  • Against Expression?: Avant-Garde Aesthetics in Satie's" Parade"
    Against Expression?: Avant-garde Aesthetics in Satie’s Parade A thesis submitted to the Division of Graduate Studies and Research of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC In the division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music 2020 By Carissa Pitkin Cox 1705 Manchester Street Richland, WA 99352 [email protected] B.A. Whitman College, 2005 M.M. The Boston Conservatory, 2007 Committee Chair: Dr. Jonathan Kregor, Ph.D. Abstract The 1918 ballet, Parade, and its music by Erik Satie is a fascinating, and historically significant example of the avant-garde, yet it has not received full attention in the field of musicology. This thesis will provide a study of Parade and the avant-garde, and specifically discuss the ways in which the avant-garde creates a dialectic between the expressiveness of the artwork and the listener’s emotional response. Because it explores the traditional boundaries of art, the avant-garde often resides outside the normal vein of aesthetic theoretical inquiry. However, expression theories can be effectively used to elucidate the aesthetics at play in Parade as well as the implications for expressability present in this avant-garde work. The expression theory of Jenefer Robinson allows for the distinction between expression and evocation (emotions evoked in the listener), and between the composer’s aesthetical goal and the listener’s reaction to an artwork. This has an ideal application in avant-garde works, because it is here that these two categories manifest themselves as so grossly disparate.

  • Download Urinetown Theatre Program
    From the Director Welcome to the UAH campus and thank you for joining us tonight. Now that the cold dark days of winter are fading, we are here to celebrate the coming of spring with a fun Broad- way musical. This talented and devoted cast of players, artists, directors and technicians have been toiling through the winter months to prepare this wonderful piece of theatre to share with you, our humble audience. UAH Theatre is proud to be a part of this rich artistic community and privileged to offer this creative study to our students. Please enjoy the show and be sure to tell your friends that we are here producing live theatre at Huntsville’s own University. David Harwell - Director About the Musical Winner of three Tony awards and one of the most uproariously funny musicals in recent years, URINETOWN is a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity’s most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides he’s had enough, and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom! Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, URINETOWN is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny. Greg Kotis had the idea for Urinetown while traveling in Europe.

  • Playmakers Presents Tony Award-Winning Musical “Ragtime”
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PlayMakers Repertory Company Presents Tony AwardⓇ Winning Musical Ragtime Paul Green Theatre Reimagined for a 360° Immersive Experience Who: PlayMakers Repertory Company What: “Ragtime” Book by Terrence McNally, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, music by Stephen Flaherty. Directed by Zi Alikhan. When: November 20 to December 15, 2019; Opening Night & Press Opening Saturday, November 23, 8:00 p.m. Where: PlayMakers Repertory Company, 120 Country Club Road, Chapel Hill, NC Tickets: Start at $15; Students tickets start at $10 (Chapel Hill, NC, November 13, 2019) PlayMakers Repertory Company proudly presents “Ragtime,” the Tony Award- winning epic musical that captures the electric, chaotic, at once hopeful and desolate world that was America at the turn of the last century. Directed with a prescient 21st century lens by Zi Alikhan in his PlayMakers debut, the production runs from November 20 to December 15. America at the dawn of the 20th century is a symphony of diverse and often clashing rhythms. Cultures collide with the influx of immigrants. The divide between rich and poor grows as industrial and financial giants loom large. Passions and tempers flare over the legacy of reconstruction that promised justice but never delivered it. Prepare to be swept away by a dynamic, immersive staging of “Ragtime” that brings the audience cheek-to-jowl with the intersecting lives of a wealthy white family, a Jewish immigrant and his daughter, and an African American ragtime musician. The Paul Green Theatre has been reimagined to create a 360° experience that envelopes the audience, puts them literally in the middle of the action, and provides a heightened ability to get inside the rollercoaster of living, breathing passions and pains of the great American experiment—one hundred years ago and today.
