Desire and Evidence: Dancing in the Archive with Jill Johnston (March 6, 2018 12:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/49583 49583-11476290@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 6, 2018 12:30pm
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Who do you find in the archive—your subject, yourself, your desire, or all three? This talk takes an autoethnographic approach to researching dance critic and lesbian feminist activist Jill Johnston. Through close readings of Johnston’s writing about New York postmodern dance and coming out as a lesbian, Croft considers how bodies meet across time in archival research.

Ann Arbor Film Festival presents: Feelings Are Facts: The Life of Yvonne Rainer (March 7, 2018 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/49485 49485-11464938@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 7, 2018 5:30pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

This program is free and open to the public. Seating is first come, first served.

“The function of art is to shake us out of our complacency and comfort,” says Yvonne Rainer, whose avant-garde performances and films have agitated audiences for 50 years. Since co-founding New York’s influential Judson Dance Theater, Rainer’s boundary-crossing art has been labeled in many ways: feminist, conceptual, post-modern, political. 'Feelings Are Facts: The Life of Yvonne Rainer' (2015, Written and Directed by Jack Walsh, 82 min) examines the contradictions and creativity of this remarkable provocateur—still performing at age 80—and raises the question, what does it mean to be an avant-garde artist today?

Yvonne Rainer exploded onto the performance scene in the early 1960s, a protégé of John Cage and Merce Cunningham, boldly pursuing a minimalist aesthetic, using everyday, often random movements that confounded critics. At Judson, she collaborated with the rule-breaking artists of her generation: Robert Rauschenberg, Trisha Brown, Steve Paxton, Lucinda Childs, and Meredith Monk. With foundational works like “Trio A,” Rainer radically altered the vocabulary of modern dance forever.

In the 1970s, Rainer turned from performance to filmmaking, bringing both humorous storytelling and dense theory to seven independent features. As she investigated subjects like political power, terrorism, lesbian sexuality, and breast cancer, the labels again poured forth. Were her films “difficult” or “accessible?” Funny or frustrating? After 25 years of filmmaking and encouraged by dancers including Mikhail Baryshnikov, Rainer, in her 60s, returned to choreography once again to make courageous, unpredictable dances. 'Feelings Are Facts' presents Rainer from her revolutionary roots to her tireless current explorations, breaking rules and challenging audiences no matter what decade she finds herself in.

Following the film, University of Michigan professors will discuss their reflections on the film. Participants include moderator Peter Sparling, Rudolf Arnheim Distinguished Professor of Dance and Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Dance; with panelists Diane Kirkpatrick, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Art History Emerita; Jessica Fogel, Professor of Dance; and Holly Hughes, Professor of Art and Design and Theatre & Drama.

This special presentation is brought to you by The Ann Arbor Film Festival, University of Michigan Museum of Art, and University of Michigan Dance Department.

William Kentridge: Drawings for Projection (March 8, 2018 7:10pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/50531 50531-11793846@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 8, 2018 7:10pm
Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

The charcoal drawing animations of South African artist William Kentridge chronicle the exploits of Soho Eckstein, construction magnate, and Felix Teitelbaum, dreamy artist who only appears naked, two alter egos of Kentridge. The short films of Nine Drawings for Projection are a personal and political meditation on contradictions in South Africa, during Apartheid and after its legislative demise. This is a rare opportunity to view several short films from Kentridge's landmark series, which are normally only shown in museums.

This screening forms part of the interdisciplinary course Personal, Present and Immediate*: Making Performance on Socio-Political Questions, and is open to the public. A post-screening discussion will be moderated by Artist in Residence and Visiting Professor Eryn Rosenthal.

Note: These films include depictions of violence and nudity.

Please RSVP at the link below.

Public entrance off of East University, door closest to Willard

* “Personal, present and immediate”: From Murray v. Maryland (1935), one of the precedents to the Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education (1954).
Note: These films contain nudity and graphic images.

CWPS Faculty Lecture Series (March 13, 2018 6:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/48778 48778-11306109@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 13, 2018 6:30pm
Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Center for World Performance Studies

During the latter half of the 1980s, a popular dance craze known as "piliwu" 霹雳舞 swept urban communities across China. Incorporating two new styles of U.S. urban popular dance--New York-based b-boying/b-girling or "breaking" and California-based popping and locking-- piliwu was China's first localized movement of hip-hop culture, which reflected new circuits of intercultural exchange between China and the United States during the first decade of China's Reform Era. Analyzing the dance choreography recorded in a 1988 Chinese film, Rock Youth 摇滚青年 (dir. Tian Zhangzhuang), together with media reports and testimonials from members of China's piliwu generation, this talk reconstructs the history of the piliwu movement, arguing for the central influence of U.S. pop culture icon Michael Jackson, the growth of China's underground commercial dance (zou xue 走穴) economy, and the agency of dancers' bodies in transnational movements of media culture.

