Happening @ Michigan https://events.umich.edu/list/rss RSS Feed for Happening @ Michigan Events at the University of Michigan. U-M/NAS Town Hall (May 28, 2019 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/62945 62945-15520072@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, May 28, 2019 9:00am
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: ArtsEngine

The purpose of this town hall will be to discuss the findings and recommendations from the consensus report, The Integration of the Humanities and Arts with Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine in Higher Education: Branches from the Same Tree, released Spring 2018 by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM). The even will also facilitate discussions about strategies for the creation, evaluation, and sustainability of courses and programs that integrate across disciplines. The report represents a culmination of a two-year study conducted by a committee of National Academies members including scientists, engineers, health professionals, humanists, artists, and industry leaders. The report argues that integrating the humanities and arts with science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine results in positive learning outcomes that will help students successfully enter the workforce, enrich their lives, and help them become active and informed citizens. Importantly, a range of positive educational outcomes resulted from these methods, including improved written and oral communication skills, teamwork skills, ethical decision-making, critical thinking, and the ability to apply knowledge in real-world settings.

Belle Isle and Beyond: A Site Dance Performance (June 8, 2019 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62992 62992-15530599@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, June 8, 2019 1:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Community members from Detroit, along with U-M faculty and students, are joining forces to create Belle Isle and Beyond, an innovative site dance performance that celebrates the synergies between Detroit’s natural and built environments. The family-friendly 30-minute outdoor performance will begin at the Belle Isle Nature Center and environs, rain or shine.

The Belle Isle and Beyond performance grows out of a series of workshops in dance, visual art, and music for Detroit Academy of Arts and Sciences middle school students. Held at the Belle Isle Nature Center and at Detroit Academy of Arts and Sciences in February-April, the workshops cultivated a sensory engagement with Belle Isle in order to deepen understandings of Detroit’s ecosystems and the ongoing restoration efforts taking place in the Detroit River watershed.

Inspired by the creative investigations of the young students, Belle Isle and Beyond features choreographers and dancers from Detroit’s Big Red Wall Dance Company, whose artistic director is Erika Stowall, and Ann Arbor Dance Works, the resident dance company of the University of Michigan Department of Dance. The artistic director for Ann Arbor Dance Works and for Belle Isle and Beyond is Jessica Fogel, a professor of Dance at U-M.

Music for the performance is composed by Michael Gurevich, associate professor of Performing Arts Technology at U-M, and by Tessa Fornari, a U-M Performing Arts Technology student majoring in sound engineering. Their ambient electronic score incorporates sounds of Belle Isle, including sounds recorded by the DAAS middle school students and underwater recordings of the Detroit River.

The event also features an exhibit of art collages created by the DAAS middle school students in a workshop led by U-M School for Environment and Sustainability aquatic ecologist and visual artist Dr. Sara Adlerstein, and Belle Isle Nature Center education specialist David Anthony.

Sponsored by Michigan MCubed 3.0; University of Michigan Edward Ginsberg Center; University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; Detroit Academy of Arts and Sciences; the Detroit Zoological Society and Belle Isle Nature Center.

UMMA Pop Up: Progressive Acoustic Music with Warren & Flick​ (June 23, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/63441 63441-15696246@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, June 23, 2019 1:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Warren & Flick explore the nuanced textures of a two-person band. Using both original material and standards from many genres they have arranged in a personal style, the group finds new depth in the simplicity of the duo. Jacob Warren plays double bass, while Grant Flick plays violin, tenor guitar and mandolin. Currently based out of Ann Arbor, Michigan, the two met at the 2015 Acoustic Music Seminar (AMS), a program accepting only sixteen young string players from around the world to participate in a week of intense improvisation, composition, and performance training. A part of the Savannah Music Festival in Georgia, AMS is led by multi-instrumentalist Mike Marshall with the help of guitarist Julian Lage.

After discovering their shared musical interests, Jacob and Grant began collaborating as a duo as well as in larger projects including The Leafless and Westbound Situation, both comprised of former AMS participants. Jacob and Grant attend University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre, & Dance, where they spend much of their time arranging, composing and performing together. With Jacob’s classical foundation and Grant’s experience in bluegrass and jazz, their contrasting backgrounds give them a unique and compelling musical narrative. ​ Find them on Facebook.

