Greetings from the College of the Arts! It’s so good to have you back, and we have an exceptional spring season planned for you. With programming ranging from groundbreaking theatre productions to World-Premiere concerts, our spring offerings seem to shine a bit brighter this semester. On January 28, we kicked things off with the Visual Arts Modernization Project Preview Event and groundbreaking ceremony. More than 100 invited guests joined us for a sneak peek of the project as they engaged with some of the latest technology-driven art tools, experienced AR/VR project demonstrations by visual arts students, and viewed scale models of the complex.

When completed, this renovation will transform our campus and community, positioning CSUF’s visual arts program – the largest in the Cal State system – as a leader in cutting-edge art education and practice within the CSUs. Follow our progress and join us on this extraordinary journey at art.fullerton.edu/vamod.

This season’s fresh slate of visual arts exhibitions and performing arts concerts and productions are sure to keep you coming back to campus! Beginning February 18, Begovich Gallery presents the exhibition “Figures, Poses, and Glances: The Coded Illustrations of J.C Leyendecker,” at MUZEO Museum & Cultural Center, exploring the coded depictions of queer culture in the eradefining images of this early twentieth-century American illustrator. The School of Music honors Black History Month with a performance of “Symphony No. 1 in E minor” by composer Florence Price – the first Black female composer to have a symphony performed by a major American orchestra. In Theatre, Maria Cominis’ “Women of Zalongo” weaves together the experiences of four generations of Greek women into a story of resilience, struggle, and survival. And in May, our student dancers and choreographers collaborate in rhythmic, expressive movement as “Spring Dance Theatre” returns to the Little Theatre.

Our diverse programming mirrors the diversity of the College of the Arts and is a testament to the values we hold. We embrace the possibility inherent in each of our students and celebrate their successes alongside them on their path to becoming future artists, educators, performers, and arts professionals. As patrons, donors, friends, and family, I know you also champion their success.

Demonstrate your commitment to the future of the arts by supporting the Dean’s Fund for Excellence at any level. Donate today at arts.fullerton.edu/giving.

I invite you to visit to campus our again for another performance, or to check out our progress as the Visual Arts Modernization Project moves into the next phase of construction. You may have even seen the walls of one of our new buildings going up along State College Blvd! Whatever brings you here, welcome. We are so proud to show you all that the College of the Arts at Cal State Fullerton has to offer.

Arnold Holland, Ed.D.

Director’s Note This material is highly volatile and provocative. It holds a dark, unyielding mirror to American society which audience members should prepare themselves to face.

Although the narrative takes place in the past, the themes and socially conscious content expose the lingering stench of toxic masculinity, sexism, and lack of empathy/ emotional intelligence that persist today. This piece is a warning that such toxic systems of oppression and dehumanization poison everyone within them, including those who think they’re on top. This production includes scenes that frequently use offensive language and offers portraits of sexual assault, violence against women/trans women, casual racism, body shaming, prostitution, war, death, and the cruelty/mockery of both women and various ethnic groups. We must be willing to confront such topics through the medium of theatrical storytelling, asking not only what we are observing, but also deciphering why.

This piece is often characterized as a story about forgiveness and empathy. While these are certainly core elements of the show’s final narrative, I believe the full breadth of this story is much more complex. It’s about confrontation. It’s about the poisons that are casually embedded in our society and the devastations they bring. It’s about revealing a potential antidote – this radically openminded empathy and hope – and praying that we can all find the courage to embrace the change required for salvation. It’s a cautionary parable set in brutal historical fiction.

In the end, I hope that this quote from Maya Angelou illuminates my vision for the power of forgiveness that must be understood in the context of “Dogfight” – a forgiveness equally balanced with self-preservation and accountability: “You can’t forgive without loving. And I don’t mean sentimentality. I don’t mean mush. I mean having the courage to stand up and say, ‘I forgive. I’m finished with it.’ When you forgive somebody, it doesn’t necessarily mean you want to invite them to your table. Indeed not. It’s just means I am finished with you. I won’t – I don’t – forget. And I will not put myself in a situation where that can be done to me again. But I understand. So then you forgive.

It relieves you. You are relieved of that burden of resentment. You really are lighter.”

– Josh Grisetti, Director, “Dogfight”
