Collaborative Reform

!"!#$%&!'()'*+",($*'-"+'+#-"+! .$/'0#%%#+'1"!!&$(%2'+#3.%("$) ::BY ELIZABETH ELVING

YEAHORSE

n February, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Wisconsin released reports saying the Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) made more than 350,000 unjustified pedestrian and traffic stops between 2010 and 2017, targeting black and Latino residents. These findings are part of a class action lawsuit that the ACLU filed against the MPD last year, alleging that the department’s stop-and-frisk policy is unconstitutional and racially discriminatory. The ACLU reports come at a time when Milwaukee’s police-community relations are being heavily scrutinized and, many hope, reformed.

In 2015, following the fatal shooting of Dontre Hamilton, then-Police Chief Edward Flynn requested a U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) review of the city’s community policing strategies. The review was officially discontinued in 2017, but a draft report of its findings—leaked and obtained by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel—showed a lack of trust between Milwaukee communities and the MPD. While no official assessment was ever released, the DOJ review has had an impact nonetheless, spurring a collective effort among government agencies and community groups to reform the MPD’s approach.

“I think [the DOJ report] truly underscored the challenges that exist in the department,” says Darryl Morin of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC).

“It accelerated the process of change, which can benefit not just the community but also the police, who are part of the community.”

Milwaukee Women Slowly Advancing into Skilled Trades

!"#!$%&'($ )*+*,,"-./%)--0$ 1-2,$%)-3"4*$ -%%-)56."5"*, ::BY CATHERINE JOZWIK

Workers in these fields are often in demand and unionized. As these jobs can" not be outsourced, careers in these fields can frequently be recession-proof. And although women in the workforce now have signifi" cantly more career options than their mothers and grandmothers did, many skilled trades are still male-dominated. For example, only around 10% of welders in the Milwaukee area are women, estimates Sue Silverstein, weld" ing instructor and program chair at Milwau" kee Area Technical College (MATC). “There are still these social norms,” she said.

However, the number of women entering trades such as welding and carpentry has in" creased over the years, according to Doro" thy Walker, MATC interim dean of technol" ogy and applied sciences. Walker said that, because many women are now aware of the salaries and benefits skilled trades can offer, more are enrolling in degree, diploma and apprenticeship programs. “If you’re going to work hard, you might as well work hard and have a good salary,” she said. “These are ar" eas where women can be successful—they are recession-proof, stable careers.”

Walker, a former welder and welding in" structor herself, initially decided to pursue the trade because of its attractive pay and job op" portunities in the field.

A single mother at the time, having a job that enabled her to support her family was important. Walker began teaching welding at MATC in 1979 and eventually worked her way up to interim dean. Both Walker and Sil" verstein said women can excel in trades such as welding. Many women have good manual dexterity and pay close attention to detail— qualities that help in the classroom and on 8 | APRIL 5, 2018

the job, according to Silverstein. Walker also noted several events that help bring awareness of the school’s trade offerings to female high school students and younger girls.

Heavy Metal Tours allows both male and female high school students to explore MATC’s Energy Conservation and Advanced Manufacturing Center at the college’s Oak Creek campus. As part of the tour, students also visit local manufacturing companies such as Krones, Inc. In addition, MATC invites Girl Scouts to tour the campus and participate in hands-on trade activities, such as changing car oil in an automotive classroom or build" ing a birdhouse in a carpentry classroom.

MATC will also be offering two makerspace workshops, for middle school and high school girls, this summer—along with a week-long robotics camp for high school girls.

Breaking Stereotypes

“That is a huge hit,” said Nutan Amrute, coordinator of nontraditional occupations at the college. She added that experiences such as these help young students change their perspectives of tradespeople and scientists being male. “We try to break the stereotype.”

Female instructors—themselves experienced journeypersons—teach welding, sheet metal, tool and die and other courses at MATC. “We consistently hire women instructors so we can attract and work with more women,” said Walker. Although more women have chosen careers in skilled trades, many feel that they have to work doubly hard as their male coun" terparts to command respect on the job.

and she has been the recipient of challenging stares. “They want to know what brought me there; they assume I’m going to say that my dad was a carpenter or something like that.”

Kilp encouraged women entering the field to go in without preconceived notions of how they will be treated by male coworkers. “What helped me is that I showed up every day, did my job and worked hard. People respected me for that,” she said.

Denise Tyson, who’s been working as an electrician for nearly 30 years, said women may have misconceptions about her line of work. “You don’t have to be a big guy. Wom" en can definitely do this job,” she said. Tyson added that much of the job requires brainpow" er rather than physical strength. “Women have a right to these jobs and the skills for them,” she said. Acting professionally in the work" place is paramount to being taken seriously, according to Tyson. “I watch what I say at work and am very careful about joking around with my co-workers,” she said.

It’s her achievements, knowledge and spe" cialized skills that have helped her command respect from men working in her profession, she says. Now a master electrician, Tyson emphasizes the importance of the designation and receiving additional education in her field of work when it comes to enhancing profes" sional credibility. “Having the master’s cre" dential really helps,” she said. “It evens out the playing field.”

Kimberly Kotvis, a service consultant at Hyundai in Milwaukee, was the only woman in her automotive technology associate degree

Also, fewer young people are entering the trades right after high school, as many attend four-year universities. “It’s a shame, because you can make good money,” Goggins said. Apprenticeships also allow students to be paid while attending classes, typically one day a week. “There aren’t many careers where you can do that.”

Kate Kilp, a framing carpenter at Side by Side Construction based in Fond du Lac, Wis., agreed, although she feels some take it too far: “Sometimes, women try to prove themselves too much, overcompensate and act bossy.”

Although she is the only female carpenter in her workplace, Kilp said she has been treated well by her employer. “They’re really nice. I haven’t had any negative experiences so far, although I was expecting that,” she said.

Kilp noted that men working in other trades tend to be surprised to see her on job sites,

program at MATC, but she said she didn’t receive any special treatment because of her gender. “It was a fantastic experience,” she said. “Teachers were tough but fair.” Apart from one negative experience, Kotvis hasn’t experienced discrimination from customers in her line of work. Rather, people—women in particular—are surprised and even pleased to have a woman working on their cars. “A lot of women seem to trust women more with their cars. They get excited when they see a woman tech,” she says.

Kotvis did feel that she had to prove her worth to her male coworkers, but that her hard work and determination have earned her re" spect. Automotive repair is a field that’s everevolving and always in demand. As she says, “Between hybrid cars, touch screens and elec" trical [systems], you’re always learning new things.”

Ann Goggins has been working as a tool and die maker for Harley-Davidson in Mil" waukee for more than two decades. When she first started in her position, she said, her male coworkers didn’t quite know how to act around her. “They were quiet, kind of uneasy.

I think HR went in there and read them the riot act before I got there. It took them a long time to warm up,” she recalled. A maintenance toolmaker, she makes fixtures for motorcycles such as connecting rods and cylinder heads.

Most people, she said, are either surprised or confused by the tool and die job title. “They think I make screwdrivers or something,” said Goggins.

With manufacturing jobs being shipped overseas, the tool and die industry is less robust than it used to be, according to Gog" gins. Also, fewer young people are entering the trades right after high school, as many attend four-year universities. “It’s a shame, because you can make good money,” she said. Apprenticeships also allow students to be paid while attending classes, typically one day a week. “There aren’t many careers where you can do that.”

Thick Skin Needed

After more than 30 years working in a tra" ditionally male-dominated occupation—the Tree Division of the City of Milwaukee For" estry Department—Deb Stamp has learned to deal with a lot. From extreme weather condi" tions and other environmental hazards to some unenlightened male coworkers, her profession requires that she be resilient. “You grow a thick skin after a while,” she said. “There are people that believe women shouldn’t be doing this kind of work.”

