Department of Musical Theatre

Assistant Professor Malcolm Tulip guides the Department of Musical Theatre students in this expressionist approach to one of Shakespeare’s best-known romantic comedies. What might appear at first look to be a romantic game is at its roots a test of binary gender assignations and expectations, made all the more interesting by the challenge of depicting romance when your actors must stay 6 feet apart.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Global and Intercultural Study

As studying abroad becomes more of a possibility for U-M students, particularly for Winter 2022, CGIS will be offering a 2-day Winter Advising event where students can learn more about major-specific programs such as programs in the environment, pre-health, and public health and interest-specific program sessions such as studying abroad in the UK and English-Taught programs in Asia to name few. The LSA Scholarship Office and the Office of Financial Aid will join us on May 20th to help answer questions you may have on funding your semester program abroad as well as walking you through the application process! First Step sessions will be offered each day of the event as well. Each info session will be interactive. Each session will offer an opportunity to interact with advisors and address questions or concerns you may have regarding study abroad. To get a general idea of participation, please RSVP below and select info sessions that you'd be interested in. We'll send you a Zoom link as we get closer to the event!

DISCLAIMER: With each passing term, a small yet increasing number of our programs seem to offer the possibility of receiving students, so CGIS proceeded with very cautious optimism that students will be able to study abroad in the coming academic year. CGIS and the University of Michigan continue to closely monitor the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) situation as it develops worldwide. Parents and other concerned parties who would like to receive this information should ask their students to share the updates with them. Students planning to participate in CGIS programs worldwide are advised to continue to closely monitor the latest developments and to adhere to any national and international public health directives issued by their host country or institution. CGIS will contact students who have opened or submitted an application to a CGIS program if and when updates are available.

Curator’s Choice: Provenance Research and Repatriation to African Communities (May 24, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/84092 84092-21619989@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, May 24, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Click here to register: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/provenance-research-and-repatriation-to-african-communities-tickets-152584595633.

Repatriation, provenance, and collaboration with community partners are among the pressing issues facing museums with collections of African objects. These conversations have entered public discourse through discussions of the objects looted from Benin City in 1897. Yet, questions of African collections extend beyond the Benin case. Each collection has its own specific histories and presents unique challenges for museum professionals. 

Join this program organized by the Fowler Museum at UCLA that features curators from the Fowler, New Orleans Museum of Art, and University of Michigan Museum of Art for presentations and a panel discussion about current approaches and examples of work happening in museums today. The program will be moderated by Sylvester Okwunodu Ogbechie.

This program is generously supported by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation

Laura De Becker is the Interim Chief Curator and the Helmut and Candis Stern Curator of African Art at the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA). A specialist in Central African art, she joined UMMA after a fellowship at Wits Art Museum in Johannesburg, South Africa. De Becker has been working for many years with a team to reinstall UMMA’s permanent African collection, which will double the footprint of the African gallery and has prompted a separate project grappling with issues of restitution entitled, Wish You Were Here. 

Ndubuisi C. Ezeluomba is the Francois Billion Richardson curator of African art at the New Orleans Museum of Art. He received his doctorate in Art History from the University of Florida, Gainesville, and specializes in the visual cultures of shrines, having contributed articles and book chapters on the topic to various publications. He also writes on the museum and the politics of acquisition. 

Carlee S. Forbes is the Mellon Curatorial Fellow at the Fowler Museum, where she researches the African objects donated by the Wellcome Trust in 1965. Forbes received her Ph.D. in Art History from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She has worked with the Ackland Art Museum, the North Carolina Museum of Art, and the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art. Her research focuses on art produced during the colonial period in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, museum and collecting histories, and issues of provenance. 

Erica P. Jones is Curator of African Arts at the Fowler Museum. She received her Ph.D. in Art History from UCLA. Since joining the Fowler Museum in 2015, Jones has organized several exhibitions. In 2018, she curated a solo exhibition of Botswana-born painter Meleko Mokgosi, Bread, Butter, and Power, and authored the accompanying publication. Her 2019 exhibition, On Display in the Walled City: Nigeria at the British Empire Exhibition, 1924–1925, directly relates to the research conducted by the Fowler’s Mellon team. 

Sylvester Okwunodu Ogbechie is Professor of African and African Diaspora Arts in the Department of History of Art and Architecture, University of California, Santa Barbara. His research focuses on modern and contemporary African art, cultural informatics, and the arts and cultural patrimony of Africa and the African diaspora in the age of globalization. He is the author of Ben Enwonwu: The Making of An African Modernist (2008), Making History: African Collectors and the Canon of African Art (2011), and founder-editor of Critical Interventions: Journal of African Art History and Visual Culture. 

 

This program is organized and presented by the Fowler Museum at UCLA.

