SUMMARY:Performance:7 Hours Difference Part II: Simple Present Tense
DESCRIPTION:‘Present Simple Tense’ is a full evening length devised dance theater work created by the renowned guest artist Tatyana Solokova in collaboration with the cast. The piece is the second part of the international collaboration project between Tatyana Sokolova at New Bulgarian University (NBU) in Sofia and Tzveta Kassabova at University of Michigan\, Department of Theatre and Drama. The first piece premiered this May in Sofia and will be performed regularly at NBU throughout the next year. Both works bridge the gap between the genres of visual art\, music\, theater\, and movement. They explore similar themes and subject matters\, but viewed from two very different cultures that are more than an ocean apart. At the center of our project is the question ‘How much does one need to be happy?’ – how many things\, how much money\, how much work\, how much interaction\, how much loneliness\, how much care\, how much dreaming\, how much playing\, how much talking? But also\, when is it too much\, what happens when a line is crossed? A metaphor and a starting point for our exploration is logorrhea – a state of excessive and often incoherent talkativeness or wordiness. We extrapolate this notion into many physical\, behavioral and social aspects and interactions. We also explore human senses - how and why do we prioritize the use of our senses\, what happens when we try to explore each of them individually? What happens when we try to liming the predominant sense in various circumstances and how can that generate movement material and influence the overall structure of the work? Our overarching question is what is idiosyncratic\, what is cultural and what is universal?

SUMMARY:Performance:Fight Night | Ontroerend Goed
DESCRIPTION:Five candidates. One winner. You decide who survives. \n\nOn the brink of a presidential election that people on both sides have called the most consequential in history\, Belgium’s extraordinary Ontroerend Goed offers a fun and thought-provoking\, examination of free will and politics that puts electronic voting devices — and the candidates’ fates — directly into the hands of audience members.\n\nFirst created in 2013\, seemingly a lifetime ago in the political landscape\, this critically acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe Festival hit has been reimagined for the present day\, with each performance taking a different turn depending on those in the audience. This resolutely political show contains no identifiable political message\, ideology\, or social or economic reality\, but draws attention to the reasons and motivations that cause people to vote in a certain way and how the battle for our attention\, sympathy\, and approval reveal surprising and superficial snap judgments. If you are sick and tired of the constant bombardment of political antagonism in every facet of life\, this immersive and sharp analysis of democracy will force you to step back and consider why we care so much\; it is “funny\, revealing\, and very invigorating…You will encounter things that no US company would dare do.” (Chicago Tribune)

Her work has provided invaluable opportunities for students to engage with art\, curating\, and collections management.

A Denver native\, Andrews holds a B.A. from Wesleyan University\, an M.A. from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts\, and a Ph.D. in Cultural Studies.\n\"Silver Linings: Celebrating the Spelman Art Collection\" is on view at the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA) through January 5\, 2025.\nPresented in partnership with the University of Michigan Museum of Art. \nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS and PBS Books.

SUMMARY:Performance:Kaitlin Butts
DESCRIPTION:A truly one-of-a-kind artist\, Kaitlin Butts has a deep affinity for country music’s more theatrical side: the extravagant storytelling\, dazzling showmanship\, songs embedded with both unbridled emotion and quick-fire humor. After discovering her passion for performing as a little girl\, the Tulsa native later brought her boundless energy and radiant voice to her own unapologetic yet soulful songwriting. When it came time to create her third album\, the Nashville-based musician leaned into her lifelong love of musical theater and dreamed up a modern-day reimagining of the soundtrack to her all-time favorite musical\, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! The result: a high-concept but candidly autobiographical LP called Roadrunner!\, whose 17 powerhouse songs show the full force and extraordinary depth of Butts’ artistry for the very first time.\n\nProduced by Oran Thornton (Brent Cobb\, Logan Brill)\, Roadrunner! marks a major tonal shift from Butts’ 2022 sophomore LP what else can she do\, a character-driven exploration of complex matters like addiction\, domestic violence\, and generational trauma. “With the last album I wanted to write about the struggles I’d seen people go through or experienced myself\, so a lot of the songs had a sadness or darkness to them\,” she says. “I feel like Roadrunner! is much closer to what I’m like onstage\, where there’s real emotion and truth but also humor and a tendency to poke fun. It’s all those different versions of me at once.” Roadrunner! ultimately matches that multidimensionality with a lush and fiery sound informed by Butts’ eclectic influences (outlaw country\, strong-minded country-pop\, timeless rock-and-roll\, and more).\n\nhttps://www.kaitlinbutts.com/
