"A big-hearted Williams one-act about love and heroism, staged with West African flair in a performance full of vibrant song and dance, perfectly suited to the outdoor marketplace."

The University of Michigan Center for World Performance Studies (CWPS) hosts the National Theatre of Ghana in residence from September 12-17, featuring a series of open air performances of 10 Blocks on the Camino Real, written by Tennessee Williams. In this one-act play, song, dialogue and dance are used to tell the story of how the American hero Kilroy enters the pantheon of heroes by losing his innocence. The plaza of Ten Blocks on the Camino Real is a crossroads of world theater, drawing on Williams’ experiences in Mexico, and inspired by German theater, Chinese opera and commedia del’arte. Ghana is the source and setting for this new production, directed by David Kaplan, curator of the Provincetown Tennessee Williams Theater Festival. While the spoken English text is performed as written by Williams, Spanish songs and Spanish words have been translated to Ghanaian songs and Ghanaian languages. Don Quixote has become Okomfo Okokye, the founder of the Ashanti line of kings, who finds his sidekick, Osei-tutu. Other Spanish details are exchanged for Ghanaian specifics: pesos for pesewas, fiesta for jubilee. The presiding musician plays two blue djembe drums, rather than a blue guitar.

Established in 1983 at the University of Ghana at Legon, the professional theater company once known as “Abibigromma” became the resident troupe of the National Theatre of Ghana in 1991. The focus of the company is to develop a rich blend of music, dance, mime, movement, and dialogue with a strong social, spiritual and folkloric base. In addition to performances and class visits throughout the week, they will give a workshop for the public at the Residential College on Wednesday, September 13 at 4pm in the East Quad Keene Theater, and will also work with students at Ann Arbor’s Community High School, and Mosaic Youth Theater in Detroit.
CWPS aims to recreate the atmosphere of the Ghanaian outdoor productions here in Michigan, staging performances in four outdoor venues through the week. These include:


Ann Arbor Farmer’s Market

How do American studies and performance studies intersect in our research and teaching? What theories, methodologies, fields of evidence, and habits of mind do these fields offer one another? Where and how do performance studies and American studies not mesh well? What problems at their intersection might be unsolvable? How can these fields together produce new knowledge about US cultural history, particularly aobut the histories of race?

SMTD alumnus William Crowley introduces students to Graham Technique, its basic principle of “contraction and release”, spirals, and proper breathing patterns, demonstrating the beneficial knowledge that comes from the awareness of one’s own center and core strength. Crowley will then teach A Dance in Search of a Title, a work originally intended as a solo but taught as an ensemble piece, which explores the ties that bind beyond the physical realm. It is a dance of loss and longing, contrasted with the hope and faith stemming from of a love that is eternal

Each Modern Lab session features a different guest artist teaching a master class and sections from their repertory. This panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the students’ awareness of potential career possibilities.

OUR STORY
FOKUS increases the awareness of and access to art disciplines by providing unique ways for people of all ages to access the arts. Our primary goal is not to create the next famous artists but simply to allow individuals to understand what their creative talents are and apply this knowledge to their educational, professional and personal life. We create and expose communities to the arts through arts education, community art events, and an online magazine. This helps people understand their innate creativity and develop their talents so that they can maximize their potential for future success. The arts teach you how to create something from nothing and this innovative trait is what leads to success.

Einstein on the Beach breaks all of the rules of conventional opera. Instead of a traditional orchestral arrangement, Glass composed for the synthesizers, woodwinds, and voices of the Philip Glass Ensemble. Non-narrative in form, the work uses a series of powerful recurrent images as its main dramatic device, shown in juxtaposition with abstract dance sequences created by American choreographer Lucinda Childs.

UMMA encourages viewers to bring blankets and chairs to enjoy the performances on the lawn, and to send feedback using the #ummanights hashtag on social media sites.