Stamp, who has been a crew leader for around 20 years, said typical job duties con" sist of trimming and planting trees through" out the city and snowplowing in the winter.

The training process for new hires is arduous (climbing tall trees is required), but Stamp said the program is one of the best in the na" tion. As the forestry department is integral to snow removal and the jobs cannot be shipped overseas, Stamp feels that this career path is pretty stable. She advises women entering the forestry field to stick with the training, even when it gets tough. “Do everything they ask of you and stick it out,” she said.

Working in a trade can be the key to finan" cial independence, Silverstein said. She added that women in trades need not be concerned with receiving pay equal to their male co" workers: “You make the exact same amount of money as a man.” Peer pressure in high school may be a reason fewer women go into trades, but Silverstein is hoping that will change in the future. “Millennials are a generation of change. They are more accepting.” !"##$%&'(&')*$+*$,-$.+,$))/0"#/!n SHEPHERD EXPRESS

The Most Anti-Education Governor in Wisconsin History::BY JOEL MCNALLY

G

et this. Republican Gov. Scott Walker, the most anti-education governor in Wisconsin history, actually expects voters in this election year to believe his reelection will usher in an era of “historic investment” in public education. Walker’s entire career as governor had been based on the largest state disinvestment in public education since time began.

Does he seriously expect the entire population to be struck with collective amnesia about his gutting of state spending on education, about his vicious attacks on teachers and about his absurd attempt to remove the century-old Wisconsin Idea from state law that specifically defined the university’s mission as extending “training and public service designed to educate people and improve the human condition” and delve into “the search for truth”?

Walker, a college dropout, wasted no time launching his anti-education agenda the moment he became governor in 2011. He immediately established his national reputation as a budget-

slashing conservative with a law destroying union bargaining rights for teachers and other public employees throughout the state. He then continued dismantling institutions of learning with his first budget whacking an unprecedented $1.1 billion from education at every level, including more than $300 million from the University of Wisconsin. Two years later, Walker kicked the university in the teeth again by slashing another $250 million from UW and freezing tuition.

Then, suddenly last year, Walker increased funding for public elementary and secondary schools by $200 per pupil—followed by another $200 per pupil increase this year. Where in the world did that come from? Well, literally, it was originally proposed by Tony Evers, the state superintendent of schools, who is now a strong candidate seeking the Democratic Party’s nomination to oppose Walker in November.

Devastating Budget Cuts But as Evers points out, state educational funding, adjusted for inflation, is still lower than it was before Walker’s devastating, scorchedearth, anti-education budgets began taking shape eight years ago. “He can pretend all he wants,” Evers said. “He has now funneled all this money into schools, but it is not back where it was.

People get it, and they remember.”

But Walker now recognizes the growing anger and activism from teachers and communities in Wisconsin and many other states run by Republicans around the country. A recent Marquette University law school poll found

that 63% of state voters would choose increased spending on public schools over cutting property taxes—up from 46% in 2014. If you think that sounds unlikely, you’re wrong; it’s happened.

Since Walker’s been governor, voters in hundreds of local school districts throughout the state have approved spending in referenda raising billions of dollars in increased property taxes for their schools. Walker and Republican legislators required those referenda in the belief taxpayers would defeat additional school spending. Once again, Republicans find themselves politically on the wrong side of history.

A successful strike by literally impoverished teachers in conservative West Virginia is sparking similar activism among other poorly paid teachers around the country. Teachers—the well-educated professionals we depend upon to impart knowledge to our children and help shape their young lives—shouldn’t have to sell their blood or rely on food banks to survive.

Hatred for Education Walker’s unhealthy denigration of education as a state priority already has taken a terrible toll on Wisconsin. The latest national embarrassment was a proposal from UW-Stevens Point to drop 13 humanities and social science majors— including English, history, philosophy, political science, geography, sociology, art, American studies and the languages Spanish, French and German. All of which raises the question: How does a university that fails to offer such studies continue to call itself a university?

The Stevens Point administration says it prefers programs with “clear career pathways” that it believes will reverse declining enrollments and begin to chip away at a multimillion-dollar deficit that has resulted from

Walker’s catastrophic educational budget cuts.

The immediate uproar from students, faculty and alumni has prompted the Stevens Point administration to agree to consider alternative proposals that wouldn’t include eliminating so many entire fields of what most people consider to be an education.

The hostility of Walker and other Republicans toward liberal arts education probably stems from confusion over the word “liberal.” It has nothing to do with indoctrination by subversive, left-wing professors. A liberal arts education originally referred to the subjects of study that were considered essential for a free person.

Republicans claim they absolutely adore freedom, although they’re primarily concerned with freedom from taxation and freedom from regulation of corrupt or environmentally destructive business practices.

We need a governor who invests in education at every level: basic education in early childhood; elementary and secondary schools; the state’s technical college system providing vocational training for those “clear career pathways”; and elite university and post-graduate education and research creating high-paying jobs that never existed before.

We need this investment not just when the Republican governor is facing reelection and not just because his Democratic opponent could end up being a highly qualified educator at a time when the most anti-education governor in Wisconsin history has put his state’s entire educational system in jeopardy.

REPUBLICANS FOCUSED ON CORPORATE GIVEAWAYS AND FAVORS TO SPECIAL INTERESTS ::BY CHRIS LARSON

L

ike we have seen over the past eight years with Republicans controlling almost the entirety of state government, this session of the legislature ended with a GOP focused on a toxic and dysfunctional agenda of special interest giveaways, corporate pandering, environmental destruction and blocking firearm reform. It is the same agenda they have pursued since grabbing power and which has consistently resulted in cuts to education that are never restored, the fastest-shrinking middle class in the nation and reckless environmental deregulation.

The session which ended on Thursday, March 22, saw a school safety package without proposals for commonsense gun reform; the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dark Store Loopholeâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;used by big box stores to lower property taxesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;left wide open; and a Republican Party disorganized and fighting among themselves.

As it became apparent that voters across the country were rejecting the failed agenda of Republicans, they reached across the aisle and took Democratic ideas and solutions. A bill to create a pilot program aimed at assisting veterans who are suffering from mental health or substance abuse issues was passed. We also finally closed the troubled youth facility Lincoln Hills, which they had been ignoring for eight years, and we made it a felony to purchase a firearm on behalf of someone who is not legally allowed to own one. However, there were many issues the Republicans ignored this session, like compassionate immigration laws, real solutions for lead pipe remediation in Milwaukee and real solutions for the everwidening opioid crisis in Wisconsin.

Republicans Give Away the Farm to Foxconn In what would turn out to eclipse even the budget this year, Republicans wrote the biggest corporate giveaway in U.S. history to Foxconn. In a true example of the sunk-cost fallacy, Republicans keep piling bad decision after worse and throwing good money after bad; like wearing an amateur bee beard and then deciding to enter a honey eating competition. Republicans are hoping that the average taxpayer will not realize just how bad the deal they made behind closed doors is, and which was roughly sketched out on a table napkin.

Not only is the corporate giant profiting from more than $4 billion in taxpayer funds, but Foxconn was also exempted from nearly SHEPHERD EXPRESS

all environmental laws relevant to its business.

It will even seek to divert 7 million gallons of water daily from Lake Michiganâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;returning only a fraction and with no certainty of noncontamination. The fact is, this fiasco has become so unpopular that Gov. Walker and legislative Republicans never seem to mention it anymore. In fairness, if I had written this blank check, I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk about it, either.

Caving to Corporate Polluters; Rolling Back Environmental Protections When the mining industry said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jump!â&#x20AC;?

Wisconsin Republicans again asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;How high?â&#x20AC;? killing the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prove It Firstâ&#x20AC;? law.

This law had been on the books for nearly 20 years and required the most toxic industry in America to prove that they could operate (and then close) a sulfide mine without polluting the groundwater. Even after all these years, no sulfide mine in the world has been able to prove that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contaminate the water. Now in Wisconsin, they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to.