The Clements Bookworm: African American Children in the Antebellum North (June 18, 2021 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84098 84098-21620232@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, June 18, 2021 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

In her new book “Beyond the Boundaries of Childhood: African American Children in the Antebellum North,” Dr. Crystal Webster argues that young African Americans were frequently left outside the 19th century's emerging constructions of both race and childhood. They were marginalized in the development of schooling, ignored in debates over child labor, and presumed to lack the inherent innocence ascribed to white children. Drawing evidence from the urban centers of Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, Webster's innovative research yields a powerful new history of African American childhood before the Civil War, showing that Black children nevertheless carved out physical and social space for play, for learning, and for their own aspirations.

Dr. Webster joins us in conversation with Clements Library Director Paul Erickson. This episode coincides with the celebration of Juneteenth and a growing national recognition of understudied histories and experiences of African Americans in the past.

The annual series takes place at 7 PM on Mondays from June 21 to August 9, featuring performers from Michigan and around the U.S. playing either Burton or Lurie Tower. The carillon is an outdoor instrument, and attendees are requested to maintain social distance in the outdoor listening areas surrounding the towers. Attendees are required to follow the University of Michigan, Washtenaw County, Michigan state, and federal guidelines for large outdoor gatherings.

BIOGRAPHY: Hyojin (Jenna) Moon is a doctoral candidate in Sacred Music at the University of Michigan where she studies with Dr. James Kibbie (organ), Dr. Tiffany Ng (carillon), and Dr. Kola Owolabi (sacred music). Moon received her master’s degree from U-M with the Michele Johns Scholarship, and her bachelor’s degree from Trinity Christian College (organ and music education).

Moon has performed over 100 weekday carillon recitals at U-M. An avid carillon ambassador for diversity, she programmed her dissertation recital with an inclusive repertoire to celebrate carillon music by people of color and women. Moon organized a student carillon concert series, including “New Perspective & Inclusivity on Digital Carillon Concert,” collaborating with the Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs (Excellence in Entrepreneurship, Career Empowerment & Leadership Enterprise Fund), and a new Augmented Reality carillon performance with Architecture students (supported by a Sonic Scenographies Research Grant). She published her carillon works, 'Sae-Ta-Ryung (Birdsong)' and 'Parang-Sae (Bluebird),' in "Global Rings" (CHI Press, 2020). She was Vice President of the University of Michigan Carillon Guild.

Moon has extensive experience playing organ at churches throughout North America, the U-M Annual Organ Conferences, the AGO Lenten Recital Series, and the Brown Bag Recital Series on the Letourneau organ at the U-M. In 2019, Moon received a Rackham Predoctoral Fellowship to participate in the Netherlands and Germany U-M organ tour to perform in masterclasses at thirteen historic organs in Europe, including Amsterdam, Norden, Cappel, Hamburg, Leipzig, Rötha, Dresden, and Waltershausen.

Moon’s awards include the 2021 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Spirit Award, Rackham Dissertation Fellowship, Rackham Doctoral Fellowship, a Sonic Scenographies research grant, and the Excellence in Entrepreneurship, Career Empowerment & Leadership Enterprise Fund.

Bring a smart phone and earbud/ear phones for the best experience.

Under the open sky, four performers will enter a space of intimacy - where the desire to be close to one another after a year of distance propels their bodies into wild action and joyous abandon. Created against the backdrop of nature, audiences will experience a 25-minute immersive, outdoor performance with
four dancers and an original symphonic score by Scott Li, that catapults gorgeous melodic lines of longing into the intimacy of your earbuds. Linking topography, human form in movement, and the audience’s individual perspectives, TOGETHER IS CLOSE ENOUGH will lead each participant to a cathartic experience of closeness within our pandemic-induced seclusion. With daredevil physicality, VIM VIGOR communicates the complexity of human relationships through their signature dance-theater aesthetic, bodies will flare, emotions will flood, and the sharp urgency of our deepest feelings will rocket through space.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

In the late 1600s, English mapmaker William Hacke masterfully produced multiple copies of a manuscript atlas drawn from captured Spanish sea charts. One copy of these atlases is now held at the University of Michigan Clements Library. In this episode of the Bookworm, past Fellows Chet Van Duzer and Danny Zborover discuss their research on these 17th century sources. Van Duzer will explain indications of the locations of shipwrecks in Hacke Atlases—and how information about the treasure on those wrecks was later added (a change inspired by William Phips’ spectacular recovery of treasure from a Spanish wreck in 1687.) Zborover shares his research focused on the deep roots of entanglements between the Chontal Indigenous people in southern Mexico, and English, French, and Dutch pirates. He considers the Clements’ Hacke Atlas to be “one of the most instructive sources for our understanding of these Pacific coast colonial interests.”

