  • Winter 2021 Performance Studies Course Listings
    WINTER 2021 PERFORMANCE STUDIES COURSE LISTINGS College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA) Undergraduate Level (100-400) Issues in African Studies - Symbolic Language and Communications in West African Visual and Performing Arts (​AAS 206, 3 credits) Kwasi Ampene Survey of African American Cinema (AAS 232, 3 credits) Scott Poulson-Bryant This course examines the history and aesthetics of African American filmmaking from the silent era to the present. Films are analyzed within their socio-cultural contexts, with particular attention to how race and identity interact with class, gender, and sexuality. We consider the link between film and other forms of Black popular culture. Threads: What Does Clothing Have to Do with Race, Culture, Politics, and the Environment? (AAS 317, 3 credits) Megan Sweeney As our readings and discussions will highlight, clothing signals individuality and social legibility. It's a necessity and a privilege, protective and decorative, utilitarian and the stuff of consuming artistic passion. Clothes manage anxieties and create them, serve as armor and sometimes as sword. They reconcile and multiply our various selves. Clothing is a domain of the deadly serious and a domain of the lighthearted. So, put on your favorite outfit and get ready to think, read, write, and collaborate! Topics in Black World Studies - Hip Hop Africa ​(​AAS 358.007, 3 credits) Kwasi Ampene The seminar will offer students an ethnomusicological perspective on performing arts and power in Sub-Saharan Africa. We shall investigate musical performances as modes of resistance, a means for negotiating power, establishing social identity, providing agency and empowerment, and as a means for constructing gender spaces.

GET ALL THE INFO AT WWW.DLOMUSICALTHEATRE.COM Director’s Note “There’s a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams.” - Curtains Curtains is a new musical with an old soul. It has the humor and snap of a Hepburn and Tracy film, the romance and glamour of a Fred and Ginger dance sequence, and the deliciously deceptive mystery of an Agatha Christie novel. At its heart, it is a love letter to the magic of theater, and to the talent and dedication of the “show people” - both onstage and off - who bring a production to life. Nominated for eight Tony Awards, including Best Score and Best Musical, Curtains is, to my mind, a criminally unknown show. For most of you, this will be your first time seeing it. I hope it delights and entertains you as much as it has me. Enjoy the show. ~Chelsea Zych, Director CURTAINS Book by RUPERT HOLMES Music by JOHN KANDER Lyrics by FRED EBB Original Book and Concept by PETER STONE Additional Lyrics by JOHN KANDER and RUPERT HOLMES Originally Produced on Broadway by Roger Berlind, Roger Horchow, Daryl Roth, Jane Bergère, Ted Hartley and Center Theatre Group.

As Rochester’s flagship professional theatre, Geva is the most attended regional theatre in New York State, and one of the 25 most subscribed in the country, serving up to 160,000 patrons annually, including 20,000 students. Founded in 1972 by William Selden and Cynthia Mason Selden, Geva was originally housed in the Rochester Business Institute building on South Clinton Avenue. In 1982, Geva purchased and converted its current space – formerly a NYS Arsenal designed by noted Rochester architect Andrew J Warner and built in 1868 – and opened its new home at the Richard Pine Theatre in March 1985. Geva operates two venues – the 516-seat Elaine P. Wilson Stage and the 180-seat Ron & Donna Fielding Stage. As one of the country’s leading theatre companies and a member of the national League of Resident Theatres, Geva produces a varied contemporary repertoire from musicals to world premieres celebrating the rich tapestry of our diverse community. We draw upon the talents of some of the country’s top actors, directors, designers and writers who are shaping the American Theatre scene. Geva’s education programs serve 20,000 students annually through student matinees, in-school workshops, theatre tours, career day, the acclaimed Summer Academy training program, and opportunities such as the Stage Door Project, which pairs a local school with a production in the Geva season giving students an exclusive look into the entire process of producing a show.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Art and Life in America by Oliver W. Larkin Harvard Art Museums / Fogg Museum | Bush-Reisinger Museum | Arthur M. Sackler Museum. In this allegorical portrait, America is personified as a white marble goddess. Dressed in classical attire and crowned with thirteen stars representing the original thirteen colonies, the figure gives form to associations Americans drew between their democracy and the ancient Greek and Roman republics. Like most nineteenth-century American marble sculptures, America is the product of many hands. Powers, who worked in Florence, modeled the bust in plaster and then commissioned a team of Italian carvers to transform his model into a full-scale work. Nathaniel Hawthorne, who visited Powers’s studio in 1858, captured this division of labor with some irony in his novel The Marble Faun: “The sculptor has but to present these men with a plaster cast . and, in due time, without the necessity of his touching the work, he will see before him the statue that is to make him renowned.” Identification and Creation Object Number 1958.180 People Hiram Powers, American (Woodstock, NY 1805 - 1873 Florence, Italy) Title America Other Titles Former Title: Liberty Classification Sculpture Work Type sculpture Date 1854 Places Creation Place: North America, United States Culture American Persistent Link https://hvrd.art/o/228516 Location Level 2, Room 2100, European and American Art, 17th–19th century, Centuries of Tradition, Changing Times: Art for an Uncertain Age.
