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.

Exploring Some of Shakespeare’s Plays (October 6, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/85535 85535-21626825@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 6, 2021 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

This study session will be a mini survey of Shakespeare’s canon. We will use Titus Andronicus, Much Ado about Nothing and The Winter’s Tale to frame the discussion. These selections offer a view of his early, middle and late plays with an examination of the history, tragedy, comedy and romance categories. Both novices and scholars of Shakespeare will be able to enjoy his works more than before our discussions.

Our study group leader, Robert Lamphear, still teaches Shakespeare at Gulf Coast State College in Florida after retiring from colligate education in English and Humanities in Michigan.

This study group will meet on Wednesdays for four weeks beginning on October 6. 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: 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).

Shakespeare's “Tempest” Over Time (October 21, 2021 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/85540 85540-21626830@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 21, 2021 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

The first play to appear in Shakespeare's Folio, but thought to be one of his final plays written. "The Tempest" has become a touchstone in Shakespeare Studies for discussions about genre, authorship, feminism, and postcolonial theory. Yet, not long after its first performances, Shakespeare's play vanished from the stage, appearing only in adapted forms for the next 170 years.

Each meeting, we'll discuss an iteration of "The Tempest," beginning with Shakespeare's play up through Margaret Atwood's 2016 novel "Hag-Seed" in order to consider how approaches to the play have shifted over time.

Instructor Becky Hixon, is a PhD Candidate in English Language & Literature at the University of Michigan where she studies Shakespeare, adaptation, and gender and sexuality studies.

This study group will meet on Thursdays (excluding Thanksgiving) for eight weeks beginning on October 21. 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.

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

This course will provide a deep dive into William Shakespeare’s King Lear. Structurally, we will split a reading of the play over the five weeks we meet: each week we will begin by reading one act of the play and then spend the rest of our session in discussion (no outside reading is therefore required).

Active participation will be encouraged, but if you are more of a listener, then you can still join in on the discussion at the end without taking on an “acting” role. As we will discuss, there are significant textual variations in editions of the play; please purchase the Norton Critical Edition (edited by Grace Ioppolo, 2008).

Our study group instructor, Margo Kolenda-Mason, is a PhD Candidate in the English Language and Literature Department at UM, where she studies medieval and renaissance literature.

This study group will meet on Fridays for five weeks beginning on October 22. 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.

Improvisation & Encounter: Festivals (October 25, 2021 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/87348 87348-21641292@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 25, 2021 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for World Performance Studies

Center for World Performance Studies presents the first in a series of virtual roundtable discussion curated by Scholar-in-Residency Ajay Heble, exploring the theme of Improvisation & Encounter. Drawing its inspiration in part from The Fierce Urgency of Now: Improvisation, Rights, and the Ethics of Cocreation, a collaboratively-authored book by Daniel Fischlin, George Lipsitz, and Ajay Heble, this series of online roundtable conversations will explore Improvisation in the arts as a scene of encounter. What happens when artists come together to improvise, and what might this scene of encounter tell us about the staging and negotiation of difference: between artists, between artists and audiences, between the present moment and the varied histories and contexts that gave rise to it?

Moderated by Ajay Heble, and presented in association with Edgefest, the focus of the first panel is FESTIVALS, and brings together three leaders in the curatorial field. Vocalist Deanna Relyea was the founder of Kerrytown Concert House and is the current Artistic Director of Edgefest, Michigan’s long running avant-jazz festival. Dancer, poet and organizer of movement, music and causes Patricia Nicholson Parker has developed her work within the aesthetic of free jazz. Nicholson founded Arts For Art and the Vision Festival to promote and advocate for free jazz. Rainbow Robert is a relentless proponent of strange, beautiful, heavy music. She has been deeply involved with the jazz community in Canada for the past two decades through her work with Coastal Jazz, and as producer of the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, where she currently serves in the role of Managing Artistic Director.

