ments of the women who helped to shape its history.

“Far from shrinking violets in petticoats and bonnets and fainting at the sight of blood, these ladies worked hard every day, raised families and were subjected to privation and difficulties through no fault of their own,” Dunn stated. in addition, women took on a substantial role during the Civil War apart from caring for the home. Many served as Civil War nurses, acted as spies and even cross-dressed as men in order to serve alongside their husbands and brothers.

Although many of the songs were originally performed in parlor settings, they may also have been played at benefit concerts for the war. Dunn is hopeful that the new, redesigned acoustics of Baldwin will aid in recreating that intimate feel of a parlor. “i hope that students who are attending the concert will be interested to learn something of the history of Gettysburg and the events around the battle,” said Dunn. “i hope they will enjoy the music and listen for both what is different about the popular music of the 1860s and pop music today and what is the same. What themes might they find in common with a young woman listening to some of the parlor songs of the time? What seems really foreign to them and makes them think about how different her life was from theirs?”

Come re-remember Civil War history through women’s voices on Nov. 8 at 8 p.m. in Baldwin Auditorium. The event is free.

Music ensembles take over Baldwin lineup

by Georgia Parke The Chronicle

sound?’” Simmons said. “Then they [adjusted] and said, ‘How do you like that?’

We had to tell them it sounds great.”

The Duke Jazz Ensemble has been preforming on and around campus since 1930. Their repertoire traditionally features 20th century jazz compositions, and varies depending on the guest artists performing. Past artists include Dizzy Gillespie, Lionel Hampton, Ellis Marsalis, Louie Bellson and Branford Marsalis. The group is composed of about twenty student musicians and will be preforming at Baldwin four times throughout the year.

The ensemble’s director John Brown is a lifelong musician and educator and a native of North Carolina. He received his undergraduate degree in music

from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and a law degree at Chapel Hill. After teaching at UNC-Chapel Hill, North Carolina State University, North Carolina Central University and Guilford College, he became the director of the Jazz program at Duke, as well The Duke Djembé Ensemble is the only one of its kind on campus, bringing West African Drumming to the stage along with the history and tradition it evokes. Djembé is often featured at special occasions such as weddings, religious festivals like Ramadan and day-today work. The students of the Djembé ensemble are taught the instrument through oral tradition and storytelling of each individual rhythm.

Baldwin Auditorium on East Campus is ready to celebrate.

The fall lineup of events at Baldwin features performances by ensembles such as the Ciompi Quartet and the Fisk Jublilee Singers for its first two months, but October culminates in two Baldwin Celebration Concerts, featuring the Duke Djembé Ensemble and the Duke Jazz Ensemble. The groups will perform on stage together in the first concert. Special guest artists will include Willie Murillo on Trumpet and Becky Martin on vocals.

“We’ve been performing together for 17 years,” said Duke Djembé Ensemble director Bradley Simmons of the drums and jazz combination.

The last time Duke Djembé and Duke Jazz played together in Baldwin was nearly three years ago—Page Auditorium has served as a substitute since then—and on October 25 at 8:00 p.m. the combination will return. Admission is $10 and students attend free.

“Not only does it look great but it sounds great inside,” Simmons said of Baldwin.

“They are able to tune the theater to the instruments, bringing the back panels to change the sound of the theater.”

Simmons explained the process the auditorium staff uses to adjust the panels behind the stage so that the music is reflected back into the audience instead of it becoming lost into the vast dome.

The musicians would tune and play and the panels would be repositioned accordingly to achieve the best acoustics.

“They said, ‘How do you like that The Duke Jazz ensemble practices for an upcoming performance.

Renovated Baldwin Auditorium to host gala

by Madeleine Roberts The ChroniCle

The program will have an all-American theme, with iconic works such as Aaron Copland’s “Appalachian Spring” and “Knoxville, Summer of 1915” by Samuel Barber. Tenor and former Duke student Jason McStoots will sing.

This event has been in the works since last winter, and the credit of the planning goes to Music Department faculty members such as Jane hopkins, Jonathan Bagg, Scott lindroth and elizabeth Thompson.

