Register online: https://forms.gle/XFmv5GL9pEgm9mEs6

Join the Michigan Engineering community for a conversation with leaders from the nuclear industry, including former leadership from the Department of Energy. Dr. Monica Regalbuto, Idaho National Laboratory, served as former Assistant Secretary for Energy and Environmental Management for the U.S. Department of Energy where she was responsible for clean-up of sites, including Rocky Flats and the Hanford site. River Bennett is a Nuclear Policy Analyst for Nuclear Innovation Alliance which supports entrepreneurialism and commercialization of advanced nuclear energy systems with the goal of providing more economically competitive, carbon-free energy to the world. He is an advocate with Students for Nuclear. Dr. Sola Talabi is a consultant with Pittsburgh Technical, providing expertise in risk management consulting within the nuclear energy industry. The panel will be moderated by Dr. Ann Verhey-Henke, Strategic Director of the U-M Center for Socially Engaged Design.

Panelists will provide insight in several areas, such as:
-What is the status of clean-up of sites like Rocky Flats and Hanford? What big challenges are remaining?
-What are the global implications of nuclear energy growth? Where is nuclear energy growing most significantly? Does this represent a challenge or a new opportunity?
-Is nuclear energy safe? Can it be contained? How do we assess risk in this area?
-How accurate is the portrayal of Rocky Flats as presented in “Full Body Burden” by Kristen Iversen?

Members of the Michigan Engineering community who read "Full Body Burden” will find this discussion an engaging follow-up to the text. This panel is relevant and open to all members of the University of Michigan community.

Location: Walgreen Drama Center
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Adapted by Kate Hamill.
Based on the novel by Jane Austen.
Directed by Priscilla Lindsay.

When sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood are left financially destitute by their father’s sudden passing, they must navigate the perilous social circles in their new, vulnerable status. As potential suitors come and go, so do their hopes for true love. Full of gossip, humor, and heart-felt moments, this classic story examines the effects of societal pressures on love and life. The play Sense and Sensibility premiered in 2014 at New York City’s Bedlam Theater Company, returning for another, longer run in 2016, and was named The New York Times Critic’s Pick for both years. The New York Times calls Sense and Sensibility a “bouncy, jaunty take on Austen…[that] remains remarkably true to the values and priorities of its source.”

Location: Walgreen Drama Center
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Adapted by Kate Hamill.
Based on the novel by Jane Austen.
Directed by Priscilla Lindsay.

When sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood are left financially destitute by their father’s sudden passing, they must navigate the perilous social circles in their new, vulnerable status. As potential suitors come and go, so do their hopes for true love. Full of gossip, humor, and heart-felt moments, this classic story examines the effects of societal pressures on love and life. The play Sense and Sensibility premiered in 2014 at New York City’s Bedlam Theater Company, returning for another, longer run in 2016, and was named The New York Times Critic’s Pick for both years. The New York Times calls Sense and Sensibility a “bouncy, jaunty take on Austen…[that] remains remarkably true to the values and priorities of its source.”

Center for World Performance Studies presents Makuyeika: Colectivo Teatral, founded by U-M alumnus Héctor Flores Komatsu, for a one week artist residency that will include class visits, workshops and two performances of their devised-work Andares. This piece chronicles the lives of indigenous youth in México, and the realities that they face at the crossroads of modern life and tradition. Performances of the piece will take place in the Newman Studio at Walgreen Drama Center on Thursday, October 17 and Friday, October 18 at 8pm.

Makuyeika: Colectivo Teatral is a theatre ensemble dedicated to creating original works about the narratives and theatricalities of Mexico’s indigenous people, touching with keen, artistic sensibility themes of great social, cultural, and human value. Meaning “wayfarer” in the language of the Wixarika people, Makuyeika was formed after an extensive search across the country’s indigenous communities, a project undertaken by Flores Komatsu as an inaugural recipient of The Julie Taymor World Theatre Fellowship.

Andares is a theatre creation about the lives of indigenous youth in México, devised collectively through personal anecdotes, ancestral myths, as well as traditional music and art forms. The play shines light on a range of realities — land usurpation, widespread violence, ancestral duties, community resistance, — that indigenous people face at the crossroads of modern life and tradition. Meaning “pathways,” Andares is a genuine, eye-opening, and intimate close-up on Mexico’s most remote corners and the extraordinary stories of its humble, everyday inhabitants.