Scholar-in-Residence Ajay Heble is Director of the International Institute for Critical Studies in Improvisation and Professor of English in the School of English and Theatre Studies at the University of Guelph. He is the author or editor of several books, and a founding co-editor of the journal Critical Studies in Improvisation/Études critiques en improvisation (www.criticalimprov.com ). He was the Project Director for Improvisation, Community, and Social Practice, a large-scale Major Collaborative Research Initiative, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. As the Founder and Artistic Director of the Guelph Jazz Festival, Heble has jolted the citizens of Guelph into an appreciation of improvised and avant-garde music and delighted aficionados from around the world with his innovative and daring programming.

If you require accommodation to participate in CWPS events, please contact the Center for World Performance Studies, at 734-936-2777 or cwps.information@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.

Location: Haven Hall
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.

Music Direction by Kirk Severtson

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 Ann Arbor Summer Festival and UMMA present 600 Highwaymen’s A THOUSAND WAYS, a new, multi-part work that offers enthralling social interactions that deliver us from isolation and toward togetherness.

A Thousand Ways is a three-part performance in which you are the actor and you are the audience. Your words, actions, gestures, silence, thoughts, and willingness are the tools. You need no training. You are the expert. 

Obie Award-winning theater makers, 600 HIGHWAYMEN, known for exhilarating performances that challenge the very definition of theater, have created a quietly radical response to this new world with A Thousand Ways. It is a chance at being heard, a brave moment to show up. 

This is an invitation. Will you attend?

Part One: A Phone Call – On a simple phone call, you and another audience member – nameless strangers to one another – follow a carefully crafted set of directives. Over the course of the journey, a portrait of each other emerges through fleeting moments of exposure and the simple sound of an unseen voice.

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

Department of Theatre & Drama

Written by Jaclyn Backhaus
Directed by Emily Lyon (BFA ‵13, directing)

In 1869, a team of 10 men led by naturalist John Wesley Powell set out on an expedition to catalogue the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon—the first white settlers to do so. In 2015, playwright Jaclyn Backhaus set out to satirize the expedition and its bold yet arrogant explorers in a comedic tour-de-force that Time Out New York called a “thrilling, gender-flipped slice of manifest destiny.”

With a cast made up entirely of women, Men on Boats pokes fun at what New York Magazine calls the explorers’ “cockiness and cluelessness” in their attempts to exert their control on an unfamiliar (and already populated) environment. “The tone is comic, but never cute or camp,” says the New York Times. “And ultimately, you feel, the play respects its bold if fallible pioneers, in all their natural bravery and fearfulness.”

The Ann Arbor Summer Festival and UMMA present 600 Highwaymen’s A THOUSAND WAYS, a new, multi-part work that offers enthralling social interactions that deliver us from isolation and toward togetherness.

A Thousand Ways is a three-part performance in which you are the actor and you are the audience. Your words, actions, gestures, silence, thoughts, and willingness are the tools. You need no training. You are the expert. 

Obie Award-winning theater makers, 600 HIGHWAYMEN, known for exhilarating performances that challenge the very definition of theater, have created a quietly radical response to this new world with A Thousand Ways. It is a chance at being heard, a brave moment to show up. 

This is an invitation. Will you attend?

Part One: A Phone Call – On a simple phone call, you and another audience member – nameless strangers to one another – follow a carefully crafted set of directives. Over the course of the journey, a portrait of each other emerges through fleeting moments of exposure and the simple sound of an unseen voice.

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

Department of Theatre & Drama

Written by Jaclyn Backhaus
Directed by Emily Lyon (BFA ‵13, directing)

In 1869, a team of 10 men led by naturalist John Wesley Powell set out on an expedition to catalogue the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon—the first white settlers to do so. In 2015, playwright Jaclyn Backhaus set out to satirize the expedition and its bold yet arrogant explorers in a comedic tour-de-force that Time Out New York called a “thrilling, gender-flipped slice of manifest destiny.”

With a cast made up entirely of women, Men on Boats pokes fun at what New York Magazine calls the explorers’ “cockiness and cluelessness” in their attempts to exert their control on an unfamiliar (and already populated) environment. “The tone is comic, but never cute or camp,” says the New York Times. “And ultimately, you feel, the play respects its bold if fallible pioneers, in all their natural bravery and fearfulness.”