Researchers have used social dominance, system justification, authoritarianism, and social identity theories, to understand intergroup phenomena ranging from racial categorization to political movements. The result has been a growing understanding of how particular sociopolitical motives and contexts impact intergroup relations, without a unifying perspective to integrate these insights. Using research on multiracial categorization as a case study, I review evidence supporting each theory’s predictions concerning how monoracial perceivers categorize multiracial people that combine their ingroup with an outgroup, with attention to the moderating role of perceiver group status. I find most studies in the multiracial categorization literature cannot arbitrate between theories of intergroup relations and reveal additional gaps in the literature. To advance this research area, I introduce the Sociopolitical Motive x Intergroup Threat (SMIT) Model of Intergroup Relations that 1) clarifies which sociopolitical motives interact with which intergroup threats to predict categorization and 2) highlights the role of perceiver group status. Moreover, I consider how the SMIT model can help understand phenomena beyond multiracial categorization.

Do you find yourself feeling lost when people around you are laughing and you seem to have missed the joke? Humor is an important part of interacting but can be a challenge to understand. Ideas about what is funny can vary greatly from culture to culture. Jokes can include tricky wordplay and idiomatic expressions. Yet ‘getting’ humor can support success in academic, social and professional life. This small interactive workshop includes a presentation of several common types of humor and current examples of popular U.S. humor, followed by analysis and discussion of what makes the content funny. Please come prepared to participate actively in small group discussions.

Written by Stef Smith
After the classic play by Henrik Ibsen
Directed by Malcolm Tulip

Nora Helmer has been a feminist icon since her first appearance in 1879 as the lead character in Henrik Ibsen’s then-controversial A Doll’s House. 140 years later, Olivier Award-winning playwright Stef Smith has reshaped Nora’s singular struggle for financial and emotional independence into three characters, setting three Noras on parallel paths in different time periods. As their stories unfold, shifting cultural expectations exert their pressure on each Nora as what it means to be a feminist changes.

Nora: A Doll’s House received its premiere at Citizen’s Theatre in Glasgow in 2019 before moving to the Young Vic in early 2020.

Germine Awad's scholarship is characterized by three interrelated areas of inquiry: prejudice and discrimination, identity and acculturation, and more recently, body image among women of color. She has also written in the area of multicultural research methodology. The majority of her research is guided by the questions “What factors lead to discrimination against ethnic minorities?” and “What impacts perceptions of experienced discrimination?” The two populations that she has primarily focused on are Arab/Middle Eastern Americans and African Americans. Although overt discrimination towards ethnic minorities has decreased over the years, the practice of more covert, subtle forms of prejudice remains. The events of September 11, 2001, however, reintroduced more explicit forms of prejudice towards Arab/Middle Eastern Americans, and those perceived to be Muslim, complicating the dialogue on discrimination in the United States. Awad is concerned with how prejudicial attitudes and ideology impact attitudes towards ethnic minorities generally and within specific domains such as the workplace and higher education. In addition, she examines how racial/ethnic identity and acculturation impact ethnic minorities’ perception of discrimination. Most recently, she has expanded her identity and acculturation research to the study of body image concerns among women of color.

Translation and Migration: A Virtual Conversation with Karla Cornejo Villavicencio (October 1, 2021 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/87136 87136-21639082@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 1, 2021 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Comparative Literature

Join us from 3-4:30 pm via zoom on October 1, 2021 for a virtual conversation with Karla Cornejo Villavicencio about translation and migration in her debut book of creative non-fiction, The Undocumented Americans.

To kick off the tenth annual Translate-a-thon at the University of Michigan, Professor William Stroebel will sit down and talk with Villavicencio about the roles, methods, and uses of translation lurking behind and inside the pages of her book: translation between languages, translation between dialects and registers, translation between spoken and written media, translation between genres of translation like interpretation in legal or journalistic settings and literary translation, along with her current attempts to translate the book into Spanish.

Her book breaks many things. It breaks boundaries between genres, mixing the rhythms of rock and the cadences of hip hop and the political anger of punk and the slow contemplation of lyric poetry into the burning advocacy of its prose reportage (along with a little dose of magical realism to boot). The book also breaks the mold of representation traditionally deployed by advocates and allies, who elevate the gifted DREAMers of DACA into poster children above a faceless, nameless mass of day-laborers, cleaners, construction workers, factory hands, deliverymen, dish washers and dog walkers.

These are the ones who take center stage in her book, and tell their stories as beautifully imperfect, hardworking, weird, and “just people,” sorting through the trauma of an oppressive system built and sustained by their exploitation and terrorization and invisibility. Villavicencio breaks through this invisibility and the taboos of representation and in doing so she calls upon its readers to break the system: “it’s time to fuck some shit up.” But amidst the great praise that this finalist for the National Book Award has won, very little has been said about another thing that her avant-gardism breaks: conventions of translation.

This event is co-sponsored by the Department of Comparative Literature and the Language Resource Center at the University of Michigan, with support from the 2021-22 Mellon Sawyer Seminar Series on Sites of Translation in the Multilingual Midwest.

We invite community members of all ages and languages to participate in the annual Translate-a-Thon at the University of Michigan on October 1-2, 2021.