Mi Vida Su Vida - Open Dance Workshop with Alexis Saenz (October 2, 2019 6:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/67455 67455-16857829@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 2, 2019 6:30pm
Location: Dance Building
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

The Ancestral Healing Movement Workshop is an experience that requires participants to use imagination and movement to heal past trauma and embrace resilience. During this process, students should be prepared to experience all emotions that come up for them and will leverage movement to release feelings or experiences that no longer serve them. This class requires all senses and in some cases speech to take up space in the room figuratively and physically. Using epigenetics to understand and movement as medicine to heal, the goal is to physically release trauma that is pinned up in the body and embrace generational resilience for a brighter future.

Saenz's residency at U-M also includes a screening of the film "The Process of Remembering" on Friday, Oct. 4th at 6:30 pm in the Betty Pease Studio Theater within the University of Michigan Department of Dance.

"The Process of Remembering" is a short film by Alexis Saenz about remembering, learning and understanding her identity in this world. Eight versions of Saenz entwine together in the film, showing stages she has moved through to get to the present. This film took one year to create and was a collaboration with 34 different artists. The event includes a screening of the 13-minute film, and immersive live performance that stems from the work, a photo series accompanying the film, and a Q&A seminar to follow.

Since creating "The Process of Remembering", Saenz comments on having continued to realize and learn more and more from the process. She states, "I hope that people watching the film will be inspired to remember who they are and continue going through their processes with fortitude. As long as I am breathing and the Creator continues to challenge me in this life I will continue to overcome, I will speak my truth, seek the truth and heal through my art. We all must."

The Process of Remembering Tour includes different elements, including portions of a workshop entitled 'Mi Vida Su Vida' ( https://indigenousyouth.org/voices/mi-vida-su-vida-health-education), aimed at dismantling belief systems and developing tools for better understanding of oneself and the healing process. Saenz states: "My hopes for each city are to learn about the importance of mind, body, spirit connection and self-love."

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Semester in Detroit

Our Healing Justice as Building Cultural Resistance workshop series is back! Last fall, SiD faculty member Diana Seales coordinated 5 workshops for students and community members to learn about, discuss, and practice healing justice. This time, the series is back with some updates and an additional workshop.

All workshops are free and open to the public and include a light dinner.

If you are coming from Ann Arbor as a registered student or someone who wants to drop in for one or more workshops, please email Craig Regester (regester@umich.edu) to confirm your transportation.

SERIES INFORMATION:

Cultural organizing places culture at the center of an organizing strategy. It can be done to unite people through the humanity of culture and the democracy of participation. This series explores the ways in which healing justice, creativity and arts enhance cultural organizing through a series of unique workshops led by Detroiters that are at the forefront of this movement. This type of creative organizing empowers communities to come together in celebration of culture while developing valuable skills that challenge power and oppression.

Healing Justice is woven through each of the workshops. Dr. Page of the Kindred Healing Justice Collective (often attributed with coining the phrase) describes Healing Justice as identifying how we can holistically respond to and intervene on generational trauma and violence, and to bring collective practices that can impact and transform the consequences of oppression on our bodies, hearts and minds.”

Additionally, this series is led entirely by indigenous community members and activists. The practice of ritual, which is deeply tied to healing justice and cultural organizing, often comes at the risk of cultural appropriation. As we try to create cross-cultural community healing spaces, it is vital to understand Anishinaabe culture as we stand on their land. This series will struggle with that idea, with the challenge of ritual in the modern era, and will encourage people not familiar with healing justice to get outside their comfort zones and confront the ways in which the destruction of indigenous healing practices and colonization are deeply interconnected.

Dancing at the End of the World: Armageddon or Sunrise or Something (October 24, 2019 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/65516 65516-16607701@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 24, 2019 7:00pm
Location: Dance Building
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Choreographers Mauriah Kraker and Leah Wilks will perform their acclaimed duet Armageddon or Sunrise or Something, an hour long endurance-driven event that asks questions about place, boundary, sensuality, care, and exhaustion. Pulling from the duo’s different training histories in improvisation, Olympic-level sport, ballet, modern dance technique, photography, and sound design, the piece functions as both a grief ritual and a space for reckoning with limitation.

