This production is entered in the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival (KC/ACTF). The aims of this national

theater education program are to identify and promote quality in college-level theater productions. To this end, each production entered is eligible for a response by a regional KC/ACTF representative, and certain students are selected to participate in KC/ACTF programs at both the regional and national levels.

Welcome to Moving Pictures. Tonight’s program features new works by three U-M Department of Dance faculty: Melissa Beck, Bill De Young, and Peter Sparling. Our guest artist this year is the New York-based choreographer Andrea Miller, founder and Artistic Director of Gallim Dance. The Unbearable Lightness, Beautiful Wreck and Girl Talk were created in twice-weekly rehearsals through the 2013 Fall term while Miller’s Pupil Suite (2010) was set by Jonathan Royse Windham during a two-week intensive in October. Tal Adler-Arieli joined us last week as the work transitioned from studio rehearsals in the Dance Building to the Power Center stage. It has been an intensive and inspiring journey for everyone involved in tonight’s concert and we are thrilled to share our performances with you.

Choreographer’s Note: Imagine that you and your family live in a dark time, under a totalitarian regime—a regime that has utopian dreams for a better world but whose methods dictate and proscribe the way, the path that all must follow. Adhere or perish—if you dissent you are humiliated, crushed or perhaps you just quietly abide, live in the shadows, a sliver with a smirk on your face. You drink too much, normative behavior pales—quiet surrender or Saturnalia beneath the sheets, many empty swerves. But little by little, the overseers of this utopia loosen their grip, lassitude, a cigarette and a glass of beer in an outside café on a spring day. You see your shadows and dream again, the theatres are full, international music festivals have returned, the risk-takers are above ground on parade, the writers dare to say what they mean and all seems normal…DEMOS rising...spring turns into summer and then comes August 20, 1968…Orders from above, fearful reaction to laughter, expression, seditious play—you have gone too far. August 20, 1968, the Soviet tanks from the Warsaw Pact rolls into Prague reminding you to Comply Or Die—now what?

“Now we are longtime outcasts, flying throughout the emptiness of time in a straight line. Yet somewhere deep down a thin thread still connects us to that far off misty Paradise, where Adam leans over a well and unlike Narcissus, never even suspects that the pale yellow blotch appearing in it is he himself. The longing for paradise is man’s longing not to be a man.”

“There is no perfection only Life.” — Milan Kundera The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Choreographer’s Note: How does a dancer embody the voice of a woman? Vox Femina imagines three scenarios

inspired by female singers’ voices. Handel wrote his operas for both male and female voice. In his operas, he (and many other composers who wrote for voice) did not hesitate to employ castrati, men who sang in a woman’s vocal range yet played male characters. Senesino, the celebrated Italian contralto castrato, sang the title role in the revised version of Radamisto in 1720. With Qual nave smarrita, we dance to the voice of Lorraine Hunt Leiberson, the American mezzo-soprano, who, in turn, emulates Margherita Durastanti, Handel’s choice for the premiere performance in London that same year. In the Act III aria, Radamisto sings:

Like a ship lost among shifting sands and tempests, no light, no harbor rids it of fear. So I, without help, in my deadly sufferings, find no comfort for my grieving heart.

The 1971 recording of Hang on in There by the Stovall Sisters was the trio’s first crossover effort from their gospel roots to the funk rhythms of R&B. Former Ikettes, the sisters offered up a fierce and feisty anthem to confidence, faith, and independence for all, regardless of gender. I witnessed Laura Nyro perform the title song of her 1969 album, New York Tendaberry, in her solo concert at Carnegie Hall that same year. My first autumn in New York as an aspiring dancer at the Juilliard School, I was swept away by Nyro’s soulful blues voice. It embodied for me everything about the dynamic and terrifying city. I was in love with New York… and Nyro’s voice. It made me want to dance.

VOX F E M I N A (G I R L TA L K )(2014)

Choreography by Melissa BeckCostume Design by Sarah Korn • Lighting Design by Mary Cole

Dramaturgy by Maxx Passion • Rehearsal Assistant Patty J. SolórzanoMusic “Symphony No. 5 in C Sharp Minor: IV. Adagietto” by Gustav Mahler

Dancers: Meri Bobber, Danielle Evasic, Mary Kruk, Ashley Manci,

Riley O’Donnell, Chrissy Papetti, Madeline Rager, Catherine ‘Caty’ Raupp, Jakyung Seo, Patty L. Solórzano, Irene Vandenberghe, Nadia Weeks

Choreographer’s Note: Beautiful Wreck explores the metaphorical and physical connection between bridges

and water. Underscored by Gustav Mahler’s “Symphony No. 5 in C Minor,” the dancers find themselves both creating and being caught by eddies, their fluidity impeded by unseen structures below the surface, and building connections between fixed points in space.

The inspiration for this work came from lazy hours spent looking into a river at dusk one day this past summer. Gazing into the water, I followed the strong currents as they jumped and swirled around and over the rocks—sometimes ducking under the ridge of a rock only to pop out the other side in a graceful arc. Occasionally, there would be movement that occurred separate from the currents, whose origins could not be seen. The odd leaf or two would float by, caught up in this watery dance and its path was not of its own choosing, but dictated by the water’s whims.

As dusk approached, what I could see became more subjective and murky, as if looking at an Impressionist painting. Water, rocks, leaves, and fish became part of a one motion seemingly without individual definition. Viewed through this veil of fading light, the river seemed to breath and dance as if human.

In creating Beautiful Wreck, I sought to emulate that view of the river through the dusk - the dancers moving as the river with some movements partially seen in the background against a forefront of bodies. I wanted to explore where the “river’s” current took the dancers in the space. Did it propel the dancers further on their trajectory? Did it suddenly force them into a new direction or movement pattern? Did the dancers succumb to the river or teeter on top of it trying to maintain stable footing?

The dance, then, represents a look into that river scene, in which there is no real beginning nor ending. Rather, the viewer has stumbled into a landscape whose movements and rhythms were in place before we arrived and will continue long after we leave the vista and continue on with our lives. Yet, the ebb and flow lingers in our consciousness long after we have departed the scene.

How many actors does it take to change a light bulb?

None. As long as there is a follow spot on them, who needs light bulbs?

A ctually, theatre spaces consume a fair amount of energy to light, heat and cool the lobbies, backstage, & auditoria areas. The School of Music, Theatre & Dance

(University Productions) is partnering with Planet Blue to reduce the energy costs of our performance halls.

Planet Blue’s electrical engineering expertise has enabled us to save energy by utilizing improved LED lighting technology while at the same time maintaining the beautiful atmosphere of our theatres. Their fine tuning of our heating and cooling systems has resulted in both energy savings and increased audience comfort.

Key activities include: Air handling unit (AHU) upgrades; scene shop lighting upgrades; upgrades to lighting in Power Center lobby, Mendelssohn auditorium & onstage striplights; weather stripping upgrades; HVAC fan scheduling; steam trap testing & replacement; and restroom water conservation.