According to Thompson, this is “a great chance [for students] to see their professors perform.”

Baldwin Auditorium’s season line-up is chock-full of musical talent. over the next couple of months, the events calendar includes acts such as “Parlor Songs of the Civil War” as well as performances by the Duke Wind Symphony, Duke Djembe and even the King’s Singers. Just last week, the venue hosted the author of the Class of 2017’s summer reading book, “let the Great World Spin,” for “A Conversation with Colum McCann.” earlier this summer, eric Pritchard of the Ciompi Quartet performed a mini-recital to give the Durham community a sneak peek into the space. With its loca-

tion on east Campus and its historical presence in the area, Baldwin is a huge asset for the surrounding Durham neighborhoods. When the building underwent renovation, “some patrons did not follow us to West Campus,” said Thompson, so Baldwin’s reopening has been highly anticipated.

The Ciompi Quartet will be performing once again at Baldwin a week after the gala, and large student ensembles will begin their performances by the end of october.

“A great concert hall actually has a hand in educating and improving the quality of the ensembles that play there because it allows them to hear themselves more clearly and to blend and shape their performances more easily,” sad Bagg.

Both the events calendar and the novelty of the cutting-edge acoustic space will draw the Duke and Durham community to see musical performances at Baldwin. As Thompson aptly put it, we’ll “finally come home to Baldwin.”

The Inaugural Gala will take place on Sept. 14 at 8 p.m.

General admission tickets are $10 and free for students. More information at http://www.music.duke.edu

on September 14, at the inaugural Gala Concert the Duke and Durham community will have an opportunity to see the renovated Baldwin Auditorium in its full musical force for the first time. Current upperclassmen all remember the beautiful Georgian building at the end of the east Campus quad, with its iconic Jeffersonian Dome—meant to be scaled before graduation—and how it was always closed for renovation, yet no changes were ever made to the outside. After two years and $15 million, Baldwin has opened its doors once again and is equipped with state-of-the-art features for the musical performances it will host throughout the year.

The building was erected in the 1930s as a 900seat venue for larger crowds and events. The acoustics, however, were lacking, which was attributed to the square shape of the building and to the prevalence of glass and hard plaster in the design. With such an important location for the Durham community and its close connection with the Duke Music Department, Baldwin underwent a huge remodeling to focus on modernizing its acoustic features.

These improvements include new curved surfaces made of wood for improved sound, a system of adjustable drapes that can meet the needs of different ensembles, an “acoustic canopy,” the installment of widespread accessibility measures and changes to the seating and general shape of the auditorium.

The stage has also been enlarged and now stands at around 2,000 square feet.

The most important change has been the transition of the space from square to rectangle, allowing for far better acoustics. “The acoustics are fantastic; it’s great for smaller chamber groups,” said elizabeth Thompson of the Duke Music Department. “it’s gorgeous inside.”

Jonathan Bagg, Duke music professor and Director of Chamber Music, expressed his excitement for the modernized auditorium. “it’s more fun to play in the hall,” said Bagg via e-mail. “i expect everyone’s enthusiasm will get a big boost from being inside the new Baldwin.”

As for the inaugural Gala, the program promises an engaging and inclusive night. “The mood is going to be very celebratory,” stated Bagg. “it’s a testament to the ability of the various parts of Duke to execute an idea together.” The event will feature a faculty quartet comprised of music department greats such as John Brown, rebecca Troxler and randall love. Baldwin’s new auditorium promises to host exciting shows for the new school year.

Three Lobed and WXDU bring Hopscotch day show

PJ SYKES/PJSYKES.COm

The Alan Bishop, Bill Orcutt, Chris Corsano Trio perform for the 2012 Three Lobed Hopscotch Day party at Kings.

by Kathy Zhou The ChroniCle

Whether you’ve snagged a one-day pass, a three-day pass or no pass at all, this weekend belongs to hopscotch Music Festival. This Friday, Three lobed recordings and WXDU will collaborate for the second time to host the third annual free day party at King’s Barcade in raleigh.