This performance is part of the Art in the Anthropocene: An Interdisciplinary Symposium on Performance, Technology, and Ecology taking place Monday, October 21 through Saturday, October 26. This interdisciplinary symposium will bring together artists and scholars across the fields of dance, art and design, science and technology studies, and women’s studies who are currently working at the intersections of performance, art, and ecology. Through workshops, performances, and open panels participants will be examining the relationship between the arts and sciences during what is commonly referred to as ‘The Anthropocene,” meaning the current epoch in which human impact on earthly geography is undeniable and irreversible. All events are free and open to the public. For more information about Symposium events visit myumi.ch/4pp0R

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

In this evening performance, artist-scholars Michael J. Morris and Charli Brissey will present two current performance projects, Elemental Rites at the End of the World and Agua Viva: Choreographies of Water. Morris works with ritual structures for shifting consciousness, connecting to our embodiment of air/fire/water/earth, devising spontaneous rituals for healing and addressing political harm, incorporating astrology and tarot as movement scores, and creating dances as spells. Their performances and scholarship address the figure of the witch as a site of resistance to imperialist, colonialist, white supremacist, capitalist, heteropatriarchy. Brissey will share an iteration of their current multi-year research project, which turns to the oceans, natural water systems, and the deep-sea floor as potentially radical sites for imagining new futures in ecologically precarious times. Emerging through performance, video, sound design, and experimental writing, this project questions what gets identified as “technology” and the social, political, and ecological consequences of engaging with these systems and infrastructures.

Using sounds from Jazz greats such as Sidney Bechet and Django Reinhardt, guitarist Erik McIntyre and trumpeter Ben Green will perform music that was canonized in the 1920's and 1930's, a golden era of Jazz music. The style, characterized by complicated rhythms, expansive song-forms, and sounds taken from Romani-esque and Dixieland tunes, combine to create a wonderful new forward movement for the genre. 

Erik McIntyre, a recent U-M Alumnus, is a Jazz guitarist based out of Flint, Michigan. Ben Green is a current senior in the School of Music, Theatre, & Dance in the Jazz Studies department.

EVERYONE’S INVITED.

Culture. Music. Festivities. Tea. Food. Dance.

Grab your cultural clothes, grab your friends, and join cultural Bangladeshi, Egyptian, Iraqi, Jordanian, Lebanese, Palestinian, Pakistani, Persian, Syrian, and Yemeni student organizations for a night of cultural celebration and empowerment. A chance for our diverse cultures - Desi, Non-Desi, Middle-Eastern, Non-Middle Eastern - to unite over a common struggle.

What all ten of these countries share are serious sanitation issues. Many have suffered as a result of these unsafe conditions, and unfortunately, media has portrayed them as victims from political warfare rather than human beings with rich, deep cultural ties and appreciation for their country. As a way to honor and showcase this love for the countries, Paani is bringing together everyone together to rediscover their cultural roots!

UMMA Pop Up: Karissa Bone (March 14, 2020 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/73786 73786-18315758@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, March 14, 2020 1:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Writing in her own genre, Karissa Bone introduces music with the bop-factor of Pop, the soul of R&B, and the unexpected element of pinpointed introspective lyrics. Hailing from Saginaw, MI, her style is influenced by Motown, Classic Rock, and everything in life that goes sideways. Her airy, yet powerful voice melts together with her soul-twisting lyrics to make every song a memorable journey. Whether she’s with a full band, string section, at a grand piano, or playing solo with her electric guitar, Bone’s live shows are full of energy and belonging. With short comedic breaks, she seamlessly covers topics from heartbreak to nostalgia, to the modern age of technology. Her artistry truly shows through– when she sings, you stop and listen. 

In 2019, while studying at the University of Michigan's School of Music, Theatre & Dance, Bone paid her dues in Ann Arbor, where she's performed at the famed Blind Pig, the Ann Arbor Summer Festival, and the Canterbury House. She currently studies songwriting at the Berklee College of Music in Boston.

Performances featuring new work by the 2019-20 Daring Dances Student Fellows: Ambiance Dance, Arabesque Dance Troupe, Iraqi Student Association, and the Queer Arts Collective. Centered in the southeastern region of Michigan, Daring Dances embraces how dance, through art-making and spectatorship, invites us into difficult conversations—conversations among those with whom we share identities and values and conversations across differences. As racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia proliferate in public space and public policy in our current moment, Daring Dances supports emerging new work by choreographers based in the Midwest, encouraging students at the University of Michigan making dance related to social justice, and conducting “Experiments in Coalition,” community engagement work that brings together communities around dance performance making and viewing.

