  • ADF 'S 2021 Season Dedicated to Cynthia Wyse
    ADF 's 2021 Season Dedicated to Cynthia Wyse We are thrilled to dedicate the 2021 ADF Season to Cynthia Wyse, our devoted Director of Finance & Administration. For the past 33 summers, Cynthia’s stewardship of ADF’s fiscal well-being and untiring work to support the festival’s programs have been extraordinary. An Ohio native who committed much of her life’s work toward an art form that was at first foreign to her, she became one of ADF’s biggest champions. Beyond the oversight of financial and administrative matters, Cynthia has led ADF’s internship program and provided mentorship to countless finance interns. She has made sure that artists, faculty, musicians, and staff were always paid and in the midst of it all was a nurturer to many. Frequent cheese balls and plentiful snacks provided by her have kept the staff nourished and re-energized during the most challenging days. We are going to miss Cynthia when she retires at the end of this calendar year, but we have so much gratitude for all that she has given to ADF. We wish her much happiness as she choreographs the next chapter in her life! To honor Cynthia’s legacy, we are launching a campaign to establish the Wyse Finance Internship Fund. The goal is to raise at least $25k over the next four months. ADF is contributing $12.5k to kick things off! Interest from the endowed gift will cover the annual stipend for our finance intern. We hope you will help us celebrate Cynthia and make a contribution that will have a lasting effect on nurturing and training future performing arts administrators.

  • Oral History Interview with Chuck Close, 1987 May 14-September 30
    Oral history interview with Chuck Close, 1987 May 14-September 30 Funding for the digital preservation of this interview was provided by a grant from the Save America's Treasures Program of the National Park Service. Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Chuck Close on May 14, 1987. The interview took place at the artist's studio on 75 Spring Street, New York City, and was conducted by Judd Tully for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview JUDD TULLY: According to published information, you were born in the state of Washington in 1940. What was your actual birthdate and tell me a little bit about Monroe, Washington? CHUCK CLOSE: July 5, 1940. Monroe, Washington, was a smelly little town halfway up the Cascade Mountains, northeast of Seattle. I didn't live there very long, actually. I was born at home -- not in a hospital -- of humble beginnings. Actually, I want to go back and photograph the house, because if I were a politician it would be great to have a picture of the shack that I was born in. [They laugh.] MR. TULLY: Was it really a shack? MR. CLOSE: Well, it wasn't a real shack, but it was a very modest little cottage. "Cottage" is giving it all the benefit of the doubt. It was definitely on the wrong side of the tracks -- about thirty five feet from the tracks.

    FIVE COLLEGE DAncE DEPARTMENT NEWSLETTER 2005–2006 FCDD WINS A NATIONAL COLLEGE CHOREOGRAPHY InITIATIVE GRANT TO DANCE TRISHA BROWN’S SET AND RESET he FCDD has been awarded a National College Choreography Initiative grant to have Trisha Brown’s pivotal work, Set and Reset, taught to an auditioned group of FCDD dancers for performance in three concerts in the spring of 2006. Our cosponsor for this project is the Weissman Center for Leadership at Mount Holyoke College, which will host Brown in a public lecture on Febru- ary 10 as part of a series on Leading Women in the Arts. T VINCENT PEREIRA Since her early years with the Judson Dance Theater, Brown has been captivated by the infinite ways movements can be manipulated and the possibilities for developing structure and form. Her process of creating structure is evident in her description of Set and Reset as based on a rectangular dance circumventing the peripheral edge of the stage space. Brown Trisha Brown says, “I think of it as a delivery system for other smaller units of dance—duets and trios that are issued up into the center of the stage. In the building process I gave the dancers a set of instructions that include: keep it simple, act on instinct, work with visibility and invisibility, and RE work with lining up.” For Brown, the structure College Hampshire Building, Dance www.fivecolleges.edu/sites/dance Five College Dance Department Dance College Five and choices the dancers make in how to de- turn Amherst, MA 01002 MA Amherst, SE 893 West Street West 893 liver themselves to the center is as provocative 549-3600 (413) R as the steps performed.
