SUMMARY:Performance:\"Shadowed Embraces\"
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Dance at the University of Michigan School of Music\, Theatre\, and Dance presents *Shadowed Embraces\,* with choreography by Robert Farr-Jones\, Mary Kacsur\, Stella Lansill\, and Najah Tucker.  This concert runs April 17th\, 18th\, & 19th at 7:30 pm. \n\nMary Kacsur’s group work\, *Light Encounters\,* utilizes three symbols–sunrise\, sunset\, and the North Star–to represent new beginnings\, hope\, direction\, and the guidance that we seek in our lives. Dancers Eve Anderson\, Ava Barber\, Alexandra Baron\, Julianne Doner\, Lily Gonzalez\, and Alyssa Hernandez take the audience on a reflective exploration through morning and night. In Kacsur’s solo\, Love\, Mary\, she reflects on significant moments in her life\, exploring themes of resilience\, nostalgia\, and healing. By sharing her personal journey\, she highlights the importance of investing in moments that bring joy and truly matter.\n\nInspired by Jewish traditions\, ancestral memory\, and identity\, Stella Lansill’s *A fire must be tended to* explores trauma\, resilience\, intimacy\, and rebirth through movement\, visual art\, and live music. The connected group and solo piece confront youthful naivety with the ancient hymn hidden within us—burdened by past suffering and inherited trauma but gifted with the wisdom\, strength\, and creativity of those who came before\, whose voices still hum within us. Through cycles of nurturing\, explorations of queer relationships\, and sacred reckoning\, the performers undergo spiritual deaths and renewal\, embracing “darkness” as a radical space for growth and collective healing.\n\n*Consuming\,* choreographed by Najah Tucker\, explores how the weight of one singular want can cause a tidal wave of disaster. The work investigates this impending tidal wave of emotions through an ensemble of dancers. Before\, Tucker’s solo\, reminisces on past experiences that led her to where she is today.\n\nRobert Farr-Jones’s work *i’m not ready // they must be fed* explores transformation\, found family\, and the inevitability of change\, using the natural phenomenon of a whale fall as a guiding image. Through layered fabric veils developed in collaboration with a Design and Production major Ceri Roberts\, this choreography navigates cycles of loss and renewal\, inviting the audience to reflect on the profound transitions that shape our lives. \n\nThis concert is supported in part through the School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, EXCEL Enterprise Fund and the Arts at Michigan Fund.

SUMMARY:Performance:Titanic: The Musical
DESCRIPTION:*Titanic: The Musical* premiered on Broadway in April 1997\, eight months before the well-known film. It went on to become a huge success\, winning the Tony Award for Best Musical and thrilling audiences for its depiction of a defining moment in 20th-century history. The RMS *Titanic* was unlike any ship that had come before\, a marvel of engineering and a powerful symbol of progress – until its deadly collision with an iceberg turned it into a representation of hubris and human frailty. \n\nThis stirring musical depicts the hopes and aspirations of actual passengers on board the ill-fated ship\, from the wealthy and powerful in first class\, to the ambitious middle-class passengers\, to the poor immigrants in steerage – all thrilled to be part of this historic voyage\, hopeful for the future\, and blissfully unaware of the tragedy ahead. \n\n\nMusic and lyrics by Maury Yeston\nBook by Peter Stone\nDirector André Garner\nMusic Director Tyler Driskill\n\nRecommended Ages: 11+

SUMMARY:Performance:Victor Wooten and the Wooten Brothers
DESCRIPTION:A legendary band of brothers\nFor over four decades the Wooten Brothers have been recognized as some of the most innovative musicians in existence and are collectively known as one of the most talented and dynamic band of brothers the world has ever known. Since they were young\, the brothers have been a musical tour-de-force redefining the limits of jazz\, funk\, soul\, R&B\, rock\, and bluegrass. \nVictor Wooten\, a five-time Grammy Award-winning artist\, has graced the cover of Bass Player Magazine five times. He is a founding member of the eclectic group Bela Fleck and the Flecktones and is recognized as one of the greatest living bassist today often drawing comparisons to Jaco Pastorius\, and was named one of the “Top ten bassist of all time” by Rolling Stone Magazine.