The fact is over the past eight years, we have seen an extreme Republican party running roughshod in Wisconsin, eliminating collective bargaining rights for workers, turning back the clock on womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthcare, implementing discriminatory voter ID laws and putting us on a dangerous path with the NRA agenda. They wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone much further this session had it not become so readily apparent that voters across the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and here in Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;are rejecting their backward agenda in great numbers.

They wanted to pass bills like SB 459 to force the DNR to scrap all regulations concerning air pollution; like SB 54, a bill that would make it easier to revoke parole and build a new $350 million prison; and such as SB 169, which wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve allowed for concealed carrying of firearms without a permit and allowed guns in schools under some circumstances (just to get started).

Hopefully, when we next convene (likely in January of 2019), it will be with a different legislative makeup, and we can make up for the lost Walker Decade with priorities like conservation, fairly funding our schools, increasing access to affordable healthcare and real gun reform to reduce the tragic epidemic of violenceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;just to get started.

Chris Larson is Wisconsin State Senator for the Seventh District.

The Traverse City Cherry Old Fashioned includes cherry bourbon, simple syrup, bitters and Bulleit bourbon-soaked dark cherries. The Spanish Sangria Press, with brandy, triple sec, gin, red wine, muddled fruit and a house-made sweet and sour, could pair well with breakfast items like the spinach Florentine Omelette ($14) as easily as it did with my Enchiladas ::BY SHEILA JULSON Entomatadas ($10) off the lunch favorites menu.

“Donut of the day?” That’s only one of the unique delights served at Toast, 231 S. Second St. Newly opened in the space once occupied by the defunct Zak’s Café, Toast looks out at Walker’s Point from both sides of its narrow split-level room. The Cream City brick and wood is accented by bright morning colors— sunrise orange coffee mugs and egg yolk yellow paper napkins. The breakfast menu speaks in Southern Tex-Mex accents with huevos rancheros ($10.95), biscuits and gravy ($8.95), chicken and waffles ($10.95) and—in a Quebec-New Mexico hybrid—poutine prepared with poblano peppers, chorizo and cilantro ($10.95).

Toast has a circa l969 vibe: The servers wear tie-dye, the café’s logo tripped out of a Fillmore East poster and the menu includes a section called “Far Out Omelets.” You can order hashbrowns if you want, but check out the “spiral fries,” crescent shaped rebukes to those dull straight or crinkle-cut French fries. Servings are attractive and portions are large, down to those brightly colored coffee mugs. And those donuts—with unusual flavors and crispy around the rim? They are big enough for a meal.

Toast is open 7 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

I asked my Facebook friends these questions and got a considerable amount of responses. Responses that I didn’t expect. It doesn’t seem that the typical bad reputation that vegans have of being protein-deficient or boring eaters is what’s stopping people ;?("?+=1"*(,<176/+<12"<3+,-4<4(,4,:"<(" veganism from actually transitioning.

I can only imagine how hard it would be to convert my six older meat-loving brothers. So, how can you be vegan when your family is not?

My advice is to not try and jump in all at once with your spouse and kids hooked at your side. Going vegan alone is already a big adjustment. It’s important to focus on your own transition before your family’s, like with emergencies on airplanes! Adding more people will only make it harder for you.

As far as putting up with your family making fun of your transition, because they likely will, it’s important to first understand that they’re coming from a place of uncertainty and they might just be uncomfortable or intimidated by the idea.

Regardless of their reason, never take the negative comments personally. Feel certain about your choices and have the knowledge to back them up. Don’t get defensive, that’ll make you and your opinions seem weak!

Instead, be polite and keep your answers to the point. Maybe question them why they feel the need to bring your choices up everytime they see you. Break them down in a positive way by turning the questions on them. They might learn something about themselves!

Sherman Park and Racial Politics

!"#$%&'()&*+,+$%& -(&.+*/0#122 !"#$%&'()$*'#+,#'#$&-$.,'/0$1023#4/$56702'80,829$:;4$ ::BY LYDIA SLATTERY eing young doesn’t mean being ignorant. The youth see and process their situations like any adult does and being a teenager can be especially difficult.

Antarctica, WI, a play that follows seven teenagers living in an unnamed but Milwaukee-like city, attempts to capture the universal challenges of being young. The play’s teenagers want to change the circumstances in their community that seem far out of their control. The central conflict arises from their desire to bring about change while not knowing how to break the status quo.

First Stage will present the world premiere of Antarctica, WI by international award-winning Tasmanian playwright Finegan Kruckemeyer. Milwaukee’s Malkia Stampley directs the family friendly play.

“The play for me is a contemporary folktale inspired by conversations that the playwright, who is literally from the other side of the world, had with the youth of Milwaukee,” said Jeff Frank, artistic director at First Stage.

“It’s a couple of days in the lives of seven teenagers and it’s about how much more challenging their lives are in Milwaukee right now.”

Two alternating casts will play the seven teens. The diverse groups of actors from many backgrounds come from all over the city and suburbs. The intention is to have an authentic representation of Milwaukee, Frank said. He explained that the city in the play is an amalgam of Milwaukee, but that Kruckemeyer intentionally kept the setting vague, the better to incorporate the elements of fantasy that are characteristic of all of his work. Audiences may remember, for example, his magical play The Snow, a highlight of First Stage’s 2015-16 season.

“I hope the play opens people’s eyes to truths here in our community and also provokes thought and activates discussion,” Frank said. “The play ends on a hopeful note but not one that provides the answers.”

18 | A P R I L 5 , 2 0 1 8

Frank commissioned Kruckemeyer to write the play after a meeting in New York several years ago.

The playwright came here in the summer of 2016 and interviewed many young Milwaukeeans. Parts of the play echo the Sherman Park unrest that took place just before Kruckemeyer arrived for these interviews. He drew on his conversations with residents regarding the racial politics in Milwaukee to write Antarctica, WI. “So as a Milwaukee citizen watching, it should feel personal and representational and respectful and applicable to you,” Kruckemeyer said about the play in an email. “But for another viewer, in another place, it should have elements which do the same.”

While the playwright is international, First Stage chose a local director for the production. Stampley is a professional actor and director and a founding member of the Bronzeville Arts Ensemble. This is her first time directing at First Stage. “Antarctica, WI is a special way to honor our teenagers in Milwaukee,” she said. “There are seven teenagers in the show and I find a piece of myself in each one of them. I’m hoping that our audiences can find that.”

She explained that while she’s thrilled to direct this play, it’s also a challenge. This is a new play and she is making the first decisions about its production.

“I’ve found that the scariest things are exactly the things I need to tackle and face head on, and this show is that for me,” Stampley said. While directing it, she found that her teenaged actors are passionate and educated about issues both in Milwaukee and nationally. She thought she would have to convince them about the politics and social problems in Milwaukee; instead, she found that she was listening to their perspectives.

Stampley also hopes that audiences will see the importance of community and friendship in the production. She added that people are struggling and having a group of friends or being part of a community means they won’t have to struggle alone.

First Stage “I hope that we remember that Antarctica, WI Milwaukee needs Todd Wehr Theater work,” Stampley April 6-22 said. “We have to be willing to listen.

I think if we’re willing to listen and look at what we claim needs work, we’ll be in a better place.”

Performances are April 6-22 in the Todd Wehr Theater of the Marcus Center for Performing Arts, 929 N. Water St. For tickets, call 414-267-2961 or visit firststage.org.

THURSDAY, APRIL 5

The All Stars of Rap Tour @ The Riverside Theater, 8 p.m.

Rap nostalgia bills are nothing new, but the artists on this lineup have shown more longevity than most. At the top of the bill are DJ Quik, the legendary West Coast rap producer who is still doing solid work—he just put out a solid collaborative album with Problem called Rosecrans last year—and E-40—one of the most influential and prolific Bay Area rappers ever. They’re joined by New York legend Jadakiss as well as Spice 1, Do or Die and Luke of 2 Live Crew infamy.