Through a series of lectures focused on dance, music, and fine arts, as well as a hands-on demonstration on Korean folk painting and a visit to the Korean galleries at the University of Michigan Museum of Art, this workshop will shed light on contemporary Korean arts, showing how Korea has reinterpreted its own tradition, merged it with the contemporary global practice and successfully exported it all over the world.

What to expect: engaging lectures on Korea, provided by specialists in the field; teacher resource kits; a tour of the Korean galleries at the University of Michigan Museum of Art; lunch and coffee breaks; travel reimbursements for eligible participants.

Reserve your spot today—registration is limited.
Registration deadline: September 20.

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

Choreographer Eryn Rosenthal examines the democratic underpinnings of Contact Improvisation, and the role of the body in transgressing previously legislated boundaries. She has worked with choreographers Sello Pesa, Jay Pather and Sol Picó, poet Elizabeth Alexander, and documentary theatre pioneer Anna Deavere Smith, among others. Eryn’s ongoing series, The Doors Project, investigates transitions–political, social, intimate–through site-based performance in different doorways around the world. Her related dance theater performance and MFA thesis, Freedom Suite: Transaction Being Processed, based on ongoing oral history research with anti-Apartheid activists from New Brighton, Port Elizabeth, South Africa, will be touring to several festivals in 2018-19. Eryn is an alumna of the MFA program in Dance at U-M, where she also studied in the Ford School for Public Policy. She has performed and taught throughout the US, South Africa and Europe, and is delighted to be back at U-M as a King-Chávez-Parks Visiting Professor and Artist in Residence for Dialogue-Building, Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives. Learn more at www.erynrosenthal.com

This workshop is made possible through funding from the Office for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI); the King-Chávez-Parks Visiting Professorship; ArtsEngine; the CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund; the School of Music, Theatre and Dance’s DEI Fund; the African Studies Center; the LSA Democracy in Action Fund; the W.M.

Michael Spencer Phillips will lead a modern dance class anchored in the Martha Graham technique but widely influenced by his performing career with Pascal Rioult and Robert Battle. Phillips's class is musical, rhythmic, and extremely athletic using Graham's technique as the backbone to contemporary yet technically classical movement. He also focuses on varying quality and texture to build a dancer for performance on stage, camera, or site-specific locations. His belief is in utilizing the classic Graham technique in the dance world of today and beyond.

Each Modern Lab session features a different guest artist teaching a master class and sections from their repertory.

Garcia’s workshop will focus on integrating storytelling into movement practice. A full warm up concentrates breath and presence in the body, awakening the senses through improvisation that initiates from the spine. Dancers will play with partnering and group work, composing phrases that interact and incorporate sound and speaking. The purpose of this workshop is to explore the interplay of movement and storytelling, and to enliven conscious artistic practice.

Garcia is a Cuban-American director and choreographer based in Harlem, NYC. Currently devising a Storytelling Production with Veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan, Garcia developed Heather Henson’s puppet play Crane, directed Salsa, Mambo Cha Cha Cha in Havana, Cuba, and FELA! The Concert in Australia and New Zealand.

marginalized statuses. Some of her teaching publications include

Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

U-M Professor Petra Kuppers will introduce the film, including a short reading from her new book "Theatre & Disability," followed by the film screening, open discussion, and a book signing.

This 33-minute documentary explores Sins Invalid, a performance project that incubates and celebrates artists with disabilities, centralizing artists of color and queer and gender-variant artists as communities who have been historically marginalized. The performance work explores the themes of sexuality, embodiment and the disabled body. Conceived and led by disabled people of color, they develop and present cutting-edge work where normative paradigms of "normal" and "sexy" are challenged, offering instead a vision of beauty and sexuality inclusive of all individuals and communities. "Sins Invalid" is as an entryway into the absurdly taboo topic of sexuality and disability, manifesting a new paradigm of disability justice.

Petra Kuppers, U-M professor of English language and literature, women's studies, art, and theater and drama, is a community performance artist and a disability culture activist.

Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Center for World Performance Studies

Professor Chavasse presents research from her travels to the Malta Festival in Poznan, Poland, and to Berlin, Germany where she created a new dance work for Tanz Tangente. In Poznan, the panoply of dance, music and theater events focused on the festival theme-- The Balkans Platform, (Platforma Blakany), with the title of "We The People", analogous to our "not my president" protests. Chavasse will discuss the highly politicized works she witnessed as an audience member, posing questions about gender politics and social inequality and autocracy. She will also discuss the genesis of a new dance created with Tanz Tangente in Berlin, called "Little Monsters,” in which the movement exploration is centered around pulsing, agitation, manipulation and absence.

The Center for World Performance Studies Faculty Lecture Series features our Faculty Fellows and visiting scholars and practitioners in the fields of ethnography and performance. Designed to create an informal and intimate setting for intellectual exchange among students, scholars, and the community, faculty are invited to present their work in an interactive and performative fashion.

If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event, please contact Center for World Performance Studies, at 734-936-2777, at least one week in advance of this event.

"I’m a lychee peel in peril
Plates tipping off the table
By catnipped paw.
I’m those ecstatic missing thumbs.
I’m ghosting the trains until home.
I’m a wash-and- wear sunburnt mess of curls.
I’m 7 Train Love Local,
No names Express."

Collective, 2013)

LRCCS Tuesday Lecture Series | Moonwalking in Beijing: Michael Jackson, Piliwu, and the Origins of Chinese Hip-Hop (February 20, 2018 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/48551 48551-11251646@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 20, 2018 11:30am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

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

Emily Wilcox is Assistant Professor of Modern Chinese Studies in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Michigan. She is a specialist in Chinese performance culture, especially dance, and has published articles in both English and Chinese in "Asian Theatre Journal," "TDR: The Drama Review," "The Journal of Asian Studies," "Wudao Pinglun (The Dance Review)," and other venues. Dr. Wilcox co-curated the 2017 exhibition "Chinese Dance: National Movements in a Revolutionary Age, 1945-1965" that was on display in the UM Hatcher Library last spring, and she is the author of a forthcoming book on the history of concert dance in the People's Republic of China.

Location: North Quad
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

No-No Boy is a multimedia concert featuring the songs of singer/songwriter Julian Saporiti. These songs, inspired by his doctoral research at Brown University, as well as his experiences growing up as a Vietnamese-American in Tennessee, are complemented by stories he has collected set against a backdrop of projections displaying archival photographs and films.

This performance shines a light on diverse but interconnected Asian-American experiences: the many lives of WWII Japanese Incarceration camp survivors, refugees from southeast Asia, waves of immigrants, and kids in middle America making sense of a hyphenated identity. Saporiti is joined on stage by singer and fellow Brown PhD student Erin Aoyama, whose grandmother was incarcerated during World War II in a Japanese-American concentration camp in Wyoming. Together, they tell stories, sing songs, and show films to share their research in a unique and captivating way.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Note: These films include depictions of violence and nudity.

Please RSVP at the link below.

Public entrance off of East University, door closest to Willard

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

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

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

The Center for World Performance Studies Faculty Lecture Series features our Faculty Fellows and visiting scholars and practitioners in the fields of ethnography and performance. Designed to create an informal and intimate setting for intellectual exchange among students, scholars, and the community, faculty are invited to present their work in an interactive and performative fashion.

If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event, please contact Center for World Performance Studies, at 734-936-2777, at least one week in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.

SMTD@UMMA Performance: Exercising the Ear: Music and Conversation with Augusta Read Thomas (March 14, 2018 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/49491 49491-11464943@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 14, 2018 7:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refreshments will be provided.

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

Two highly renowned artist-scholars from the Indonesian Institute of the Arts lead the UM student gamelan ensemble in a concert that will highlight contrasts and continuities between court and popular gamelan music and Javanese dance styles.

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

About Hou Ying (Choreographer)

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