Men On Boats (November 13, 2021 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86187 86187-21631974@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, November 13, 2021 8:00pm
Location: Walgreen Drama Center
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Department of Theatre & Drama

Written by Jaclyn Backhaus
Directed by Emily Lyon (BFA ‵13, directing)

In 1869, a team of 10 men led by naturalist John Wesley Powell set out on an expedition to catalogue the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon—the first white settlers to do so. In 2015, playwright Jaclyn Backhaus set out to satirize the expedition and its bold yet arrogant explorers in a comedic tour-de-force that Time Out New York called a “thrilling, gender-flipped slice of manifest destiny.”

With a cast made up entirely of women, Men on Boats pokes fun at what New York Magazine calls the explorers’ “cockiness and cluelessness” in their attempts to exert their control on an unfamiliar (and already populated) environment. “The tone is comic, but never cute or camp,” says the New York Times. “And ultimately, you feel, the play respects its bold if fallible pioneers, in all their natural bravery and fearfulness.”

The Ann Arbor Summer Festival and UMMA present 600 Highwaymen’s A THOUSAND WAYS, a new, multi-part work that offers enthralling social interactions that deliver us from isolation and toward togetherness.

A Thousand Ways is a three-part performance in which you are the actor and you are the audience. Your words, actions, gestures, silence, thoughts, and willingness are the tools. You need no training. You are the expert. 

Obie Award-winning theater makers, 600 HIGHWAYMEN, known for exhilarating performances that challenge the very definition of theater, have created a quietly radical response to this new world with A Thousand Ways. It is a chance at being heard, a brave moment to show up. 

This is an invitation. Will you attend?

Part One: A Phone Call – On a simple phone call, you and another audience member – nameless strangers to one another – follow a carefully crafted set of directives. Over the course of the journey, a portrait of each other emerges through fleeting moments of exposure and the simple sound of an unseen voice.

Organized By: Center for World Performance Studies

The Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments and Center for World Performance Studies present a talk by groundbreaking vocalist, composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and dancer Jen Shyu. For this talk, Shyu will discuss her previous ethnographic research and her use of non-western musical instruments in composing and performing, including the Japanese biwa and Taiwanese moon lute.

Jen Shyu ("Shyu" pronounced "Shoe" in English, Chinese name: 徐秋雁, Pinyin: Xúqiūyàn) is a 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: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Center for World Performance Studies

Free and open to the public.

*Composition, vocals, piano, sound design, Japanese biwa, Taiwanese moon lute, dance by Jen Shyu*
*Directed by Alexandru Mihail*

Space limited. Seating first come first served. Guests entering the Keene must provide proof of vaccination, complete a health questionnaire and wear a face cover - no exceptions.

Center for World Performance Studies will host 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 at East Quad Keene Theater on Thursday, November 18 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.

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.

Improvisation & Encounter: Pedagogy (November 22, 2021 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89037 89037-21660285@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, November 22, 2021 7:00pm
Location:
Organized By: Center for World Performance Studies

Free & Open to the public
Registration required: https://myumi.ch/lxO3Q

The second in a series of virtual roundtable discussion curated by Scholar-in-Residency Ajay Heble, exploring the theme of Improvisation & Encounter. Drawing its inspiration in part from *The Fierce Urgency of Now: Improvisation, Rights, and the Ethics of Cocreation*, a collaboratively-authored book by Daniel Fischlin, George Lipsitz, and Ajay Heble, this series of online roundtable conversations will explore Improvisation in the arts as a scene of encounter. Moderated by Heble, the focus of the second panel is PEDAGOGY, and brings together educators from diverse disciplines. This roundtable will explore how the teaching and learning of improvisational artistic practices might be understood as vital and publicly resonant sites of encounter that generate new forms of knowledge, new understandings of identity and community, and new imaginative possibilities. How, we want to ask, might the kinds of cultural and pedagogical institutions and communities that present and promote improvised arts (both within and outside of traditional classrooms) shape our understanding of public culture, of memory, of history?