Don Waterski Goes Up Nort’ @ Underground Collective, 7:30 p.m.

One of the more notable recent success stories from Milwaukee’s comedy scene, Jake Kornely left the city for Los Angeles, but his heart clearly still lies in Wisconsin. How else would he have come up with the character Don Waterski, a hapless woodsman and educator who teaches his audience the ways of the wilderness? At this interactive show, Waterski shares his unique approach to survival in the Northwoods, while soliciting help from the audience. (Through Saturday, April 7.)

FRIDAY, APRIL 6

Ministry w/ Chelsea Wolfe and The God Bombs @ Turner Hall Ballroom, 7:30 p.m.

Perhaps outside of Nine Inch Nails, no other act changed the shape of industrial metal music more than Ministry, one of the genre’s earlier pioneers. Fans are lucky they’re still going, though. Guitarist Mike Scaccia died in 2012 after suffering a heart attack on stage with his other band Rigor Mortis, and to honor his memory, Ministry leader Al Jourgensen has announced that the band’s 2013 effort, From Beer to Eternity, which contains the last material he recorded with Scaccia, would be the group’s last album. Jourgensen has since walked back those comments, saying he was speaking out of shock and grief, and last month, the band released a new album, AmeriKKKant, a furious response to the alt-right with guest contributions from Fear Factory’s Burton C. Bell, DJ Swamp and former N.W.A member Arabian Prince.

WMSE’s Art & Music @ Pritzlaff Building, 6 p.m.

Milwaukee’s independent radio station, WMSE 91.7 FM, will showcase some of the city’s best art, music and food as its Art & Music event, which returns after an impressive debut last year. WMSE DJs will provide the mood music, while restaurants—including Lulu, Nightmare’s, DanDan, Hi Hat, Miss Molly’s and Transfer—provide samples. But the main event is a silent auction featuring contributions from more than 100 artists, including Jeff Redmond, Dwellephant, Ken Vonderberg, Charles Dwyer, Katie Jordan, Janelle Gramling, The Dry Points and Tom Noll. There will also be a live art room, where Chuck Webb, Sue Berce and Curt Crain will be creating real-time pieces on large canvasses. The night will end with live music from Milwaukee’s improvisational ensemble The Erotic Adventures of the Static Chicken.

The Decemberists w/ Shortly @ The Riverside Theater, 8 p.m.

The Decemberists will probably always be remembered for the ornate, chamber-pop arrangements and hyper-literary lyrics of their earliest and best-known records, but on recent albums, band leader Colin Meloy hasn’t been afraid to branch out. 2011’s The King is Dead was uncommonly breezy—all good cheer and early R.E.M. jangle—and 2015’s What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World showcased Meloy’s ear for pop hooks. The band’s latest, I’ll Be Your Girl, is one of its most daring ever. Produced by indie-rock veteran John Congleton, it gives the band a dramatic ’80s synth-rock makeover on several tracks, including the lead single “Severed.” It turns out this band sounds as good doing Depeche Mode as they do R.E.M.

Vinyl Theatre w/ Vesperteen and The Middle Ground @ The Rave, 8 p.m.

COURTESY OF VILYN THEATRE

One of the Milwaukee music scene’s great success stories from the last decade, electro-rockers Vinyl Theatre first caught a major break when they landed a gig opening for Twenty One Pilots at the Rave in 2014, and from there good fortune continued to rain on them. That fall, they signed to the legendary punk and emo label Fueled by Ramen, which released their debut album, Electrogram, and its 2017 follow-up, Origami. The band has since split from the label, but they’ve been making the most of their independence. This year, they released a ripping new single called “Feel It All.”

The Illusionists—Live From Broadway @ Miller High Life Theatre, 7 p.m.

Broadway’s spin on a modern, Las Vegas-style magic revue, The Illusionists pairs five very theatrical magicians, most of whom are dressed as brightly as comic book characters (and most of which have comic-book names like The Manipulator and The Daredevil). A whole lot of stunts, spectacle and audience participation ensues, much of it set to loud rock music. Some of the tricks rely on elaborate technical setups, while others—like a guy getting cut in half by a chain saw or a quarter going through an eye socket—aim for a visceral gut reaction.! !

Don’t worry, “Weird Al” Yankovic hasn’t stopped writing the parody songs that made him famous. His last studio album, 2014’s Mandatory Fun, included his usual good-natured riffs on artists like Lorde, Robin Thicke and Pharrell. For this tour, though, Yankovic is trying something different. His “Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour” will put his biggest hits like “Smells Like Nirvana” on the backburner to spotlight Yankovic’s original, non-parody songs, including many he’s rarely if ever performed live before.

SIMON EMMETT

British rockers The Darkness believed in a thing called kitsch, and that faith paid off remarkably when their 2003 debut, Permission to Land, became a hot seller on the strength of its hooky, Journey-styled hit single. By 2005’s One Way Ticket to Hell… and Back, however, the masses had already lost interest, and the group went on hiatus the following year when singer Justin Hawkins checked into rehab. Since reuniting in ’11, the group has released several more albums of schlocky glam-rock and over-the-top falsetto, including last year’s Pinewood Smile. They’ve still got the goods, but whether the joke is funny anymore depends on whether you thought it was ever funny in the first place.

Our Town

The House of Bernarda Alba

The Milwaukee Repertory Theater’s closing play of their season in the Quadracci Powerhouse “brings together some of Wisconsin’s greatest theater talent on one stage to create an Our Town for our town,” according to the Rep’s Frances White. The 1938 play by Madison, Wis.-born Thornton Wilder won the Pulitzer Prize for drama. Set in the fictional town of Grover’s Corners between 1901 and 1913, it follows the lives of ordinary, small-town people and their everyday lives, principally focusing on two families—the Gibbses and the Webbs—as well as their friends and neighbors.

The Rep has assembled a fine cast of seasoned local talent and relative newcomers to the local stage for this production. The cast includes Cher Desiree Alvarez, James Craven, Di’Monte Henning, Carrie Hitchcock, Jamie Rezanour, Jonathan Smoots, Jonathan Wainwright, James Pickering and others. They’re joined by a host of the Rep’s 2017-’18 Emerging Professional Residents and child actors in various supporting roles. “With humor, wit and exceptionally powerful storytelling,” White says, “Wilder delivers universal truths about what it means to be human and encourages us to live life to its fullest.” (John Jahn) April 10-May 13 in the Quadracci Powerhouse, 108 E. Wells St. For tickets, call 414-224-9490 or visit milwaukeerep.com.

I and You

“This brilliant theatrical gem focuses upon two young people yearning for connection,” says Next Act Theatre’s David Cecsarini about the upcoming production of Lauren Gunderson’s I and You (for which Cecsarini serves as director and sound designer).

“Gunderson hits home with clarifying insight into the lives of teens.” Atlanta-born Lauren Gunderson is the most-produced living playwright in the U.S. today. Her output thus far totals some 20 works; I and You debuted in 2014, winning that year’s Harold and Mimi Steinberg/American Theatre Critics Association New Play Award.

The play centers on two teens, Anthony (to be played by Ibraheem Farmer in his Next Act debut) and Caroline (Cristina Panfilio, who was last seen in Next Act’s The Other Place). Together, the teens work on a humdrum poetry project at the latter’s home, but there turns out to be much more than just schoolmates collaborating on a homework assignment here. “The final minutes will make your heart sing and break all at once,” says Cecsarini. (John Jahn) April 5-29 at Next Act Theatre, 255 S. Water St. For tickets, call 414-278-0765 or visit nextact.org.