Daring Dances Student Fellows present global dance exploration of social issues in this evening performance. The Daring Dances project, led by U-M dance professor Clare Croft, embraces how dance invites us into difficult conversations. This project includes a Student Fellowship program to support U-M students with interests in dance and social justice.

Ambiance Dance Team, a U-M Student organization, is a collective of dancers interested in fostering a social, artistic and diverse community. Their latest work, Deviation, acknowledges the struggle and strength of young women making their mark in a male dominated world.

Arabesque Dance Troupe, a U-M Student organization, brings focus to Middle Eastern and North African Culture through artmaking. “Arab Expressions” brings these art forms together for a yearly celebration. Arabesque will perform an excerpt from this concert, highlighting their history, culture and experiences. 

Iraqi Student Association (ISA) aims to promote and raise awareness of Iraqi and Middle Eastern culture. The association strives to bring the Iraqi community together while educating the student population at the University of Michigan on topics within the Iraqi and Middle Eastern society. ISA will invite the audience to join in learning “Chobi”, a traditional dance performed at public events and weddings. *Audience Participation Optional 

Queer Artist Collective, an organization founded by dance majors Alana ​Packo and Rose Janusiak, aims to create a space where Queer artists from any craft can establish community. Their latest work, “An Exploration of Intimacy in Queer Friendship," asks the question how can two people of the same sexuality develop a friendship of deep intimacy despite the prospect of attraction?  

This program is funded by University of Michigan’s School of Music, Theatre and Dance, with support from the University of Michigan Museum of Art.

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

Meleko Mokgosi's monumental installation Pan-African Pulp presents a complex and multi-layered reflection on histories of Pan-Africanism, Black Consciousness, and Southern African resistance movements. Made up of five parts, it engages with its audience in various ways, encouraging visitors to access this rich history through the medium of history painting, through popular posters, through comic books, academic literature or stories written in Mokgosi's mother tongue - Setswana. Multiple interpretations and readings are not only possible but are explicitly encouraged by the artist, whose work is saturated with archival research, theory and deep thinking about the history of artmaking and the powerful role artworks have (and continue to have) as sites of resistance and activism.

Taking Pan-African Pulp as their starting point, five different speakers from the University of Michigan and Michigan State University will bring their unique points of view to the table, offering up new and perhaps unexpected interpretations, exploring how one artwork may act as a prism for diverse readings. 

The program will take place in the Mokgosi installation on the first floor between the UMMA Shop and Cafe.  Speakers include:

Bénédicte Boisseron, from the U-M Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS), will respond to the mural examining the complexity of blackness;

Julian Chambliss, Professor of English, Val Berryman Curator of History, MSU Museum, on the historical posters from internationalist and Pan-African movements from around the world;​

Anita Gonzalez, from the U-M School of Music, Theatre & Dance, the stories from Setswana oral tradition.

Annette Joseph-Gabriel, from the U-M Department for Romance Languages and Literatures, the 1969 Algiers Pan-African manifesto annotated by the artist;

Randall Scott, from the MSU Comic Art Collection, the large-scale panels inspired by African photo novels of the 1960s and ’70s.

The discussion will be moderated by Laura De Becker, UMMA’s Helmut & Candis Stern Associate Curator of African Art.

This program is organized in partnership with the U-M African Studies Center.

Lead support is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan African Studies Center and the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies.

Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Center for World Performance Studies

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

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

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

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.

Native American students and faculty at the University of Michigan have been bringing the annual powwow to the Ann Arbor area since 1972. At this year’s 48th Annual Dance for Mother Earth Powwow, Isabel Engel, the Andrew W. Mellon Academic Teaching Fellow at the University of Michigan Museum of Art, will share images from and information about UMMA’s new Power Family Program for Inuit Art.  This collection of sculptures and prints from Kinngait (Cape Dorset), in the Nunavut region of Canada, will foster rich inquiry and discussion. Learn about the current installation, Reflections: An Ordinary Day, the art and the artists, and plans for the future of the program. Engel's presentation will take place 3:30-4:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 28.

