The Living Earth Show: Tremble Staves Workshop Performance (March 14, 2019 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61418 61418-15099330@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 14, 2019 6:00pm
Location: Matthaei Botanical Gardens
Organized By: Center for World Performance Studies

In March 2019, composer and visual artist Raven Chacon and The Living Earth Show will travel to University of Michigan to workshop their new piece Tremble Staves: a wordless water opera synthesizing mixed media installation, manipulation of natural and artificial light and sound, and theatrical performance depicting the urgent but approaching crisis of water shortage burdening the region from California to the Navajo deserts. The full piece will be premiered in June 2019 in the flooded ruins of Sutro Baths, an early 20th century outdoor pool complex whose concrete remains are now a part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. This "workshop performance" in Ann Arbor, taking place in the lush setting of hte Matthaei Botanical Gardens Conservatory, will feature one movement of Tremble Staves and will feature members of the U-M Percussion Ensemble.

Chacon’s opera connects narratives of the San Francisco Bay Area’s relationship with water to overlapping Navajo creation stories in which water figures prominently. The work will be performed, from memory, by the virtuosic musicians of The Living Earth Show, utilizing amplified antlers, tape reels, effected guitars, and water as a dynamic percussion instrument. With this palette, Chacon combines electro-acoustic noises, traditional Navajo music, field recordings, and extended techniques rooted in the musical lineage of classical chamber music to craft a vital sonic and visual landscape.

The opera presents the sacred element of water as a struck, manipulated, and amplified instrument–in reverence while simultaneously creating a sonic violence representative of continuing scarcity of this natural resource. The audience joins the performers in the environment, turning a public space into a sonic ecosystem in which all participants are surrounded by the element discussed and interrogated by the music. The intention is immersion; the opera immerses a congregation of audience members anchored in a pond of resonance; communally engaging in the work yet aware of their own complicity in the draining of the water.

Each unique iteration of the piece will last approximately 15 minutes, starting at 6:00pm, 6:30pm and 7:30pm, with an Artist Q&A from 7:00-7:30pm. Attendees are invited to explore the conservatory during and between performances.

There will be limited seating available on a first come, first serve basis. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event, please contact Center for World Performance Studies, at 734-936-2777, at least one week in advance of this event.

Finding the Strength to Heal: A Journey of Rebuilding Amongst Violence

Join us at the Matthaei Botanical Gardens April 11th from 5:00-7:00 for an interactive photography special exhibit highlighting survivors’ healing journeys after experiencing sexual violence on college campuses. The exhibit will feature interviews, advice, and photographs taken by 24 female survivors of undergraduate unwanted sexual experiences, along with booths to highlight the sexual assault response services available at University of Michigan’s campus. Our goal is to teach students and service providers about healing after sexual violence while fostering a dialogue surrounding how universities and service organizations can best support survivor healing and decision-making.

Blue Bus transportation to the Matthaei Botanical Gardens will be leaving from the Michigan League at 5:00pm and again at 6:00pm on the date of the exhibit.

Buses will leave the gardens at 5:30pm and 6:30pm to return students back to the Michigan League upon conclusion of the exhibit.

Free parking will also be available onsite.

Drawing on his extensive academic experience studying and teaching ethnobotany, biology, anthropology, and American Indian studies, as well as his continued research as a specialist in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and the Great Lakes region with a focus on the Anishinaabek culture, Dr. Heron will present on incorporating ethnobotany in home gardens. First in a three-part lecture series called "Ethnobotany for Gardeners: Summer Speaker Series at The Strawbale @ Campus Farm." The event is organized by an interdisciplinary group of graduate students through the Dow Sustainability Fellows Program in collaboration with U-M Campus Farm. The culmination of the series will be an edible perennial landscape design for The Strawbale @ Campus Farm, the University’s newly-constructed off-grid natural building.

Three Chicago-area Korean-American artists render deeply personal interpretations of the natural world in the exhibit “Nature a Moment” at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. Using woodcut, painting on canvas, and mixed media, Linda Hyong, Sung Eun Hong, and Seong Ok Lee explore the world of flowers, gardens, and nature in vivid works that slow time to a fleeting present moment.

Linda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature. In her dream-like, nearly abstract paintings, Sung Eun Hong communicates her vision of what she calls “pure dreams and fantasy.”

Exhibit runs September 14 through November 15, 2019 at the

University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens, 1800 N. Dixboro Rd., Ann Arbor. Free.
