UMOVES INSPIRES STUDENTS AND AUDIENCES

UMD SCHOOL OF THEATRE, DANCE, AND PERFORMANCE STUDIES

Associate Professor of Dance Patrik Widrig fills us in on UMoves, an annual presentation of solo, duet and group dance pieces created by the next generation of artists: undergraduate students.

By Emily Schweich, Sr. Broadcast Journalism Major Photo: Stan Barouh

What do students get out of participating in UMoves?

Widrig: It’s a chance for them to present their own creation in a professional level-production.

They learn to choreograph, collaborate, direct and be part of a vibrant artistic community. Working closely with a faculty or grad mentor, they develop original forms for their feelings, desires and ideas.

Are there any unique, new or exciting elements to the performance?

Widrig: Each choreographer is paired with undergraduate lighting, costume, media and sound design students. It has been truly inspiring to see how they enliven and support each other through these collaborations.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

Widrig: Always an adventure, this is dance art for the smart, the fearless and the fun-loving!

THIS PERFORMANCE TAKES PLACE MAY 6 - 8.

THE BLACK THEATRE SYMPOSIUM TAKES PLACE APRIL 2.

FOR TICKETS AND MORE INFORMATION, VISIT THECLARICE.UMD.EDU/BTS-2016 Photo: Stan Barouh

SPOTLIGHT ON BLACK THEATRE What does the past, present and future of the black theatre aesthetic look like?

Scholars, students, theatre professionals and community members will convene at The Clarice this April for the Third Annual Black Theatre Symposium to explore this question. Co-organizers Scot Reese, professor of theatre performance, and TDPS alumna Thembi Duncan, Artistic Director of the African Continuum Theatre Company, share some insight.

How would you describe the black theatre aesthetic?

Duncan: Just as there is no single “white” theatre aesthetic, a single black theatre aesthetic does not exist. Our goal with this symposium is to investigate the multiplicity of blackness through varying aesthetics and different modes of theatre-making.

How can culturally specific theatre contribute to the performing arts in this country?

Duncan: It’s essential to gaining an understanding of the history of black experiences in this country and in the world. Without continuing to build on, or question, or oppose those ideas, we run the risk of being cut off completely from a rich fountain of knowledge that cannot be recovered in any other form of expression.

Any predictions for what the future of black theatre looks like?

Duncan: It will definitely include more technology, both on and off the stage. Intersectionality will likely become more prominent. Increasing collaborations with other people of color, especially as class becomes the predominant divider of people in this country. More site-specific theatre and interdisciplinary forms of expression. Protest theatre is also making a comeback.

How does this symposium benefit UMD students, and the greater community here at The Clarice?

Reese: Our exploration of the expansion of an inclusive presence and influence in the field of theatre builds community. That is so important today. Take a look at the Black Lives Matter movement. The arts become a wonderful tool to dialogue and bridge gaps.

TDPS AND THE KENNEDY CENTER BRING FRESH WORK TO THE STAGE TDPS Professor Scot Reese was at a conference in Austria when the idea for New Visions/New Voices started percolating. Since then, this biennial festival for playwrights and theaters to stimulate and support the creation of new plays and musicals for young audiences and families has thrived as a partnership with The Kennedy Center.

This year celebrates the 25th anniversary of the festival. As part of the celebration, TDPS students will participate in the International Playwrights’ Intensive (IPI), an initiative to workshop new plays for young audiences from international

playwrights and producers.

Students will contribute as actors, directors, dramaturgs, stage managers and designers.

Playwrights and students alike will benefit from the partnership, Reese said. “Playwrights will

have the ability to workshop their plays in a world-class setting with some of the best students in the country; and students will be exposed to different people and cultures, leading them on the path to understanding.”

Readings of the plays will take place at The Clarice on April 29 and 30.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young, Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.

They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted, They fell with their faces to the foe.

Poet Laurence Binyon from the 1914 poem For the Fallen

UMD Symphony Orchestra and The President’s Own United States Marine Band Remembering WWI: The Mintage of Man

By Patrick R. Warfield, UMD School of Music Photos: Dylan Singleton

Music is a powerful source of remembrance; it conjures the past in a way little else does. Art created to commemorate global conflicts is particularly potent.

