A Conversation on Indigenous Performance and Production (August 19, 2022 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/96719 96719-21793117@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, August 19, 2022 1:00pm
Location: Haven Hall
Organized By: Native American Studies

Creating, performing, producing, and distributing works of art are fundamental processes for many artist. The choices artists make, the paths they choose, the roadblocks they face shape what is possible and what audiences can encounter. This event attempts to understand how Indigenous artists make these choices, how they practice their creative processes, and how they navigate the networks, institutions, and organizations that shape their disciplines. In a conversation moderated by Department of American Culture Assistant Professor Bethany Hughes (Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma), representatives from an Indigenous film festival in Virginia and an Indigenous theatre company in Michigan will discuss practice, performance, and production through an Indigenous creative lens. Joining the conversation will be Brad Brown (Pamunkey), director of Pocahontas Reframed: Native American Storytellers Film Festival, and Colleen Medicine (Ojibwe Sault Ste. Marie), Executive Director of Anishinaabe Theater Exchange, and Tomantha Sylvester (Ojibwe Sault Ste. Marie), artistic director of Anishinaabe Theater Exchange.

SMTD+CWPS, a new partnership between the School of Music, Theatre & Dance and the Center for World Performance Studies will present an interactive performance that weaves together live original music, dance, video projection and original artwork. Part performance, meditation, and ritual, *Ancestral Haiku* explores Black Ancestry, the Middle Passage, and engages the work of poet/scholar Mursalata Muhammad. Detroit jazz legend Marion Hayden and Legacy join dance artist and U-M faculty Robin Wilson, with artwork and video installation by M. Saffell Gardner.

*Ancestral Haiku* also considers spiritual restitution as a way to alleviate spiritual suffering and begin the process of community healing. In particular, the use of buttons in visual media, soundscape and as interactive objects reflect West African religious practices carried over to African-American slave culture. Seen as objects of ritual and meaning, buttons connect the ancestral world with our own.

The Bass speaks in the hands of Marion Hayden. Mentored by master trumpeter Marcus Belgrave; Hayden began performing jazz at the age of 15. She has performed with such diverse luminaries as Bobby McFerrin, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Geri Allen, Regina Carter, Steve Turre, David Allen Grier, James Carter and Nancy Wilson.

Her creative practice centers around her ensemble Legacy which performs original and narrative driven compositional works within the framework of improvised music with an emphasis on African diasporic music and Detroit composers. She is a co-founder of the Grammy nominated ensemble Straight Ahead- the first all-woman jazz ensemble signed to Atlantic Records.

Widely recognized as an advocate for the preservation of cultural and artistic legacy, Hayden was honored with the prestigious Kresge Artist Fellowship, the Spirit of Detroit Award and the 2022 Ron Brooks Award from the Southeast Michigan Jazz Assoc. She has served as Panelist or Consultant for Chamber Music America, the McKnight Foundation, Charles Wright Museum of African American History and South Arts. A passionate educator, Hayden holds jazz faculty positions at University of Michigan, Oakland University and the Geri Allen Jazz Camp- the first all-woman jazz residency.

Robin Wilson sees teaching, artmaking, and activism as easy companions – giving voice to untold stories and giving tools for others to speak their truth. She sees no contradiction between making art, teaching others to discover the artist within, teaching others to understand their history and connection to the greater good and being an advocate for the arts and communities. A founding member of New York’s Urban Bush Women, Robin is a Professor of Dance at the University of Michigan with an MFA in Choreography from Temple University. Her work explores the influences of the African Diaspora in historical and contemporary dance/culture, public scholarship and social justice through community engagement, and most recently, documenting the oral histories of black dancers in Harlem during the Black Arts Movement of the early 1970s.

Her recent collaborations include What We Ask Of Flesh with INSPIRIT: A Dance Company at Jacob’s Pillow and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Shattered Globes: For Tamara 2020 at the Detroit Dance City Festival and the Midwest RAD Festival and Ancestral Haiku with Detroit bassist Marion Hayden and visual artist Saffell Gardner at the Sidewalk Detroit Festival.