\n\nJoseph Wooten has a dizzying list of talents that is impressive even by the Wooten clan’s standards. Currently the keyboardist for the Steve Miller Band (since 1993)\, he is also a composer\, orchestrator\, motivational speaker\, and has been showcased as an amazing vocalist since he was a child. He has collaborated with the likes of Whitney Houston and Kenny G\, and when not touring with Miller\, leads his own band\, performs with Freedom Sings\, and even helps out his little brother as keyboardist\, vocalist\, and composer for The Victor Wooten Band. \n\nRoy “Futureman” Wooten\, also a five-time Grammy Award winner\, is best known for his masterful drumming and percussion skills and is a founding member of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. Roy\, a seasoned drum set player\, is mostly known for his frenzied\, inimitable on-stage performances heightened by his surreal choice of instruments: his trademark inventions “The Drumitar” and “RoyEl” keyboard. He is also a philosopher\, researcher\, filmmaker\, and educator. His impressive solo career and “Black Mozart” projects scan the genres of classical\, jazz\, soul\, gospel\, and spoken word. \n\nRegi Wooten’s signature guitar style of chording\, slapping\, tapping and frenzied strumming has earned him world-wide notoriety and comparisons to Jimi Hendrix\, Frank Zappa and Chuck Berry. In recent years\, Regi has performed with many artists including the legendary Ginger Baker. Regi\, known worldwide as “The Teacher”\, currently teaches music in Nashville\, TN and has taught many notable musicians. He was teaching his little brothers Joseph and Victor when he himself was only 9 years old. \n\nTogether The Wooten Brothers bring an uncanny level of experience\, originality\, and musical expertise to the stage. Their shows will be a high-energy\, super-funky\, artistic blend of styles including original songs and classics. In short: these brothers are the real deal and their shows are not to be missed.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CREES Exhibition. Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\, an installation by Gluklya
DESCRIPTION:Gluklya’s work is a powerful example of socially engaged art at the intersections of gender\, class\, and cultural identity. By focusing on experiences of female textile workers in Kyrgyzstan\, the artist explores the often-overlooked stories of women affected by Soviet and post-Soviet colonialism. \"Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\" retells their stories using a diverse range of media — film\, sculpture\, watercolors\, and felt tapestries. Unfolding the implications of economic and societal pressures on women\, Gluklya explores issues of poverty\, isolation\, and exploitation among the garment workers.\n   \n   Personal stories are woven into a broader social context — such as the legacy of the \"Likbez\" (liquidation of illiteracy) campaign among women in Central Asia during Soviet rule and entrenched patriarchal traditions\, like \"Ala Kachuu\" (bride-kidnapping). This dynamic — where colonization and modernization intertwine the individual lives they touch — raises questions about cultural identity and the ethical borders of decolonized research.\n\nThis exhibition was curated by CREES alumna Dianne Beal (BA REES '79). See more of her work here: https://www.diannebeal.com/curatorial.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka
DESCRIPTION:The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky)\, ritual cloths (rushnyky)\, and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death\, punctuating important life events in between. A variety of embroidery patterns are used throughout Ukraine\; some stitches are universally known\, while others are region-specific. Ukrainian embroidered clothing is now officially celebrated with an annual Vyshyvanka Day observed throughout the world in May.\n\nTo see photos and read more about exhibited items\, visit https://myumi.ch/AZedA\n   \n   The embroideries and textiles exhibited are from the private collections of Arnie Klein\, Solomia Soroka\, Katerina Sirinyok-Dolgaryova\, and from the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum located in Hamtramck\, Michigan.\n   \n   The exhibit opens on September 5\, 2024\, in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor. Contact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\n*The exhibition is cosponsored by the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum*.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Andy Ross Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The pieces here are from a large series of works made over the last several years. In them\, Ross explores humor and personal meaning through absurd juxtapositions of pairs of wildly varied images. Each single image is stripped of its original context (be it\, for example\, a history book\, an instruction manual\, or a magazine advertisement)\, placed on a white background like some kind of specimen\, and presented afresh with a new “companion image.” These companion images confront\, contrast and converse with each other\, and thereby build new relationships\, narratives\, jokes\, and contexts.\n\nAndy Ross grew up in Macomb County\, and has been making art in various mediums since the 1970s. He received a BFA degree from College for Creative Studies\, and an MFA degree from University of Michigan. He has taught photography\, art\, and web design at colleges in California and Michigan. His photographs and collages have been exhibited in schools\, galleries\, and museums across the United States.