“So few plays of Spanish or Hispanic origin find their way to our Milwaukee stages,” says Inspiration Studios founder Erico Ortiz. “Which was one of my challenges in terms of getting permission from Village Playhouse to produce this great play, but it has been well worth it.” Ortiz speaks here of Federico Garcia-Lorca’s The House of Bernarda Alba, which Ortiz has translated into English for this showing. The all-female cast includes Sandra Hollander, Mary Lynn Ferwerda, Anne Gorski, Donna McMaster and Bividiana Murguia. April 6-22 at Inspiration Studios, 1500 S. 73rd St., West Allis. For tickets, call 414-207-4879 or visit vpbernardaalba.brownpapertickets.com.

The Boxcar Children

“Orphaned and in danger of going to different foster homes, Henry, Jessie, Violet and Benny Alden run away and make an abandoned railroad boxcar their home,” says Racine Theatre Guild’s Joycelyn Fish about the main characters in the company’s upcoming production of Barbara Field’s stage adaptation of The Boxcar Children, a book by Gertrude Chandler Warner. “Their strength, ingenuity and bravery are challenged, but their resolve to stay together as a family defies all odds.” April 6-15 at Racine Theatre Guild, 2519 Northwestern Ave., Racine. For tickets, call 262633-4218 or visit racinetheatre.org.

Bakersfield Mist

Maude, an unemployed bartender living in a trailer park, buys a painting from a local thrift store as a gag gift; to her, the worthless piece of “art,” however, is actually a lost work by the famous abstract expressionist American painter Jackson Pollock. Inspired by true events, this comedic drama boasts edgy dialogue and biting humor. Bakersfield Mist (2012) is the most recent work by American stage director and playwright Stephen Sachs (b. 1959). April 6-21 at Over Our Head Players’ Sixth Street Theatre, 318 Sixth St., Racine. For tickets, call 262-632-6802 or visit overourheadplayers.org.

The Illusionists

“This show is one of the most engaging, entertaining and exciting programs I’ve seen,” says the Wisconsin Center District’s president and CEO, Marty Brooks about The Illusionists-Live from Broadway. “What better way to wrap up your weekend than to make an escape from everyday realities in our gorgeous Downtown venue!” Brooks speaks of the upcoming show featuring five famous men who commix comedy, thought reading, magic and stunt performance in their show. Sunday, April 8, at the Miller High Life Theatre, 500 W. Kilbourn Ave. For tickets, visit millerhighlifetheatre.com.

CLASSICALMUSIC|PREVIEW

Die Already!

Opera is an art form replete with scenes of murder, suicide, vengeance and generally malignant human behavior. These exist alongside those of ardent love and uproarious humor. Perhaps no country produced more dramatic (and melodramatic!) operatic scenes depicting the extremes of human emotion than Italy. In the upcoming performance featuring some of opera’s greatest, goriest hits, Die Already!, staged and directed

by UW-Milwaukee faculty and Milwaukee Opera Theatre artists, audiences will experience some of Italian opera’s most gripping moments of last gasps and final moments of life.

In what other form of art, after all, do you see that when someone has been mortally wounded, instead of simply dying, they sing? Die Already! is evocatively subtitled Scenes of Death and Vengeance from 1607-1918. The operatic oeuvre’s offerings of offings here are variously defined as “heartfelt,” “moving,” “intense” and “passionate,” but also “ridiculous,” “extravagant” and “theatrical.” “La commedia è finita!” indeed.

Beethoven: Five Piano Concertos, One Pianist

The title of this concert pretty much says it all, but we should point out that the “one pianist”—Carthage College faculty member Wael Farouk—won’t be performing every note of Ludwig van Beethoven’s five piano concertos! This is part of the Chamber Music Series and is the first of three where Farouk and the New Philharmonic Orchestra (based in DuPage, Ill., and conducted by Kirk Muspratt) will exhibit the evolution of Beethoven’s piano concertos. Beethoven composed his first such work in 1797 and his final such work, the Emperor, 13 years thereafter. Friday, April 6, in A.F. Siebert Chapel, 2001 Alford Park Drive, Kenosha. For tickets, call 262-551-6661 or visit carthage. edu/tickets.

!"# $%&'(# )*"+',%(# -'.*# /"+'"0# &1+(0# 23# &!'0# 4"%+5# !"#$% &'()*+, kee’s oldest annual film festival and one of the longest running of its kind in the U.S. Beginning modestly 40 years ago by screening three films in one room on the UW-Milwaukee campus, the Latin American Film Series now spans nine evenings and includes 14 selections.

The 40th year was programmed by E.J. Basa, who came onboard the series three years ago and rose to become the event’s curator. The series may have grown in scale but its mission remains the same four decades on.

“It’s an asset for gaining exposure to social, cultural and political movements in Latin America,” Basa says. “We’ve always been interested in using film as a lesson-building and community-building event to teach about other cultures. Education has always been its mission.”

The series is organized by UWM’s Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies but Basa works closely with some two-dozen UWM departments and offices as well as several off-campus community groups. Like her predecessors in programming, Basa tries for a cross-section of films including features and documentaries and representing diverse cinematic styles and topics as well as nations of origin. Locating prospective selections has grown easier over the past 40 years. Says Basa, “we can access films on USB drives, on Blu-ray, the cloud, but you wouldn’t believe the difficulty we had in getting the one Peruvian film we have this year!” Detective work leading from one contact to another is still sometimes necessary. “If it’s on Netflix I won’t show it,” she adds. “We’re here to expand, not to replay.”

All films are screened at the UWM Union Cinema. Admission is free. For more information, visit uwm.edu/clacs/public-engagement/ film-series/40th-annual-latin-american-filmseries-2018/.

[ FILM CLIPS ] Blockers R

When a trio of parents (John Cena, Leslie Mann and Ike Barinholtz) discovers a pact between their three daughters, all of whom plan to lose their virginity on high school prom night, the parents join forces to prevent their girls from making what they view as a terrible mistake. They stalk the girls—sometimes overtly, other times covertly, but always awkwardly—because the parents aren’t nearly as wise, smart or cool as they think they are. Meanwhile, the girls (Kathryn Newton, Gideon Adlon and Geraldine Viswanathan) see themselves as taking charge of their own destinies and declaring their independence. Clearly there’s plenty of gray area to go around—all of it mastered by screenwriters Brian and Jim Kehoe who have a handle on conflicting parental and teen aspirations. Superior chemistry between Cena, Mann and Barinholtz doesn’t hurt, either. (Lisa Miller)

Chappaquiddick PG-13

The movie never made during Ted Kennedy’s lifetime purports to examine his role in events leading to the death of campaign worker Mary Jo Kopechne (Kate Mara). Approaching the facts in a dry, methodical manner, the film depicts old Joe Kennedy (Bruce Dern) protecting his errant youngest son, Ted (Jason Clarke), who never paid the freight for leaving Mary Jo to slowly die during the 10 hours in which Kennedy slept instead of reporting the auto accident. Some remember the Kennedy dynasty nostalgically, but this mysterious incident left an enduring stain. (L.M.)

Foxtrot R

The film by Israeli director Samuel Maoz won the Silver Lion at the Venice International Film Festival.

In a highly stylized format more familiar in live the-

ater than in movies, he explores the parental shock of hearing your child has been killed—and then the shock of learning that the news was false—as well as the boredom of army life at a checkpoint guarding nothing. Foxtrot takes a slightly magical-realist take on tensions in contemporary Israel and features striking visuals in many scenes. (David Luhrssen)

The Leisure Seeker R

An elderly couple set off in their rickety RV over the objections of their concerned adult children (Christian McKay and Janel Moloney). Helen Mirren and Donald Sutherland portray Ella and John Spencer, who, 50 years into their marriage, confront debilitating health issues. He has dementia, while she suffers from increasingly frequent and crippling headaches.

