Dance Modern Lab Master Class Series: Donald McKayle Technique by SMTD Profs. Bill DeYoung and Robin Wilson (September 7, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/52500 52500-12842445@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 7, 2018 12:00pm
Location: Dance Building
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

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

https://vimeo.com/105438851

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

This event is supported in part by the EXCEL Lab.

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Latina/o Studies

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

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

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

Organized By: Residential College

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

Guest Dance Workshop: ‘H’ Patten (January 28, 2019 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58084 58084-14403229@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 28, 2019 5:00pm
Location: Dance Building
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

‘H’ Patten teaches the Korotech style of dance, which draws on Jamaican dancehall, Jamaican African/neo-African practices, and West and Central African dance techniques. Focusing on isolation, undulation, and pulsation, this fun yet demanding class will cover movement vocabulary from across the spectrum of African and Caribbean dance. Participants will learn dance vocabulary from the Korotech style and develop movement from drum utterances (drum talk) through this creative process. Patten is the artistic director of Koromanti Arts and ‘H’ Patten Dance Theatre Co. An experienced choreographer, filmmaker, visual artist, storyteller, author, and performer, he has developed an international reputation in African and Caribbean arts over the past 35 years. Patten has choreographed for the Ghanaian, Nigerian, Sierra Leonean, Malawian, and Zambian national dance companies, the Stella Maris Dance Ensemble in Jamaica, and many other high profile and distinguished productions. He has also taught at the Edna Manley School of Dance, Eduardo Rivera’s Compania Teatro Dela Danza Del Caribe de Santiago, Cuba, and L’Ecole des Sables, Senegal as well as teaching the cast of The Lion King (London).

Department of Dance
Choreography by guests Jawole Willa Jo Zollar and Jennifer Harge, and faculty Bill DeYoung and Robin Wilson.

The Department of Dance’s annual concert, Complex Rhythms, features the re-staging of a noted twentieth-century masterpiece and three new creations. Shelter, created in 1988 by Urban Bush Women founder Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, is an unsentimental commentary about homelessness and disenfranchisement. The New York Times wrote, “[Shelter] is so filled with compassion and anger that it becomes a powerful incantation against the evils of obliviousness and neglect.” Alumna Jennifer Harge, artistic director of Detroit’s Harge Dance Stories, is a performer who uses the body to tell stories. She was recently honored as a Visual Arts Fellow by Kresge Arts in Detroit. Harge’s work lies at the intersection of movement, performance art, African-American culture, and choreographies of protest. In celebration of Leonard Bernstein’s centenary, faculty member Bill DeYoung sets a new work to Bernstein’s Prelude, Fugue, and Riffs (1955). Robin Wilson will create a new work inspired by her upcoming trip to Cuba in May.

Robin Wilson will create a new work inspired by her upcoming trip to Cuba in May.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

The University of Michigan Department of Dance and Center For World Performance Studies, in collaboration with EXCEL and Arts In Color, is proud to present an evening with DanceWorks Chicago and the Anishinaabe Theatre Exchange. These two guest-residencies are overlapping in a night of movement and music improvisation, a DanceWorks Chicago performance, and a panel discussion regarding the topic of creating inclusive spaces in the arts.

DanceWorks Chicago is committed to building a foundation for the individual artistic growth of dancers and choreographers, providing a laboratory from which early career artists propel themselves and the art form to a new level through training, collaboration, mentorship, and performance. Led with integrity by Julie Nakagawa and Brendan P. Behan, DanceWorks Chicago fills a niche in the dance ecosystem investing in and shining a spotlight on the individual artists. Welcoming the public to engage with the DanceWorks family to build context around the work of art is both our pleasure and our duty as a good dance citizen.

The Anishnaabe Theatre Exchange is a collaborative project using theatre to activate networks with Native communities in the Great Lakes region, and involves University of Michigan students, faculty and staff with the Cultural Department of the Chippewa Sault Ste. Marie Tribe, Lake Superior State University and Bay Mills community members.

This event will be live-streamed here: https://smtd.umich.edu/performances-events/live-stream-hankinson/

The SMTD Faculty and Staff Allies Network (FASAN) is a collection of volunteer leaders dedicated to fostering a nurturing, respectful, and safe SMTD community, free from sexual misconduct, harassment, and gender bias. Distinct from a policy body or counseling effort, FASAN works collaboratively with the SMTD community to deepen our collective understanding of issues surrounding sexual misconduct, especially the power dynamics that can lead to abuse and a culture of silence. It strives to create a climate of open communication, awareness, and responsiveness through community education events. FASAN volunteers commit to attending additional training, particularly about U-M policies and support resources, so that they can serve as informed consultants to their faculty and staff peers. Network members seek to create an ever more positive learning atmosphere at SMTD and to improve the professional climate of the performing arts field as a whole.

