Happening @ Michigan https://events.umich.edu/list/rss RSS Feed for Happening @ Michigan Events at the University of Michigan. Cleopatra Boy (January 20, 2020 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70339 70339-17584114@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 20, 2020 2:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

A Host of People is a Detroit-based ensemble theater company creating original work that celebrates complexity, imagination, and the synthesis of seemingly disparate elements—at once epic and intimate, political and personal, poetic and approachable. AHOP exists to create aesthetically rigorous, intellectually challenging theatre that is also warm, welcoming, and inspiring to people from all walks of life. All of our programming moves the company in this direction. We choose our subject matter and themes very carefully with an eye to stories, topics, and aesthetic approaches that will be equally thrilling to the most adventurous theatre fans as well as those with less exposure to the form.

About Cleopatra Boy:

Cleopatra Boy brings to light how women (and other non-straight/white/male) leaders’ histories are re-written, maligned, or erased. The iconic Egyptian pharaoh’s historic, mythic, and fictional representations across time inspired our ensemble to create a performance that speaks to the present moment. A theatrical thought experiment that is part pageant, part courtroom drama; our audience will shape-shift from spectators, to community members, to witnesses as we collectively address the injustice of losing control of our own narratives in order to rethink and remake history.

Henry Greenspan, Ph.D., taught in the Residential College of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts from 1987 to 2019, ultimately attaining a Lecturer IV title. Dr. Greenspan received his A.B. (1970) and M.Ed. (1973) from Harvard University and his Ph.D. (1985) from Brandeis University. He came to the University of Michigan as a Junior Fellow of the Michigan Society of Fellows (1977-80). He worked as a Senior Counselor at Counseling Services (now CAPS) from 1983 to 1988 and joined the faculty of the Residential College in 1987. Within the RC, Dr. Greenspan has been an Academic Advisor, Chair of the First-year Seminar and Social Theory and Practice programs, and a revered teacher.

Dr. Greenspan has been interviewing, writing about, and teaching about Holocaust survivors since the 1970s—now longer than anyone in the world. Both editions of his book—On Listening to Holocaust Survivors: Recounting and Life History (1998) and the expanded On Listening to Holocaust Survivors: Beyond Testimony (2010)--are considered seminal texts in oral history and Holocaust studies. Along with numerous chapters and journal articles on survivors, Dr. Greenspan wrote the chapter on survivor testimony for the Oxford Handbook of Holocaust Studies (2010). He has worked closely with the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum since it opened in 1993. He was the museum’s sixth annual Weinmann Lecturer (2000) and co-led the annual Hess seminar for Professors of Holocaust Courses (2011). His interview methodology has been adopted by large oral history projects with genocide survivors—especially in Rwanda and Cambodia. He was the Fulbright Visiting Research Chair at the Centre of Oral History and Digital Storytelling at Concordia University in Montreal (2012). Dr. Greenspan continues to mentor, consult, and present his research internationally--most recently, in Jerusalem (2016), Berlin (2016), New Delhi (2018), London (2018), Toronto (2018), and Montreal (2019).

Dr. Greenspan is also a playwright whose “Remnants” was originally produced at WUOM-FM and distributed to NPR stations in 1991. “Remnants” became a stage play that has been performed at more 300 venues worldwide.

This event brings together Michigan Supreme Court Chief Justice Bridget McCormack, legal scholar and practitioner Len Niehoff, and acclaimed actor John de Lancie to explore the work of the courts and the law; how the human impulse for narrative performance and drama informs the inner workings of the courtroom; and how the courtroom is represented on stage and screen.