With little to no hope of improvement, they embark on an adventure. Along the way, he forgets who and where they are, leading to heartbreak and danger as she struggles to keep him connected to their past and present. Bringing their captivating skill to this twilight pair, Mirren and Sutherland capitalize on a great premise to make a clunky screenplay watchable. (L.M.) A Quiet Place PG-13 It’s day 89 of an alien invasion, and a family that resides at an isolated farmhouse in upstate New York remains alive by staying silent. The extraterrestrials hunt noisy humans by sound, but this family includes a deaf daughter, so its members know sign language.

They tread barefoot, even while foraging for food in the town’s stores, risking whispers only rarely. From a script directed and co-written by John Krasinski of TVs “The Office,” Krasinski and his real-life wife, Emily Blunt, play the parents, conveying their silent characters’ dread in frightening sequences that make us squirm over their quietly evasive tactics. (L.M.)

[ HOME MOVIES / NOW STREAMING ] Birdman of Alcatraz

Based on a true story, Birdman of Alcatraz (1962) stars Burt Lancaster as Robert Stroud, a federal prisoner for nearly all his life. His hardness and hostility softens, his humanity is recovered, through raising a menagerie of birds in his cell. Filming in stark black and white, director John Frankenheimer (The Manchurian Candidate) takes full advantage of the medium’s inky blackness and long shadows to critique American penology. Even the reformers are shown to be blind.

Curse of the Mayans

The Mayan calendar predicted apocalypse on Dec. 21, 2012. In Curse of the Mayans, the end began on that date with the emergence of evil entities from the Pleiades entombed in an underwater labyrinth. Working with a modest budget, Mexican director Joaquin Rodriguez follows a Hispanic team of explorers led by an arrogant American archeologist. The bilingual story’s moral is that unsophisticated locals know best when they warn not to open doors to the unknown.

The Paris Opera

In real life, the setting for The Phantom of the Opera is a venue for 400 performances each year of music and dance. In his documentary, French director Jean-Stéphane Bron takes us behind the scenes, not into the catacombs but the offices and rehearsal rooms where productions are organized. The Paris Opera is edited in a musically flowing rhythm. Wisely, Bron picks a protagonist, a young Russian newbie, and follows him through a performance season.

Joan of Arc

A teenager in 1400s France, Joan of Arc, guided by voices, rallied her people against the English usurpers and commanded a victorious army. She was centuries ahead of her time. The classic cinematic telling of her story remains Carl Theodor Dreyer’s The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928). Some will also remember this 1948 Technicolor version starring Ingrid Bergman as Joan. She is what holds up best: her face expressing fervor, prayerfulness, anguish and determination.

Inspired Abstraction at Gallery of Wisconsin Art

::BY JUDITH ANN MORIARTY

G Gallery of Wisconsin Art

!"#$% &#''"!(")% *+$,% -#).(/#$"% #/0% "01.#$"2! "#$! #%#&! $%! '(! )&((&*! (+"#! (+&! ,"--&*.! of Wisconsin Art (GOWA) in West Bend. Soon to celebrate its first anniversary, the venue is making a big impact.

Over the decades, while studying abstracted art at various galleries, I often heard nearby viewers snipe, “OK, anyone can paint that! My kid could do it!” Nowadays, we have chimps and elephants making art, albeit for zoo fundraisers. Anyway, the results would never rub shoulders with GOWA’s current exhibitions, “Abstraction x 3,” “Abstract Sculpture” and “Con/ temporary Abstract Artists: The Female Perspective,” up through April 28. This is a knockout with historic and contemporary punches.

Quality always aces quantity; for instance, check out the quality in the swoozy marks made by artist, Claudette Lee-Roseland in !"#$%&'()*+,, consider the fun jazzy canvases of Melissa Dorn Richards and the sensational, clunky assemblages of Aristotle Georgiades. UW-Madison is heavily represented.

So, what is abstraction? For Melissa Dorn Richards, a MIAD graduate and West Bend native, whose mop paintings are nothing short of sensational, it begins with an idea, an idea that becomes an abstrac/ tion. In explaining her mop paintings, specifically -*.&/01, she has this memory of it: that the red slits on the white canvas echo the red threads from the industrial mop that inspired this particular work.

To those who would say, “Oh my kid could do that,” I say, “If you think abstraction is a simplistic way to create art, think again.”

hree new exhibitions open at the Museum of Wisconsin Art on April 14, demonstrating yet again the range and vitality of the state’s contemporary art scene as well as the historical interest of the state’s industry.

“There is no bad weather, only bad gear,” a colleague once replied to my surprise that a bicycle was still his preferred transportation during the unforgiving winter months. This sentiment could well be emblazoned on Trek’s coat of arms. Since 1976 the Trek Bicycle Corporation has manufactured bikes for various terrains—mountains, roads, even the South Pole—winning a sterling reputation along the way. “Joy Ride: Designing Trek” examines the Waterloo, Wis.-based company through a selection of its creations, including an original 1976 steel road bike, the celebrated stallions of victorious professional athletes and a psychedelic Grateful Dead inspired mountain bike custom built for the legendary Gary Fisher.

Daniel Gerhartz is an unreconstructed traditionalist, frighteningly proficient in the Realism that was in vogue in the 19th century; so proficient, that if he were diabolical in character, he could make an illicit living forging works of painters past. No doubt Gerhartz encountered the abstractions of modern masters during his years at the Academy of Art in Chicago, but his heart beat to the portraiture of John Singer Sargent (1856-1925), Joaquín Sorolla (1863-1923) and Anders Zorn (18601920). “Daniel Gerhartz: The Continuum of Beauty” presents 31 of the artist’s works, paeans to a past (but not passé) conception of beauty and the good life.

Much of Jenie Gao’s work depicts animal-tool hybrids, rendered with such imaginative precision that one will forevermore see an angry Alsatian with a gun barrel snout. “Jenie Gao: Survival Tools” is a site-specific installation featuring two of the Madison artist’s favorite images, the gundog and the bullhorn dog, representing violence and protest, respectively. The installation is Gao’s idiosyncratic and illuminating take on our contentious contemporary public stage.

All three exhibitions open with a reception from 2-5 p.m. on Saturday, April 14. Each exhibition also features an artist discussion and other supplementary events. Visit wisconsinart.org for dates and details.

Will Robots Take Your Job?: A Plea for Consensus!

(POLITY PRESS), BY NIGEL M. DE S. CAMERON What if in 10 years time every truck is self-driving and the Teamsters are a union of retirees? What if robotics claims hundreds of millions of jobs across the world? Nigel M. de S. Cameron is alarmed that unions and governments aren’t taking the future seriously, while the windbags of the World Bank and Davos offer platitudes instead of answers. As president of the Center for Policy on Emerging Technologies, Cameron is raising alarms about “the coming disruption,” especially what it might mean for the have-nots and have-littles. As always, new jobs will be created by new technology, but this time, how many?

Refreshingly, Cameron doesn’t pretend to be a seer. He admits he doesn’t know. The point of his book is that we need to prepare for the possibility of serious, even dangerous changes. (David Luhrssen)

The Street Philosophy of Garry Winogrand (UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS PRESS), BY GEOFF DYER

Photographer Garry Winogrand died relatively young in 1984 at age 56, leaving behind a large body of work documenting the small details of American (and occasionally European) life. In this handsomely designed coffee-table book, essayist Geoff Dyer examines one hundred of his photos, both black and white and color, spanning the 1950s through the ’80s. Winogrand was drawn to city streets, positioning himself “like a boulder causing white-water torrents of people to surge around and past him.” Dyer provides entertaining commentary for each photo, coaxing possible meanings from the anonymous individuals caught by Winogrand in moments of time.

rocodile Dundee and hopping kangaroos, the Outback as the Southern Hemisphere’s answer to the Old West: Such are the clichés that pop to mind for most Americans about Australia. Dave Watson knows differently. The Madison writer lived there as the new millennium began, pursuing love, commerce and higher education. He recounts his experiences in Walkabout Undone: A Memoir.

