from the director Dear Friends, I love the divine sense of the Lawrence Arts Center. I’m in our theater on a catwalk watching a rehearsal for our Pinocchio directed by Ric Averill. The performances will be over when you read this, but perhaps you will have seen our new creation of the classic tale with Spencer Lott, visiting puppeteer from New Victory Theater in NYC, Arts Center dancers and actors of all ages, and original music by Lawrence’s Drakkar Sauna. Our Creative Observer exhibition is closing after two months of art, films, conversation, music, and lectures inspired by William Burroughs, one of Lawrence’s most famous citizens who, according to Norman Mailer, “is the only American novelist who may conceivably be possessed by genius.” Opinions on this diverge, but history and popular culture prove that dissenters, demurrers, and different thinkers are drawn to our town, as was Burroughs, and whatever the reason, it is distilled at our Arts Center.

Much Madness is divinest Sense – To a discerning Eye – Much Sense – the starkest Madness – ’Tis the Majority In this, as all, prevail – Assent - and you are sane – Demur – you’re straightway dangerous – And handled with a Chain – — Emily Dickinson

Theaters, dance studios, art rooms, galleries, and other creative spaces have always been havens for different thinkers, and we see this every day in children, teenagers, and adults who inhabit the Lawrence Arts Center. We teach serious artistic practice in dance, theater, and visual arts; we teach academic subjects, such as physics, history, reading, chemistry, and writing, in arts immersive environments; and we offer a place for those who hear the beats of different drummers and those who “demur.” (In the theater, visual art, dance, we can demur, but honestly, so our noses do not grow.) It’s madness to obsessively write poetry; to stay on stage late into the night with a dance instructor, a puppeteer, a cellist, and a kazoo player, or to lose sleep firing a kiln, or to give voice to iconoclastic artists, to create space and time for all the varied carols of the world; or to turn trash and found objects into elements of a sculpture for preschoolers, but it is beautiful to do so, and we cannot help but do it, and according to Emily Dickinson, it makes divine sense.*

The Lawrence Arts Center leads the way in taking STEM to STEAM. In 2009, the White House and the United States Department of Education challenged the nation to find innovative, rigorous ways to teach Science, Technology, Engineering and Math to youth. Acknowledging the vital role art has in teaching innovative and creative thinking, the Art Space program places the Lawrence Arts Center at the epicenter of the movement to add an “A” for “art,” turning STEM into STEAM. Art Space is the Arts Center’s integrated visual art and science program for students 1st -5th grades. Based on the idea that critical thinking, problem solving, and the ability to innovate are essential skills in all educational environments, Arts Space is an inspired learning environment in which students try new things, test the limits of their imaginations, practice innovation, and build creative connections. Art Space summer camps focus on a key principle of art and connect art concepts with scientific concepts, under a cultural theme relevant to young people. Camps are team-taught and designed to balance experiences in visual art with performing arts. Scientists-in-residence work with instructors and students to connect art with scientific concepts in an atmosphere in which students apply creativity in a new context. Camps often incorporate visits by artists and STEM professionals. This integrated science and art curriculum meets national art education and science standards and was developed for the program through a grant from the Elizabeth Schultz Foundation of the Douglas County Community Foundation, Tradewind Energy, Enel Green Power, Hill’s Pet Nutrition, and Target. Reading lists and classroom reference material provided by the Lawrence Public Library. All students should bring a healthy snack for mid-morning and the afternoon, and a sack lunch. No soda, please. Sessions are 9am-4pm, with a break for lunch at 12-1pm with Arts Center staff. class listings next page!

Monty Python’s Spamalot Book & Lyrics by Eric Idle Music by John Du Prez & Eric Idle • From the Original Screenplay Monty Python and the Holy Grail Directed by Will Averill • Musical Direction by Mary Baker • Orchestra Conducted by Ric Averill Lovingly ripped off from the classic film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot is the award-winning Broadway musical that riffs the legendary tale of King Arthur’s quest to find the Holy Grail. Diverting a bit from the true story, this hilarious musical features such oddities as a line of beautiful dancing girls, a flatulent Frenchmen, the Knights that say “Ni” and killer rabbits.

Final Friday Reception April 25, 5-7pm

This exhibition features five artists working to capture the unknown through abstracted natural forms in the medium of drawing. The group’s work questions the roots of perception and the observable universe, attempting to unravel reality through the act of drawing. While their processes range from obsessively analytical to the purely expressive, these five artists oscillate between clarity and chaos, using the medium of drawing as a source of inquiry into matter, consciousness, and energy.