Chief Justice Bridget McCormack joined the Michigan Supreme Court in January 2013, and became chief justice in January 2019. As the chief justice, McCormack has promoted statewide initiatives devoted to improving the courts’ service to the public, and in particular delivering on a promise that courts are independent, accessible, engaged with their communities, and efficient. Len Niehoff is a nationally prominent law practitioner, professor, and scholar in three fields: media law and the First Amendment; higher education law; and trial and appellate litigation. Niehoff is working on a book about the Salem witch trials. John de Lancie is best known for his role as “Q” on Star Trek: The Next Generation, however, his credits are numerous and include The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, The Fisher King, Breaking Bad, and The West Wing.  He was recently in a national tour of the “Scopes Monkey Trial” with Ed Asner where he played Clarence Darrow, and is the first recipient of the Clarence Darrow Award. De Lancie is currently at work on a play about the 2005 Kitzmiller vs. Dover School District trial.

Presented in partnership with University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA). This event heralds Witness Lab, a project by Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan. This courtroom installation is activated from February 15 through May 17, 2020, in UMMA’s Stenn Gallery.

Organized By: Michigan Malaysian Students' Association (MiMSA)

For the past 10 years, the Michigan Malaysian Students' Association (MiMSA) has come together to prepare for one special night every year: the Malaysian Cultural Night.
Free for all, people of all ages are welcome to spend their evening with a musical that delves into Malaysian art, culture and racial dynamics. Guests are also invited for a free dinner with some good Malaysian company after the show. This year, we present Kita.

Kita (Us)

Malaysian Cultural Night 2020 will follow the story of 4 Malaysian students who transferred to the University of Michigan, each with their unique background stories. The light hearted play will showcase unity among ethnically diverse people, and most importantly, the significance of true friendship. The characters will embody individuals that struggle with family expectations, finding their identities away from home, making friends all whilst adapting to a new culture in a new country. This play is highly relatable to students who are studying abroad, and it aims to realize the experience as well as to educate the non-Malaysian audience on our identity. MCN 2020 will also showcase a variety of traditional dances from different ethnic groups in Malaysia.

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

Courtney McClellan is an artist and writer from Greensboro, N.C., and the current Roman Witt Artist in Residence at the Stamps School of Art & Design. Her work addresses public ritual, institutional space, and objects that invite or demand speech. Her explorations result in sculpture, performance, installation, writing, and video. Her studio practice includes experimenting with materials, but also reaches to fields like law, theater, and journalism. For the past five years she has studied legal simulation.

At UMMA, McClellan will mount Witness Lab, an architectural courtroom installation and performance series. The facsimile courtroom located in the glassed-in Stenn Gallery will host legal simulations from participating groups including The Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Additionally, court transcript readings and trial advocacy workshops will be performed in the gallery. Stamps students will observe and document the courtroom activity through drawing, text, photography, and video. The accumulated documents will result in a publication. 

Witness Lab offers audiences a complex truth. By studying the courtroom as a space of performance, and the lawyers as agents of justice, participants and passersby consider the physical and social architecture of the law.

 

Witness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Stamps School of Art & Design, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

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.

*This show was originally announced with the working title Being Alive.

Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

By Frederico García Lorca
Translated by Jo Clifford
Directed by Malcolm Tulip

Written by Frederico García Lorca, considered to be Spain’s greatest poet of the twentieth century, Yerma is the tragic story of a woman living in rural Spain who is immersed in the constant pressure to have children. Her husband of two years, Juan, whom she married to please her father and not for love, has been unable to give her the child she desires. Tormented, Yerma seeks advice from an older woman in the town who tells her of a pilgrimage many barren young women take to help them get pregnant. A provoking and heart-rending story, Yerma lays bare society’s expectations through one woman’s struggles between honor and conformity, passion, and duty.

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

Witches! Prophecies! Murder! Madness! But also a deeper look at this tragedy from the perspective of our time. Participants will first read and discuss Shakespeare’s play. Then we will watch and critique several interpretations, ranging from feudal Japan (Kurosawa’s Throne of Blood) to our modern day (Patrick Stewart’s 2007 London performance). We will discuss Acts One and Two at our first session. Text: any edition is acceptable. Marilyn Scott has led several OLLI study groups and is a devoted theater-goer. The Study Group for those 50 and over is held Fridays February 21 through March 27.