A Translate-a-Thon is a short, intense, community-driven translation marathon, where volunteers interested in translation come together to translate materials for the benefit of our local, national, and international community.

Coordinated by the Language Resource Center and co-sponsored by the Department of Comparative Literature, our Translate-a-thon also promotes a sense of community among translators. We welcome current students and alums, faculty and staff, teachers and students from local high schools, prospective transfer students, professional translators and other interested parties.

This year we are celebrating ten years of the Translate-a-Thon, with a special theme on translation and migration. We kick off the weekend at 3pm on October 1 with a Virtual Conversation with Karla Cornejo Villavicencio, author of The Undocumented Americans. We will highlight translation projects for Freedom House Detroit, to support their mission of outreach to asylum seekers.

A range of other community translation projects will also be available to work on over the weekend, remotely or in person. Check out our Translation Gallery with more information for volunteers to translate work on projects in many languages!

We also welcome colleagues from other colleges and universities who would like to observe our activities in order to learn about organizing similar events at their own institutions. To follow up, we will host a workshop on “How to Run a Translate-a-Thon” (for further details contact complit.info@umich.edu).

Umi's Archive: A Culmination of Love w/Dr. Su'a Abdul Khabeer (October 2, 2021 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/87671 87671-21644965@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, October 2, 2021 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Arab and Muslim American Studies (AMAS)

Curated by Dr. Su’ad Abdul Khabeer, Umi’s Archive is truly an act of love. Drawing on the remarkable life of her mother, Amina Amatul Haqq, Dr. Su’ad hasn’t just given us an insight into one person’s experience of being Black and Muslim, but has given us access to the vibrant, transformational, and radical contours of Islam as shaped, nurtured and loved by African-American Muslims and the communities that surrounded them. “Umi,” she writes, “was a creative and loving person and Umi's Archive is also a dream space and a labor of love - love for Umi, of course, and love for what she loved: her peoples, knowledge, justice, and liberation.”

As the online exhibition draws to a close, Listening While Muslim joins Dr. Su’ad Abdul Khabeer to celebrate by listening to the music which was the soundtrack of Umi’s life and the communities to which she dedicated her life. On the anniversary of Umi’s return home (may God grant her joy everlasting), Dr. Su’ad will guide us to listen as Umi did – and be inspired. As Dr. Su’ad says, “I offer Umi's Archive as a space where we can imagine those things are possible.” Join us as we listen and imagine.

This event is co-sponsored by the Arab and Muslim American Studies program.

After the classic play by Henrik Ibsen
Directed by Malcolm Tulip

Nora Helmer has been a feminist icon since her first appearance in 1879 as the lead character in Henrik Ibsen’s then-controversial A Doll’s House. 140 years later, Olivier Award-winning playwright Stef Smith has reshaped Nora’s singular struggle for financial and emotional independence into three characters, setting three Noras on parallel paths in different time periods. As their stories unfold, shifting cultural expectations exert their pressure on each Nora as what it means to be a feminist changes.

Nora: A Doll’s House received its premiere at Citizen’s Theatre in Glasgow in 2019 before moving to the Young Vic in early 2020.

Directed by MiMi Scardulla
Music Direction by Jason DeBord

The setting is the roaring 1920s. Lovers Queenie and Burrs decide to throw the party-to-end-all-parties in their Manhattan apartment. After the arrival of a slew of colorful guests living life on the edge, Queenie's wandering eye lands on a striking man named Mr. Black. As the decadence is reaching a climax, so is Burrs' jealousy, which erupts and sends him into a violent rage. Gun in hand and inhibitions abandoned, Burrs turns on Queenie and Black. The gun gets fired, but who's been shot?

A steamy prohibition tale, steamrolling and roaring its way across the stage, The Wild Party was an Off-Broadway gem that garnered an array of industry accolades, including Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Obie awards. Based on Joseph Moncure March's 1928 narrative poem of the same name, this darkly brilliant show features one of the most exciting, pulse-racing scores ever written, courtesy of SMTD alumnus Andrew Lippa (The Addams Family, Big Fish).

Written by Stef Smith
After the classic play by Henrik Ibsen
Directed by Malcolm Tulip

Nora Helmer has been a feminist icon since her first appearance in 1879 as the lead character in Henrik Ibsen’s then-controversial A Doll’s House. 140 years later, Olivier Award-winning playwright Stef Smith has reshaped Nora’s singular struggle for financial and emotional independence into three characters, setting three Noras on parallel paths in different time periods. As their stories unfold, shifting cultural expectations exert their pressure on each Nora as what it means to be a feminist changes.

Nora: A Doll’s House received its premiere at Citizen’s Theatre in Glasgow in 2019 before moving to the Young Vic in early 2020.