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 Center for World Performance Studies, at 734-936-2777, at least one week in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.

Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

This program is free and open to the public. Seating is first come, first served.

Augusta Read Thomas, one of today’s most acclaimed composers, joins U-M composer Roshanne Etezady for conversation about music, art, and the creative process. “Thomas' music… fairly explodes with an extroverted boldness of utterance audiences and musicians alike find challenging yet immediate” (Chicago Tribune).

SMTD students perform some of Thomas’ most intimate chamber works. This program is offered in conjunction with the UMMA exhibition 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection,' which celebrates the pioneering gallerist, Gertrude Kasle (1917–2016), who was a key figure in the formation of Detroit’s contemporary art community in the 1960s and 70s. Kasle awakened local communities to the kind of avant-garde art she experienced in New York City and advocated for regional artists that she felt likewise broke with tradition.

The SMTD@UMMA performance series is generously supported by the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund and the Greg Hodes and Heidi Hertel Hodes—Partners in the Arts Endowment Fund.

Lead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

Organized By: Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center (SAPAC)

The Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center's Survivor Empowerment & Ally Support (SEAS) Volunteer Program is now accepting submissions for the 13th annual rEVOLUTION: Making Art for Change art show!

We welcome all UM affiliated artists to submit their artworks to be displayed in our art show in rEVOLUTION: Making Art for Change. Art of any medium is welcome, including, but not limited to: painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, spoken word, and poetry. The themes of our show are gender, sexism, sexual violence, empowerment, and healing. The topic of sexual violence can include sexual assault, intimate partner violence, sexual and gender-based harassment, and stalking.

Healing is a process that works in different ways for different people. Creating and displaying art can prove very helpful as a way to promote healing. Artistic expression provides a medium to bring up and process emotions and experiences in a way that can be difficult to discuss otherwise.

Our goal with this event is to create and engage in a supportive community space for survivors where UM student allies and survivors will build empathy and an understanding of sexual violence and healing through the unique creative expression of survivor experiences and perspectives.

Please e-mail submissions to artrevolution@umich.edu and fill out this form (https://goo.gl/forms/CeVUxF7iRs9fQbPy1) by Monday March 19th! If your work is accepted, it will be displayed at the opening night of the art show the evening of April 6th. Opening night will be held from 6-9 PM in the East and West Conference Rooms on the fourth floor of Rackham Graduate School.

Yvonne Rainer, one of the founders of the Judson Dance Theater (1962), made a transition to filmmaking following a fifteen-year career as a choreographer/dancer (1960-1975). Her experimental feature-length films include Lives of Performers (1972), Privilege (1990), MURDER and murder (1996), and many others. Rainer returned to dance in 2000 via a commission from the Baryshnikov Dance Foundation (After Many a Summer Dies the Swan). Museum retrospectives of her work — including drawings, photos, films, notebooks, and memorabilia — have been presented at Kunsthaus Bregenz and Museum Ludwig, Cologne (2012); the Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles; Jeu de Paume, École des Beaux Artes, La Ferme du Buisson, Paris, and Raven Row, London (2014). Rainer’s published work includes the memoir Feelings Are Facts: A Life (MIT Press, 2006), Work: 1961-73 (1974), The Films of Y.R. (1989), A Woman Who…: Essays, Interviews, Scripts (1999), and Moving and Being Moved (2017). She is a recipient of two Guggenheim Fellowships, a MacArthur Fellowship, and a U.S.A. Fellowship.

Location: Center for the Education of Women
Organized By: CEW+

How can the body be a laboratory for examining dialogue, choice-making, roles and habits? In this interactive workshop, choreographer and King-Chavez-Parks Visiting Artist Eryn Rosenthal will share some of her research on the connections between a dance form called Contact Improvisation and the political writings of Steve Biko, Ada Colau, Paolo Freire, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, Judith Butler, and others. What can the body bring to larger discussions of dialogue-building, inclusion, resilience and empowerment?

Wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you can bend, move and stretch in. No experience necessary, and all bodies, abilities and backgrounds are actively welcome. This workshop includes talking, moving and listening.

Refreshments will be provided.

