Hybrid Program Featuring Live Performances and Dance Films by Current Students and Alumni Curator/Artistic Direc Gaucho Reunion: Hybrid Program featuring live performances and dance films by current students and alumni Curator/Artistic Director Brandon Whited June 19, 2021 Center Stage Theater Director’s Note It is with great joy and pleasure that we welcome you back to the theater. It goes without saying that this has been an incredi- bly challenging year. While many industries have been effected by the pandemic in significant ways, the performing arts—and dance in particular—have endured devastating economic and structural ramifi- cations. COVID’s impact on the arts has been widely un-addressed at the governmental level and it is due to the unshakeable support of arts advocates, donors, and community organizers that we are here today. This year—and the end of last school year—has had a dispro- portionate sense of loss for our seniors. The students’ visions for the culmination of four years of study took a sharp turn. Yet, with grace and adaptability they met the challenges and losses with energy and passion and turned every opportunity into a meaningful experience. It is with great pride that we witness the transcendence of these short- falls—both locally, and more broadly across the field of dance. When submissions for the festival call came in, and the pro- gram curation started taking shape, it was the robust response from new and recent UCSB Alumni that inspired the program tonight. The choreographers, directors, filmmakers, and dancers presenting their work are representatives of various cohorts from the last few years. Their assemblage expresses the power of lineage and the shared history that connects graduates of any institution. The return of these artist— in various stages in their personal and professional lives—is an exciting and inspiring example of what is possible when you have the courage to forge your own path. Thank you so much for spending the evening with us, and for your ongoing support of the performing arts. We hope to see you again soon! —Brandon Whited, Curator/Artistic Director Gaucho Reunion: Hybrid Program featuring live performances and dance films by current students and alumni There is no other .

Gianna is the co-founder/co-artistic director of the newly established international dance collective GBworks; which supports and produces work of female, female iden- tifying and non-binary artists that has crossed the borders of the US, England and Scotland with desire to keep expanding. “The autobiographical, collaborative process that was used to establish this new work created space for all collabora- tors to define the world that they are currently experiencing and also birth a world that they wish to see and be a part of. Effort of Hope questions what it means to not live fully and cherishes memories of past human connection while under- standing that we must never return to “normal”. Nancy Colahan danced professionally for 31 years, having performed in the choreography of major modern dance cho- reographers and companies, including Alvin Ailey Repertory Dance Theater, the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company, Barysh- nikov’s White Oak Dance Project, and American Repertory Dance Company.

Her work as a trainer influences Psychopomp deeply both in company practices and move- ment style. Shenandoah’s passion for the body is the throughline that connects all of her work together, believing that physical movement and a deeper understand- ing of the mind, body and spirit is the key to a more empathic and unified world.

Special support has been provided by Con Edison, The Walt Disney Company, A.L. and Jennie L. Luria Foundation, and May and Samuel Rudin Family Foundation, Inc. December 10, 2018 Dear Teachers, The resource and reference material in this guide for Malpaso Dance Company is filled with information and ideas that support the performance and the study unit you will create with your teaching artist. For this performance, Malpaso will present Ohad Naharin’s Tabla Rasa in its entirety. Tabula Rasa made its world premiere on the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre on February 6, 1986. Thirty-two years after that first performance, on May 4, 2018, this seminal work premiered on Malpaso Dance Company in Cuba. Check out the link here for the mini-documentary on Ohad Naharin’s travels to Havana to work with Malpaso. This link can also be found in the Resources section of this study guide. A new work by company member Beatriz Garcia Diaz will also be on the program, set to music by the Italian composer Ezio Bosso. The title of this work is the Spanish word Ser, which translates to “being” in English. I love this quote by Kathleen Smith from NOW Magazine Toronto: "As the theatre begins to vibrate with accumulated energy, you get the feeling that they could dance just about any genre with jaw-dropping style.

  • REPRODUCTION in AGE of the MECHANICAL WORK of ART Kevin Fellingham
    Thresholds 16 REPRODUCTION IN AGE OF THE MECHANICAL WORK OF ART Kevin Fellingham This is not really about speed. It is rather about touch. A slow and gentle touch may be called a caress, if at high speed and with great force, an impact. Speed and force. Perhaps we could say it is about velocity It may also be about the promiscuity of ideas. If Hannah Arendt is to be believed, then Walter Benjamin desired to produce "a work consisting entirely of quotations, one that was mounted so masterfully that it could dispense with any accompanying text, "which" may strike one as whimsical in the extreme and self-destructive to boot, but it was not, any more than were the contemporaneous surrealistic experiments which arose from similar impulses. To the extent that an accom- panying text by the author proved unavoidable, it was a matter of fashioning it in such a way as to preserve" the intention of such Investigations," namely " to plumb the depths of language and thought... by drilling rather than excavating"(briefe1, 3291, so as not to ruin everything with explanations that seek to provide a causal or systematic connection."