“I discovered a side to Australia I hadn’t seen or heard about from a foreigner’s perspective,” he says. “That mostly has to do with everyone I know who’s been there does the usual two-week or month-long tour and then returns home. Very few, without a personal connection, go back to Australia.” Touring a place by bus, waiting in its airports and working hotel conference rooms—you see surfaces. “I spent two years in Asia and still did not see much of China, Mongolia or Russia,” he continues. Living as opposed even to staying somewhere brings other truths to light.

In recent years, some memoirists have been “exposed” for fictionalizing their lives, and however lightly they photoshopped the details, they have drawn umbrage for faking it.

“It’s as literal as I recalled, so I’d say it’s a literal account,” Watson says, “and then there is that brain theory where your brain is constantly lying to us, where you don’t remember things exactly as they happened. The one technique through the writing process I had to employ was keeping in mind that not everything that happens to you is interesting.”

Would he try to convince other college-age people, as he was at the time, out of following his example (and his heart) overseas? “I’d talk with them about it but not out of it,” he insists. “My friend Jim in the book said I would’ve gone through life thinking, ‘What if?’ over and over again. Like I say in the book, traveling also teaches you where you shouldn’t go.”

Dave Watson will discuss Walkabout Undone on Friday, April 6 at Voyageur Book Shop, 2212 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.

OFF THE CUFF WITH OVATION CHAI POINT’S TRISH COHN ::BY CAROLINE KAUFMAN

By Caryl Churchill

APRIL 6 - 29

A sharp, imaginative and profound examination of the choices women face on their journey to success.

by John Patrick Shanley

APRIL 12 - 29

A Pulitzer and Tony-winning masterpiece that leaves nothing truly certain!

O

vation Chai Point (1400 N. Prospect Ave.) has found a way to help bridge the gap between generations by implementing a student artist-in-residence program. This innovative program, currently in its third year, is a partnership with the UW-Milwaukee that’s meant to inspire creativity for both students and their elders. Chai Point offers independent and assisted living through individualized supportive care programs. Off The Cuff spoke with its executive director, Trish Cohn. !

What initially interested you in implementing an artist-inresidence program at Ovation Chai Point?

Anne Basting, the UWM professor in charge of this initiative, and I really wanted a way that intergenerational communication and cohabitation would become the norm with aging. In certain cultures, like in the Netherlands, that’s what they do. In America, you don’t see it as much. It is such a joyous program and something I am very proud of.

students have never been around the elderly. We need to really look at how we’re dealing with that. We need to break down those barriers. There’s always going to be high needs as people age, and we need to really learn how to actively engage and give people that dignity, give them that life-long learning experience, the students and the residents.

How does this program align with the mission of Ovation Chai Point?

Our mission is really to provide our Jewish community with the services that enable our seniors to be part of a quality Jewish environment with comfort, meaning, independence and dignity. This program aligns well with our mission because everything that those students do is guided by those principles.

The artists join us in our mission. They know that when they come aboard. They’re learning about us, too, in this environment. There’s a lot to learn for both parties, which is really, really great. I have to tell you that the artists and residents would say that they feel very positive about it. It’s completely not like any other program. It really encourages these young people to connect and reflect on what can happen as someone ages. The “Chai” is all about celebrating life. That’s what “Chai” means: to life. This is a very life-living place.

For more information on this program and other services offered

by Ovation Chai Point, visit ovation.org.

What does your selection process look like for the student artist?

Right now, we only take one student a year. How it works is, people have to apply at UWM for the program. Then the candidates are brought to us for an interview to see if it’s going to be a match. In Yiddish, there’s a term for a match: shidduch. This partnership has to be a match for both the student and the residents at Ovation Chai Point.

What expectations do you have for the artist and their contributions?

My expectations for the artists are that they do one workshop a month for us, open to all residents. They will also have studio hours here and they are required to have at least two meals a week here. I want them to build relationships with the residents. I’d like the student artist to come to all our programming and bring their friends in.

My thing is, I don’t like to set any boundaries; I’d just like the student artist to really take an active role because this, again, is another learning step in leadership for them. This program is one of the greatest things to boost their own self-esteem and to provide leadership skills for them, a tool for them in the future.

What are your future goals for the student artist-in-residence program?

That eventually I would get more students in.

I’d like us to become known as a community that people want to come and work with. I would like more workshops with music students, history students. I wouldn’t care what it was, only that they would teach us something. Many of these

ew musicians can conjure the physical sensation of sadness quite as viscerally as Julien Baker.

An account of medical, emotional and spiritual crisis, the Memphis, Tenn., songwriter’s harrowing 2015 debut, Sprained Ankle, captured not only the painful numbness of depression, but also the raw, nauseating terror that come with watching your life spiral out of control. Listening to it can feel an awful lot like weathering a panic attack.

Baker’s latest album, Turn Out The Lights, released last year on Matador Records, isn’t exactly easy listening, either, but her new songs cut the pain with glimmers of hope. For all its sorrow, it’s a concertedly more reassuring record than its predecessor.

In conversation, Baker is upbeat and cheerful, even when the topics she’s discussing are anything but, and though she answers questions about her music with deep contemplation, she’s quick to laugh at herself whenever she fears she may sound overly serious. Ahead of her return to Milwaukee for a concert at Turner Hall Ballroom on Monday, April 9, Baker spoke with the Shepherd Express about the responsibilities that come with writing about mental health and the secret to performing such heavy songs night after night.

One thing that can seem like a contradiction to audiences is you write songs about being anxious or insecure, then you go on stage and perform them so confidently for big theaters. What’s the secret to doing that?

It’s interesting when people say “You perform them so confidently,” because I feel so much trepidation and stage fright. I used to just run down the stairs on the side stage of the venues we would play because I’d get so nervous before shows.

But I think there’s something powerful and Julien liberating about the moment you step out Baker onto a stage and you accept that the only Turner Hall thing you can give is the songs you’ve written … I don’t think it’s necessarily confidence. I Ballroom think it’s that I try to trust the audience. Then Monday, when I do something that I find embarrassApril 9 ing or humiliating, like if I break a string on 8 p.m. stage, or if I strike a completely obviously wrong note, I start trusting the audience to be merciful. Then I will say into the microphone, “Mistakes are just something that happen to human beings; thank you for being kind and gracious,” as a way to verbally affirm to myself that what’s happening here is not all the people in the seats are

judging me with a clipboard. What’s happening is us exchanging our humanity—me in the form of art, them in the form of internalizing that art and responding to it. So I just try to focus more on that process.

I feel like the question on a lot of people’s minds is how do you go out on stage every night and perform these songs without it taking a serious toll on your wellbeing?

I love answering that question, because it’s a question that I get all the time, and I get to supply the fortunate answer that those songs are not sad for me anymore. Just like anything, like the way when we say a word too often we forget what it means, when you do anything with regularity, you’ll build up a tolerance to it. That’s true of how food tastes and how cigarettes feel. But it’s not merely that I’ve built up a mental callous around the sensitivity of these subjects. It’s that analyzing them and performing them and talking about them in interviews and thinking about them for years has sort of unraveled them and stripped away the mythos that I think memories can accrue in our recollection. Like, if we have a painful memory or we have trauma and we allow it to rest unfettered in our memory and we never confront it, we never work through it and we never talk about it, they’ll fester and take on these other forms of aggression and resentment and bitterness. And when we confront them over and over again it’s as if we rob them of their power. And once they’re stripped back to just factual events that happened to us, we can apply whatever meaning or significance we want to them … So [the songs are] triumphant to me. They’re victories over that situation. Had I had no power over them I wouldn’t be able to face them and make art about them.

About five years ago emo artists started having a conversation with themselves about whether the music the genre was making was constructive or whether it was glamorizing sadness and unhealthy thoughts. Is that something you’ve ever wrestled with?