In 1992, Wilson received a New York Dance and Performance “Bessie” Award as a former member of Urban Bush Women for her collective work on the company’s dances River Songs (1984) and Praise House (1990). She continues to perform and collaborate with artists across cultures, bridging communities through dance and scholarship and activism.

M. Saffell Gardner was born in Detroit, Michigan and holds BFA and MFA degrees in painting from Wayne State University. A sculptor, painter and educator, Gardner’s work uses bold forms and personal iconography in centering themes of African American identity, ritual and ancestry. In recognition of his artistic creativity and originality, Gardner was honored with the Kresge Artist Fellowship, a prestigious award to a distinguished group of visual and performing artists.

As a sculptor, Gardner’s work has been described as “visually stunning” and “regal”. “Sankofa” a 12’ sculpture celebrating the Ghanaian concept of “bringing the knowledge of the past forward” has been exhibited at the Chelsea Art Walk, Chelsea, MI, 2020-21 and the Krasl Biennial at the Box Factory in St. Joseph, MI, 2022-23. His sculpture “Lost Kings” was included in the 2021 Regional Biennial at the Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum.

A female duo that creates musical performances, *I Broke the Vase* (Eva Matsigkou, Nefeli Sani) make small rituals that are linked to their music, but also to their spiritual and bodily pursuits. They apply processes, such as deep listening, sound exploration, free improvisation, phonetic expression, speech, composition, site-specific projects and anything else that can contribute to the desired result, trying to overcome the barriers of censorship and musical and/or social stereotypes. They use instruments, objects, microphones, electronics, voices, recordings and loops.

From Athens, Greece, *I Broke the Vase* will visit the University of Michigan as part of a visiting artist/scholars residency supported by the School of Music, Theatre & Dance.

CWPS Performance Talks is a series of events in collaboration with local arts presenters, which aims to bring performers to campus to foster intellectual exchange between students, faculty and practitioners, as a means of illuminating global perspectives on performance practice.

at the Keene Theater in the U-M Residential College
701 E University Ave, Ann Arbor, MI 48109

Free and Open to the Public

A collaboration of Detroit Public Theatre & the Prison Creative Arts Project

More about the film:
MTV Documentary Films Presents *Angola Do You Hear Us? Voices From a Plantation Prison* (formerly known as A Peculiar Silence) tells the story of playwright Liza Jessie Peterson, whose acclaimed play *The Peculiar Patriot* was shut down mid-performance at the Louisiana State Penitentiary, commonly known as Angola Prison.

Directed and edited by Cinque Northern, produced by Catherine Gund, featuring Liza Jessie Peterson and Norris Henderson (Peterson and Henderson are also Executive Producers), the film examines how one woman's play challenged the country's largest plantation prison and impacted the incarcerated men long after the record of her visit was erased by the institution's administration.

More about the play:
LaQuanda ‘Betsy’ Ross knows a lot about the New York State Penitentiary system. Her regular visits to loved ones in various upstate institutions have made her quite the expert and a self-proclaimed “Peculiar Patriot." In-between neighborhood updates and gossip, Betsy educates herself and the audience on the systemic inequity within America’s prison complex system and its effect on those behind bars, as well as their family and friends.

Written and performed by the incomparable Liza Jessie Peterson, The Peculiar Patriot was inspired by her comprehensive and extensive work in prisons, including on Riker’s Island. Peterson’s tour de force solo piece is an important, funny, and profound investigative look into America’s criminal justice system.

The goal of *In And On Our Own Terms* is for each artist to tell a story from their own experience that would not typically be part of the broader narrative about mass incarceration.

The goal is not to define any artist by the experience of having been incarcerated, but rather to amplify a story that only that artist can tell—a story that is important to the artist to tell, and an opportunity to use the medium of theatre to share it with the community.
