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

SUMMARY:Performance:Imogen Says Nothing
DESCRIPTION:In the first folio of Shakepeare’s *Much Ado About Nothing*\, a character named Imogen appears briefly in the stage directions. She speaks no lines and is probably a typo. \n\nIn Aditi Kapil’s *Imogen Says Nothing*\, Imogen is a woman in Elizabethan England whose life is changed by the opportunity to appear in a performance of *Much Ado About Nothing* – an opportunity reserved solely for men. Imogen appears on stage as a woman playing a man playing a woman. To make matters more complicated\, Imogen is also a bear. \n\nA revisionist comedy in verse and prose\, this feminist hijacking of Shakespeare investigates the voices that have long been absent from the theatrical canon\, and the consequences of cutting them. \n\n*Imogen Says Nothing* premiered on January 20\, 2017\, at the Yale Repertory Theatre\, which also commissioned the play\, in New Haven\, Connecticut.\n\nWritten by Aditi Kapil\nDirected by Malcolm Tulip\n\nFUN FACTS:  Aditi Kapil took the title from a piece of dialogue in *Much Ado About Nothing*. Beatrice\, when describing Benedick\, says\, “The one is too like an image and says nothing.” \n\nAditi Kapil discusses the development of Imogen at Yale here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUZc0lWwiqI

SUMMARY:Exercise / Fitness:Swing Ann Arbor Swing II: November Swingout Bootcamp
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: It’s back again for a second month! In this course\, we will build on the Lindy Hop essentials of Swing I and learn how to do a swingout. Swingouts are a fundamental (and by far the most recognizable) move of Lindy Hop! They require dancers to hone their connection with a partner and can lay the groundwork for many new moves. We will dedicate most of the time in this class to cleaning up the swingouts you will learn in the first few weeks. We will also focus on musicality and teach you a few fun swingout variations (time permitting).  COURSE PREREQUISITES: Swing I or equivalent. You should feel comfortable switching between 6-count and 8-count Lindy Hop\, have experience with some basic variations (e.g. yoyos\, Lindy circles)\, and feel confident about your musicality and connection. We will not expect you to know how to do a swingout yet – we will teach you to do one! WHEN: 7:30pm-8:30pm on Thursdays (11/2\, 11/9\, 11/16\, 11/30) WHERE: Mason Hall Room 1401\, University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor  INSTRUCTORS: Sarah Redman & Steve Losh  PRICING:General Admission 4-Week Pass: $40SAA Member 4-Week Pass: $30Individual Class: $12Acceptable forms of payment: cash\, check\, or PayPal REGISTRATION: Please register in advance by filling out this short form: https://tinyurl.com/SAANovProgressives\