The north Carolina-based record label and Duke’s radio station have assembled a massive range of music. According to Cory rayborn, Duke alumnus and founder of Three lobed recordings, the mostly instrumental lineup will range from “solo electric guitar to solo

banjo” through “cacophonous, improvised guitar and drum explorations” to “punk or American acoustic,” creating an eclectic series of forty-minute sets.

The acts are all distinguished from the hopscotch Music Festival lineup— most of the performers will not play at hopscotch at all, aside from the day party. “it’s heavy on folks who are not playing the festival otherwise,” said rayborn. “if you don’t come to the day show, you’re not going to see these folks.”

“These folks” include the likes of Thurston Moore, most well known for his work with Sonic Youth, who will perform with John Moloney as the Caught on Tape Duo. Tom Carter will likely bring more experimental sounds with

his only solo show of the festival, and Jenks “horseback” Miller—a member of Durham’s Mount Moriah—will set the tone as the first act of the lineup.

“You show up, and you watch for forty minutes. Maybe you like it or you don’t.

The next thing’s probably totally new,” said Jake Cunnane, Duke senior and General Manager of WXDU. Cunnane references his own experience with the day party, explaining that it introduced him to an entirely new spectrum of music. “All that needs to connect with the music is one thing. if you respond really deeply to one thing, that’s enough. Durham is so interesting that way. You have a hardcore aggressive metal project, or a popular Merge [records] band; if you have any kind of investment at all, you have the chance to make it something broader.”

The day party connects the larger hopscotch Musical Festival to Durham’s backyard and adds in a Duke presence through the work of WXDU. “i have a big spot in my heart for ‘XDU,” said rayborn. “When i started my label in 2000, they were the first folks i provided material to.” The radio station will live-broadcast the entire program with snippets of commentary or spontaneous interviews with musicians, and merchandise will be available for purchase from all acts.

Black Twig Pickers will provide music between sets.

The indoor venue “fills up, but in an awesome way,” according to Cunnane,

who emphasized the inclusiveness and accessibility of the day show. Durham attendees can take the Bridge Bus to the show for “an introduction to Durham proper.” he explained that the day show provides an organic opportunity for audience members to be exposed to an entire network of musicians and to be a part of a “very participatory event and culture.”

The day show is complementary to the festival itself—which runs Thursday through Saturday nights—while offering unique and distinctive acts for even those without hopscotch wristbands.

Put on by a local record label and radio station, the event will be welcoming for an all-ages audience with the promise of the unexpected. “i just want everyone to see the music. i think it’s important that anyone who wants to see something should be able to see it,” said rayborn.

“When you come to school, there’s this clear expectation to move forward academically and socially,” said Cunnane. “But it’s equally important to take the same attitude toward culture. There are unprecedented opportunities; people with different tastes are all around, and Durham itself has such a wealth of things to take advantage of while you can. it’s a prime time.”

The Three Lobed Recordings / WXDU Hopscotch Day Show will be on Friday, Sept.

6 from noon to 5:30 p.m. Event is free and held at King’s Barcade in Raleigh. For more information, visit http://hopscotchmusicfest. com

Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya comes to Sheafer this November cast and crew prepare to push limits of traditional theater

by Jamie Kessler The Chronicle

Chekhov’s “Uncle Vanya” will make its Duke debut this November. The show is in the very early stages of rehearsal, but the performance promises to be a memorable one.

“I would go as far as to say that this is a nontraditional production, one that’s exploring a variety of ideas about what realism can be,” said director and Theater Studies professor, Jeff Storer.

Along with a fresh interpretation, Duke’s “Uncle Vanya” will incorporate live original music and a cast trained by a professional movement consultant.

However, the cast’s preparation does not end there. Every involved student, from the stage director to Uncle Vanya himself, is required to attend a course dedicated to the play. Storer will be teaching the class alongside the production’s dramaturg and Duke’s visiting lecturer Jules Odendahl-James.

This thorough approach is required in order to successfully use the talented cast and crew. Bart Matthews, a Duke graduate and freelance theater composer, will attend every rehearsal to write a carefully integrated score for the entire show.