I think so. And I think that’s something I became really aware of when I had toured and when music became what I was primarily focused on.

That increased consideration for my place in the musical arena—or arena’s not a good word, but just the typography of music: Where do I lie? What am I contributing to it? It’s such

an integral part of our society and our culture, and I have to steward the opportunities I have in a responsible way. And I wanted to make more of an effort to make sure that the necessary and healthy and useful discussion of our emotions did not fall over the edge into stagnation and apathy, or just ambivalence about changing it.

Don’t answer if this is too personal, but are you feeling better these days than when you first started writing your solo songs?

The short answer is yes. But I’m very careful with how I discuss mental health recovery because it is not useful to give people answers or aphorisms like “It gets better” or “Just hang in there,” because maybe it won’t get better, or at least not better in the way you think better should be. Maybe the things we wish for as human beings, like, “Oh, if only I had this, or if only this situation was resolved, or if only this person loved me, then I would be happy,” but that’s not true.

Because happiness is this fleeting, transient state …

So with anxiety or depression, I don’t think it is useful to say there is ever going to be a time when all of the sudden those chronic illnesses or those difficulties evaporate. I think it’s more about learning how to use positive coping mechanisms and how to train ourselves to engage with those parts of ourselves more healthfully. And honestly, that’s a lot of what the last record is about: trying to put a rest to the binary that we have that these behaviors are normal, these behaviors are abnormal; these behaviors are healthy, these behaviors are unhealthy and sad, and saying that maybe my brain will never be like somebody else’s brain. I can stop thinking of the particulars of my mind as an enemy and an affliction to be overcome, and I can accept them as character traits, and then I can learn how to utilize them in a positive way without trying to fault myself for struggling with them. So I will not say, “Oh I’m happy now.” Because that’s not true of anyone.

Something is going to happen to you that will make you unhappy. That’s just the human condition. But you can have more peace than you had before.

::FREEWILLASTROLOGY ::BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Eighty-threeyear-old author Harlan Ellison has had a long and successful career. In the course of publishing hundreds of literary works in seven different genres, he has won numerous awards. But when he was in his 30s, there was an interruption in the upward arc of his career. The film production company Walt Disney Studios hired him as a writer. During his first day on the job, Roy Disney overheard Ellison joking with a co-worker about using Disney characters in an animated pornographic movie. Ellison was fired on the spot. I am by no means predicting a comparable event in your life, Aries. On the contrary. By giving you this heads-up, I’m hoping you’ll be scrupulous and adroit in how you act in the early stages of a new project—so scrupulous and adroit that you will sail on to the next stages.

more responsible? If so, banish that nonsense. The truth is this: The best way to manage your growing clout is to relax into it. The best way to express your growing clout is to relax into it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Are you an evolving Taurus or an unevolving Taurus? Are you an aspiring master of gradual, incremental progress or a complacent excuse-maker who secretly welcomes inertia? Will the theme of your next social media post be “The Smart Art of Compromise” or “The Stingy Glory of Stubbornness”? I’m hoping you will opt for the former rather than the latter in each of the three choices I just offered. Your behavior in the coming weeks will be pivotal in your long-term ability to animate your highest self and avoid lapsing into your mediocre self.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I’m about to say things that sound extraordinary. And it’s possible that they are in fact a bit overblown. But even if that’s the case, I trust that there is a core of truth in them. So rejoice in their oracular radiance. First, if you have been hoping for a miracle cure, the next four weeks will be a time when you’re more likely than usual to find it or generate it. Second, if you have fantasized about getting help to address a seemingly irremediable problem, asking aggressively for that help now will lead to at least a partial fix. Third, if you have wondered whether you could ever retrieve a lost or missing part of your soul, the odds are more in your favor than they’ve been in a long time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you fly in a passenger jet from New York to London, the trip usually takes more than six hours. But on January 8, 2015, a powerful jet stream surging across the North Atlantic reduced that time significantly. With the wind’s extra push, several flights completed the trip in five hours and 20 minutes. I suspect you’ll have comparable assistance in the course of your upcoming journeys and projects, Gemini. You’ll feel like the wind is at your back.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Actor Keanu Reeves’ career ascended to a higher level when he appeared as a lead character in the film Speed. It was the first time he had been a headliner in a big-budget production. But he turned down an offer to reprise his starring role in the sequel, Speed 2. Instead he toured with his grunge band Dogstar and played the role of Hamlet in a production staged by a local theater company in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I admire him for being motivated more by love and passion than by fame and fortune. In my estimation, Cancerian, you face a choice that in some ways resembles Keanu’s, but in other ways doesn’t.

You shouldn’t automatically assume that what your ego craves is opposed to what your heart yearns for and your soul needs.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A Leo sculptor I know is working on a 40-foot-long statue of a lion. Another Leo friend borrowed $30,000 to build a recording studio in her garage so she can pursue her quixotic dream of a music career. Of my other Leo acquaintances, one is writing a memoir of her time as a black-market orchid smuggler, another just did four sky dives in three days, and another embarked on a long-postponed pilgrimage to Slovenia, land of her ancestors. What about you? Are there any breathtaking challenges or smart gambles you’re considering? I trust you can surf the same astrological wave.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): How sexy is it possible for you to be? I’m referring to authentic soul-stirring sexiness, not the contrived, glitzy, counterfeit version. I’m alluding to the irresistible magnetism that wells up in you when you tap in to your core self and summon a reverent devotion to your life’s mission. However sexy it is possible for you to be, Virgo, I suggest you unleash that magic in the coming weeks. It’s the most reliable strategy for attracting the spiritual experiences and material resources and psychological support you need.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): According to my analysis of the cosmic omens, your impact is rising. You’re gaining influence. More people are tuning in to what you have to offer. And yet your stress levels also seem to be increasing. Why is that?

Do you assume that having more power requires you to endure higher tension? Do you unconsciously believe that being more worried is the price of being

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The immediate future will challenge you to revisit several fundamental Scorpio struggles. For best results, welcome these seeming intrusions as blessings and opportunities, and follow these guidelines: 1. Your control over external circumstances will increase in direct proportion to your control over your inner demons. 2. Your ability to do what you want will thrive to the degree that you stop focusing on what you don’t want. 3. Your skill at regulating and triumphing over chaos will be invincible if you’re not engrossed in blaming others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The French government defines books as an “essential good,” along with water, bread and electricity. Would you add anything to that list of life’s basics?

Companionship? Stories? Deep sleep? Pleasurable exercise and movement? Once you identify your “essential goods,” I invite you to raise the level of reverence and care you give them. Take an oath to treat them as holy treasures. Boost your determination and ability to get all you need of their blessings. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to enhance your appreciation of the fundamentals you sometimes take for granted.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Buckingham Palace is the home and office of the Queen of England. It has been the main royal residence since Queen Victoria took the throne in 1837.

But in earlier times, the site served other purposes.

The 17th-century English lawyer Clement Walker described the building occupying that land as a brothel, a hotbed of “debauchery.” Before that the space was a mulberry garden where silkworms turned mulberry leaves into raw material for silk fabrics. I see the potential for an almost equally dramatic transformation of a certain place in your life, Aquarius. Start dreaming and scheming about the possibilities.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Poet Carolyn Forché is a role model for how to leave one’s comfort zone. In her early career, she earned writing degrees at placid universities near her childhood home in the American Midwest. Her first book mined material about her family; its first poem is addressed to her grandmother. But then she relocated to El Salvador, where she served as a human rights advocate during that country’s civil war. Later she lived and wrote in Lebanon at the height of its political strife. Her drive to expand her range of experience invigorated her poetry and widened her audience. Would you consider drawing inspiration from Forché in the coming weeks and months, Pisces? I don’t necessarily recommend quite so dramatic a departure for you, but even a mild version will be well rewarded.
