SUMMARY:Performance:\"People Are Things\" – Devised
DESCRIPTION:Undergraduate student Tiara Partsch directs this senior thesis show\, a performance of the devised work\, *People Are Things*.\n\nSylvie is a woman like any other. She does not cry when her husband leaves her\; in fact\, she does not say a word – that is\, until she slips a knife in her bag\, before heading out to work. \n\nAs she navigates presence\, absence and their respective boundaries\, Sylvie finds herself on the edge of the world: although no one *really* gets hurt\, this story deals in all-absorbing violence\, the silent kind: the kind which Sylvie finds in every area of her life\, her marriage\, her house\, her employer – an existential violence she attempts (and fails) to contain and define. *People Are Things* is a study of silence. The aura of it\; the sound it might long for at night.\n\nPresented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre Performance: Directing.\n

SUMMARY:Performance:MA in Media Arts Thesis Performance: SinYu Deng
DESCRIPTION:*Bare Display* is an avant-garde interactive immersive dance performance\, set to unfold in the Brehm Technology Suite on April 13 and 14 at 7:00 pm. Presented by SinYu Deng\, candidate for the MA in Media Arts in the Department of Performing Arts Technology.\n\nThis provocative piece delves deep into the commodification and objectification of the human body within society\, presenting a critical examination of how bodies are standardized\, traded\, and valued as mere objects awaiting utilitarian use. It confronts the audience with the unsettling reality of bodies transformed into standardized commodities\, subject to scrutiny\, control\, and consumption.\n\nThrough the medium of dance\, performers in *Bare Display* become the observed\, symbolizing victims confined within the spectacle of the stage. This performance serves as a stark mirror\, reflecting the harsh truths about societal norms and the commodification practices that dehumanize and depersonalize the individual. Incorporating a blend of sound\, visual effects\, and motion capture technology\, *Bare Display* not only challenges but also immerses the audience in a narrative centered around the 'body' as the main axis of the exhibition.\n\nThis daring exploration invites viewers to reconsider the value and autonomy of the human form in a digitized and scrutinized world. *Bare Display* aims to provoke thought\, stir debate\, and inspire a reevaluation of the roles that bodies play in a consumer-driven culture\, highlighting the often overlooked implications of treating bodies as exhibits to be observed\, judged\, and utilized.

SUMMARY:Performance:\"Tidal Sirens\" - Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance Senior Concert
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan School of Music Theater & Dance and the Department of Dance present *Tidal Sirens*\, a Bachelor of Fine Arts dance concert featuring choreography and performances by graduating seniors Joelie Havey\, Kali Hightower\, Alana Packo\, and Caitlyn Wade.\n\nFree tickets are available at the door starting one hour before the performance.\n\nJoelie Havey abstractly shares the story of her grandparents’ current mental and physical challenges and the impact these two important individuals had on her teen years and early twenties through her choreography.\n\nKali Hightower’s piece *Terms and Conditions* unravels the masked layers of media influence\, examining how society's view is shaped and often distorted by the screen. The piece seeks to challenge the audience to question the authenticity of their perceptions and the information they consume daily. Her solo\, *Bluffs* serves as a profound reflection of her life's journey\, encapsulating the valuable lessons she has garnered at every significant milestone.\n\nCaitlyn Wade’s *Rage Rage*\, is a dance depicting a hypothetical desolate\, isolated planet which houses recently deceased mythological humans. Which of these beings are then guided to their permanent residence among the stars? And which of these beings will remain on the planet\, not worthy of an honor in the sky? The answer is yet to come. Wade’s solo\, included within her group work\, follows the same theme\, and focuses on a lesser-known Greek mythological character – Boreas\, who\, after death\, became a lost asteroid that probes and orbits the lonesome outskirts of the universe\, reflecting the complexity of the emotions surrounding ideas of isolation\, abandonment\, and self-worth.

SUMMARY:Performance:Frontier Ruckus
DESCRIPTION:\"...one of the best things to come out of Michigan since Faygo Redpop.\" –Allmusic\n\nSince the release of their 2008 debut album\, the songs of Frontier Ruckus have delivered a singularly detailed representation of the glorious yet grim minutiae of Midwestern suburban life. The obsessively crafted lyrical world of songwriter Matthew Milia is brought to life by David Jones and Zachary Nichols whose instrumental contributions serve as colorfully instinctive extensions. From stages at Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo to the intimate living rooms of fans\, this magnetic chemistry has helped Frontier Ruckus garner a dedicated following across the United States and Europe. In 2017 the band released their 5th LP\, Enter the Kingdom—co-produced by founding Wilco drummer\, Ken Coomer. The record's complex rhyme schemes and winsome charm were praised by legendary rock critic Robert Christgau. After taking a hiatus\, the band now preps their 6th album for release to highly anticipating fans everywhere.\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4679/4680 for more detail.