CREES Noon Lecture. Does Culture Matter? Complexity, Creativity, and Social Change in the Kyrgyz Republic (October 13, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86586 86586-21635101@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 13, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

Although culture is one of American anthropology’s signature analytical concepts, interest in the culture concept has waned in recent decades. In this talk, Professor Borbieva will discuss this phenomenon and its impact on the development projects she observed in Central Asia. Drawing on four years she worked in Kyrgyzstan as a development professional and ethnographer, she argues that the lack of cultural anthropologists’ influence on the topic of culture has, at least in the development sector, empowered simplistic and ethnocentric (and familiar) discourses about diversity and social change. To effectively counteract these discourses, however, cultural anthropologists must update their understanding of culture. This can be done by incorporating insights from the latest research in biological anthropology and systems theory. If today’s popular usage of culture justifies one-size-fits-all visions of human well-being, a reinvigorated understanding of culture will be able to inform more constructive development interventions in Central Asia and beyond.

Noor O’Neill Borbieva is professor of anthropology at Purdue University Fort Wayne. Her research on gender, religious change, and the development sector in the former Soviet Union has been published in numerous journals, including *Slavic Review*, *Central Asian Survey*, and *Anthropological Quarterly*. Her book, *Visions of Development in Central Asia: Revitalizing the Culture Concept*, was published by Lexington Books in 2019.

This is an in-person event for U-M students, faculty, and staff only. You may participate remotely by registering at: http://myumi.ch/r8Mr8

The Love, Lure, and Lore of the Clothesline (October 14, 2021 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/85560 85560-21626850@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 14, 2021 1:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Remember the days long ago when everyone hung their laundry out on the line to dry -- when folks went "online" without the internet? Instructor Anne Lawrence’s slide presentation will show why she (and so many others) love their clotheslines, will explain the lure of the line, and the lore that grew up around it.

There will be washday history, along with sociological issues, the role of feminism, industrialization, culture, and ecology involved. You may consider the clothesline in ways never before appreciated! The sharing of stories and memories will be encouraged. Let's hang out together -- Anne won't leave you hanging.

Anne has been a Clothesline Historian and Hobbyist for the past 40 years, collecting anything she can find that relates to laundry blowing in the wind on clotheslines, and since retiring, sharing her passion with those who remember.

Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed prior to the first session.

The Feeling of Being Watched: A Film Screening Feat. Director, Assia Boundaoui (October 14, 2021 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/87990 87990-21648233@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 14, 2021 5:00pm
Location: Haven Hall
Organized By: Arab and Muslim American Studies (AMAS)

Join Arab and Muslim American Studies as we welcome Assia Boundaoui for a screening of her film, The Feeling of Being Watched on October 14th, 2021 @ 5:00pm in 3512 Haven Hall.

In the Arab-American neighborhood outside of Chicago where director Assia Boundaoui grew up, most of her neighbors think they have been under surveillance for over a decade. While investigating their experiences, Assia uncovers tens of thousands of pages of FBI documents that prove her hometown was the subject of one of the largest counterterrorism investigations ever conducted in the U.S. before 9/11, code-named “Operation Vulgar Betrayal.” With unprecedented access, The Feeling of Being Watched weaves the personal and the political as it follows the filmmaker’s examination of why her community fell under blanket government surveillance. Assia struggles to disrupt the government secrecy shrouding what happened and takes the FBI to federal court to compel them to make the records they collected about her community public. In the process, she confronts long-hidden truths about the FBI’s relationship to her community. The Feeling of Being Watched follows Assia as she pieces together this secret FBI operation, while grappling with the effects of a lifetime of surveillance on herself and her family.

The Wild Party (October 14, 2021 7:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86177 86177-21631869@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 14, 2021 7:30pm
Location: Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Department of Musical Theatre

Book, Music, & Lyrics by Andrew Lippa (BM ‵87, music education and voice)
Directed by MiMi Scardulla
Music Direction by Jason DeBord

The setting is the roaring 1920s. Lovers Queenie and Burrs decide to throw the party-to-end-all-parties in their Manhattan apartment. After the arrival of a slew of colorful guests living life on the edge, Queenie's wandering eye lands on a striking man named Mr. Black. As the decadence is reaching a climax, so is Burrs' jealousy, which erupts and sends him into a violent rage. Gun in hand and inhibitions abandoned, Burrs turns on Queenie and Black. The gun gets fired, but who's been shot?

A steamy prohibition tale, steamrolling and roaring its way across the stage, The Wild Party was an Off-Broadway gem that garnered an array of industry accolades, including Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Obie awards. Based on Joseph Moncure March's 1928 narrative poem of the same name, this darkly brilliant show features one of the most exciting, pulse-racing scores ever written, courtesy of SMTD alumnus Andrew Lippa (The Addams Family, Big Fish).

The setting is the roaring 1920s. Lovers Queenie and Burrs decide to throw the party-to-end-all-parties in their Manhattan apartment. After the arrival of a slew of colorful guests living life on the edge, Queenie's wandering eye lands on a striking man named Mr. Black. As the decadence is reaching a climax, so is Burrs' jealousy, which erupts and sends him into a violent rage. Gun in hand and inhibitions abandoned, Burrs turns on Queenie and Black. The gun gets fired, but who's been shot?