Choreographer and CEW Scholar Alum Eryn Rosenthal examines the democratic underpinnings of Contact Improvisation and the role of the body in transgressing previously legislated boundaries. She has worked with choreographers Sello Pesa, poet Elizabeth Alexander, and documentary theatre pioneer Anna Deavere Smith, among others. Eryn’s ongoing series The Doors Project investigates transitions–political, social, intimate–through site-based performance in different doorways around the world. Eryn holds a BA from Yale University and an MFA in Dance from U-M, where she also studied in the Ford School for Public Policy. She has performed and taught throughout the US, South Africa and Europe, and is currently teaching an interdisciplinary performance course at U-M's Residential College. She is delighted to be back at U-M as a King-Chávez-Parks Visiting Professor and Artist in Residence for Dialogue-Building, Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives. www.erynrosenthal.com

While the grand palaces of Central Java's traditional court cities have long functioned as centers for classical performing arts, the festive street tents under which urban dwellers gather for family and communal ceremonies foster ever-changing popular traditions of Javanese music and dance. Two highly renowned artist-scholars from the Indonesian Institute of the Arts lead the UM student gamelan ensemble in a concert that will highlight contrasts and continuities between court and popular gamelan music and Javanese dance styles. The concert will also feature the premiere performance of "There's also fog where I come from" by UM Composer-in-Residence for Gamelan Conner Singh VanderBeek.

Organized By: Confucius Institute at the University of Michigan

Free and Open to the Public
Registration is required. https://goo.gl/Hbn8Et

Tutu 《涂图》was choreographed for a pure physical dance work and developed from its unique dance language and principles of movement. It deconstructs the way the body moves, using “release” techniques and four-dimensional spatial recognition to continually explore and investigate how physical movement is influenced by time and space.

About Hou Ying (Choreographer)

Hou Ying is a pioneer of Chinese contemporary dance. Her Spirit of Night and Kiss and subsequent works earned international attention. In 2001, she came to the US supported by the Asian Cultural Fund, and in the following year, she joined the New York’s Shen Wei Dance Arts Dance Company, where she promptly became an influential dancer in the group. Winning critical acclaim, Hou Ying’s choreographic works have been performed in more than ten countries. Critics have described her work as “consisting of whimsical and lonely compositions that explore people’s inner spirit through bodily motion.”

About Hou Ying Dance Theater

Hou Ying Dance Theater was established in 2009. Its predecessor Horizon Dance Theater was founded by Hou Ying in 2006 in New York. After training and performing in New York, Hou Ying returned to China as Director of the 2008 Olympic Games show The Picture. After the Olympics, Horizon Dance Theater’s creative focus moved to Beijing, where it was officially renamed Hou Ying Dance Theater. Hou Ying Dance Theater gives unique art-styled works to audiences with uncompromising attitude. Its representative works include Night of the Spirit (1996)/ Kiss (1998)/ TuTu (2009)/ Interface (2011)/ Interface2 (2012)/ Infinity (2013)/ The Moment(2015), and so on.

CJS Thursday Lecture Series | Dancing Ground Zeroes in Japan and the United States: Eiko & Koma’s Transnational Choreographies of the Nuclear (April 5, 2018 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/47216 47216-10821992@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 5, 2018 11:30am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

Since their 1979 dance, Fission, the New York based, award-winning Japanese/American choreographers Eiko & Koma have made a series of dances that critically engage nuclear issues. Evoking the ground zeroes of Hiroshima and Nagasaki; Trinity, New Mexico; New York City; and most recently Fukushima, dances such as Land, Offering, Fragile, and Eiko’s solo project A Body in Places create complex transnational geographies between Japan and the U.S. and raise questions of mutual implication in the nuclear age. Contrary to the nuclear discourse bound to butoh that fixes the post-nuclear firmly in the past, Eiko & Koma’s engagement with the nuclear invites audiences to perceive the ongoing repercussions of nuclear disasters.

Rosemary Candelario, Assistant Professor of Dance at Texas Woman’s University, specializes in the Japanese avant-garde movement form, butoh. She is the author of Flowers Cracking Concrete: Eiko & Koma's Asian/American Choreographies (Wesleyan University Press 2016) and co-editor of the Routledge Companion to Butoh Performance (forthcoming 2018). She has studied, taught, and performed butoh across the United States and around the world.

