Welcome WE ARE ARTS NC STATE “Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the blue sky, is by no means a waste of time.”

John Lubbock, The Use of Life, 1894

You may have heard that after 29 wonderful years at NC State, I retired on July 1, 2014. And while I look forward to spending time enjoying the natural beauty that is so abundant in North Carolina, I am even more excited about exploring the cultural panorama that will be offered by ARTS NC STATE in 14/15. I think you’ll understand why when you review this Season Brochure.

Exceptional theatre, crafts classes, dance, music of many cultures and genres, beautiful exhibitions – all of these will be available to you this year at NC State. From speakeasy jazz to Ukrainian folk music, from the classic Antigone to the wildly quirky Little Shop of Horrors, ARTS NC STATE will cover the cultural globe in 14/15. I can’t wait for the journey to begin, and I want you to join me for the ride!

Thank you for your support of the arts, and please visit us often!

The Hot Sardines Friday, September 5, 2014 at 8 PM State Ballroom, Talley Student Union $24-36 ($19-31 with subscription discount)

Speakeasy Nights

Hot jazz from Prohibition-era Bourbon Street to the cabarets of Paris.

Fans of Pink Martini and the Squirrel Nut Zippers: you’re gonna love the Hot Sardines! Take a blustery brass lineup, layer it over a rhythm section led by a Fats Waller-style stride piano virtuoso, toss in a tap dancer, and tie the whole thing together with a magnetic, one-of-theboys front woman whose voice recalls another era, and you have the Hot Sardines – a band that plays the hot trad jazz and sultry standards of the 1920s, 30s and 40s with a Parisian accent and a dash of the rich Dixieland sounds of New Orleans. So. Much. Fun. Arrive early for a riotous kickoff to the evening, with a zippy performance by Raleigh’s own Sidecar Social Club, beginning at 6:30 pm, Talley Student Union.

“Dixieland has moved on up.” – The Wall Street Journal The Hot Sardines

SFJAZZ Collective Saturday, October 18, 2014 at 5 PM & 8 pm Titmus Theatre, Thompson hall $28 ($23 with subscription discount) An all-star ensemble, the SFJAZZ Collective unites eight of the finest performer/composers at work in jazz today. Hailing from Puerto Rico, New York, Venezuela, Philadelphia, New Zealand and Israel, the Collective's multicultural lineup mirrors the explosion of jazz talent around the globe. Each year, this meeting of brilliant jazz minds picks the music of a modern jazz giant as the focus for their tour. For their 11th season, they will pay tribute to legendary saxophonist and composer Joe Henderson. Henderson died much too young in 2001, a few years after his stunning Center Stage concert in October 1994 with bassist George Mraz and drummer Al Foster.

Pre-show discussion with jazz writer and musician Owen Cordle, one hour prior to each show, Kennedy-McIlwee Studio Theatre.

“I had the opportunity to hear SFJAZZ at Duke four years ago, and was blown away by what an incredibly tight band they are. When we learned that the Kennedy Center would be bringing to SFJAZZ to the East Coast this fall – and that they would be playing the music of the extraordinary Joe Henderson – we jumped at the chance to invite them to NC State.” – Sharon Moore ncsu.edu/arts 5

Lucky Plush Productions: The Queue

center stage

Friday & Saturday, October 24 & 25, 2014 at 8 PM / Titmus Theatre, Thompson hall $28 ($23 with subscription discount) Equal parts dance and theatre, The Queue unfolds in a fictional airport, where travelers stumble humorously and awkwardly into the high stakes of each other's private lives. The central narrative is adapted from a 1746 farcical play, A Will and No Will, in which the imminent death of an old man propels an assortment of seemingly unrelated characters into a chaotic negotiation of their stakes in his life and their potential inheritances. Influences of slapstick, vaudeville, and Busby Berkeley-style choreography are combined to concoct a clever, surreal and loveable dance-theatre production. We kick up the fun a couple of notches with live music by The Claudettes, a neo-vaudevillian drum and piano duo.

Lucky Plush Productions is a Chicago-based dance theatre company known for its playful interactions, surprising humor, and incisive commentary on contemporary culture. The company is equally dedicated to creating work that is richly complex while also being broadly accessible.