The War of 1812 is remembered in our national anthem, and through countless songs that remain popular today, including the state song of Maryland, we recall the American Civil War. World War I is remembered through music around the globe, but many Americans have a difficult time conjuring its sounds, despite the fact that the conflict fundamentally reshaped our domestic politics and role in the world.

UMD SCHOOL OF MUSIC

In a multimedia performance combining the University of Maryland Symphony Orchestra and The President’s Own United States Marine Band onstage on May 1, the First World War is remembered through music, poetry and song from the period. A piece by Edward Elgar recalls the invasion of Belgium, while works by Charles Ives and Frank Bridge reflect on the sinking of the RMS Lusitania.

Music by Ravel, Gurney, Butterworth and Holst evoke the emotions of conflict: naïve optimism, anger, despair and reconciliation.

The two ensembles will be joined by vocalists from both The President’s Own and the UMD School of Music in an artistic and intellectual collaboration between two of the capital’s major musical forces.

THIS PERFORMANCE ON MAY 1 IS FREE AND UNTICKETED. FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT THECLARICE.UMD.EDU/UMSO-MARINEBAND-2016

A MUSICAL RENEWAL - COMMUNITY BAND

REGINA

BY NICK OLCOTT, MARYLAND OPERA STUDIO

THE WORK: A little-performed American opera, based on a classic play.

THE PROBLEM: Two hard-to-cast roles.

THE SOLUTION: A current student and a recent alumna with the right voices.

Marc Blitzstein’s Regina (based on Lillian Hellman’s The Little Foxes) raised casting issues at the Maryland Opera Studio (MOS).

The fact that the story is set in Alabama in 1900 meant that to be historically accurate, the role of the family patriarch (bass) would be played by a white singer and the devoted servant (contralto) would be played by a black singer. But at MOS in 2016, the perfect bass is black and the perfect contralto white.

Casting without regard to race — variously called colorblind, non-traditional and alternative — has been an important, visible

and controversial issue for years. While the great playwright August Wilson called it cultural imperialism, others have lauded it as post-racial.

After much discussion, MOS decided to embrace colorblind casting. While the original casting reflected the period’s historical reality, race is not central to Regina’s plot. Giving students the opportunity to sing major roles, regardless of race, stood out as the most important goal of the production.

The perhaps controversial choice will be explored in more detail at the April 10 Opera Resonates! discussion, Regina: Is It All Black and White?

A CONTEMPORARY EXPERIENCE WITH CLASSICAL DANCE AESTHETICS

By Sarah Snyder, Communications Manager Photos: Benjamin Von Wong

Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal

On May 5, dancers from Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal (BJM) will perform one of choreographer Benjamin Millepied’s most sensual works. Set to composer Philip Glass’ Mad Rush, Closer is a voluptuous, vibrant duet that captures the tension between two bodies. It joins Rodrigo Pederneiras’ Rouge and Andonis Foniadakis’ Kosmos on a striking program danced by the internationally renowned BJM. Millepied’s choreography is known to evoke passion, power, isolation, fear and love. The accomplished choreographer, dancer and director of Paris Opera Ballet choreographed and starred in Darren Aronofoksy’s Black Swan and is credited with helping Natalie Portman dance so convincingly in the 2010 psychological thriller that earned the actress an Oscar. (The couple later married.)

Displaying its radiant and expressive style, BJM makes dance accessible through its exploration of contemporary dance yet remains committed to classical aesthetics. BJM is known for uplifting, dynamic and virtuosic performances— earning the title of “feel good company” by audiences and critics alike.

THE PERFORMANCE TAKES PLACE ON MAY 5.

NAXOS & NOI+F For the second year running, the National Orchestral Institute and Festival (NOI+F) will produce a live recording of one of its concerts, to be released via top classical music label Naxos.

The all-American June 11 program, conducted by James Ross, features Drift and Providence by Samuel Adams. The piece incorporates subtle electronic textural enhancements to its percussion parts, which Adams will be mixing live. “The electronic element in Drift and Providence is subtle and unobtrusive,” Adams said. “The sound [design] … process bridges the natural acoustic sound of the orchestra (wood, metal, skin) with the digital noises of contemporary life, which are unachievable with acoustic instruments.” Adams finds the experience of working with young musicians to be deeply rewarding. “I feel incredibly privileged to have my work be a prism through which … [educational] transformation can happen.”