From the climate imperatives to make the built environment carbon positive to novel material forming techniques such as 3D printing, concrete is undergoing a transformation along different fronts in the building industry. As computational design and digital fabrication technologies become mainstream in the AEC industries, scaling up to address construction level challenges, concrete holds tremendous promise for the future, not only in shaping our built environment but also in how we build, our ethos and aspirations. Yet, there are many hurdles to overcome. With traditional building processes steeped in protocols and regulations, moving R+D to the building sector requires an awareness of the different players, institutions, and contingencies that shape the contours of concrete innovation.

What approaches contribute to a smooth transfer of innovations to the building sector? Given new modes of manufacturing, what are the new codes and standards that will govern the path toward implementation? What cross-platform systems will need to be in place in order to facilitate automation and construction productivity? What are the new technologies and associated expertise that will emerge to redefine architectural practice and the building industry, especially to navigate and manage the increasingly multi-disciplinary teams?

This symposium, rather than a survey of contemporary concrete architecture, brings researchers and industry experts together from diverse disciplinary fields and areas of production – history & theory, engineering, construction technology, material science, design, and manufacturing – for a timely discussion centered on concrete as a building material with enormous potential for innovation. The symposium aims to foster and identify trajectories for advancing concrete research and align potential collaborative exchanges.

Co-organized by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning and the University of Michigan College of Civil and Environmental Engineering, the symposium will launch with an evening keynote lecture on Thursday, October 31, followed by a full day symposium on Friday, November 1. The format consists of paired presentations centered on different topics related to concrete research, with a second keynote lecture at noon. A closing panel discussion aims to chart trajectories and methodologies for research and collaboration. Friday’s event will conclude with an exhibition opening reception downtown at the Liberty Research Annex gallery, highlighting some of the work produced by participants, including a performance by Brandon Clifford and Davide Zampini of Cemex.

The symposium is free and open to the public, and will also be available via live stream.

Mindfulness is the process of bringing a present-centered, intentional, and non-judgmental state of awareness to everyday experience. Emerging research suggests that practicing mindfulness may result in a number of beneficial outcomes for musicians, including improved focus, psychological resilience, and pro-social feelings and behaviors. But what do we truly know about mindfulness and its potential to transform our life and work? How can we separate the hype from the reality, and how might mindfulness fit into our already busy lives? In this talk, Diaz will discuss the promises and perils of mindfulness from his perspective as teacher, scholar, and practitioner of this ancient practice.

Diaz is associate professor of Music Education at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music and an active scholar and teacher in the field of contemplative science. He is also affiliate faculty for IU’s Cognitive Science program and co-director of the Music and Mind Lab at Indiana. Diaz is the founder and director of the Institute for Mindfulness-Based Wellness and Pedagogy, where he collaborates with an international group of artists, educators, and scholars on disseminating research and best practices on the art of mindful living, teaching, and performance. Along with his work on mindfulness, Diaz maintains an active schedule as a performer, conductor, adjudicator, and clinician. His work on mindfulness has been published in top-tier music education and music psychology journals, and has been featured on NPR, The Huffington Post, and other local and national media outlets.

By Quiara Alegría Hudes
Directed by Geoff Packard

Yazmin Ortiz has been spinning her wheels in academia as an adjunct professor of music when the death of a prominent family member brings her back to the barrio and to her cousin, Elliot Ortiz, a returned Iraq War veteran who struggles to deal with the memories of the war he left behind. Odessa Ortiz, Elliot’s mother and a recovering addict, is the founder and administrator of an online chatroom for other recovering addicts, helping them stay on the straight and narrow. Odessa’s online chatroom brings people together for comfort and support who may have never met otherwise, as her real-life family is splintering at a rapid pace. Inventive and timely, Quiara Alegría Hudes’ Pulitzer Prize-winning Water by the Spoonful is a powerful, compassionate look at the meaning of family, and the burdens we must carry to protect it.

Water by the Spoonful gets its name from the restorative power of water. The play was commissioned by Hartford Stage while Quiara Alegría Hudes (who also wrote the book for the Tony Award-winning In The Heights) was an Aetna New Voices Fellow. The play debuted in October, 2011 to strong reviews, with one critic describing it as “one of the best new plays I’ve seen in years” (Frank Rizzo, The Hartford Courant). It received a similar welcome when it opened Off-Broadway in 2013, and won a Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2012. “A combination poem, prayer, and app on how to cope in an age of uncertainty, speed, and chaos” (Variety), Water by the Spoonful is a thought-provoking and heartwarming piece about finding and granting forgiveness, to yourself and others

Water by the Spoonful contains strong language and sensitive themes including PTSD, addiction, and suicide. Audience discretion is advised.

Wendell Brooks is senior vice president of Intel Corporation and president of Intel Capital. He is responsible for all areas of strategic growth, including equity investing, M&A, and new business incubation.

