Engaging with the Student Arts Audience For many Texas Performing Arts student employees, Tim Rogers is a familiar face around campus.

As Assistant Director of Student Engagement at TPA, Tim is their go-to guy for all fun activities within the organization: Hook ’em Arts, AmBASSadors, student employment, and The Loft.

This very talented and very busy employee has also taken on a new professional venture—teaching. In the spring of 2019, Tim will teach a class on campus within the College of Fine Arts. The course, Engaging with the Arts from the Audience, offers students an opportunity to

Texas Performing Arts is dedicated to enriching the experience of students.

fulfill a fine arts requirement or an elective while gaining a deeper understanding of the arts.

“I hope to show my students the impact of all types of art and how unfamiliar artwork can be rewarding,” said Tim. “I want to help them learn new ways to appreciate the arts.”

The class will give students the opportunity to blend their academic time with the performing arts, exposing them to these worldclass experiences on campus that they may otherwise miss. Students will learn about the history and context of fine arts performances in Texas Performing Arts Essential Series Season as well as other mediums of art like sculpture, digital art, and gallery artwork while exploring the impact it leaves on our culture.

“All art comes out of an expression of culture and, whether we are texasperformingarts.org

participating or viewing that art, understanding where it came from can enrich our experience,” said Tim. Although this spring will mark his second class, Tim has been making strides towards creating this fusion of academics and live performances for some time.

“When I initially joined the team in 2013, I had an interest in eventually teaching,” said Tim. “I researched Student Engagement programs at peer institutions and took note of ways that we might fill in the gaps.”

Over the course of his six-year tenure, the UT alumnus (Master of Music, 2008) has been working with Texas Performing Arts Director and Associate Dean Kathy Panoff and the Associate Dean of the College of Fine Arts, Andrew Dell’Antonio to develop this course and provide the best performing arts experience to texasperformingarts.org

“I hope to show my students the impact of all types of art and how unfamiliar artwork can be rewarding.” our students.

And although a student’s time on campus is generally brief in the grand scheme of their professional careers, Tim knows that this is the best time in their lives to explore all that the fine arts has to offer.

“Like the fine arts, the population of students is constantly changing.

The average student is on campus for four years and then moves on to the next part of their life,” said Tim. “It’s exciting to see them grow personally and professionally over the years. I find that part of my job is very fulfilling.”

Hannah Robbins Hopkins Second-Year Masters Student Senior Student Associate for Campus & Community Engagement Information Studies/ English

e met with Hannah Robbins Hopkins to chat about the performing arts, her academic studies, and her time as a valued student employee.

INFORMATION STUDIES AND ENGLISH IS AN INTERESTING COMBINATION OF MAJORS. TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT THAT.

I love getting to do interdisciplinary work, and I believe that my research is so much stronger for it. Most of my research deals with teenagers’ communication practices in online spaces and the ways in which they are really making and shaping language in areas like social media.

12

Being a part of a dual program means that we’re able to engage with wonderful faculty and exciting research across several parts of campus.

WHAT IS YOUR ROLE AT TPA?

This is my second year as the Senior Student Associate for Campus & Community Engagement (CCE).

Mostly, this means that I design lessons and instructional materials for schools as a part of the Performing texasperformingarts.org

Arts and Academic Connection program. This role gives me the opportunity to visit area schools to work with teachers and administrators as we’re designing lessons. I also help design educational tours, coordinate events, and create other resources for CCE.

AS SOMEONE WHO HAS SUCH A PASSION FOR EDUCATION AND THE ARTS, HOW DO YOU FEEL THE PERFORMING ARTS IMPACTS THE STUDENTS IN THE AUDIENCE?

When students see themselves represented in the performing arts, there’s an invitation to create their own dreams. Attending youth performances can help them to be inclusive, engaged, and considerate community members. As students are learning about self-expression, exposure to the arts can be instrumental in fostering healthy relationships.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE PERFORMING ARTS?

I love seeing students and new artists stretch themselves technically and creatively. Whether it’s a new role as a stage manager or especially complex choreography, it’s evident when students have put in the long hours of work and are truly proud of the results.

ARTIST STATEMENT This collaboration brings together live musical performance by Terence Blanchard and the E-Collective, choreography and dance by Rennie Harris and his company and Andrew F. Scott’s visual projections, sculpture and projection mapping. This project expands upon the theme that Terence Blanchard began exploring a few years ago.

Responding to real life events stemming from racial tension and injustice, Blanchard and the E-Collective recorded an album, Breathless, and performed across America, visiting cities most affected by racial conflict by police and against police, including Dallas. Feeling empowered by the strong emotional reaction from the audiences—many were moved to tears—and recognizing the healing impact of his music on people, Blanchard decided to continue the conversation and engage more artists.

Terence Blanchard, Andrew F. Scott, and Rennie Harris have teamed up to add a new dimension to the work Blanchard has done, to bring about a changing of hearts and souls.

Blanchard’s fusion of jazz, R&B, blues, funk, and soul synergistically interweaves with Harris’s approach to movement, which represents a kind of archaeology of the human spirit through the vernacular of African American dance styles. Scott’s conceptually-based visual projections and installations, which are rooted in African and African American art and culture, seamlessly integrates into the overall artistic narrative. The skeleton of the work examines these larger societal issues, while the individual nuances of the stories reflect 18

the life experiences of each artist and their thoughts and feelings about Black Lives in the 21st century.

ARTIST BIOS Terence Blanchard made a name for himself as a top-tier jazz trumpeter who has gone on to enjoy a multifaceted career in jazz and beyond. He’s not only a five-time Grammy Award winner, he’s one of the most influential jazz musicians and film score masters of his generation—a member of a jazz legacy that has shaped the contours of modern jazz today. He’s been recognized by USA Artists, the MAPFund and the NEA for his work in the jazz idiom and beyond.

Rennie Harris pioneered a new genre, with “Street Dance Theater” receiving three Bessie, two Black Theater and one Herb Alpert award.

“The most respected, the most brilliant hip-hop choreographer in America” (New York Times). Voted one of the most influential people in the last one hundred years of Philadelphia history and compared to dance legend Bob Fosse, Harris was featured in Portraits of America’s Great Choreographers and is a Kennedy Center Medal recipient, Rose and Guggenheim Fellow and served as an ambassador of hip-hop for President Obama.

Andrew F. Scott is a visual artist living and working in Dallas who specializes in the intersection of digital fabrication technologies and traditional fine arts practices. He is currently an Associate Professor of Art and Technology in the School texasperformingarts.org

A lasting legacy…

In April 2018, Texas Performing Arts lost a dear friend, Phillip Auth, who was a dedicated patron, donor, and member of the TPA Director’s Council.

Phillip enjoyed world music, jazz, and theater, but his passion was contemporary dance. In his will, Phillip made a bequest to establish the Phillip Auth Endowed Dance Fund. This gift from Phillip’s estate will be invested and proceeds will provide permanent, ongoing support for dance programming at Texas Performing Arts. Thanks to Phillip’s extraordinary generosity, future audiences will be able to enjoy the world-class contemporary dance that he loved so much.

If, like Phillip, you would like to leave a legacy that provides future generations the opportunity to enjoy the performances that bring so much joy to your life, we can help.