“The more involved I am in the creative process from the theatrical point of view helps me to tailor the music to every moment—not just the traditional transitional music, but all the moments

Jamie KEssler/The Chronicle

Director Jeff Sorer, left, engages the Uncle Vanya cast in discussion about “Vanya on 42nd Street,” a film inspired by the play the group will put on in Novemeber. This was one of the first sessions of the Special Topics course that all members of the cast will attend this semester.

that could occur in between,” said Matthews. Storer and Matthews collaborated before on Duke’s 2011 production of “The Laramie Project.”

Matthews, who will perform his score live during the show, is also calling upon “Uncle Vanya” actors to help create the music, citing varied talents from vocals to violin.

The cast will be focused on not only lines and music, but movement as well.

Storer has selected a professional movement consultant from Brown University’s MFA program and the Trinity Repertory Company. The consultant also has a background in clowning, which will help the actors draw out the comedy from the piece. “‘Uncle Vanya’ will require students to play roles that are a great deal older

than themselves, and I think that movement is absolutely key to any process where actors are developing character,” said Storer.

The show has been conceived from every angle. Even the casting process was influenced by a variety of factors— Storer has double-cast certain leads and selected a multi-racial troupe.

“This cast reflects Duke University and I would not have chosen to do a play that was not a reflection of our student body,” Storer said. Similarly, one motivator for his choosing Chekhov was that “’Uncle Vanya’ seemed like a play everyone could get behind.”

Mike Myers, junior and a lead in the show, explained that he is excited to work with the piece. “It’s great to work with a classic play that we’ve all read and

that everybody knows. We do a lot of experimental theater in the department, but it’s nice sometimes to be rooted in the classics.”

Although it may seem that every aspect of the play has been thoroughly planned, one key component will be left up in the air.

“I love this play. I’m going to stay faithful to the adaptation, and tell the story with as much passion as I have for the play itself. What the audience takes away from the story, in the way we tell it, is up to them,” said Storer.

“Uncle Vanya” opens on Nov. 14 at 8 p.m. in the Sheafer Theater in the Bryan Center. For more information, visit http:// theaterstudies.duke.edu/productions

Film series come to Duke and Durham

by Megan Rise The Chronicle

Screen/Society collaborates with other Duke departments to present a variety of films in the Triangle area. Hank Okazaki, Exhibitions Programmer for the Arts of the Moving Image, describes the mission of Screen/Society as to show interesting, challenging or great works not normally screened in the area, and to have those screenings be free and open to the public.

The programs are also intended to promote film literacy and serve the campus community. Many of the films haven’t been shown in the triangle, and those that have, says Okazaki, “have reason to be shown again.”

AMI Student Film Festival The Program in Arts of the Moving Image (AMI) will present a selection of works produced in a wide variety of AMI courses during the spring 2013 semester. The short films, which amount to a program of close to one hour, were selected by faculty in the department from hours of student films.

The screening includes works by Kristin Bedford (MFA|EDA) ‘14, Ji Young Chun ‘14, Vivian Chung ‘16, Matthew Jones ‘14, Kristian King ‘13, Rebecca Lai ‘16, Natasia Leung ‘15, Winston Liu ‘14, Charlie Molthrop ‘14, Pitram Mathivana ‘15, Grace Oathout ‘16, Anthony Polizzi ‘14, Madeleine Pron ‘16, John Rash (MFA|EDA) ‘14, Evan Schwartz ‘13, Jen Skeritt ‘14 and Ashley Tsai ‘13.

The AMI Student Film Festival will show in Griffith on Tuesday, Sept. 3 at 7 p.m.

Middle East Film Series Screen/Society and the Nasher Museum of Art will screen several Middle Eastern films this fall. The first of these films is Gabbeh (1996), the second Iranian film ever to be widely distributed in the United States. What began as an ethnographic doc-

umentary about a tribe of nomads in Iran became much more. Director Mohsen Makhmalbaf, inspired by the gabbeh (carpets) the tribe made, weaves a fictionalized love story into his documentary, creating a tale of magical realism. The series aims to expose western audiences to cinema they likely haven’t had a chance to see before.

Further films will be announced shortly.

Gabbeh screens on Thursday, Sept. 5 at 7 p.m. in the Nasher.

