SUMMARY:Performance:Julie Zhu\, carillon
DESCRIPTION:Julie Zhu\, President's Postdoctoral Fellow\, performs on the Charles Baird Carillon\, an instrument of 53 bronze bells located inside the Burton Memorial Tower. The largest bell\, which strikes the hour\, weighs 12 tons\, while the smallest bell\, 4½ octaves above\, weighs just 15 pounds.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Charles Baird Carillon at noon every weekday that classes are in session\, followed by visitor Q&A with the carillonist. The bell chamber may be accessed via a combination of elevator and stairs. Take the elevator to the highest floor possible (floor 8)\, and then climb two flights of stairs (39 steps) to the bell chamber (floor 10). Earplugs are available from the carillonist upon request. Be prepared to walk on ice and snow in the bell chamber during winter. Built in 1936\, the Charles Baird Carillon is not ADA accessible. Visitors with mobility concerns are invited to visit the Lurie Carillon: https://smtd.umich.edu/facilities/ann-and-robert-h-lurie-carillon/

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Revolutionary Stagecraft: Theater\, Technology\, and Politics in Modern China
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom: \nhttps://myumi.ch/nyqZd\n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Chun will draw on her recently published book\, \"Revolutionary Stagecraft: Theater\, Technology\, and Politics in Modern China\" (University of Michigan Press\, 2024) to discuss deep entanglements among technological modernization\, political agendas\, and the performing arts in China from the 1920s to the early 1980s. By examining both iconic performances and little-known plays from the perspective of the stage technologies involved\, this talk reveals the complex and at times surprising ways in which Chinese theater artists and technicians of the 20th century envisioned and enacted their own political and artistic revolutions through the materiality of the theater apparatus.\n   \nTarryn Li-Min Chun is Assistant Professor in the Department of Film\, Television\, and Theatre at the University of Notre Dame. Her research focuses on intersections of performance\, technology\, and media in modern and contemporary Sinophone theatre. She is author of \"Revolutionary Stagecraft: Theater\, Technology\, and Politics in Modern China\" (University of Michigan Press\, 2024) and co-editor with Xiaomei Chen and Siyuan Liu of \"Rethinking Socialist Theaters of Reform: Performance Practice and Debate in the Mao Era\" (University of Michigan Press\, 2022). Her work has appeared in Modern Chinese Literature and Culture\, Theatre Journal\, Theatre Survey\, TDR\, and Asian Theatre Journal\, and several edited volumes. She is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship (USA) and other awards.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at chinese.studies@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