Pre-show discussion with choreographer Julia Rhoads, 7 PM, Upchurch Rehearsal Hall (lower level, Thompson Hall).

“The seven performers have a knack for making it seem like everyday people just break out in pirouettes to punctuate a sentence.” – Chicago Splash This residency is funded in part by a grant from South Arts in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts and the North Carolina Arts Council. The presentation of The Queue was made possible by the New England Foundation for the Arts' National Dance Project, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, with additional support from the National Endowment for the Arts. This project was supported by the N.C. Arts Council, a division of the Department of Cultural Resources.

Nano Stern Saturday, November 1, 2014 at 5 PM & 8 PM Titmus Theatre, Thompson hall $26 ($21 with subscription discount)

Nano Stern

Chilean guitarist Nano Stern’s rise to fame has been meteoric, with a devoted following that stretches out from Chile into Latin America, north to Canada and the USA, over to Europe, and down to Australia.

A guitar virtuoso with a powerful singing voice, he is noted for his passionate, charismatic live performances that reflect his poetic advocacy for social justice. His sound is an indie-folk-rock fusion, deeply rooted in traditional Chilean music, and inspired by legends like Violeta Parra, Victor Jara and Inti-Illimani.

Pre-show discussion with Sylvia Pfeiffenberger, world music writer for IndyWeek and host of Azucar y Candela on WXDU 88.7 FM, one hour prior to each show, Upchurch Rehearsal Hall (lower level, Thompson Hall).

6 ticket central / 919.515.1100

DakhaBrakha Thursday, November 13, 2014 at 8 PM State Ballroom, Talley Student Union $22-26 ($17-21 with subscription discount) A hit at New York’s GlobalFest 2014 (dubbed “subversive Ukrainian punk-folk”), this quartet’s astonishingly powerful and uncompromising vocal range creates a transnational sound rooted in Ukrainian culture, accompanied by Indian, Arabic, African, Russian and Australian traditional instrumentation. They call themselves an “ethno-chaos” band, creating a world of unexpected new music, combining drums, accordions, cello, didjeridoo, and stunning, complex vocals into a breathtaking sound steeped in Ukrainian roots music, yet refreshingly modern.

Pre-show discussion with guitarist Alex Gorodezky, 7 PM, Room 3285, Talley Student Union.

The Swingle Singers Tuesday, February 17, 2015 at 8 PM State Ballroom, Talley Student Union $24-28 ($19-23 with subscription discount) You know their trademark sound from Glee and Sex and the City.

For half a century, The Swingle Singers have pushed the boundaries of what the human voice can achieve. Their vocal agility and blend, combined with captivating showmanship, have thrilled audiences across the globe. Five decades on from their pioneering, Grammywinning debut album Jazz Sébastien Bach, today’s London-based Swingle Singers are an international a cappella phenomenon – seven young and versatile voices who deliver folk ballads, funk jams and fugues with equal precision and passion.

Saturday, February 28, 2015 at 8 PM Sunday, March 1, 2015 at 3 PM Titmus Theatre, Thompson hall $28 one show ($23 with subscription discount) $42 both shows ($37 with subscription discount) New York’s acclaimed Aquila Theatre – the foremost producer of touring classical theatre in the United States – returns to NC State with two new productions of classic works. The Tempest is Shakespeare’s famous tale of forgiveness and enlightenment.

Believed to be his final play, it is imbued with magic, the supernatural, and a heightened sense of theatricality. Wuthering Heights is Emily Bronte’s classic story of passion, revenge, family, class, and the supernatural. One of the most famous works of world literature, Wuthering Heights recounts the tale of ill-fated lovers – Heathcliff and Catherine – on the lonely moors of 19th century northern England.

Pre-show discussion with a member of the Aquila company, one hour prior to each show, Crafts Center (lower level, Thompson Hall).