Tournees French Film Festival The Tournees French Film Festival will bring five recent French movies to campus on Monday nights in September and October. The first of the films screened will be “Rust and Bone” (“De rouille et d’os”) (9/9), starring Academy Award-winner Marion Cotillard, and the experimental ode to cinema and genre entitled “Holy Motors!” (9/16). The other films that will be presented are “Polisse” (9/23), “Something in the Air” (“Après mai”) (9/30) and Marie Antoinette-based “Farewell, My Queen” (“Les adieux à la reine”) (10/7).

Two additional French films will be shown: “The Minister” (10/21) and “The Rabbi’s Cat” (10/28), the latter of which will be followed by a discussion. The festival, put on by the Center for French and Francophone Studies, Screen/Society, the Department of Romance Studies and the Program in the Study of Sexualities, is funded partially by grants from the French Ministry of Culture and the Cultural Services of the French Embassy.

Rights! Camera! Action! (RCA) Human Rights Film Series is back for another year. Since 2009, the Archives for Human Rights, the Duke Human Rights Center, the Franklin Humanities Institute and the

New Chicago program provides professional arts experience

Los Angeles and New York programs continue to provide immersive metropolitan semesters

by Lauren Feilich The Chronicle

Beginning in the summer of 2014, Duke will have a stake in the Midwest’s premier arts metropolis. A new program in Chicago will allow students to take the plunge into the intersection between the arts and entrepreneurship. For the duration of the six-week program, students will stay at the residence halls of Roosevelt University in downtown Chicago, taking part in an internship in the city as well as enrolling in two courses, taught by either Duke or University of Chicago faculty.

One course, called the stARTup Project, is a handson experience. Members of the program will work in small groups to produce an arts-based event from scratch. The event can involve anything from dance to music to visual art—whatever the students decide. “[Students will] figure out what it is, how to execute it, identify risky questions and test them, pitch the project ideas…They’ll have production meetings and a startup budget. They’ll have to decide what to do with it, and come up with marketing strategies. At the end of the term, they’ll present their work,” said Jody McAuliffe, Duke’s Chair of Theater Studies and Duke in Chicago’s faculty director.

The other course, The Economics of Art, will involve a variety of guest speakers, some of whom are Duke alumni, associated with theater, arts, advertising, writing, communications, production, design and comedy. “The students will be getting a lot of ideas from the guests who come to talk to them.

[They will be] learning what skills they can combine with artistic abilities, or love of the arts if they aren’t artists themselves, if they just haven’t yet figured out how to make a career out of it,” said McAuliffe.

Through Duke in Chicago, students will learn “not only from the artists themselves, but from the business people who fund, produce and market the arts,” according to Amanda Kelso, the Executive Director of the Global Education Office for Undergraduates, in an email. “Our other arts programs in New York and London are incredible in their own ways, but Chicago’s appeal will be its entrepreneurial approach to arts management and its emphasis on learning by doing,” wrote Kelso.

Creators of the program hope to attract applicants across the wide spectrum of Duke’s academic disciplines. “We’re extremely flexible in terms of whatever majors students have,” said McAuliffe. Regardless of chosen major, entrepreneurial skills and experience in collaboration are relevant to Duke’s emphasis on a liberal arts education for its students.

“Anybody with any passion or interest in any of the arts, whether they do it themselves or love it, would benefit highly,” said McAuliffe.

Students spend that time living in the city, enrolled in classes at New York University and/or with the supervising Duke professor and holding an internship. The program gives students the oppotunity to work in the fields that they study at Duke, offering them professional experience. While Duke in New York Arts & Media is currently in progress, students are not too late to choose to apply to the Duke in NY summer program.

Duke in Los Angeles is offered as a sping study away program. Students enroll at the University of Southern California while also taking classes with the supervising Duke professors and holding an internship.

Center for Documentary Studies erects Gaskin Photo Display

by Anton Saleh The ChroniCle

The Center for Documentary Studies (CDS) at Duke University partners biannually with the honickman Foundation to award the First Book Prize in Photography. last year, that prestigious honor went to photographer Gerard h. Gaskin. in recognition of this achievement, CDS will display a series of his work, which incorporates both black-and-white and color photography, titled “legendary: inside the

Ballroom Scene.” The exhibition will go up this november and is expected to run until February 2014.