A steamy prohibition tale, steamrolling and roaring its way across the stage, The Wild Party was an Off-Broadway gem that garnered an array of industry accolades, including Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Obie awards. Based on Joseph Moncure March's 1928 narrative poem of the same name, this darkly brilliant show features one of the most exciting, pulse-racing scores ever written, courtesy of SMTD alumnus Andrew Lippa (The Addams Family, Big Fish).

In the spring of 1846, Nancy Dorsey of Piqua, Ohio, sent a letter to her sister vividly describing the death of her infant daughter and her struggle to come to terms with her loss.

All are welcome to a panel discussion of this emotional letter, the universal experiences of death and grief, and healing after a loss.

Join in the conversation together with grief counselors, historians, and local community members. Peer counselors from GrieveWell, a local nonprofit that supports people in grief, will be on hand as we explore these topics and the emotions they raise.

Coordinated by the U-M William L. Clements Library with generous support from Frank & Judy Wilhelme. Presented in collaboration with the U-M Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies and GrieveWell of Ann Arbor.

This month’s Togetherness event will be held virtually, over Zoom. Registrants can choose to pick up a hot meal the day of the event - quantity is limited.

The Togetherness: QTBIPOC Gatherings are a collaboration between MESA and the Spectrum Center focusing on centering the experiences of Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, and Students of Color through sharing meals, discussions, and creating connections with people in the QTBIPOC community at UM and in the surrounding areas.

This event’s host will be Dominique Canning. Dominique (she/they) is a 6th year Ph.D. candidate in Linguistics with a focus on sociolinguistics and phonetics. Dominique identifies as aromantic asexual and agender, and is frequently conscious of how she and others use language to navigate through various social spaces as queer people. She has previously researched the conversation around asexuality as a queer identity, as well as the use of language in the construction of Titus Andromedon's identity as a Black gay man in the Netflix show Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Her current research focuses on the use of language by queer Black people to construct and perform their identities as they move through the world.

Musicology Lecture: “Naming and Counting Whiteness:   Fred Astaire, Stephen Sondheim, and Race in the American Musical” - Dr. Todd Decker (October 22, 2021 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/87752 87752-21645625@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 22, 2021 5:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Todd Decker (Ph.D., University of Michigan, 2007) is the Paul Tietjens Professor of Music, American Culture Studies, and Film and Media Studies at Washington University in St. Louis.

Racial segregation pervades the American stage and screen musical from its origins to the present. And while the black-cast musical is usually named as such, the necessary complement on the other side of the color line—the white-cast musical—is typically granted the unmodified moniker “the musical.” (Eliding race in this way is, of course, a classic expression of whiteness.) This talk names the white-cast musical as such by identifying aesthetic, structural, and industrial forms of whiteness in the output of two major figures: Fred Astaire and Stephen Sondheim. Drawing on forthcoming work on both men, I use a variety of methods to identify and describe Astaire’s and Sondheim’s distinct and particular types of whiteness. Adding precision to this inquiry, I draw on digital humanities methods that quantify the extent to which whiteness dominates the history of the American musical.

The Size of Darkness aka The Light We Cannot See - VIM VIGOR DANCE
and an excerpt from the work to be performed by students at the Power Center in 2022.

VIM VIGOR, founded and directed by U-M Department of Dance associate professor Shannon Gillen, presents a work-in-progress showing of their latest research, THE SIZE OF DARKNESS.

As audiences and performers re-enter the intimacy of theater spaces, a place where our expectations and opinions are exposed to new and freshly realized experience, we are again cohabitating the unknown. THE SIZE OF DARKNESS dives headlong into states of unknowing, catapulting performers through wild physicality and heroic abandon. Audiences will ride with three performers on a journey of becoming, as the ephemeral nature of dance swallows the past and flows into the future. This work will be set to an original electronic score by Marshall Chadbourne, where sounds of lightness and darkness, density and nothingness, effort and release converge.

With daredevil physicality, VIM VIGOR communicates the complexity of human relationships through their signature dance-theater aesthetic, bodies will flare, emotions will flood, and the sharp urgency of our deepest feelings will rocket through space.

Concept, Direction: Shannon Gillen
Choreography: Shannon Gillen and Jason Cianciulli
Choreographic Collaborators: Kiley Dolaway, Logan Hernandez
Performance: Jason Cianciulli, Kiley Dolaway, Logan Hernandez

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Join us for a lively discussion of the book “Cassandra Speaks: When Women Tell the Stories, the Human Story Changes”, by Elizabeth Lesser. Part One explores the myths and stories that are in the DNA of our culture. Part Two looks at women and power and redefines what it means to be courageous, daring, and strong. And Part Three offers “A Toolbox for Inner Strength.”
Written in a fun and delightful way, Lesser points out many truths about how out of balance the United States is, and also believes in humanity's potential to rise to the challenges of our times. Women must be a big part of this. Instructors Bernadette Beach and Sigrid Herman will lead this Study Group.
This study group will meet on Mondays for six weeks beginning on October 25. Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed prior to the first session.