“Superb acting and clever staging” – The New Yorker

Regina Carter Friday, March 20, 2015 at 8 PM Saturday, March 21, 2015 at 5 PM & 8 PM Titmus Theatre, Thompson hall $32 ($27 with subscription discount) Violin virtuoso and MacArthur fellow (i.e., “genius grant” recipient) Regina Carter is considered the foremost jazz violinist of her generation. She has put her indelible stamp on collaborations with artists as diverse as Wynton Marsalis, Lauryn Hill, Cassandra Wilson, Aretha Franklin, Mary J. Blige and Dolly Parton. Her latest recording (March 2014) is titled Southern Comfort, in which she adds her magical touch to folk music of the South – inspired by the tunes her paternal grandfather, a coal miner, would have heard as he toiled in Alabama. No surprise to us…the reviews for Regina’s latest album are glowing.

Pre-show discussion with violinist Gabriel Pelli of The Old Ceremony and the Onyx Club Boys. Saturday only, one hour prior to each show, Upchurch Rehearsal Hall (lower level, Thompson Hall).

Presenting over half of the more than 60 early 19th century Japanese woodblock ink prints held in the Gregg collection, also includes an impressive array of kimonos, textiles, fans, ceramics, and baskets to help visitors better interpret the unfamiliar and often shockingly graphic imagery in the prints. Witches, ghosts, criminals, prostitutes, and samurai warriors all had roles to play in ancient Tokyo’s infamous anything-goes pleasure zones, known as the “Floating World.”

CHRIS HONDROS: Photographs of Conflict September 11-November 15 , 2014 the David McCune International Art Gallery / Methodist University 5400 Ramsey St. / Fayetteville, NC Confirm opening hours at www.davidmccunegallery.org.

Fayetteville, NC native Chris Hondros earned his B.A. in English at NC State (in 1993) and completed his Masters in Visual Communications at Ohio University before becoming an award-winning staff photographer for Getty Images. He was killed on the morning of April 20, 2011, while photographing in Misrata, Libya.

By then, he had already photographed most of the world's major conflict zones for two decades, including Kosovo, Angola, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, Kashmir, the West Bank, Iraq, and Liberia. His unforgettable images – both strikingly beautiful and powerfully stark – had appeared on the front of Newsweek, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Los Angeles Times.

Liberia 2003, Chris Hondros

In 2004 Hondros was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for his work in Liberia, and in 2006 was awarded the Robert Capa Gold Medal, war photography's highest honor, for demonstrating “exceptional courage and enterprise” in his work from Iraq. American Photo magazine named him a “Hero of Photography” in 2007.

Hondros had a solo exhibition of his photography at the Gregg Museum in the fall of 2005. The Gregg is now proud to be able to help make an exhibition in his hometown possible.

SMOKES AND MIRRORS: Reflections of the Self in Photographs

by John Menapace Opens September 25, 2014 / Reception 6-8 PM Historic Chancellor’s Residence 1903 Hillsborough Street, Raleigh, 27607 Guest curated by Belén Morata and Sammy Kirby.

Call 919.513.7244 or email zoe_starling@ncsu.edu to schedule a visit.

John Menapace

A Museum Without Walls In the summer of 2013, the Talley Student Center renovation project began, and the Gregg Museum of Art & Design moved out of its longtime gallery and office space in Talley. Museum staff transferred the more than 34,000 objects in the Gregg’s permanent collection to a temporary swing space to await completion of the museum’s capital building campaign. Once funding is finalized for the new museum, construction will begin on exhibition spaces, classrooms and collection storage next to the site of the museum’s future home at 1903 Hillsborough Street (the university’s historic Chancellor’s Residence). Meanwhile, exhibitions, film screenings, and other large audience programs are being staged at various alternate sites.

12 ticket central / 919.515.1100

In 1955, 28-year-old John Menapace decided to leave his job as a production and design assistant at Oxford University Press and head off to Mexico on a motorcycle. He bought a second-hand camera to record the journey. Somehow the Mexico trip fell through, but the camera opened up a whole new way of seeing. By the time he moved to North Carolina the following year to become designer and production manager for Duke University Press, his camera had become an almost constant companion, second only to the cigarettes he famously chain-smoked.

Menapace eventually founded the first studio photography courses at Duke, soon followed by summer workshops at the Penland School of Crafts and classes at UNC-Chapel Hill. Many of the more well known photographers in the region (Elizabeth Matheson and Caroline Vaughan among them) trace much of their own visual lineage and way of working back to Menapace and his teaching.

Fellow photographer David Simonton has called him "the father of art photography in North Carolina."