Douglas R. Ewart, Professor Emeritus at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, immigrated from Jamaica to Chicago in 1963, where he studied music theory at VanderCook College of Music, electronic music at Governors State University, and composition at the School of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians. His life and his wide-ranging work have always been inextricably associated with Jamaican culture, history, politics, and the land itself. His extremely varied and highly interdisciplinary work encompasses music composition (including graphic and conceptual scores as well as conventionally notated works), painting and kinetic sound sculpture, and multi-instrumental performance. He has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Jerome Foundation, and others.

Ed Sarath is Professor of music in the Department of Jazz and Contemporary Improvisation at the University of Michigan and also director of the U-M Program in Creativity and Consciousness Studies. He founded and serves as president of the International Society for Improvised Music (www.isimprov.org). His most recent book is Black Music Matters: Jazz and the Transformation of Music Studies (Rowman and Littlefield, 2018), which along with his prior book Improvisation, Creativity, and Consciousness: Jazz as Integral Template for Music, Education, and Society (SUNY/Albany, 2013), are the first to apply to music principles of an emergent, consciousness-based worldview called Integral Theory.

Georgia Simms is an artist, educator and facilitator. Since 2005, she has taught Graham-based modern dance technique as well as movement improvisation in a variety of contexts, for youth and adults.These experiences in dance combined with her academic studies, in geography, governance and arts-based community engagement, inform her creation of learning experiences for students in the First Year Seminar Program at the University of Guelph. She also weaves movement into her group facilitation and program design for the local non-profit organization, Art Not Shame. Simms is currently an artist-in-residence with Guelph Dance for its 2020-2021 season.

Jesse Stewart is an award-winning composer, improviser, percussionist, visual artist, instrument builder, researcher, writer, educator, and community activist dedicated to reimagining the spaces between artistic disciplines. As a musician, he works primarily in the areas of jazz, new music, free improvisation, and electronic music. He has performed and/or recorded with musical luminaries from around the world including George Lewis, Roswell Rudd, Hamid Drake, Evan Parker, Bill Dixon, William Parker, Pauline Oliveros, David Mott, Malcolm Goldstein, Jandek, Pandit Anindo Chatterjee and many others, in addition to leading several groups and performing regularly as a soloist. A past recipient of the Terry Fox Humanitarian Award, he is dedicated to building and strengthening communities through arts education and outreach.

Scholar-in-Residence Ajay Heble is Director of the International Institute for Critical Studies in Improvisation and Professor of English in the School of English and Theatre Studies at the University of Guelph. He is the author or editor of several books, and a founding co-editor of the journal Critical Studies in Improvisation/Études critiques en improvisation (www.criticalimprov.com). He was the Project Director for Improvisation, Community, and Social Practice, a large-scale Major Collaborative Research Initiative, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. As the Founder and Artistic Director of the Guelph Jazz Festival, Heble has jolted the citizens of Guelph into an appreciation of improvised and avant-garde music and delighted aficionados from around the world with his innovative and daring programming.

Written by William Shakespeare
Directed by Vince Cardinal

There is much mischief to be had in Shakespeare's most popular comedy when lovers defy authority and flee the court, only to find themselves caught in a zany web of illusion, romance, and magic in the Athenian woods. Featuring fairies, love potions, mixed-up lovers, magic spells, and a pompous rustic sporting a donkey's head, A Midsummer Night's Dream promises to bring laughter and a healthy dose of enchantment.

Directed by Geoff Packard

Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Ayad Akhtar takes on the origin story of America’s financial crisis in this fast-paced thriller the Los Angeles Times called “Part Shakespearean history play, part ‘The Big Short.’”

It’s 1985, and prominent financier Robert Merkin is taking the world by storm with his willingness to take on higher-risk, higher-yield bonds—what he calls “junk bonds.” As he sets out to take over a massive steel conglomerate by using its own debts as an asset, Merkin sets off a financial civil war that threatens to change the world as we know it.