Organized By: Wolverine Support Network

Wolverine Support Network is currently accepting applications to become a peer support group leader for the Winter 2022 semester! Leading a WSN group is a great way to hone skills in communication, group management, and accountability while creating a space on campus for honest conversations about mental health.

Leaders facilitate a weekly group that is scheduled around their availability, attend weekly leader training meetings from 6:00-7:15 PM ET on Mondays, attend community-building events, and help with marketing efforts on campus. The overall time commitment is ~3 hours/week, and it is super rewarding. All students interested are encouraged to apply regardless of whether or not they have attended a WSN group. Applications are open to both undergraduate students and graduate students who will be enrolled at U-M in the winter.

The application can be found at bit.ly/W22-Leader-Application or on our website at umichwsn.org/leader-application. If you have any questions regarding the application process or the position itself, please contact the Director of Leader Development, Courtney Jones (courtj@umich.edu).

Organized By: Latina/o Studies

Latina/o Studies welcomes you for a conversation with Virginia Grise where she will discuss the developmental process of adapting Helena María Viramontes' novel Their Dogs Came with Them for the stage, a story about the destruction and displacement of a Mexican American community when six intersecting freeways are built right through the heart of the neighborhood. In 2018, Grise adapted and staged Their Dogs Came with Them at a medium security women’s prison in Goodyear, Arizona with a team of collaborators from both inside and outside the prison. Six months later, the play was staged site-specifically under the I-19 Freeway in Tucson, Arizona with a community cast of scholars, organizers and actors.

Virginia Grise is a recipient of the Yale Drama Award, Whiting Writers' Award, the Princess Grace Award in Theatre Directing, and the Playwrights’ Center’s Jerome Fellowship. Her published work includes Your Healing is Killing Me (Plays Inverse Press), blu (Yale University Press), The Panza Monologues co-written with Irma Mayorga (University of Texas Press) and an edited volume of Zapatista communiqués titled Conversations with Don Durito (Autonomedia Press).

In addition to plays, she has created a body of work that is interdisciplinary and includes multimedia performance, dance theater, performance installations, guerilla theater, site specific interventions, and community gatherings. Virginia has taught writing for performance at the university level, as a public school teacher, in community centers, women’s prisons, and in the juvenile correction system. She holds an MFA in Writing for Performance from the California Institute of the Arts and is the Mellon Foundation Playwright in Residence at Cara Mía Theatre in Dallas, Texas and a Matakyev Research Fellow at the Center for Imagination in the Borderlands at Arizona State University.

Native American Heritage Month: Opening Ceremony (November 3, 2021 7:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88486 88486-21654312@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 3, 2021 7:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Multi Ethnic Student Affairs - MESA

Join us for the opening ceremony kicking off Native American Heritage Month in partnership with the office of Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs. As we prepare for a month of engaging speakers and presentations surrounding the conversation of intersectional Native/Indigenous identities and important conversations regarding Native representation, we will be launching our first event by welcoming Dr. Adrienne Keene, prominent speaker and activist in the Native community.


Dr. Adrienne Keene (Cherokee Nation) is a Native scholar, writer, blogger, podcast host, and activist. She is passionate about reframing how the world sees contemporary Native cultures. She is the creator and author of Native Appropriations, a blog discussing cultural appropriation and stereotypes of Native peoples in fashion, film, music, and other forms of pop culture. She is the author of Notable Native People: 50 Indigenous Leaders, Dreamers, and Changemakers from Past and Present (October 2021 - Penguin Random House/Ten Speed Press). And she is co-host (with Matika Wilbur (Swinomish and Tulalip)) of the popular podcast, All My Relations, that explores what it means to be a Native person in contemporary America.

Through her writing and activism, Keene questions and problematizes the ways Indigenous peoples are represented, asking for celebrities, large corporations, and designers to consider the ways they incorporate "Native" elements into their work. She is very interested in the way Native peoples are using social and new media to challenge misrepresentations and present counter-narratives that showcase true Native cultures and identities.

The King is throwing a ball in Prince Charming’s honor, and all will be in attendance—except for Lucette, known as “Cinderella” to her stepmother & stepsisters—until Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother steps in. The fairy’s spell lasts only until midnight. That’s long enough for Cinderella and Prince Charming to meet and fall in love.

This witty French opera premiered in Paris at the Opéra-Comique on May 24, 1899. It is based on the classic fairy tale as told by Charles Perrault. This operatic version is closer to Perrault’s story than the version used in Rossini’s La Cenerentola. Its music is full of melodic charm with recognizable arias.

This production will be sung in French with projected English translations.

