory\, The Incluseum\, and the co-founder of the Visitors of Color Project. Her scholarship examines the relationship between digital technologies\, race\, identity\, and communities.