University of Michigan Center for World Performance Studies presents the final session in a series of virtual roundtable discussion curated by Scholar-in-Residency Ajay Heble, exploring the theme of Improvisation & Encounter. Drawing its inspiration in part from *The Fierce Urgency of Now: Improvisation, Rights, and the Ethics of Cocreation*, a collaboratively-authored book by Daniel Fischlin, George Lipsitz, and Ajay Heble, this series of online roundtable conversations will explore improvisation in the arts as a scene of encounter. What happens when artists come together to improvise, and what might this scene of encounter tell us about the staging and negotiation of difference: between artists, between artists and audiences, between the present moment and the varied histories and contexts that gave rise to it? Moderated by Ajay Heble, the focus of the final panel is “Intercultural Collaboration,” and brings together scholar-practitioners from diverse disciplines.

In an era when diverse peoples and communities of interest struggle to forge historically new forms of affiliation across cultural divides, the participatory and civic virtues of engagement, dialogue, respect, and community-building inculcated through improvisatory practices take on a particular urgency. Exploring the improvisational encounters enacted through intercultural artistic practices, the panel will discuss how (and to what extent) such encounters can function as a powerful bridge between artists from very different cultures. To what extent might these encounters offer testing grounds for understanding—and modeling--how people might best learn to get along in a globalized world? What can we learn about trust, relatedness, responsibility, and social obligation from intercultural improvisatory encounters in the arts?

Five-time Juno Award winner, Jane Bunnett has turned her bands and recordings into showcases for the finest musical talent from Canada, the US, and Cuba. An internationally acclaimed musician, Bunnett is known for her creative integrity, improvisational daring, and courageous artistry. Her exploration of Afro-Cuban melodies expresses the universality of music, and her ability to embrace and showcase the rhythms and culture of Cuba has been ground-breaking. She has toured the world bringing her own special sound to numerous jazz festivals, displaying her versatility as a flutist, saxophone player, and pianist.

Omi Osun Joni L. Jones’ work is committed to exploring strategies for promoting healthy communities through personal Joy. She is an artist/scholar/facilitator who employs Black Feminist aesthetics in her performance work, her pedagogy, and her consulting. She has performed at The New Black Fest (NYC), Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (San Francisco), and Links Hall (Chicago). Her scholarship has appeared in The Drama Review, Obsidian, and Theatre Journal as well as solo/black/woman and Blacktino Queer Performance. Her most recent book is *Theatrical Jazz: Performance*, *Àṣẹ*, and the *Power for the Present Moment* (Ohio State University Press). She is Professor Emerita from the African and African Diaspora Studies Department at the University of Texas at Austin.

George Lipsitz is Professor of Black Studies and Sociology at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Along with Daniel Fischlin and Ajay Heble he is co-author of *The Fierce Urgency of Now: Improvisation, Rights and the Ethics of Co-Creation*. Lipsitz has authored (among other books) *How Racism Takes Place*, *The Possessive Investment in Whiteness*, *Time Passages*, *Dangerous Crossroads*, *Footsteps in the Dark* and *Midnight at the Barrelhouse*.

Scholar-in-Residence Ajay Heble is Director of the International Institute for Critical Studies in Improvisation and Professor of English in the School of English and Theatre Studies at the University of Guelph. He is the author or editor of several books, and a founding co-editor of the journal Critical Studies in Improvisation/Études critiques en improvisation (www.criticalimprov.com). He was the Project Director for Improvisation, Community, and Social Practice, a large-scale Major Collaborative Research Initiative, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. As the Founder and Artistic Director of the Guelph Jazz Festival, Heble has jolted the citizens of Guelph into an appreciation of improvised and avant-garde music and delighted aficionados from around the world with his innovative and daring programming.

.

This pro­gram presents a rare com­ing together of six leg­endary Drag Queens from two noto­ri­ously fab­u­lous night­clubs in the gritty epi­cen­ters of Detroit and San Francisco’s Ten­der­loin district. 

