Annual Report 2019/20 SEASON ANNUAL REPORT 1 STAY PRESENT STAY 2019—20 SEASON IN REVIEW LETTER FROM OUR PRESIDENT UMS’s 2019/20 season was truly unlike any other in our 141-year history. With the arrival in mid-March of a novel coronavirus that quickly became a global pandemic, we found ourselves, like so many other organizations, needing to pivot suddenly to new ways of delivering on our mission of Connecting Audiences and Artists in Uncommon and Engaging Experiences. Notwithstanding the abrupt ending, the first six months of our season were filled with many exciting events and activities, which we’re excited to share with you here in this annual report. While the immediate future is still uncertain, UMS is financially secure thanks to the incredible support of the community over the years. Our lean structure allows us to be more nimble than many other larger arts organizations; we are also fortunate to have an amazingly creative team of people and enjoy deep, long-lasting relationships with artists around the world. As we work together to navigate all the changes in the coming months, I want to assure you that we will continue to always commit to our “north star” — to being an ever present and positive force in bringing our community together. Thank you for all that you have done to keep us strong.

  • The American Film Musical and the Place(Less)Ness of Entertainment: Cabaret’S “International Sensation” and American Identity in Crisis
    humanities Article The American Film Musical and the Place(less)ness of Entertainment: Cabaret’s “International Sensation” and American Identity in Crisis Florian Zitzelsberger English and American Literary Studies, Universität Passau, 94032 Passau, Germany; fl[email protected] Received: 20 March 2019; Accepted: 14 May 2019; Published: 19 May 2019 Abstract: This article looks at cosmopolitanism in the American film musical through the lens of the genre’s self-reflexivity. By incorporating musical numbers into its narrative, the musical mirrors the entertainment industry mise en abyme, and establishes an intrinsic link to America through the act of (cultural) performance. Drawing on Mikhail Bakhtin’s notion of the chronotope and its recent application to the genre of the musical, I read the implicitly spatial backstage/stage duality overlaying narrative and number—the musical’s dual registers—as a means of challenging representations of Americanness, nationhood, and belonging. The incongruities arising from the segmentation into dual registers, realms complying with their own rules, destabilize the narrative structure of the musical and, as such, put the semantic differences between narrative and number into critical focus. A close reading of the 1972 film Cabaret, whose narrative is set in 1931 Berlin, shows that the cosmopolitanism of the American film musical lies in this juxtaposition of non-American and American (at least connotatively) spaces and the self-reflexive interweaving of their associated registers and narrative levels. If metalepsis designates the transgression of (onto)logically separate syntactic units of film, then it also symbolically constitutes a transgression and rejection of national boundaries. In the case of Cabaret, such incongruities and transgressions eventually undermine the notion of a stable American identity, exposing the American Dream as an illusion produced by the inherent heteronormativity of the entertainment industry.

    CHAPTER 11.19 ART Garth Evans But, Hands Have Eyes: Six decades of sculpture Until 26.01.20 ‘But, Hands Have Eyes’ is a solo exhibition featuring six decades of sculpture. Alongside works produced in the UK in the 1960s and 70s, Evans also presents a body of work for their UK premiere, that he has produced in the United States since his move there in 1981. The work of Garth Evans is integral to the history of British sculpture. Experimenting with the potential of scale, weight, medium and form, Evans’ work comprises both a formal and conceptual approach. He is always interested in interrogating established boundaries and, as a result, his sculptures are made from a diverse range of materials including ceramics, steel, leather and fibreglass. Evans states that many of his works, even when most abstract, are “triggers for, and containers of, particular identifiable memories”. Ultimately, Garth Evans’ works are ambiguous, multi-faceted and completely original. Talks at 4 16.11.19 FREE Are you interested in finding out a little bit more about our latest exhibition? Then why not join us for a free and informal guided tour! Our ‘Talks at 4’ are led by our wonderful gallery assistants and are a great way to delve a little deeper into our current exhibition by Garth Evans and his approach to his work. No two talks are the same so come along and be a part of the conversation. Art in the Bar Jon Pountney Waiting For The Light Until 14.02.20 ‘Waiting for the Light’ is a body of photographic works that capture a particular type of light; a harsh, acutely angled low sunlight that gives the scenes in Jon Pountney’s images a somewhat surreal and melancholy feel.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CAP UCLA presents John Cameron Mitchell The Origin Of Love Tour Songs and Stories of Hedwig With special guest Amber Martin Featuring the songs of Hedwig by Stephen Trask Produced by ArKtype April 11 at The Theatre at Ace Hotel, DTLA “The Origin of Love [is] a punk-rock live behind the music episode of sorts and a gift to Hedwig heads everywhere.” — DC Theatre Scene UCLA’s Center for the Art of Performance (CAP UCLA) presents John Cameron Mitchell’s The Origin Of Love Tour on Saturday, April 11, at The Theatre at Ace Hotel in Downtown LA. Tickets starting at $28 are available now at cap.ucla.edu, 310-825-2101 and the Royce Hall box office. The Origin of Love Tour investigates Hedwig and The Angry Inch’s origins following 25- years of worldwide influence as one of alt-culture’s most beloved and enduring creations, and John Cameron Mitchell’s ideas and relationships to show business. In addition to songs from the gender-bending rock musical that opened off-Broadway in 1998, released as an acclaimed film in 2001, won the Tony Award for best musical revival in 2014, and has spawned legions of adoring “Hed-Head’s” worldwide, the audience will learn about Mitchell’s rebellion against Broadway tropes, meeting songwriter Trask and his beloved bandmember Jack who became his boyfriend, growing up queer in a military family, Platonic and Gnostic Christian philosophy and its connection to non- binary gender expression, and the influence of Lou Reed and David Bowie. Mitchell also performs songs from his podcast series Anthem: Homunculus and his last film, the punk-era How to Talk to Girls at Parties, as well as his recent acclaimed EP of Lou Reed covers with Eyelids and Peter Buck entitled “Turning Time Around.” New York Vocalist, Cabaret Star and Comedic Monologist Amber Martin joins Mitchell along with very special guests in this rousing performance.
