Total enrollment is approxi- mately 500 students. In addition, the College offers Masters of Fine Arts degrees in dance, drama, music, visual arts, and writing and literature; a Master of Arts in Teaching degree; a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies degree; and a Postbaccalaureate Certificate in premedical and allied health sciences. Since its inception in 1932, Bennington has been recognized as an innovator in higher education; most recently, it has broken new ground in academic restructuring, creative uses of new technologies, and foreign language learning. Bennington has adhered throughout its history to a distinctive set of ideals and practices, resulting in a liberal arts curriculum that grants equal weight to arts and sciences, focuses on the making of new work as the central learning experience, includes an annual Field Work Term internship, uses written reports as the core of each student's evaluation, and offers programs of study tailored to students' interests and needs. All academic programs at Bennington are undertaken in a common frame: a first year of grounding and exploration that does not ask students to defer pursuing their own interests, but insists that they engage the diversity of intellectual and imaginative life; sophomore and junior years of increasing immersion and field work; and a senior year that faces outward, exploring and deepening the relationship between individual work and the outside world.

    Earth People In March 2001, a group of multi-talented musicians and friends premiered Waking the Living, a television broadcast performance, and the free-form music group Earth People was born. Deeply rooted in almost every major musical tradition, ancient and modern, the members of Earth People have combined to form the vanguard of the modern avant-garde. Earth People’s music constantly evolves, taking a new form and direction with every “cosmic offering.” They have been dubbed “local legends” in New York City, and All About Jazz New York has praised their latest release, Now Is Rising; “What a CD! In this era of war and strife, Earth People stands as a shining example of the beauty and harmony human beings are capable of creating.” Sky Readers, their last release was described as “a full throttle adventure ... the new new music, an up-to-date message from jazz avant-garde: the music is alive and well, and Earth People is one of its strongest contributors.” Musical boundaries are crossed with unprejudiced ease: Jazz, Funk, World Music, Rock, Electronic, Free, Classical and the unclassifiable. At the core of Earth People is André Martinez (former Cecil Taylor collaborator on drums and percussion), Doug Principato (guitars, vocals & synthesizers) and Jason Candler (saxophones and guitar). These three musicians are the chief composers, arrangers and administrators for the group. Like the planet from which they take their name, Earth People’s core is surrounded by the hot magma of three main players ... Sabir Mateen on multi-reeds, Francóis Grillot on contra-bass, and Mark Hennen on grand piano & synthesizers.

  • “Loss Is More Than Sadness” Reading Dissent in Transracial Adoption Melodrama in E Language of Blood and First Person Plural
    Seoul, South Korea, 3 August 2010 © 2010 Kim Park Nelson “Loss is more than sadness” Reading Dissent in Transracial Adoption Melodrama in e Language of Blood and First Person Plural Minnesota State University, Moorhead, USA Somehow, I felt that the American adoptive parents didn’t quite see the orphans and the mothers as people but rather as interesting specimens, a menagerie of per- sonied sorrow. Korean adoptee author Jane Jeong Trenka writes the words “Loss is more than sadness,” in her 2003 memoir e Language of Blood. She is describing her life at a crossroads of grief af- ter the death of her birth mother, estrangement from her adoptive parents, and administrative runaround from her adoption agency. Recently produced narrative works by transracial and transnational adoptees focus on sadness, loss, and trauma as central experiences. is idea of sadness as an integral part of the transracial adoption experience stands in contrast to the other, more dominant representation of transracial adoption as an overwhelmingly positive experi- ence marked by familial fulllment, generosity, and unconditional, colorblind love. However, within recent transracial adoptee-centered and/or authored works, a different characterization of the adoptee as a tragic survivor of adoption-related family and social trauma has taken shape. ese works include the written memoirs (such as e Unforgotten War: Dust of the Streets by Korean adoptee omas Park Clement,⁴ e Book of Sarahs by African American-White biracial adoptee Catherine McKinley,⁵ A Single Square Picture by Korean adoptee Katy Robin- son,⁶ Ten ousand Sorrows by Korean adoptee Elizabeth Kim,⁷ and e Language of Blood by Korean adoptee Jane Jeong Trenka, and documentary or documentary memoir on lm, such as Daughter from Danang (on Vietnamese adoptee Heidi Bub) directed by Gail Dolgin and Vi- cente Franco,⁸ Passing rough by Korean adoptee Nathan Adolfson,⁹ and First Person Plural, directed by Korean adoptee Deann Borshay.⁰ Like many other memoirs, each of these stories 1.

  • Transracial Adoption Reading and Resources
    Post Adoption Information Sheet No 23 Intercountry And Transracial Adoption Reading And Resources Personal stories Our Son, A Stranger: Adoption breakdown and its effects on parents By Marie Adams Published by McGill-Queen’s University Press in 2002 The author gives a compassionate account of the experiences of five families who adopted indigenous Canadian sons. In each case the parents were caring, perhaps unduly optimistic, without effective support, and gradually alienated by the behaviours of their sons who prematurely left their care. While it is a very readable book, Marie Adams is also an academic, so the work includes a well-researched careful analysis of the impact of the adoption breakdown on parents, what went wrong and what could be learned. It ends with some especially wise advice which would be useful to any parents having problems. The Colour of Difference: Journeys in Transracial Adoption Edited by Sarah Armstrong & Petrina Slaytor Published by The Federation Press for the Post Adoption Resource Centre in 2001 Moving, perceptive, often happy, and occasionally devastating, The Colour of Difference contains the stories of 27 transracial Australian adoptees. Each tells their story of self-discovery, of going back to their roots in search of a more complete understanding of themselves, sometimes to the country of their birth. Editors Sarah Armstrong and Petrina Slaytor also draw together the common threads of the contributors’ experiences to give us the adoptees’ recipe for how transracial adoption can best work. The Road to Parenthood, Adoption and Beyond by Sam Henry Published by Hisperian Press in 2003 This is a very personal account from an Australian adoptive father’s perspective, of his and his wife’s unsuccessful struggle to have a child born to them, through the assessment and waiting process, to their trips to Ethiopia and their challenging experiences of building a family.

  • Friday, Oct. 25 at the Graduate Center, Elebash Hall
    1 Friday, Oct. 25 at The Graduate Center, Elebash Hall Session 1: the 1950s & 60s in context 9:00-9:30 am, Eric Charry, “The Development of Cecil Taylor’s Musical Language in the 1950s and 1960s” Cecil Taylor’s new musical language is audible from his very first album, Jazz Advance, recorded in fall 1956 when he was 27 years old. By exploring the interplay of pianistic textures (interactions between the two hands) and directional gestures and contours (ascending or descending lines, moving or static clusters), Taylor created new stories to be told and laid the foundation for developments that have resounded to the present day. Taylor’s approach precluded the necessity for a steady pulse and meter, and with the arrival of drummer Sunny Murray in 1960 and bassist Henry Grimes in 1961 his unit began to join him in breaking through the musical forms of the day and forging new ones. Taylor’s innovations yielded an extraordinary burst of extended solo piano recordings, from Carmen with Rings (1967) and Praxis (1968) through Indent (1973) and Silent Tongues (1974). Few in Taylor’s generation systematized and wrote down the codes to their language for others to decipher, with exceptions like George Russell (1923-2009). Anthony Braxton (1945-) would do just that for his own music in his 5-volume Composition Notes (1988), which codified a system of 99 “sound classifications,” including gestures such as accelerating, gliss, long, low, parallel, and trills. The intellectual underpinnings of Braxton’s music from the late 1960s onward can be linked directly to Taylor’s breakthroughs.