Sonnets, Soliloquies, and Soul (February 21, 2020 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/63556 63556-15784107@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 21, 2020 8:00pm
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.

*This show was originally announced with the working title Being Alive.

By Frederico García Lorca
Translated by Jo Clifford
Directed by Malcolm Tulip

Written by Frederico García Lorca, considered to be Spain’s greatest poet of the twentieth century, Yerma is the tragic story of a woman living in rural Spain who is immersed in the constant pressure to have children. Her husband of two years, Juan, whom she married to please her father and not for love, has been unable to give her the child she desires. Tormented, Yerma seeks advice from an older woman in the town who tells her of a pilgrimage many barren young women take to help them get pregnant.

Witness Lab (February 27, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68851 68851-17165876@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 27, 2020 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Designed as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom, theater, classroom, laboratory, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials, court transcript readings, and trial advocacy workshops, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists, or court reporters, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing, text, photography, and video.

Witness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists, or court reporters, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing, text, photography, and video.

Paper Workshop: "Dressing up as a Queen to save the Crown: the Duchesse de Berry's Quadrille de Marie Stuart" (March 9, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/73381 73381-18210536@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 9, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Nineteenth Century Forum

Please join the Nineteenth Century Forum (NCF) for a paper workshop with Isabelle Marie Anne Gillet.

At the French Royal Court in 1829, the Duchesse de Berry hosted a themed costume ball, centered on Mary Stuart, and subsequently commissioned Eugène Lami to illustrate the event. Lami’s album, a lavish, hand-colored, extremely limited edition compilation of lithographs, known as the Quadrille de Marie Stuart, raises complex questions about the rhetorical powers of representation in mobilizing collective memory to affect individuals’ understanding of the present. This article argues that the album constructs how the ball should be remembered and that its production served to unify the memory of the event, for the guests, its exclusive recipients, as a visual aide-mémoire of their elaborate costumes and the tableaux-vivants they enacted.

What has eluded scholars is the level to which Berry, a known political schemer, oversaw the spectacle, the audience’s experience, and the production of its illustrated pendant. Following in the footsteps of recent historical scholarship on female figures and their contribution to crafting their public image, I consider how the lithographic album, as a tangible extension of Berry’s image, displays the dexterity with which she manipulated visual and cultural materials to serve her own political agenda. Previously undiscussed letters from the artist reveal Berry’s involvement as well as the rising urgency of the political moment. Masked balls at the court were common in Restoration France; yet the care and attention to the production of the album commemorating this one point to a larger motive, namely the Duchesse’s political aspirations for herself and her son, on the eve of the Revolution of 1830.

This class interaction with the Witness Lab project is open to the public for observation. Seating is limited. Visit our project in action. 

Designed as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom, theater, classroom, laboratory, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. Public programs, classes, and mock trial performances investigate who plays the role of the witness in our society, and help us to understand truth within our legal system.

In her investigation of America’s courts, McClellan’s practice engages K-12 and university classes across a spectrum of disciplines including law, drama, and anthropology, among others. 

Due to the nature of the project, the schedule for all Witness Lab events and simulations are subject to change without notice and changes may not always be reflected in online listings.

Witness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Obscured behind concrete and razor wire, the lives of the incarcerated remain hidden from public view, despite the many journalistic and cinematic portrayals which try to imagine or rationalize a nation's practices of imprisonment. Inside the walls, prisoners stage their own theatrical productions, articulating their identities and experiences for audiences carefully monitored by gatekeepers. Ashley Lucas’s forthcoming book Prison Theatre: Performance and Incarceration examines performances within prisons across the globe, offering a uniquely international account and exploration of prison theatre. By discussing a range of performance practices tied to incarceration, this book looks at the ways in which arts practitioners and imprisoned people use theatre as a means to build communities, attain professional skills, create social change, and maintain hope.