When Menapace died in the summer of 2010, he left behind a legacy of hundreds of photography books from his personal library, thousands of black and white prints, and tens of thousands of negatives, all of which were eventually transferred to the Gregg’s permanent collection.

Since July 2012, Spanish photo historian Bélen Morata and retired lawyer Sammy Kirby have been carefully cataloging and archiving the trove. Never-before-exhibited selections from among their discoveries form the core of SMOKES AND MIRRORS.

the Gregg’s mission

As part of a research-extensive land-grant university, the Gregg Museum of Art & Design inspires creativity, innovation, and the expression of ideas.

The Gregg Museum makes its collections and activities freely accessible to the university, the community, and the public.

In fulfilling its mission, the Gregg Museum

• Acquires and preserves a collection of art, craft and design relevant to the university, the community, and the state;

• Encourages the use of the collection for teaching, learning, research and enjoyment

• Illuminates the human experience through thought-provoking exhibitions and publications; and

• Facilitates critical and creative thinking, lifelong learning, and a passion for discovery through instruction and programs.

According to its own ongoing internal census, the museum now keeps up with more than 34,000 objects ranging from textiles, ceramics, furniture, fashion, industrial design, jewelry, sculpture, outsider/visionary art, folk art, photography, and works on paper, to ethnographic materials, Native American art, and fine craft objects.

LIFE’S LITTLE DRAMAS: The World of Puppets and Illusions Showing in the late spring of 2015 at NCSU Libraries’ D.H. Hill Exhibit Gallery.

Check ncsu.edu/gregg for dates and times.

The Gregg Museum recently acquired an important collection of international puppets gifted by retired commercial artist John C. Henry, including an entire cast of 19th century English Punch-andJudy figures, Indonesian shadow puppets, a Chinese opera troupe, and a large Yayoroba figure from the Bamana tribe of Mali.

Puppetry is an age-old art form – examples have been found in Egyptian tombs and miniaturized dramas were popular with the ancient Greeks – but puppets also played a major role in the development of technology and media. The first-ever televised image (in 1928) was an articulated Felix the Cat. Howdy Doody, starring a freckled cowboy marionette, was the first network TV program to air five days a week, as well as the first show to be broadcast in color. Both anticipated today’s interactive video games and computer design. The cultural perceptions revealed by puppets, from the prehistoric belief that inanimate objects possess spirits, to the computer’s ability to create convincingly animated images of inanimate things, offer another way to trace the technological history of humankind.

You Can’t Take It with You

by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart September 25-28 / October 1-5, 2014 Titmus Theatre, Thompson Hall Evening shows at 7:30 PM Sunday matinees at 2 PM $16-18 ($14.50-16 with season tickets) One of the most loved plays from the 1930s returns to stage with Kaufman and Hart’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play. The eccentric Sycamore family is presided over by Grandpa Vanderhof, a former businessman who has turned his back on commerce to enjoy life.

With more time than money, this family is happily surviving the Great Depression by embracing their individuality, forming relationships and exploring their hidden talents rather than devoting their lives to the pursuit of wealth and status. Hysterical and yet touching, the message is still wonderfully relevant 78 years after it premiered!

Around the World in 80 Days

Phileas Fogg, the mysterious and brilliant man of mathematics and scientific reason, wagers his considerable fortune that the world can be circumnavigated in 80 days. Will Fogg and his wiley valet Passepartout complete the journey or be foiled by bandits, buffalo, storms and Scotland Yard? Aboard trains, steamships and elephants, he learns about the heart, himself and a world much bigger than he anticipated.

He buys it and names it Audrey II (after the love of his life, Audrey).

This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down-and-out Seymour as long as he keeps feeding it a very special diet. The plant grows and grows and wants more and more. Will Audrey II take over the world or will Seymour and Audrey defeat it? The deviously delicious Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash musical has devoured the hearts of theatre goers for over 30 years.

by Seamus Heaney March 27-29 / April 8-12, 15-19, 2015 Evening shows at 7:30 PM Sunday matinees at 2 PM Kennedy-McIlwee Theatre, Thompson Hall $16-18 ($14.50-16 with season tickets) The first show produced by University Theatre (then Thompson Theatre) 50 years ago was Sophocles’ Antigone. In a salute to our history and longevity, we are presenting this outstanding new translation of Antigone, commissioned by Ireland's renowned Abbey Theatre to commemorate its centenary. Seamus Heaney uses his own modern and masterly touch to expose the darkness and the humanity in Sophocles' masterpiece.

