SUMMARY:Performance:\"Tales from our Roots\,\" a senior dance performance 
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Department of Dance presents *Tales from our Roots*\, a concert featuring group and solo choreography and performance by senior BFA dance majors Rae Beck\, Ruby Clay\, and Claire Schick.\n\nRae Beck’s\, *Mina\, The One Who Sees All*\, utilizes storytelling and dance to explore the concept of traveling into a fantasy realm. *The Typist* investigates the relationship between the artist and the machine. \n\nRuby Clay’s dance\, *B4 L8R*\, addresses the dichotomy between sisterhood and loneliness. Clay drew inspiration from their personal “unfinished business” and literature from the 1960s counterculture in making the work. \n\nInspired by the photography of Justine Kurland titled “Girl Pictures”\, Claire Schick’s\, *Sisters I Never Had*\, depicts a cast rebelling\, playing\, and lavishing in each other's company within nature. Schick’s solo\, *The Ballad of Big Trees*\, is in honor of Henry Cowell State Redwood Park in Santa Cruz\, California\, which holds a special place in Claire’s family and life.\n\nThis concert will be performed Thursday\, November 30 through Saturday\, December 2\, 2023. Shows begin at 8:00pm. (Livestreaming on December 1.) Tickets are free\, available at the door an hour before the start time.

SUMMARY:Performance:Adam Plomaritas
DESCRIPTION:A rising voice from Ypsilanti\n\nAdam Plomaritas effortlessly arrives at the seamless intersection of sophisticated rock\, country\, and soul. The Ypsilanti\, Michigan–based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist intricately fuses a warm\, bluesy trinity of sound across his thoughtful\, intimate catalog. With hints of Michael McDonald\, Amos Lee\, and Ray Charles\, Adam wraps listeners in a soothing\, genre-defying embrace. His emotive vocals\, hypnotic instrumentation\, and introspective tales provide a comforting reassurance about overcoming challenges in life and love. Adam draws on the words of John Coltrane to describe his own art: \"My music is the spiritual expression of what I am – My faith\, my knowledge\, my being .. When you begin to see the possibilities of music\, you desire to do something really good for people\, to help humanity free itself from its hang-ups .. I want to speak to their souls.\" \n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4360/4361 for more detail.

SUMMARY:Performance:Chamber Opera: \"Gianni Schicchi\"
DESCRIPTION:Step right up\, folks! Brace yourselves for a Jersey-fied twist on the operatic classic as we transport *Gianni Schicchi* from the cobblestone streets of 13th-century Florence to the sun-soaked shores of 2005 New Jersey! Picture this: a tale of money\, greed\, and the eternal clash between the old guard and the new wave\, all set against the backdrop of big hair\, bigger attitudes\, and the inescapable allure of the Jersey shore. \n\nGianni Schicchi\, the real Florentine legend plucked straight from Dante's *Inferno*\, is reborn in a high-spirited satire that's part cunning deceit\, part operatic rollercoaster. Get ready for a libretto that's more Sopranos than Puccini\, as we explore the timeless themes of wealth\, family\, and the pursuit of that elusive American Dream. \n\nAnd who could forget the show-stopping aria \"O mio babbino caro\,\" a powerhouse performance that'll leave you breathless and reaching for those gelato-scented tissues. Join us for a night of operatic mayhem where tradition meets modernity\, and where New Jersey's own Gianni Schicchi proves that even in the Garden State\, the drama is as grand as the arias! Don't miss this operatic extravaganza – because in Jersey\, the soprano isn't the only one hitting those high notes!\n\nConductor: Kirk Severtson \nStage Director: Mo Zhou \nJohn Morefield\, piano\n\nCAST\nGianni Schicchi: Cody Carlson \nRinuccio: Yinghui He \nLauretta: Cinderella Ksebati \nZita: Aria Minasian \nGherardo: Jabari Lewis \nNella: Amber Rogers \nSimone: Xavier Perry\nLa Ciesca: Maddy Ringo \nBetto di Signa: Thomas Long \nMarco: Justin Ingui \nMaestro Spinellocio & Pinellino: Loren Reash-Henz \nSer Amantio di Nicolao: Hunter Reid \nGherardino: Marisa Redding\nBuoso: Keen Williams