Witness Lab (March 17, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68851 68851-17165892@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 17, 2020 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Designed as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom, theater, classroom, laboratory, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials, court transcript readings, and trial advocacy workshops, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists, or court reporters, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing, text, photography, and video.

Witness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

Postponed - Why I Fight (March 26, 2020 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/71813 71813-17888049@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 26, 2020 7:00pm
Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

This event has been postponed. Details TBA.

Why I Fight, a theatrical adaptation of the 2019 Michigan Quarterly Review novelette by James Munro Leaf, dramatizes the perils of being defined by a mental illness and being caught in the psychiatric system. It probes the presumption of labels and the complex dynamics of power, dehumanization, and abuse in clinical settings. Creative director Gillian Eaton and actor Malcolm Tulip, faculty of the U-M School of Music, Theatre, and Dance, engage several of their students in this production at the Residential College’s Keene Theater (dates TBA).

Based on collaboration with the staff at the U-M Heinz C. Prechter Bipolar Research Program and other University colleagues, a series of panels on mental illness and the arts follow each theatrical performance. Panelists will expand on themes in Why I Fight and invite conversation with audience members. Individuals and family members who live with mental illness; U-M faculty conducting psycho-social, public health, and biomedical research; mental health practitioners and community advocates, including the arts community, will explore the roles of creativity and nature for healing. The panels will be moderated by Dr. Melvin McInnis, Director of the Prechter Program, and other U-M mental health experts. A catered reception and information tables for resources in the arts and mental wellness organizations accompany each performance. (Please see the full list of panelists for more information).

A series of associated events and workshops, free and open to the public, are scheduled for the weekend.

“Silent” explores the life of silent movie star Fatty Arbuckle and his not one, not two, but three murder trials.

POSTPONED - Zero Grasses (March 26, 2020 7:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/72834 72834-18079391@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 26, 2020 7:30pm
Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Center for World Performance Studies

Center for World Performance Studies hosts groundbreaking vocalist, composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and dancer Jen Shyu for an artist residency, including a performance of her new multilingual multimedia show Zero Grasses. In this mythical monodrama, Shyu effortlessly weaves together music, monologue and video projection, tracing the threads of her life to explore the painful terrain of expectation, ambition, longing and love. A performance of the piece will take place in the Video Studio at the James and Anne Duderstadt Center on Thursday, March 26 at 7:30pm, and is free and open to the public.

Zero Grasses was commissioned by John Zorn’s Stone Commissioning series and premiered in October 2019 at National Sawdust. It is sung in English, Taiwanese, Tetum of East Timor, Korean, Javanese, and Indonesian. The work features Shyu’s original music as well as some traditional music from these countries, with movement and installation art that carry the essence of these specific vocal and dance traditions. Shyu will accompany her voice with Taiwanese moon lute, gayageum, piano, violin, dance, and electronics.

A central theme of this residency will be Shyu’s work in as a teaching artist, including two community engagement workshop performances during the residency -- an intergenerational potluck, hosted in East Quad, and a workshop for high school students in Ypsilanti, MI. The potluck aims to engage faculty and staff and their families, alongside students from RC Music Programs. Shyu’s community engagement performances are designed around intercultural song exchange, and she is currently doing this work as part of a 50 state tour funded by the Doris Duke Performing Artist Fund and MAP Fund.

Jen Shyu ("Shyu" pronounced "Shoe" in English, Chinese name: 徐秋雁, Pinyin: Xúqiūyàn) is a groundbreaking, multilingual vocalist, composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist, dancer, 2019 Guggenheim Fellow, 2019 United States Artists Fellow, 2016 Doris Duke Artist, and was voted 2017 Downbeat Critics Poll Rising Star Female Vocalist. Born in Peoria, Illinois, to Taiwanese and East Timorese immigrant parents, Shyu is widely regarded for her virtuosic singing and riveting stage presence, carving out her own beyond-category space in the art world. She has performed with or sung the music of such musical innovators as Nicole Mitchell, Anthony Braxton, Wadada Leo Smith, Steve Coleman, Vijay Iyer, Bobby Previte, Chris Potter, Michael Formanek and David Binney. Shyu has performed her own music on prestigious world stages such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Rubin Museum of Art, Ojai Festival, Ringling International Arts Festival, Asia Society, Roulette, Blue Note, Bimhuis, Salihara Theater, National Gugak Center, National Theater of Korea and at festivals worldwide.