Struck and Plucked: Adventures in Music of the Philippines (April 7, 2018 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/48935 48935-11331181@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, April 7, 2018 7:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: Center for Southeast Asian Studies

Two ensembles perform music of the Philippines:
Pakaraguian Kulintang Ensemble performs gong-chime music and dances from the southern Philippines, having been formed in 2003 by UCLA alumni with the purpose to represent and educate audiences on the musical and dance traditions of the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). This region includes the cultures of the Maguindanaon, Maranao, Tausug, Sama, and Yakan ethno-linguistic groups.

The Iskwelahang Pilipino Rondalla, formed in 1986 as part of a Filipino cultural school near Boston, is a string ensemble that has become known for incorporating dance and movement into their performances. While the group members change as children graduate from high school, alumni and parents continue to be very active with the rondalla, maintaining the ensemble as multigenerational and community-based. This concert's group is made up of alumni coming together from Canada, Michigan, and Massachusetts in a special reunion to share some of their music.

Making Performance on Socio-Political Questions, is a composition workshop-style course is a generative laboratory to make rigorous, experimental works that open reflection on socio-political issues. Our seminar involves: a study of other artists' work and ways they engage with wide-ranging political matter through performance, animation, sculpture and other media; an embodied exploration of compositional elements at different sites in the Residential College and U-M's campus; and creative assignments that employ various methods to interrogate sociopolitical material of your own choosing. We'll be examining the immediate, present, and personal relationship of the body to performance in a very expansive way, studying William Kentridge's stop-gap animation, Diego Rivera's Detroit Industry murals, and Maya Lin's Vietnam Memorial, for example, alongside more traditional understandings of performance in theater, dance and film. Questioning assumptions of performance, genre, audience and politics will form an important part of our work in this interdisciplinary class, as will a detailed examination of compositional elements common to multiple art forms. We will gain practice and experience with different approaches to making performance and different ways to deploy compositional tools, depending on your objectives. No previous experience in performance or socio-political action necessary, and all bodies, abilities, and backgrounds are actively welcome on this journey; experimentation, adaptation and play with formats and tools that may be new to you will be encouraged. The course will culminate in a public showing of original student work.

Sponsored in part through the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (LACS) and the EXCEL Lab of the School of Music, Theatre & Dance.

Location: Dance Building
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Choreographer, director, and educator Donald McKayle (1930-2018) received numerous honors and awards, including an Outer Critics Circle Award, a NAACP Image Award, and many others. In 2005, McKayle was honored at the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. and presented with a medal as a Master of African American Choreography. He was named by the Dance Heritage Coalition as "one of America’s Irreplaceable Dance Treasures: the first 100." This session will be led by professors of dance Robin Wilson and Bill DeYoung, both of whom had connections to McKayle's work in different stages of their careers. DeYoung will lead exercises and Wilson will teach repertory material from one of McKayle's dances.

https://vimeo.com/105438851

Each Modern Lab session features a different guest artist teaching a master class and sections from their repertory. This panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the students’ awareness of potential career possibilities. Each guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class. In the final 15 minutes, faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q & A with each artist, discussing their career; their recommendations for transitioning from student to professional, and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects.

This event is supported in part by the EXCEL Lab.

Organized By: Latina/o Studies

Sponsored by: LAMBDA THETA ALPHA LATIN SORORITY, INC., BETA OMICRON CHAPTER

Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a traditional holiday celebrated in Mexico that commemorates the lives of those who have passed. It involves family and friends gathering together to pray for and celebrate the lives of their friends and family members. Traditionally, entire communities gather together to celebrate and create “altares” dedicated to their loved ones. These altars have decorations such as colorful paper, marigolds, candy, and the favorite food or beverages of the person who the altar is dedicated to.

History of Lambda Theta Alpha
Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc. (LTA) was founded in December of 1975 at Kean University in Union, New Jersey as the first Latina sorority ever created to cater towards the needs of Latinas in higher education. As the Latino migration to the United States increased, so did the emergence of independent Latina women. With this growth, the need for support groups and outreach programs were at an all-time high; this was true for all women and especially for the low percentage of Latina women in higher education. The sorority’s focus is not only to support all women on a college campus but to integrate the organization into the social, political, and community service arena that other members of the Ann Arbor community are involved with. On January 23, 2000, eight Lovely Ladies promoted these values on the University of Michigan campus with the founding of Beta Omicron chapter. This allowed not only independent Latina women, but all Universal Women on campus to feel a sense of belonging and with that, achieve their highest potential. It would define a new role for the Universal woman—one with education, goals and vision in hopes of great success. Through educational and charitable activities, Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc. strives to accomplish these aspirations.

