EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING THROUGH THE ARTS

We at the Hop strive to create powerful group experiences in the arts for students, and to help faculty keep arts at the center of Dartmouth’s commitment to experiential learning. For those of you new to Curricular Connections, it is a Hop program that enables you to bring a class to a course-required arts event and—in cases for which no other funding is readily available—pays in full for tickets for those students and one faculty member. The program supports curricular connections for all of our Hop arts events: visiting artists, Hop Ensembles, ﬁlms and more.

This digital guide aims to help you explore possible connections between live arts events and specific courses being oered this term. Although not all of the term’s films are included in this guide, there are many possible connections between courses and our film oerings. Also, if you see a connection that we missed, please tell us. We welcome your input and thank you for your ongoing interest!

Please be in touch if you have any questions; and if you already have something in mind, just ﬁll out a Curricular Connections Request Form.

Please contact us if you see a curricular connection we can pursue together. Your students will thank you for it! How to order tickets Please ﬁll out an order form here, Kate Adams Johanna Evans and if there are any questions email Advisor on Student Relations Film Programming Manager [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]. 603.646.2315 603.646.2576

Cory Henry & the Funk Apostles Fri, Jun 21, 8 pm Spaulding Auditorium

“I believe that love will find a way,” sings Cory Henry. And he’ll make you believe, too. With his supple voice, soulful songwriting and chops on the Hammond B-3 organ, Henry “serves up a sermon of soulful bliss” (Denver Post) with R&B, Afrobeat, gospel and jazz. Graced with Grammy awards for his work with Brooklyn’s Snarky Puppy and his own namesake band, Henry has been called one of the finest organ players of his generation.

“For there is no folly of the beast of the earth which is not infinitely outdone by the madness of men,” Herman Melville wrote in Moby-Dick. Compressing the novel’s details, characters and gigantic themes into one riveting night of theater, veteran Irish actor Conor Lovett reels us into the harsh world of 19th-century whale hunting. In this battle with nature, the humans are determined to win—but at what cost? This engrossing, one-man refresh of Melville’s 1851 novel is backed by 10-string fiddler Caoimhin O’Raghallaigh (of The Gloaming). An American literary anchor splashes on stage.

Dance Heginbotham and Alarm Will Sound Wed, Jun 26, 8 pm The Moore Theater

The eight-member Dance Heginbotham brings its celebrated athleticism, humor and theatricality to live music by the 22-member new music band Alarm Will Sound (“original, vivid, reckless” Los Angeles Times). DH is led by John Heginbotham, who also directs the Dartmouth Dance Ensemble and choreographed the acclaimed remake of Oklahoma that just moved to Broadway. The evening includes new Heginbotham choreography to selections from AWS’s new CD Acoustica—unprecedented acoustic versions of electronica— as well as his Hop-commissioned new choreography for composer Tyondai Braxton’s chamber work Common Fate.

Iris DeMent Sat, Jun 29, 8 pm Spaulding Auditorium

Iris Dement is a voice for an America seeking roots and meaning. As Cory Henry marries retro-funk with Afro-Futurism, so Dement brings a modern sensibility to the timeless pentecostal gospel twang of her native Ozarks. Twenty-seven years after she pioneered what we now call “Americana” with her debut album Infamous Angel, she is still sharing powerful stories and shining a light into dark places.

Humans by Circa Fri & Sat, Jun 28 & 29, 8 pm Sun, Jun 30, 3 pm The Moore Theater

Body, space, force and balance. In this heart-stopping nouveau cirque adventure that earned rave reviews on several continents, Australian circus artist/athletes test the limits of the human body. Forms fly through the air. Towers emerge and tumble. This virtuosic meditation on the body plays with the laws of physics, ratcheting up the tension between us and the space we move through.

Inuksuit Sat, Jun 29, 3 pm The Bema Outdoor Amphitheater

Wander through a landscape of instruments—conch shells, gongs, drums, glockenspiels and more—in a subtle duet with the ambient sounds of nature. Named after the stone piles used by native people to orient themselves in Arctic spaces, Inuksuit was created by environmental composer John Luther Adams. This event will involve up to 99 professional and community musicians in an outdoor campus location. Listeners will wander among them and shape their own experience, discovering the listening points that call out most to them. Directed by Dartmouth music lecturer Amy Garapic.

Lula Wiles Wed, Jul 10, 5:30 pm Dartmouth Green

Hailing us from the junction of tradition and revolution, this trio reclaims folk music, infusing it with pop hooks, multi-layered vocals and other modern sounds. Isa Burke, Eleanor Buckland and Mali Obomsawin (Dartmouth class of 2018) are natives of rural Maine who connected in Boston and have gone on to grace the stages of the Newport and Philadelphia folk festivals. Riding on the release of their 2019 sophomore album What Will We Do, they’ve garnered acclaim from NPR Music and the Boston Music Awards and have shared stages with the likes of Aoife O’Donovan, the Wood Brothers and Tim O’Brien.

Ranky Tanky Wed, Jul 17, 5:30 pm Dartmouth Green

“Ranky tanky” translates loosely as “get funky” in the Gullah dialect of the southeastern Sea Island region, and that’s exactly what this Charleston, SC-based quintet aims to do. They add a jazz backbone to traditional Gullah songs, from children’s game songs to ecstatic shouts to heartbreaking spirituals. Strongly infused with West African rhythms, it’s music that “makes you want to dance and sing along with hope” (Afropop Worldwide).

More comedy than tragedy, the movie paints a complex portrait of the tension between tradition and modernity—pre-dating The Jazz Singer by four years. This long-lost silent classic has just been restored to its original glory and the accompanying musicians will play a custom-made score.