PUPPETS TAKE CENTER STAGE IN SALT OF THE EARTH

BY EMILY SCHWEICH, SR. BROADCAST JOURNALISM MAJOR

PuppetCinema’s Salt of the Earth is part puppet show, part documentary and part sneak peek behind the scenes of a production. The Israeli-American company, led by artistic director Zvi Sahar, uses a thousand pounds of salt to build sets for this unique adaptation of Amos Kenan’s novel The Road to Ein Harod.

The story’s protagonist is a faceless, nameless puppet made of a real Israeli combat bag from the 1967 war. The protagonist journeys from the war-ridden Tel Aviv to Ein Harod, a kibbutz, or communal farm settlement, thought to be the last free refuge. Sahar and his production team followed the character’s trail from Tel Aviv to Ein Harod to greater understand his journey.

This process-oriented show has no “backstage.” The audience can see the performers manipulating the puppets onstage, and they also get an up-close look at the action from a live camera feed projected on a screen.

In an interview with The Jewish Week, PuppetCinema’s U.S. producer Leslie Strongwater compared the film to “a live movie.” Sahar said he strives to use the best of each genre, using the power of cinema to see things close up and the strength and vulnerability of puppets to tell the story.

While Salt of the Earth is not explicitly political, Sahar said it is “a political play in a very deep sense,” as the protagonist learns the meaning of perseverance, survival and freedom.

THE CORAZÓN OF THE COMMUNITY ADELANTE ENCOURAGES FAMILIES TO BE FAMILIES AGAIN An important part of the project was building connections within the Latino community. That meant working with various community partners including Adelante, a program that provides services for newly arriving Latino families. As part of this work, the program hosts an intensive eight-week workshop of family dinners aimed at improving family connection, and building memories and traditions. The Clarice hosted one of the family dinners, providing food, transportation and tickets to a performance by jazz harpist Edmar Castaneda. Later, they were invited back for a performance

by Haitian singer Emeline Michel, for which free tickets and transportation were provided.

THE CLARICE IN THE COMMUNITY

MINORITY MAJORITY TRENDS IN THE UMD COMMUNITY A key part of The Clarice’s mission is to build strong and lasting connections to the diverse groups of people who live within our Creative Radius. In the past decade, the Latino population in our area has increased by 100 percent. With that in mind, The Clarice began a research project to get to know this community better. The work included partnerships with the Latin American Youth Center, Maryland Multicultural Youth Centers, William Wirt Middle School and others. The Clarice subsidized arts classes at summer camps, hosted salsa classes and held focus groups to learn more about this community.

Interacting with the University helps solidify the fact that going to college and going to UMD is an attainable goal.

It’s not just an institution down the road they’ve never been to or felt welcome at.

BY EMILY SCHWEICH, SR. BROADCAST JOURNALISM MAJOR

While the words “throat singer” typically conjure ritual and tradition, artist and activist Tanya Tagaq gives this Inuit practice a contemporary flair, blending throat singing with elements of punk, metal and electronic music.

Born in the Canadian territory Nunavut, Tagaq endured her government’s efforts to assimilate indigenous people through relocation and boarding schools. When Tagaq was homesick in college, her mother sent her Inuit throat singing recordings, and she fell in love.

ONCE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND HOW AND WHY THEY ARE, WE CAN TAKE SMALL STEPS TOWARD CHANGE. - TANYA TAGAQ “I’m trying to create understanding [with my work],” Tagaq said in a 2015 interview with CityPages.com.

She has become a champion of indigenous people and their traditions, raising awareness of the high incidence of violence against Inuit women; and speaking out against the ban on seal hunting, an industry key to Inuit people’s livelihood.

“If a side effect of me expressing myself is a positive reaction … I can feel I’ve done well with my life.”

TAGAQ WILL HOST A THREE-PART PUBLIC DISCUSSION FORUM AT UMD APRIL 19–21, AND WILL PERFORM IN CONCERT ON APRIL 23.