A Stanford University graduate in opera with classical violin and ballet training, Shyu had already won many piano competitions and performed the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto (3rd mvmt.) with the Peoria Symphony Orchestra by the age of 13. She speaks 10 languages and has studied traditional music and dance in Cuba, Taiwan, Brazil, China, South Korea, East Timor and Indonesia, conducting extensive research which culminated in her 2014 stage production Solo Rites: Seven Breaths, directed by renowned Indonesian filmmaker Garin Nugroho. Shyu has won commissions and support from NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship, Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, MAP Fund, US-Japan Creative Artists Fellowship from Japan-US Friendship Commission and National Endowment for the Arts, Chamber Music America’s New Jazz Works, Exploring the Metropolis, New Music USA, Jazz Gallery, and Roulette, as well as fellowships from the Fulbright Scholar Program, Asian Cultural Council, Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Korean Ministry of Sports, Culture, and Tourism.

Shyu has produced seven albums as a leader, including the first female-led and vocalist-led album Pi Recordings has released, Synastry (Pi 2011), with co-bandleader and bassist Mark Dresser. Her critically acclaimed Sounds and Cries of the World (Pi 2015) landed on many best-of-2015 lists, including those of The New York Times, The Nation, and NPR. Her latest album Song of Silver Geese (Pi 2017) is receiving rave reviews and was also included on The New York Times’ Best Albums of 2017.

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

Designed as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom, theater, classroom, laboratory, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials, court transcript readings, and trial advocacy workshops, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists, or court reporters, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing, text, photography, and video.

Witness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

This event has been postponed. Details TBA.

Why I Fight, a theatrical adaptation of the 2019 Michigan Quarterly Review novelette by James Munro Leaf, dramatizes the perils of being defined by a mental illness and being caught in the psychiatric system. It probes the presumption of labels and the complex dynamics of power, dehumanization, and abuse in clinical settings. Creative director Gillian Eaton and actor Malcolm Tulip, faculty of the U-M School of Music, Theatre, and Dance, engage several of their students in this production at the Residential College’s Keene Theater (dates TBA).

Based on collaboration with the staff at the U-M Heinz C. Prechter Bipolar Research Program and other University colleagues, a series of panels on mental illness and the arts follow each theatrical performance. Panelists will expand on themes in Why I Fight and invite conversation with audience members. Individuals and family members who live with mental illness; U-M faculty conducting psycho-social, public health, and biomedical research; mental health practitioners and community advocates, including the arts community, will explore the roles of creativity and nature for healing. The panels will be moderated by Dr. Melvin McInnis, Director of the Prechter Program, and other U-M mental health experts. A catered reception and information tables for resources in the arts and mental wellness organizations accompany each performance. (Please see the full list of panelists for more information).

A series of associated events and workshops, free and open to the public, are scheduled for the weekend.

Designed as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom, theater, classroom, laboratory, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials, court transcript readings, and trial advocacy workshops, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists, or court reporters, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing, text, photography, and video.

a play by Chay Yew
Directed by Matthew Ozawa

Using dance, drag, drama, and documentary elements, A Beautiful Country chronicles 150 years of Asian-American immigration history. Miss Visa Denied, a drag queen and performer, is the narrator who guides the audience through the turbulent history of Chinese, Filipino, and Japanese people coming to America. Heartfelt testimonials and the dramatization of some highly vibrant and egregious pieces of propaganda showcase the provocative events that have shaped this history. Addressing issues of race, gender, and appropriation, this play examines the fundamental questions surrounding the immigrant experience, including what it means to be an American.