Inspired by artist James Hosking’s project Beau­ti­ful by Night, on view at Insti­tute for the Human­i­ties Gallery, following three San Fran­cisco Drag Artists over the course of one night at Aunt Charlie’s, the last gay bar in the famed San Fran­cisco Ten­der­loin dis­trict, an area in the process of being com­pletely re-defined by gen­tri­fi­ca­tion and the dot-com takeover.

This series event brings the San Fran­cisco Aunt Charlie’s Queens together with Detroit’s own reign­ing Queens from Gigi’s Cabaret, home of the longest run­ning drag pageant in the United States. Appear­ing from Detroit are Maxi Chanel (House of Chanel), Nickki Stevens, and Lady T Tem­pest. Hail­ing from San Fran­cisco are Olivia Hart and Donna Per­sonna. The six artists come together to dis­cuss the his­tory of their lega­cies and art­form, the role of lin­eage and queer com­mu­nity build­ing, and how drag has changed the world through activism, glam­our, and cel­e­bra­tory inclusion.

The evening will be hosted by Ben John­son, cur­rently the Direc­tor of Per­form­ing Arts for the City of Los Ange­les Depart­ment of Cul­tural Affairs, whose posi­tion tasks him with devel­op­ing pro­grams of cul­tural exchange among other things. Pre­vi­ously he was the Direc­tor of Edu­ca­tion and Audi­ence Devel­op­ment at the Uni­ver­sity Musi­cal Soci­ety at the Uni­ver­sity of Michi­gan (1996−2008). While in Michi­gan, he was steeped in Detroit’s his­tory and lore, and it is through this lens which he cen­ters drag her­itage and his­tory as an impor­tant and unique cul­tural con­tri­bu­tion to the vital­ity of Michi­gan per­form­ing arts his­tory, align­ing it with the equally impor­tant and vital his­tory of Aunt Char­lies, the last remain­ing strong­hold of queer and trans-cen­tered cul­tural space in San Francisco’s Ten­der­loin district.

Co-pre­sented by the Uni­ver­sity of Michi­gan Insti­tute for the Human­i­ties, this pro­gram cel­e­brates the exhi­bi­tion open­ing of pho­tog­ra­pher and film­maker James Hosking’s mul­ti­me­dia project, Beau­ti­ful by Night, an exam­i­na­tion of class, labor, and iden­tity among aging drag per­form­ers in San Francisco’s Ten­der­loin neigh­bor­hood, fea­tur­ing the three San Fran­cisco Queens pre­sented here. 

James Hosk­ing sup­ports his sub­jects by shar­ing their sto­ries and hopes to work towards iron­clad non-dis­crim­i­na­tion laws pro­tect­ing employ­ment and hous­ing, and the more truth­ful rep­re­sen­ta­tion of this com­mu­nity in both news and entertainment.

Directly fol­low­ing the pro­gram, join us for an open­ing recep­tion at Insti­tute for the Human­i­ties Gallery and meet the artists.

This event is in-person at the Michigan Theater. Learn more about COVID-19 pro­to­cols for Penny Stamps Speaker Series events.

“Why I Fight, or Team Wristband” a short film adaptation of the 2019 Michigan Quarterly Review story by James Munro Leaf, dramatizes the perils of being defined by a mental illness and the complex and varied reactions of patients in the psychiatric system. It probes the presumption of labels and the complex dynamics of power. Directed, edited and adapted by Andy Kirshner and Gillian Eaton, the film features a diverse cast and crew of faculty and students from U-M School of Music, Theatre & Dance and U-M College of Literature, Science and the Arts, including Professor Malcolm Tulip.

Through collaboration with the U-M Heinz C. Prechter Bipolar Research Program and other university units, the film will premiere virtually, January 14th, 2022 at 7:00 p.m. A panel on mental illness and the arts will expand on themes in “Why I Fight, or Team Wristband” and invite conversation with audience members. The panel will include individuals who live with mental illness; U-M faculty experts in related fields; and practitioners in the arts. The discussion will also explore the role of creativity in healing and mental wellness. Dr. Melvin McInnis, Director of the Prechter Program, and other U-M mental health experts, will moderate the panel.