The CDS show involves a collection of images that Gaskin has compiled throughout his twenty years of experience documenting counterculture. he created his collection by attending unique events where members of the lGBTQ community gathered to engage in activities that allowed them to express themselves and their culture. Gaskin celebrates

these moments by preserving them through his camera, and his documentation is a symbol of the continual progress across the United States.

Gaskin’s usage of radiant color in contrast to his black-and-white photography takes us inside various cultures and even introduces his viewers to civil movements, including the fight for gay rights.

Gaskin is a well-traveled photographer and has documented minorities from all around the U.S. Gaskin’s works are

world renowned, and he has been featured in newspapers and magazines including the new York Times, newsday and Teen People.

Additionally, Gaskin’s photographs have been featured in exhibitions across the country, making their way into many famous museums such as the Brooklyn Museum and The Queens Museum of Art. notably, his work has also appeared at the Black Magic Woman Festival in Amsterdam, holland. in 2002, Gaskin won

KING KRULE 6 Feet Beneath The Moon True Panther

by Derek Saffe

Duke Chapel Choir and Orchestra Pro Cantores Rodney Wynkoop, Conductor David Arcus, Continuo

The ChroniCle

King Krule, Archy Marshall’s artistic alias, has carved himself as an iconoclastic figure. he was raised in artistically fertile South london and first gained blogosphere prominence under the moniker ‘Zoo Kid’ before finally choosing King Krule as his nickname in 2011. his lanky, fragile 19-year-old body with a freckled, pale visage speaks little to the rich jarring baritone that erupts from him when he performs.

Marshall infuses his work with a variety of disparate genres. “6 Feet Beneath the Moon,” his first-full length album as King Krule, serves as an index of the exciting teenager’s first heavily-scrutinized release. The record was produced by Marshall himself as well as rodaidh McDonald, who has also helped produce albums for The xx and Savages. “6 Feet Beneath the Moon” retains the minimalist voice-in-a-vacuum quality that has spread from McDonald’s efforts to many other darkwave and indie acts like holy Ghost and how to Dress Well. in interviews, Archy Marshall is at ease while discussing the afrobeat and jazz styling of Fela Kuti and Chet Baker respectively—yet his sonic vision also incorporates many tropes found in london’s lush underground electronic scene like breakbeat kick-drums and pitch-modulated vocals. he coalesces these influences into his production and flows weary laments over them to striking, and often-incisive effect.

“6 Feet Beneath the Moon” launches with his most assured effort yet, ‘easy easy.’ There is a dark lyricism that diffuses into the guitar riffs and is the perfect setting for his voice’s jaded supplications—”And easy

Theater Department supports playwright

by Megan Rise The Chronicle

Sibyl Kempson described her upcoming play “Let Us Now Praise Susan Sontag” in an email: “When difficult situations such as the abject conditions of poverty are articulated to the wider public in a mode of high art, aesthetics and ethics collide in a way that can erase our ethical response - depending on how poetic the reporting. The reports are moving, but too beautiful to move us to action. This piece is an irrational response to that collision and its limits, with help from the journals of Symbolist painter Odilon Redon, The NEW American Machinists Handbook, and ancient Assyrian mythology, and then shoved into the strict alchemical formulae of the Broadway musical.”

Kempson is an experimental playwright who has worked with Elevator Repair Service, a group that almost came to Duke and includes a Duke alum. She is a 2010 MacDowell Colony Fellow, a member of the New Dramatists class of ‘17 and a 2013 McKnight National Resident and Commissionee. Her plays have been performed at a number of venues, from the Fusebox Festival in Austin, Texas to the Theater Bonn in Germany.