As head of Intel Capital, Intel’s global investment organization, Brooks leads equity investments in innovative technology startups and companies worldwide. Under his leadership, Intel Capital is making bigger bets and delivering market leading returns by providing not only financial investments, but also the full resources of Intel to its portfolio companies. As head of one of the largest, most successful and longest serving corporate venture organizations, he has been named among the top three leaders on the Global Corporate Venturing Powerlist since 2016, most recently as No. 1 in 2018.

Brooks is also responsible for leading, managing and driving Intel’s mergers and acquisitions. He led the transformational acquisitions of Altera and Mobileye, both of which have been key elements of Intel’s growth strategy. He also led the successful divestiture of McAfee. He created the Intel Sports Group as a product of inorganic and organic efforts, and he continues to lead it as a separate business unit of Intel.

As a natural extension of his inorganic growth efforts, in 2018 Brooks was asked to lead Intel’s New Technology Group, developing new technologies and businesses internally. He redefined the portfolio to align with the team’s core mission and changed the model to focus on nimble innovation as the Emerging Growth and Incubation Group.

By Quiara Alegría Hudes
Directed by Geoff Packard

Yazmin Ortiz has been spinning her wheels in academia as an adjunct professor of music when the death of a prominent family member brings her back to the barrio and to her cousin, Elliot Ortiz, a returned Iraq War veteran who struggles to deal with the memories of the war he left behind. Odessa Ortiz, Elliot’s mother and a recovering addict, is the founder and administrator of an online chatroom for other recovering addicts, helping them stay on the straight and narrow. Odessa’s online chatroom brings people together for comfort and support who may have never met otherwise, as her real-life family is splintering at a rapid pace. Inventive and timely, Quiara Alegría Hudes’ Pulitzer Prize-winning Water by the Spoonful is a powerful, compassionate look at the meaning of family, and the burdens we must carry to protect it.

Water by the Spoonful gets its name from the restorative power of water. The play was commissioned by Hartford Stage while Quiara Alegría Hudes (who also wrote the book for the Tony Award-winning In The Heights) was an Aetna New Voices Fellow. The play debuted in October, 2011 to strong reviews, with one critic describing it as “one of the best new plays I’ve seen in years” (Frank Rizzo, The Hartford Courant). It received a similar welcome when it opened Off-Broadway in 2013, and won a Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2012. “A combination poem, prayer, and app on how to cope in an age of uncertainty, speed, and chaos” (Variety), Water by the Spoonful is a thought-provoking and heartwarming piece about finding and granting forgiveness, to yourself and others

Water by the Spoonful contains strong language and sensitive themes including PTSD, addiction, and suicide. Audience discretion is advised.

Sara Jones, a Ross MBA ‘10, was one of the first people named to work on Boeing’s ambitious, future-looking HorizonX organization when it was announced in 2017. Now, her work with the company on creating the next generation of the aerospace industry is getting recognized in the press.

Recently listed among the 40 Under 40 in Seattle by the Puget Sound Business Journal for her contributions to the future of business, Jones is a principal strategist for Boeing’s HorizonX and NeXt teams, which includes three other Michigan and Ross alumni — Michael Hauser, MBA ‘02; Duane Gardner, BSE ‘14; Tyler Jackson, MSE ‘16.

Together, along with a team of about 50 people, they work on identifying, commercializing, and operationalizing, the future technologies and business models that will help Boeing not only stay competitive, but lead innovation in the aerospace industry. Their vision is to bring flight closer to home through initiatives like autonomous passenger and cargo air vehicles, hybrid electric airplanes and the ecosystems that will support them.

Gaelynn Lea won NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Contest in 2016, and she’s been on the road ever since playing her unique mix of haunting original songs and traditional fiddle tunes. So far the singer-songwriter and violinist has appeared in 43 states and 7 countries – she’s graced the stage of renowned venues like Nashville’s Music City Roots, The Kennedy Center and House of Blues Chicago. Lea performs from her electric wheelchair. She began playing the violin 25 years ago after a creative music teacher helped her to adapt a playing style that suits her frame. Lea holds her instrument like a tiny cello and loops her classically trained rhythms and melodies with her Memory Man pedal to create a “symphonic cacophony that is both glorious in its reach and profoundly introspective,” Her original songs explore the contrasting nature of existence – dark and light, birth and death, anger and forgiveness, sorrow and joy. In addition to performing and recording, Lea also does speaking engagements about disability rights, finding inner freedom, and accessibility in the arts. In recent years, she has used her music as a platform to advocate for people with disabilities and to promote positive social change.