The powwow is one of the largest in North America and is a time for "celebration for and by the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and Native American communities alike," according to the Native American Student Association, which coordinates the event. The two-day event begins Saturday and features vendors, traditional music, dancing, and ceremonial outfits. 

   

The Dance for Mother Earth Powwow is hosted by the University of Michigan Native American Student Association (NASA) with assistance by the Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives (OAMI) and the EMU Native American Student Organization (NASO).

Jury Duty is a jazz quartet consisting of U-M School of Music, Theatre and Dance (SMTD) sophomores Eric Banitt, Mitchell Dangler, Reuben Stump, and Ian Thompson. The group began playing together in preparation for their annual performance examinations in the jazz department. These examinations are called "juries," birthing the group's name. After adequately preparing for their freshman year jury, Jury Duty began writing and performing their original compositions in dorm rooms, houses, and other venues around Ann Arbor.

A yooper hailing from Marquette, Michigan, Eric Banitt is a jazz piano major. With his roots in classical music, Eric also plays the trumpet and violin. Mitch Dangler is a sophomore from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Mitch plays the drum-set, and if you’re lucky he’ll whip out a couple of spoons. Reuben Stump is from Lansing, Michigan, and has been playing the bass for over 4 years. Reuben grew up performing and listening to the Great American Songbook.

[CANCELLED]. CSEAS Lecture Series. Islamizing a Sacred Hindu-Javanese Text: The Story of Jimat Kalimasada in Javanese Wayang Puppet Play (April 3, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70971 70971-17760244@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 3, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Southeast Asian Studies

Sumarsam, Winslow-Kaplan Professor of Music, Wesleyan University

Before the arrival of Islam, Javanese people had lived in Hindu–Javanese hybrid culture. The Islamization of Java has given rise to not only the expansion of different groups of people with diverse syncretistic religion and culture, but also rich variations in the content and context of Java-Islamic cultural performance genres and ideologies. Believing in the performing arts as one of the major venues for the blending of beliefs and practices, my presentation discusses a particular wayang story, Jimat Kalimasada, to show the complex processes of religious and cultural transformation from Hindu-Javanese to Islam-Javanese world of view.

Sumarsam has played Javanese gamelan since childhood. He is also a keen amateur dhalang (puppeteer) of wayang puppet play. He holds a BA degree from Akademi Seni Karawitan Indonesia, MA from Wesleyan, and PhD from Cornell. Currently holding the status of Winslow-Kaplan Professor of Music, he has taught at Wesleyan since 1972. His research on the history, theory, and performance practice of gamelan and wayang, and on Indonesia-Western encounter theme has resulted the publication of numerous articles and two books: Gamelan: Cultural Interaction and Musical Development in Central Java (1995) and Javanese Gamelan and the West (2013).

Sumarsam's recent research focuses on the intersections between religion and performing arts, examining discourses of transculturalism, the performing arts, and Islam among the Javanese. He is the recipient of a number of fellowship grants and awards, including the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Council of Learned Societies fellowship (2016-17), Indonesian Bintang Satyalencana Cultural Award (2017), the International Gamelan Festival Literacy Award (2018), and Yale Institute of Sacred Music Fellowship (2019-20). He was recently named the 2018 honorary membership of the Society for Ethnomusicology.

K-pop, or Korean pop music, is the largest cultural export of Korea. The style of K-pop blends elements of pop/R&B/rap tones, repetitive verses, dancing, and unique fashion. Referred to as part of ‘Hallyu’ (한류), or the ‘Korean Wave,’ K-pop captivated audiences of Asia and traveled the world into the United States, including our community in Ann Arbor.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Southeast Asian Studies

The Moradokmai Theatre Community of Thailand

A dramatization of the story of Nonthok, one of the most beloved episodes from the Thai epic, the Ramakien. Nonthok serves as foot-washer to the celestial angels, who tease him about his duties. He gets a magic finger from the higher God to protect himself, but ends up misusing it. The moral of the story: if everyone does their duty, the world will be safe and sound.

The Moradokmai Theatre Community is affiliated with a home school by the same name; the group is touring the U.S. to raise awareness of the needs of the elderly and disabled in its community.

Organized by the Center for Southeast Asian Studies; cosponsored by the Center for World Performance Studies and the Department of Asian Languages and Culture.
