ASKING BIG QUESTIONS “ THE MATTER OF ORIGINS is about the origin of matter. But it’s also about how we perceive beginnings, discover them, think about them. The Matter of Origins is a dance about a very big topic, but I also think of it as something more intimate and

Season Opening Performance and World Premiere!

LIZ LERMAN DANCE EXCHANGE e Matter of Origins friday, september 10 . 8PM sunday, september 12 . 3PM kay theatre Commissioned by the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center, e Matter of Origins opens the season with what Liz Lerman describes as “a performance, a conversation, a floor show, a quiz show and a chance to meet big minds.” e work uses science as its point of departure but even though the company has engaged physicists to help them explore the topic, e Matter of Origins is not just a dance about physics but a lively meditation on the capacity of the human mind to imagine, discern, speculate and draw conclusions.

Act One is a dance performance illuminated by video and a vivid soundscape, exploring the nature of beginnings and the physics that underlies the origin of matter.

Lerman has conducted extensive research into historic and current points of reference including the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos and the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Act Two will incorporate tea and conversation as Dance Exchange cast members serve tea and chocolate cake made from the famous recipe of Edith Warner, the Los Alamos local whose tea house was a gathering spot for the scientists at the Manhattan Project. is experience will allow audiences to respond to what they’ve seen and contribute their own insights to the spirit of discovery at the heart of e Matter of Origins. $28 for subscribers [$35] Funded in part by the National Dance Project of the New England Foundation for the Arts, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and additional funding from the Ford Foundation, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Community Connections Fund of the MetLife Foundation.

OPENING THE IDEA

LAURIE ANDERSON Delusion friday, october 29 . 8PM kay theatre Laurie Anderson’s sonic innovations and incisive, off-beat humor have earned her a reputation as a master of performance art/rock. Commissioned by the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad and the Barbican Centre in London, Delusion bears all the striking sensual trademarks that Anderson fans have come to expect. e spoken text, an intriguing romp through Anderson’s impish train of thought, is presented in tandem with dreamlike animated images that sometimes reinforce and sometimes serve as counterpoint to the words.

Anderson performs the live music on electronic violin bolstered by baritone saxophone and viola in what Vancouver’s straight.com describes as “Anderson’s most musically satisfying undertaking since the pop success of 1984’s Mister Heartbreak.”

Delusion tells a rich story about longing, memory and identity — mixing the pleasure of language with a terrible inkling that the world may be made entirely of words. $34 for subscribers [$42] Related Event: Creative Dialogue: Laurie Anderson and Kronos Quartet’s David Harrington monday, october 4 . 7PM free

In e Seagull, Anton Chekhov crafted a bold artistic departure from dramatic action by creating character studies that reveal the internal worlds of the play’s four main characters as they strive to satisfy their desires for love, success and recognition. One of Chekhov’s four major plays, it has been variously interpreted as a satire, a comedy and a tragedy with comic elements. Directed by Walter Dallas. $22 for subscribers [$27]

DIG DEEPER, GO HIGHER A CORNERSTONE OF THE CENTER’S MISSION is its commitment to free engagement events that lend deeper context and understanding to the ideas and issues brought to life through performance. Engagement events happen throughout the season and up-to-date information is always available on our website, claricesmithcenter.umd.edu.

Delve more deeply into the world of ideas at our Creative Dialogues and Take Five performances. These free events offer up-close access to some of the most creative minds in the arts and humanities — people who will open up a universe of new concepts and new perspectives.

Creative Dialogues

Take Five

e Creative Dialogues series is designed to provoke creative discussion, challenge viewpoints and expand understanding by asking patrons to go beyond the automatic assumptions and pose new questions of artists and experts.

e Take Five series, held at 5:30 PM on select Tuesdays throughout the season, fuses performance and discussion at events in which patrons are encouraged to listen, learn and leave with a new outlook on an artist and his or her work.

You’ll gain a deeper understanding of the artistic process while enjoying the work itself — the perfect end to your work day, or a scintillating prelude to your evening.

Our moderator for the fall Creative Dialogues is Kojo Nnamdi, host of the live radio magazine program, e Kojo Nnamdi Show, daily on WAMU radio. His inviting on-air style encourages guests and callers to discover new points of view, embrace controversy and spark new ideas — the perfect fit for our Creative Dialogue format.

Creative Dialogues this fall: • Laurie Anderson and David Harrington, October 4 • Liz Lerman, November 1

2010-2011 SEASON

Take Five events this fall will be announced June 1.

Please check our website at for listings.