The symbiotic relationship between cerebral and corporeal intelligence systems - between the brain and the body - is central to how we understand and perform. The growing recognition of this connection has had a profound influence on the development of curriculum, teacher training and research.  The integration of artistic practices into the research process is a key aspect of this development. This presentation looks at two approaches to the use of artistic contemporary research: arts-based and arts practice methods. 
 
Arts-based research draws on a variety of practices including poetry, drawing song-writing, improvisation, composition and performance across all phases of research including data collection, analysis, interpretation and representation (Leavy, 2015). In Arts Practice research, artistic practice is a key method of exploration and forms a substantial part of the submitted evidence around the research inquiry (Nelson, 2013).
 
This presentation discusses strategies for the inclusion of arts-based or arts practice approaches in contemporary research, looking at questions of expertise, ethics, representation, dissemination and appropriateness to the research question. It concludes with a case study of arts-based research that uses singing as a tool of social and cultural integration in an Irish primary school.

…….

Helen Phelan is professor of arts practice at the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance, University of Limerick, Ireland. She is an Irish Research Council recipient for her work on singing and new migrant communities in Ireland. Her most recent book, Singing the Rite to Belong: Music, Ritual and the New Irish, was published by Oxford University Press in 2017. As a singer and ritual scholar, she specializes in chant associated with religious rituals and is co-founder of the female vocal group Cantoral, who released their much-acclaimed CD recording of Irish medieval chant in 2014. She serves on the editorial boards of a number of journals including Frontiers in Psychology, The International Journal of Community Music and Experiments and Intensities: A Journal for Performance-as-Research. She is founder of the Singing and Social Inclusion research group and a member of the University of Limerick Sanctuary board. Her primary research interests are in singing, ritual and migration as well as arts-based and arts practice research methods. Her most recent project, funded by the Health Research Board, explores the use of arts-based methods in migrant health research.

Location: Walgreen Drama Center
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Directed by Michael McElroy
Music direction by Michael McElroy

Shakespeare meets Motown, Gospel, Blues, and Soul In Sonnets, Soliloquies, & Soul, conceived and directed by Tony Award nominee Michael McElroy (director of the Tony Award-winning “Broadway’s Inspirational Voices”). By “colliding” the cornerstone of classic text with African-American musical genres, McElroy (with collaboration from a group of incredibly diverse Musical Theatre students) creates a new musical work that delves into the heart of the human experience--how we’ve grown, and spaces where we can still explore change.

“We are in a space and a time right now where we are so fractured,” says McElroy. “What theatre has to do right now more than ever is to fill that void. People can come together to grapple with what they believe without feeling judged or confronted. Theater and music help us to explore the ways in which we are different but more importantly how at our core very much the same. How is Shakespeare's investigation of humanity in the 1600’s the same as what we grapple with today?”

To answer that question, McElroy commissioned musical responses to Shakespeare’s sonnets and soliloquies from peers including Daniel Watts (Ike Turner from Broadway’s Tina: The Tina Turner Musical), Julianne Wick Davis (Jonathan Larson Award Winner), Crystal Monee Hall (Rent), Celisse Henderson (Godspell) Marcus Paul James (Ain’t Too Proud) and Allen Louis. Some musical responses include lines directly from Shakespeare’s text; some, like a Blues piece that’s the antithesis of the sonnet to which it responds, turn the traditional language on its head. Original text interweaves with Shakespearean sonnets, soliloquies, and new musical works, creating a song-cycle that highlights the throughlines of love, loss, hate, time, age, and jealousy that tie us together.

Folkloric dance and music festivals draw in diverse audiences, entertaining participants and instilling a sense of pride in Canadian multiculturalism as a national trait. Folklorama lays claim to being the longest running and largest multicultural festival of its kind in the world, and it is one that relies heavily on community groups more than well known performers. What can an examination of the festival tell us about Canadian national self-narratives? And is it possible to negotiate the complexities of difference and identity politics by engaging in music and dance?

The Center for World Performance Studies Faculty Lecture Series features our Faculty Fellows and visiting scholars and practitioners in the fields of ethnography and performance. Designed to create an informal and intimate setting for intellectual exchange among students, scholars, and the community, faculty are invited to present their work in an interactive and performative fashion.

If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event, please contact the Center for World Performance Studies, at 734-936-2777. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.

Encores are traditionally the “dessert” of a concert, called upon after a meaty program of sonatas and savorier repertoire. Sometimes they are whimsical little things, charming and sweet, other times full of fire, flash, and virtuosity. Violinists from the studio of Danielle Belen join with pianists from SMTD to perform works in this genre from around the world.