Kempson, who earned her MFA from Brooklyn College, is coming to the university for a residency from September 16th through September 28th to develop “Let Us Now Praise Susan Sontag” through Theater Previews New Works Lab. Theater Previews New Works Lab aims to bring in playwrights and allow them to develop and nurture their pieces in a different environment. Kempson follows a long line of Theater Previews

playwrights, including Milo Cruz and Jose Rivera. Her residency will involve a period of workshopping and “working in the room live, writing and rewriting,” according to Jody McAuliffe, Professor of the Practice of Theater Studies and Chair of Theater Studies. During her residency, Kempson will also meet with classes, engage students in preparation of her play and stage a two-night reading of her work-in-progress.

“We’ve had many male playwrights come to campus in the past and we’re excited to bring in a woman playwright,” said McAuliffe. It is especially important for this work in particular, as it references the presentation of “truth”—documentary photography and maps—by men.

“Let Us Now Praise Susan Sontag” is a commission for NYC Players. The play was written by Kempson using source material from James Agee’s “Let Us Now Praise Famous Men” and “Land and Life”

by Karl Sauer. The title references famous critic, filmmaker and writer Susan Sontag—McAuliffe said that the play will most likely focus on “the Sontag material, geography, land, and Walker Evans.”

Walker Evans was a photographer featured in the well-known “Let Us Now Praise Famous Men.” In “Let Us Now Praise Susan Sontag,” Kempson will explore ethical issues of documenting life.

Sontag wrote extensively on Evans’s photographs of the Depression-era South in her collection of essays entitled “On Photography,” criticizing the exploitation of photographic subjects through manipulative documentary. The debate about what is right and wrong in documentation of sensitive subjects endures.

Sontag famously likened the camera to a

gun, and delved into controversial issues about the supposed truth of photography and the role of responsibility toward a subject. She critiqued the assumed moral immunity that a camera seems to give photographers; in “On Photography” she wrote, “The camera is a kind of passport that annihilates moral boundaries and social inhibitions, freeing the photographer from any responsibility toward the people photographed.” By bringing in issues of how people are photographed and how they are perceived by the viewer, Kempson will bring Sontag’s criticism to life in another medium.

Choreographer David Neumann will collaborate with Kempson on dance portions of her work. Additionally, two dance students, one of whom is a dancer from the American Dance Festival held in Durham each summer, will be working with Neumann and Kempson. They are bringing in local actor and Duke alum Carl Martin, who teaches at the Durham School of the Arts, to act in the performance. There will be several students involved in the development of Kempson’s work, including students in the Masters of Fine Arts Program and PhD in Visual Studies, as well as undergraduates. McAuliffe described the collaborators as an “interestingly mixed group of people.”

By using wide-ranging source material and bringing in many facets of art and performance, Kempson’s “Let Us Now Praise Susan Sontag” will likely be a dynamic look at the morality of a variety of subjects.

Kempson’s two-week residency will culminate in two performances of “Let Us Now Praise Susan Sontag” on September 27 and 28.

come and easy go/We aren’t true I told you so”—to some mysterious person on the phone with him.

On ‘Baby Blue,’ Marshall howls adolescent romantic melancholy into the cold night air of his lyrical world. His voice—though rich—is too abrasive to be romantic in any traditional sense.

There’s a vitality that lingers, yet too often fades, which grabs at you when you’re listening. This waning energy in his performance is where many of the other songs, which may have broken the cusp from good to great—like ‘Baby Blue’ and ‘Has this Hit?’—falter.

King Krule’s fusillade of Morrisseyesque wails overpowers but still complements the curated instrumentals, and is his most treasured talent. He works best in songs that capture the resonance of his vocal skills like the prominently guitar-based ‘Out Getting Ribs’ and the jazz hip-hop inflected ‘Neptune Estate.’ On ‘Neptune Estate,’ Marshall exhibits astounding feel for his lyrics, even making a line like “corrosively tread through emotionally spoon-fed purpose” sound soulful.

Archy Marshall is comparable to Ty Segall’s place as rising star of the garage rock scene here in the states.

They are both reinvigorating the indie scenes, Segall with his energetic output rich in quantity and quality and Marshall with his increasing presence that has been lauded by fellow contemporary star Frank Ocean. “6 Feet Beneath the Moon” is a unique glimpse into the beginning stages of one of the most promising characters in music.