Each guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class. In the final 15 minutes, faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q & A with each artist, discussing their career; their recommendations for transitioning from student to professional, and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects.

Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

The phenomenon of Cuba’s ballet goes beyond the anomaly of a European, historically elitist dance form thriving in the communist state. Its provocative story lies in the first two decades of the 1959 Revolution when cultural production was linked to the moral and economic development of the new state. The state-funded Ballet Nacional de Cuba has supported the socialist ethos of the Revolution through boycotts, producing patriotic ballets, and initiating a Cuban style of ballet choreography and pedagogy taught throughout the island. As part of Andy’s current book project titled Bodies in Revolution, this talk is both a celebration and exploration of the capacities of performance both as tradition and intervention. Further incorporating his experiences as a researcher of theater in prisons in Brazil, Uruguay, and South Africa, Andy will reflect on his approaches to field-based research as well as the application of the arts in the classroom.

In Black Opera: History, Power, Engagement (published May 4, 2018), Naomi André draws on the experiences of performers and audiences to explore this music's resonance with today's listeners. Interacting with creators and performers, as well as with the works themselves, André reveals how black opera unearths suppressed truths. These truths provoke complex, if uncomfortable, reconsideration of racial, gender, sexual, and other oppressive ideologies. Opera, in turn, operates as a cultural and political force that employs an immense, transformative power to represent or even liberate.

In Dance Me a Song: Astaire, Balanchine, Kelly, and the American Film Musical (published June 27, 2018), Beth Genné traces Astaire's, Balanchine's, and Kelly's collaborations with composers and film-makers, crossing stylistic and class boundaries to develop a truly modern dance style and genres for the film musical. She contextualizes their work within the history of dance, music, and film and its roots in the diverse dance and music cultures of jazz age America's nation of immigrants. She demonstrates how concepts and visual-musical devices derived from dance-making would give entire films, both musical and non-musical, the rhythmic flow and feeling of dance.

Naomi André is Associate Professor in the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies, Women’s Studies, and the Associate Director for Faculty at the Residential College at the University of Michigan. Her earlier books, Voicing Gender: Castrati, Travesti, and the Second Woman in Early Nineteenth-Century Italian Opera (2006) and Blackness in Opera (2012, co-edited collection) focus on opera from the nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries and explore constructions of gender, race and identity.

Beth Genné is Professor of Dance History and Art History in the Dance Department and the Arts and Ideas concentration of the Residential College. She has written numerous book chapters on British ballet and dance in film (including Gene Kelly and Vincente Minnelli) and articles in such journals as Dance Research, Dance Chronicle, and Art Journal. Her first book, The Making of a Choreographer, was on the early training and choreographic development of Ninette de Valois, founder of the Royal Ballet.

Dance Modern Lab Master Class Series: Patty Solórzano & Efrén Cruz (November 30, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/52511 52511-12842456@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 30, 2018 12:00pm

Patricia Lorena Solórzano is a NYC-based dance artist originally from Michoacán, México. Her work is guided by improvisation, environmental psychology, walking, identity/memory, and connection to place; all enriched through drawing, film, and poetry. She received her BFA from Texas Christian University and MFA from the University of Michigan.

Efrén Cruz is an engineer doing research in artificial intelligence and its relationship to intelligent systems. Cruz’s recent work focuses on how automating decision-making in human communities reproduces previous biases of society, and how to enforce the creation and implementation of fair algorithms. Cruz’s research on systems that exhibit intelligence and information diffusion can be translated to a dance and improvisation setting, in which each dancer is an agent acting according to local rules and limited knowledge, and from where a bigger pattern emerges. Cruz started, together with Solórzano, the “Imprudent Cartography of Thought” project, in which borders are analyzed in terms of their abstract definition and corporeal/choreographic representation. Hence, economic inequalities, geopolitical boundaries, cultural biases, and psychological separation are brought together under topological terms, and analyzed according to the maps (ideological, epistemological, etc.) built on top of these landscapes. Cruz obtained a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan in 2017.


Each Modern Lab session features a different guest artist teaching a master class and sections from their repertory. This panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the students’ awareness of potential career possibilities. Each guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class.

The lap, worn around the waist, is the uniform of the African dancer. At its simplest it is a rectangular piece of cloth, at its most elegant it is a beautiful skirt made of different colors, textures, and patterns. Whine, Werk, and Roll: the Art of the Lapa celebrates this utilitarian object of beauty and the craftsmanship of the men and women who sew their seams.
