Great Artists Series Presents A Dynamic Explosion of Dance April 28 • 7:30 p.m.

A

smoldering mix of exciting beautiful dancers celebrate the diversity of their cultural and physical uniqueness as the Great Artists Series presents Complexions Contemporary Ballet, 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 28 in the Stanley Theatre.

Founded by two former Alvin Ailey members, Complexions performs brilliant choreography that expresses the political, social and emotional issues of our time. Their groundbreaking mix of methods, styles, and cultures has created an entirely new and exciting vision of human movement transcending all styles, periods, venues, and cultures, creating an open, evolving form of dance that reflects all movement of our world.

A preconcert talk with the artists or their tour staff takes place in the Romano Room at 6:45 p.m. Questions are encouraged; seating is limited. For tickets contact the Performing Arts Ticket Office at 797-0055 or 800-754-0797 or the Stanley Theatre at 724-4000. Tickets are also available online at www.mwpai.org or through any TicketMaster outlet.

Mix of Musical Styles in Concerts in the Court April 14 • 8 p.m.

F

olk, pop-rock, and classic jazz styles are explored as Concerts in the Court presents eclectic singer-songwriter Susan Werner 8 p.m. Saturday, April 14 in the Museum of Art. Born around 1965 in Manchester, Iowa, Werner grew up on her family's hog farm but took to singing rather than farming. A concert by Texas singersongwriter Nanci Griffith unleashed Werner's own creativity. She began appearing at coffeehouses around Philadelphia and New York, and in 1993 she recorded her first album, Midwestern Saturday Night, on her own label.

Over the course of her colorful career, Werner has cultivated a reputation as a daring and innovative performer with an unforgettable live show. She weaves old with new to create new musical genres when existing ones don’t suit her muse -

keeping audiences simultaneously guessing and laughing.

Tickets for this performance and all Concerts in the Court are $25 for Members, $30 for General admission, $15 for Member students and $20 for General students. The Museum opens at 7 p.m. so patrons may view the current exhibitions, socialize and visit the Gift Gallery. Concerts in the Court also feature a cash bar and special gallery talks at intermission. For tickets contact the Performing Arts Ticket Office at 797-0055 or 800-754-0797.

Tickets are also available online at www.mwpai.org.

Slow Art Day

Word and Image Combine in Exhibition Organized by Area Students O p e n i n g G a l l e r y Ta l k T h u r s d a y, A p r i l 5 • 5 : 3 0 p . m .

S

aturated Sight: Works of Many Dimensions from the Collection of the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute presents works of art that express meaning by moving beyond the basic principles of two- and three-dimensional objects. Text is an integral part of each of the works; from the formal calligraphy in a 15th-century illuminated manuscript to a late 19th-century iron garden bench that casts the word “Fern” in shadow on the ground below.

Reading the texts, and in one case, also listening to music, introduces the element of time, known as the fourth dimension.

Saturated sight, is a quote from the poem by Emily Dickenson in contemporary artist Elaine Reichek’s embroidery sampler in the exhibition, and seems to characterize an effect the objects share: layering, texture, and visual density.

April 28 Museum of Art Galleries 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Tramontane Café 1 to 2 p.m.

T

he Museum of Art will again join the ranks of many other worldwide sites -from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, to the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra - for Slow Art Day.

It's a basic idea and a simple process, born of a desire to encourage people to take some time to look at art. Across the globe on Saturday, April 28, volunteer hosts (not necessarily experts) invite people to visit a local museum and view a small number of works of art, on their own, for five to 10 minutes each. Then everyone meets for lunch at a nearby cafe to talk about their experiences. Slow Art Day originated with four people in the summer of 2009 at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. With the success of that first, small experiment the organizers attempted a larger event in October 2009, which featured 16 museums and galleries in the U.S., Canada and Europe. Attendee feedback was so enthusiastic that Slow Art Day has become an annual global event.

To participate in Utica Slow Art Day, register at slowartutica2011.eventbrite.com. Participants will receive an email two weeks before the day with details about the artworks to view between 11 am and 1 pm. The artworks will be discussed at lunch at the Tramontane Café, 1105 Lincoln Avenue, just two blocks from MWPAI. More information is available at www.slowartday.com.

The students, Jack Hauck and Kaitlin Rutledge from Robert Cottingham, American, (b.1935), Art, Sauquoit Valley, Gabrielle Kinney from Herkimer, Nick 1992, Color lithograph on BFK Rives paper, overall: 46 x 46in. (116.8 x 116.8cm), Museum Murphy from Clinton, and Purchase, 92.43 Alexa Wichowsky from Mt. Markham, worked together with MWPAI staff on all aspects of producing the exhibition, from selecting the objects to presenting the opening gallery talk. They began by meeting with museum curators and reviewing objects in the museum’s collection. In subsequent meetings the students met and worked with other museum staff to learn about each person’s career background and role at the museum. The students completed regular assignments and participated in art research, publication design, marketing, exhibition layout and installation, object label writing, and audioguide production for the exhibition.

For more information about the program, contact Museum Education Director, April Oswald, at 797-0000 ext. 2144, or aoswald@mwpai.org.

Upon the opening of the exhibition, listen to the exhibition audioguide at www.mwpai.org/museum/events.

The program is sponsored by HSBC Bank, USA, N.A.

From MWPAI to Juilliard and Beyond

W

hile many senior high school students await the news from colleges at this time each year, dancers of all ages at MWPAI are collectively holding their breath for the outcome of the audition season for prestigious summer dance programs. Intensive summer dance programs lasting from one to eight weeks have become increasingly competitive and an important component of a dancers’ training.

Preparations for the auditions started early in January at the MWPAI Dance Building with an “Arabesque Workshop”—the required classical pose by which all dancers are measured. The photograph in arabesque is often the first introduction to a dancer’s training and physique; within this one pose, a trained eye can gauge a dancer’s proportions, flexibility and control. Of course, it’s the audition itself that ultimately determines the outcome. But when the competition is close, it’s often the photograph that helps reinforce the decision to accept a student.

Technology played a huge roll in the workshop. Dancers met in small groups with Nancy Long, MWPAI Professor of Dance, who took photographs of the students for immediate review. Dancers learned from critiques of their peers and the photographs. By the end of the week 17

dancers were ready to apply and audition to the program of their choice.

By mid-February there were celebrations and consolations. Like college, dancers are encouraged to apply to a reach school, a challenge school and a safe school.

MWPAI Dance Program is proud to announce that the following dancers will be attending the schools of their choice: Hannah Straney, Juilliard; Elizabeth Andrews, Alvin Ailey; Alex Waterbury, Chautauqua; Anna McEvoy-Melo,Ellison Ballet; Angela Mia Belmonte, Mary McEvoy-Melo, Chloe Ford, Allison Swider, Saratoga Summer Dance Intensive. Colleen Ashmore, Katherine Elacqua, Olivia Aceto, Marissa Piccola, Megan Raab, Juliana and Isabelle Fulop will all attend the American Academy at Purchase College. Auditions for students pursuing modern dance will be notified in March, they are: Hannah Hage, Cassie Bushey, and Maria Panuccio.