In one of the most compelling pieces of classic theatre, Sophocles tells the tale of Antigone, daughter of Oedipus and sister to Eteocles and Polyneices, former rulers of Thebes who have just battled to the death. In their absence, their uncle Creon has ascended the throne and declared it illegal to bury the rebel Polyneices. Antigone refuses to obey Creon’s order, setting off a tragic conflict of morality vs. law, cruelty vs. love, and man vs. woman. Guest Director Sam White (founder of Shakespeare in Detroit), who led the Theatre & Drama students in last year’s production of Romeo & Juliet, will return to helm this production. David Mulroy, Professor of Classics Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, faithfully reproduces the literal meaning of Sophocles’ words while also reflecting his verbal pyrotechnics in this translation from 2013. Using fluid iambic pentameters for the spoken passages and rhyming stanzas for the songs, it is true to the letter and the spirit of the great Greek original.

John A. Young, Senior Staff Development Officer at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), joins Genevieve Zubrzycki, professor of sociology at the University of Michigan and director of the Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia, in a discussion exploring the current crisis taking place in the corner of Europe where the fictional shtetl of Anatevka was set, as well as concurrent crises, showing the ongoing relevance of a key theme of *Fiddler on the Roof*, that of people forced from their home into desperate circumstances.

John A. Young (BA Russian/REES ‘86, JD ‘90) has devoted most of his career to refugee protection in Europe and the Middle East. Based mainly with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) since 1994, he also worked five years at the European Commission in pre-accession projects on law and justice, human rights, and minorities.

While in Brussels he prepared UNHCR's legal submissions for ECHR in Strasbourg, and the Court of Justice, and worked with the European Parliament and Commission on EU Asylum legislation. Presently he is the Head of the UNHCR Protection Learning Unit in Budapest. He has also served in Russia, Switzerland, Serbia, and Slovakia, with missions to Kenya, Uganda, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia.

Together we'll enjoy detective mystery films available to stream at home. We'll have a virtual meeting online followed by screening of the film at home, and a subsequent online discussion meeting. The Robert Altman films "The Player" (1992), and "Gosford Park" (2001) are planned.
Scheduled films are subject to change, as streaming service availability may change. Each film will have two online meeting sessions: a presentation meeting on a Friday, and a discussion meeting the following Tuesday. Watch the film at home between the two meetings. Access to a streaming service subscription (such as Amazon, YouTube, AppleTV, HBOMax, etc) is required. Some films may be available to rent.
George Ferrell leads this study group that meets Fridays & Tuesdays February 25, March 1, April 8 & 12.
Pre-registration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

A carnivalesque walk and transgressive vigil, the result of all the experiences that mark us and separate us in the course of our lives, creating emotional, spiritual, physical, and existential cracks. An intense search for an honest identity from the androgynous ambiguity that inhabits us. A performative procession from the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez, Museum of Art to the Ramón Figueroa Chapel Amphitheatre, transmitted live as part of the Coloquio Del Otro Lao: Perspectivas y Debates sobre lo Cuir (Perspectives and Debates on Queerness), followed by video projections and conversation in English and Spanish related to the FRACTURA exhibit at the Casa de los Contrafuertes in Old San Juan. Event curated and moderated by Lawrence La Fountain-Stokes.

ARTIST BIO:
Freddie Mercado Velázquez is a Puerto Rican visual and performance artist who focuses on the crossings between painting, sculpture, installation, and performance art. A graduate of the Escuela de Artes Plásticas y Diseño de Puerto Rico, he has been exploring drag and androgyny for over thirty years, creating fantastic characters, disconcerting dolls, and monstrous figures that expand our notions of trans-Caribbean identities. His exhibit FRACTURA was recently reviewed in ARTFORUM.

Toshi Reagon has been described as “a talented, versatile singer, songwriter and musician with a profound ear for sonic Americana—from folk to funk, from blues to rock” by critic/blogger Eva Yaa Asantewaa (InfiniteBody). “She masters each of these genres with vocal strategies that easily spiral and swoop from the expressively sinuous to the hard-charging, a combination of warmth and mischief.”