Arcadia, Fall 2013

First staged in the fifth century B.C., Antigone stands as a timely exploration of the conflict between those who affirm the individual's human rights and those who must protect the state's security. During the rebellion, Antigone, the daughter of Oedipus, learns that her brothers have killed each other, having been forced onto opposing sides of the battle. When Creon, king of Thebes, grants burial of one but not the "treacherous" other, Antigone faces the appalling dilemma of whether to obey Creon and offend against the gods, or follow her heart and plunge her accursed family into a fresh cycle of violence by burying her brother. ncsu.edu/arts 17

As undergraduate and graduate students pursuing degrees in various fields, the dancers at NC State bring their diverse insights and experiences into the artistic process and contribute meaningfully to the art, yielding a creative environment rich in imagination, reflection, and the embodiment of ideas.

Faculty Chamber Music Recital with Dr. Askim Sunday, March 22, 2015 at 4 PM Titmus Theatre, THOMPSON HALL Cosmas Magaya

$8-10 NC State University’s Music Department and The Raleigh Civic Symphony and Chamber Orchestra entered an exciting new chapter of their history with the arrival of their new music director of orchestral programs/conductor, Peter Askim, in 2014-2015. Renowned for his devotion to contemporary music, innovative programming and education, Dr. Askim arrived in Raleigh from his successful tenure as music director and composer-in-residence of the Idyllwild Arts Academy in Southern California.

In this special chamber music program, Dr. Askim will be joined by pianist Olga Kleiankina, cellist Jonathan Kramer and members of the North Carolina Symphony in two large 19th century works featuring the bass: Franz Schubert’s “Trout” Quintet and Antonin Dvorˇák’s Quintet for Strings in G Major.

As the Director of Jazz Studies at NC State, Dr. Wes Parker leads the jazz ensembles and combos, and teaches jazz history and improvisation. But as a professional trombonist, Parker ably straddles the line between jazz, classical and contemporary styles. In this recital, Dr. Parker displays his gift for stylistic variety while sharing the stage with NC State’s dynamic accompanist, Dr. Tom Koch. ncsu.edu/arts 23

the campaign for the

Gregg Museum of art & design is closing the gap! $5 million in student and university support

+ $2.5 million raised privately so far

+ $1.5 million more to be given by supporters like you

= $9 million and a new Gregg Museum!

Fund-raising progress Major Gifts

As a reminder…

More than 25 generous individuals and foundations have chosen to make a major commitment of $25,000 or more to the Gregg Museum Campaign. Several have chosen to name spaces in the new Gregg and will be recognized with permanent donor plaques once the museum is complete. All of these visionary supporters believe in the future Gregg Museum of Art & Design, and we thank them for their support!

All pledges to the Gregg Museum Campaign may be paid over a period of up to five years from the date of the original commitment. The Founding Friends program is a terrific option for those who wish to support the campaign but cannot commit to a major gift at this time.

Nearly 90 individuals, couples and businesses have joined the Founding Friends of the Gregg Museum Campaign!

Visit the Gregg Museum Campaign website at newgregg.ncsu.edu to see design renderings, to keep up with our fund-raising progress, to read about our donors, and to learn more about the Gregg Museum of Art & Design and its 30,000+ item collection!

The campaign’s Founding Friends program recognizes donors of $5,000+. Our goal is to recruit 200 Founding Friends and raise $1 million, nearly a quarter of our total private fund-raising goal. Founding Friends gifts (like all gifts to the campaign) may be paid over five years; therefore, you may contribute $1,000 each year for five years. Founding Friends will be acknowledged permanently on a comprehensive plaque that will be displayed prominently in the future museum. Together, the community can build the new Gregg!

Questions about the Gregg Museum Campaign?

The Campaign for the Gregg Museum of Art & Design is truly a campus and community effort, and you can be a part of it. Consider helping make the Gregg Museum’s permanent home a reality!