The advancement of science requires decommissioning old experiments and pursuing new experiments. But which new experiments? How should we decide? Professor Wells will show answering these questions necessarily goes well beyond scientific considerations and lays bare philosophical, economic, and political viewpoints. He will illustrate these principles in action for large-scale experiments such as particle colliders, nuclear research reactors, and missile defense tests.

Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

VENUE CORRECTION - This masterclass will be in the Earl V. Moore Hankinson Rehearsal Hall (2005 Baits Drive)

Praised by the Philadelphia Inquirer as having “a sound as clear and sure as it [is] luxurious,” Carol Jantsch has been principal tuba of The Philadelphia Orchestra since 2006. She won the position during her senior year at the University of Michigan, becoming the first female tuba player in a major symphony orchestra.

In addition to her duties in the Philadelphia Orchestra, Ms. Jantsch is a renowned tuba soloist. She gives solo recitals regularly, and has appeared as a concerto soloist with various ensembles, including the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Columbus Symphony, the St. Petersburg Symphony in Russia, the Henry Mancini Institute Orchestra, and the United States Marine Band. She has performed in Carnegie’s Zankel Hall with the Musical Olympus Festival, and has appeared on the radio on NPR’s series From the Top and Interlochen Public Radio’s Live From Studio A. In 2009 she was honored with a “Best of Philly” award from Philadelphia magazine. She has also won prizes in several international solo tuba competitions, and alumni awards from both Interlochen Arts Academy and the University of Michigan.

Ms. Jantsch is in increasing demand as a teacher worldwide, having given master classes in Europe, Asia, and North America. She enjoys working with young musicians, and has been a featured artist at various brass festivals in Finland, Germany, Canada, and the United States. She is on the faculty at the Yale University School of Music and Temple University’s Boyer College of Music.

Ms. Jantsch is an advocate for music education in her community. In 2018, she founded Tubas For Good, a 501(c)3 nonprofit that provides instruments for students in the Philadelphia School District. Ms. Jantsch coaches music students from the district both through Tubas For Good and through the Philadelphia Orchestra’s All-City program. Since 2017, she has hosted an annual Tuba/Euphonium PlayIN, a free community event where players of all ages and skill levels are invited to perform as a mass tuba ensemble on the Verizon Hall stage.

Ms. Jantsch enjoys interacting with audiences in a very different way than her orchestra role as a member of Tubular, a tuba cover band that performs at bars and events. Comprised of tubas, euphoniums, drums, and vocals, Tubular is committed to presenting pop and rock music in a fun and engaging way, while guilefully stretching people’s notions of the capabilities of low brass instruments. As the chief arranger of Tubular, Ms. Jantsch revels in the challenge of adapting music from ABBA to Zeppelin for this unique setting.

Raised in a musical family, Ms. Jantsch began piano lessons at age six and began studying euphonium at Interlochen Arts Camp at age nine. After switching to tuba, she attended the prestigious arts boarding high school Interlochen Arts Academy, graduating as salutatorian of her class. She continued her studies at the University of Michigan under the tutelage of Fritz Kaenzig. After winning her position with The Philadelphia Orchestra in February of 2006, she returned to Michigan to complete her Bachelor of Music degree, graduating with highest honors.

Ms. Jantsch can be heard on numerous Philadelphia Orchestra recordings, including the 2010 release of Ewald Quintets no. 1 and 3 with fellow Philadelphia Orchestra principal brass. She released her first solo recording, Cascades, in 2009. In 2013 she premiered Reflections on the Mississippi, a tuba concerto written for her and the Temple University Symphony Orchestra by Grammy Award-winning composer Michael Daugherty. She performed the concerto with the Philadelphia Orchestra in 2015, and recorded it with the Albany Symphony Orchestra and the University of Michigan Symphony Band.

Ms. Jantsch is a Yamaha Performing Artist. She plays a Yamaha YFB-822 F tuba, a YFB-826 “Yamayork” CC tuba, and a PT-6 CC tuba.

Corrective Care: Institutionalizing Children in the Territory of Hawaiʻi (November 10, 2021 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88677 88677-21656597@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 10, 2021 4:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies

This talk analyzes how social scientific knowledge structured practices of the institutionalization of Native Hawaiian children and other children of color in Territorial-era Hawaiʻi (1900-1959). Specifically, I look at the history of three connected institutions operated by the Territory of Hawaiʻi: the Waialeʻe Industrial School for Boys (opened in 1902), the Kawailoa Training School for Girls (opened in 1929), and the Waimano Home for the Feeble-Minded (opened in 1921). Social science provided the Territorial government language and “evidence” with which to argue that their practices of institutionalization were modern, progressive and humane, even when the official reports of those institutions suggested otherwise. I also look at how Native Hawaiians consistently attempted to continue their own forms of care despite the many ways that the Territorial government pathologized Native Hawaiian culture and families.

Maile Arvin is an assistant professor of History and Gender Studies at the University of Utah. She is a Native Hawaiian feminist scholar who works on issues of race, gender, science, and colonialism in Hawai'i and the broader Pacific.