Living Poetry / Braving Joy: Naomi Long Madgett + Gabrielle Civil (March 19, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59388 59388-14737056@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 19, 2019 1:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Hopwood Awards Program

Naomi Long Madgett and Gabrielle Civil will join us in the Hopwood Room for a public conversation about living a literary life: What does it mean to be a black woman / poet today? How has the role or impact of poetry changed? What’s most vital in a poet’s education? How can we rethink and reclaim publishing? How we can bridge the divides between different schools of poetry? How can we reconcile the ivory tower and the community center? What can poetry do in our communities? What good books are we reading (songs are we singing, art are we seeing)? What do we love? How can we brave joy?

About the presenters:

Mentored by poet Langston Hughes, Naomi Long Madgett moved to Detroit in 1946. In the 1960s, she joined a group of African American writers who met regularly at Boone House, including Margaret Danner, Dudley Randall and Oliver LaGrone. Madgett was named Detroit poet laureate in 2001. In her poetry, influenced by the work of Emily Dickinson, John Keats, and Langston Hughes, Madgett often engages themes of civil rights and African American spirituality. She is the author of numerous collections of poetry, including One and the Many (1956), Exits and Entrances (1978), and Octavia and Other Poems (1988, reissued and expanded in 2002). In 1972, Madgett founded Lotus Press. She edited the anthology Adam of Ifé: Black Women in Praise of Black Men (1992), and her own work was included in the anthologies The Poetry of the Negro, 1746–1949 (1949, edited by Langston Hughes) and Ten: Anthology of Detroit Poets (1968, edited by Oliver LaGrone). A selection of her papers, documenting her poetry career and the history of Lotus Press, is held by the University of Michigan’s Special Collections Library.

Gabrielle Civil is a black feminist performance artist, originally from Detroit, MI. She has premiered fifty original solo and collaborative performance works around the world. Signature themes included race, body, art, politics, grief, and desire. Since 2014, she has been performing “Say My Name” (an action for 270 abducted Nigerian girls)” as an act of embodied remembering. She is the author of Swallow the Fish and Tourist Art (with Vladimir Cybil Charlier). She currently teaches Creative Writing and Critical Studies at the California Institute of the Arts. The aim of her work is to open up space.Experiments in Joy is forthcoming from CCM Press.

"Art as a way of change. Art as a way to motivate people and to move people to action." In the words of Marcus Ellsworth, from Uncle Sam and his 'We want you' campaign mobilizing young men to join the army to the Rosie the Riveter encouraging young women to get out and work, art has inspired action throughout our nation's history.

Join us at our Salon to discuss arts as a way of activism and to engage in rich discussion and an interactive talk by our guest speaker Deekah Rox, program director of Girls Rock Detroit and founder of The Cosmic Slop Music Festival.

Rox stumbled into rock at a young age and has since been creating music in a variety of genres. As a woman of color in Detroit, she still sees women facing issues in the progress of rock music and wants to create spaces to allow black female musicians to gather and feel the liberating power of rock.

TEDxUofM Salons are intimate, discussion-based explorations into specific ideas. They feature a speaker, a few TED talks, and animated discussions and activities to get you thinking about the world around us.

Among the topics that these women artists deal with are women incarceration, self-care and healing and the condition of nonnormative bodies.

Light refreshments will be served. Free and open to the public.

Queer Spiritual Drifting: Site-Specific Performance and Writing

Tuesday, April 2, 2019
6:00pm
Walgreen Drama Center, Room B207

How can drifting find space on the page? Let’s think together about connections between performance practice and writing, about embodiment and the page, and about widening audiencing procedures for performance. In 2017, Petra Kuppers travelled to Belgium and the Netherlands as part of an Olimpias disability performance exploration of queer spiritual asylum spaces. In this talk, Petra will discuss these performance actions and the resulting publication, a travelogue essay in Performance Research, ‘Queer Spiritual Drifting: Not at home in The Beguinage.’

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

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

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

An evening of interdisciplinary dance works choreographed by second-year MFA candidates Megan Bascom and Nicole Reehorst. Bascom's work interacts with imposed boundaries and perceptions of communication where trust is fleeting, empathy is precious, and recognizing community is vital. Reehorst’s work investigates female performance within the canon of classical ballet, repositioning “her” as strategic and wild, soft and resilient.

The Friday dance performance will be live streamed here: https://smtd.umich.edu/performances-events/live-stream-bettypease/

MFA Thesis Concert: Megan Bascom and Nicole Reehorst, dance (April 5, 2019 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60686 60686-14939398@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 5, 2019 8:00pm
Location: Dance Building
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

An evening of interdisciplinary dance works choreographed by second-year MFA candidates Megan Bascom and Nicole Reehorst. Bascom's work interacts with imposed boundaries and perceptions of communication where trust is fleeting, empathy is precious, and recognizing community is vital. Reehorst’s work investigates female performance within the canon of classical ballet, repositioning “her” as strategic and wild, soft and resilient.

The Friday dance performance will be live streamed here: https://smtd.umich.edu/performances-events/live-stream-bettypease/