While her expansive career has landed her comfortably in residence at Carnegie Hall, the Paris Opera House and Madison Square Garden, you can just as easily find Toshi turning out a music festival, intimate venue or local club. Toshi finds home on any musical stage. Toshi has had the pleasure of working with Lenny Kravitz, Lizz Wright, Ani DiFranco, Carl Hancock Rux, Nona Hendryx, Pete Seeger, Chocolate Genius and many other amazing artists, including her favorite collaborator, her mom, Bernice Johnson Reagon.

Yaa Asantewaa writes, “Toshi knows the power of song to focus, unite and mobilize people. If you’ve been lucky enough to be in Toshi’s presence, you know you can’t walk away from her without feeling better about yourself as a human being. She aims for nothing less.”

Toshi has been the recipient of a NYFA award for Music Composition, The Black Lily Music and Film Festival Award for Outstanding Performance. She is a National Women’s History Month Honoree, and is the 2010 recipient of OutMusic’s Heritage Award.

About Alexis Pauline Gumbs:
Alexis Pauline Gumbs is a Queer Black Feminist Love Evangelist and an aspirational cousin to all life. She is/they are the author of several books, most recently Undrowned: Black Feminist Lessons from Marine Mammals and the co-founder of the Mobile Homecoming Trust, an intergenerational experiential living library of Black LBGTQ brilliance.

Award-winning artist and publisher Carta Monir (small press link) presents a workshop on making work that scares you. From work about family to sex, to one's own body, there are many subjects that can feel off-limits for artists. Carta will walk you through exercises designed to start you thinking about your own approach to 'loaded' work, and work with the entire group to figure out if there is such a thing as 'going too far' where personal narratives are concerned. While not pornographic, this is an 18+ event and some sensitive topics will be addressed.

Devised Dance/Theatre piece inspired by short stories by Haruki Murakami and many more
 
Directed by: Tzveta Kassabova with the cast

“And then I realized that the deep darkness inside me had vanished. Suddenly. As suddenly as it has come. I raised myself from the sand and, without bothering either to take off my shoes or roll up my cuffs, walked into the surf to let the waves lap at my ankles.” What does it mean to tell a story? Who is the storyteller, who is listening? What real geography is surrounding us and what landscape do we imagine in our stories?

On their way to Hong Kong, each of them meets their own self, who disappeared ten years ago and has been following Shen and Jane like a shadow. At the negotiation table, Shen Mo and Jane Rujin do not know each other, forget about their past love story, and have to rely on their other self to pick up the depths of memory of untouchable love gradually.

当绝对的理想主义者的热情退却,变成了彻头彻尾的虚无主义者,被时间改变了的无奈... 如果遇到十年前的自己,该如何面对? 他们,我们。答案是?

When the absolute idealist's enthusiasm recedes and turns into a complete nihilist, the helplessness that has been changed by time... How should we face if we meet our own selves ten years ago? Them, us. What is the answer?

Directed by: Tzveta Kassabova with the cast

“And then I realized that the deep darkness inside me had vanished. Suddenly. As suddenly as it has come. I raised myself from the sand and, without bothering either to take off my shoes or roll up my cuffs, walked into the surf to let the waves lap at my ankles.” What does it mean to tell a story? Who is the storyteller, who is listening? What real geography is surrounding us and what landscape do we imagine in our stories?

More than 50 years after it originally shook up Broadway, the original “American tribal love rock musical” remains as relevant as ever. Exploring ideas of identity, community, global responsibility, and peace, set to an infectiously energetic rock beat, Hair challenges audiences even as it wows them with songs like "Aquarius," "Good Morning, Starshine," "Easy to be Hard," "I Got Life," and "Let The Sun Shine In." More than 50 years after it originally shook up Broadway, the original “American tribal love rock musical” remains as relevant as ever.

**Recommended for ages 17+. Contains adult situations, including frank references to sexuality, war, racism, and drug use. May contain nudity.**