Could you describe a person you saw briefly so that a police artist could draw a recognizable sketch? Could you pick that person out of a set of photos?  In this interactive session, Michigan Innocence Clinic Director Dave Moran, psychology student Aryn Margulis, and Ken Wyniemko, who was wrongfully convicted because of his resemblance to a police sketch, will engage the audience with identification experiments and present research about eyewitness identifications and how they lead to wrongful convictions.

Witness Lab (April 8, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68851 68851-17165911@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 8, 2020 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Designed as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom, theater, classroom, laboratory, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials, court transcript readings, and trial advocacy workshops, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists, or court reporters, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing, text, photography, and video.

Witness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

a play by Chay Yew
Directed by Matthew Ozawa

Using dance, drag, drama, and documentary elements, A Beautiful Country chronicles 150 years of Asian-American immigration history. Miss Visa Denied, a drag queen and performer, is the narrator who guides the audience through the turbulent history of Chinese, Filipino, and Japanese people coming to America. Heartfelt testimonials and the dramatization of some highly vibrant and egregious pieces of propaganda showcase the provocative events that have shaped this history. Addressing issues of race, gender, and appropriation, this play examines the fundamental questions surrounding the immigrant experience, including what it means to be an American.

Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists, or court reporters, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing, text, photography, and video.

Witness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

This class interaction with the Witness Lab project is open to the public for observation. Seating is limited. Visit our project in action. 

Designed as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom, theater, classroom, laboratory, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. Public programs, classes, and mock trial performances investigate who plays the role of the witness in our society, and help us to understand truth within our legal system.

In her investigation of America’s courts, McClellan’s practice engages K-12 and university classes across a spectrum of disciplines including law, drama, and anthropology, among others. 

Due to the nature of the project, the schedule for all Witness Lab events and simulations are subject to change without notice and changes may not always be reflected in online listings.

Witness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

Tap your feet to the Gershwins’ timeless tunes!

Music by George Gershwin
Lyrics by Ira Gershwin
Book by Peter Stone and Timothy S. Mayer
Directed and Choreographed by Linda Goodrich
Music Direction by Catherine A. Walker

My One and Only is a delightfully frothy romp, buoyed by a tuneful Gershwin score and exuberant dance numbers. Conceived as a new book for the Gershwins' most-loved songs, My One and Only features such standards as ‘’S Wonderful,” “Funny Face,” “I Can’t Be Bothered Now,” “Strike Up the Band,” “Nice Work If You Can Get It” and “Kickin’ the Clouds Away.” It's 1927 New York, and aviator Billy Buck Chandler is determined to be the first man to fly solo across the Atlantic. His plans are derailed when he meets Edyth Herbert, a British ingénue who previously swam the English Channel and now performs in an Aquacade under the thumb of the villainous Prince Nikki. Can the two navigate the obstacles in their path as they sing and dance their way toward love?

My One and Only opened on Broadway in 1983 starring Tommy Tune and Twiggy. It was a huge success, garnering nine Tony Award nominations and three wins for Best Actor, Best Featured Actor, and Best Choreography. The latter award, shared by star Tommy Tune and his co-choreographer Thommie Walsh, was especially well deserved: critic Frank Rich of The New York Times said that the show “levitates with some of the most inspired choreography Broadway has seen in several seasons.” With numerous show-stopping dance numbers set to timeless Gershwin tunes, My One and Only guarantees a toe-tapping good time!

Led by experienced teachers Marilyn Scott (Classics) and Gail Hubbard (French), this study group will see how one myth may be interpreted multiple ways.

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

Designed as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom, theater, classroom, laboratory, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials, court transcript readings, and trial advocacy workshops, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists, or court reporters, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing, text, photography, and video.

Witness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

Witness Lab (May 10, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/68851 68851-17165939@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, May 10, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Designed as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom, theater, classroom, laboratory, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials, court transcript readings, and trial advocacy workshops, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists, or court reporters, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing, text, photography, and video.