9 Flash In Time The History of Punk Fanzines

By Vincent J. Novara, Michelle Smith Performing Arts Library Photos: Jared Schaubert

MICHELLE SMITH PERFORMING ARTS LIBRARY

Today, it only takes seconds to share opinions about music online, but in the recent past, many punk rock fans made printed publications out of their passions and unwittingly created some of the most lasting artifacts of the era.

Fanzines are amateur publications that have existed in various subcultures since the 1930s, but by the mid1970s, punk fans around the world were producing their own fanzines dedicated to bands and surrounding culture.

Washington DC’s influential punk scene contributed to this trend and local zines provided unique insight into bands like Minor Threat, Fugazi, Bikini Kill and others.

On April 7, participants in DC’s fanzine community will meet at The Clarice for Flash In Time, a panel discussion about the history of punk fanzines from DC. Panelists come from throughout DC’s fanzine history: Scott Crawford started Metrozine as a teenager in the mid-1980s and recently directed the DC punk documentary, Salad Days; Farrah Skeiky is co-editor of Strawberry Dreams, chronicling today’s still-vital DC punk scene; Amanda Huron co-created Brickthrower, a late 1990s fanzine that mingled punk and politics; and Patrick Foster co-created Sweet Portable You, a prolific zine from the 1980s into the 2000s, usually consisting solely of one or two pages of frequently surreal record and concert reviews.

The event’s moderator is John Davis, Manager of Special Collections in Performing Arts (SCPA), located in the Michelle Smith Performing Arts Library at The Clarice.

SCPA is home to the DC Punk and Indie Fanzine Collection, which includes hundreds of fanzines from the DC scene.

Following the panel discussion, there will be a Q&A session and a viewing of a film related to DC punk.

THE FLASH IN TIME LIBRARYTALK WILL BE HELD ON APRIL 7.

BIG SOUND, TINY PIANOS Avant-garde pianist Margaret Leng Tan was the first woman to earn a doctorate from Juilliard but you won’t see her performing on a Steinway.

Inspired by her mentor John Cage, Tan performs on a toy piano, living by the mantra that “poor tools require better skills.” She made her debut on the toy piano in 1993 at Lincoln Center, performing Cage’s 1948 Suite for Toy Piano.

Tan released a CD, The Art of the Toy Piano, in 1997 and has collaborated with composers including Somei Satoh, Tan Dun, Michael Nyman, Julia Wolfe, Toby Twining, Ge Gan-ru and George Crumb to

Drawing on the theatrical, Tan often includes noisemakers, other toy instruments and props, ranging from toy hammers to teapots, to create reminiscent performances. She has said, “I remain wholeheartedly intrigued by the toy piano’s magical overtones, hypnotic charm, and not least, its off-key poignancy.”

Tan will perform at The Clarice on April 12, and participate in several discussions about her work that week as well. Additionally, a collection representing her career and activity to date, including programs, scores, and audio and video recordings is housed at the International Piano Archives at Maryland.

TAN IS FEATURED IN A FILM SCREENING ON APRIL 11, A CONCERT ON APRIL 12, AND A DISCUSSION ON APRIL 13. FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT THECLARICE.UMD.EDU/MARGARET-2016.

This past January, 50 recent alumni and former faculty members of the UMD School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies (TDPS) gathered for a networking event in Los Angeles at the Faculty Productions studios. The event was hosted by alumnus and CEO Jared Paul, with longtime friend and fellow alumnus Adam Shapiro. Shapiro is an actor and producer who will join the TDPS Board of Visitors this Spring.

“The occasion signals the horizon of new opportunities for our students and recent graduates,” said Leigh Wilson Smiley, TDPS Director. “I have to thank both Jared and Adam, as well as my colleague Scot Reese, for making the magic happen. The event truly demonstrated the collaborative and entrepreneurial spirit of our students. The momentum is now tremendous, and it’s all very exciting.”

Modeled on other alumni programs within the Big Ten Theatre Consortium, the Los Angeles event was the first of its kind for TDPS. The goal is to create a new online alumni networking group and expand to other major theatre and film hubs in the country, including New York City, Chicago and Washington DC.
