a wicked and inspiring choreographer This semester, the NC State Dance Program has the privilege to work with a very special guest artist, Rhea Patterson. A Virginia native, Patterson is currently performing as a featured dancer in Wicked on Broadway.

As a young child, Patterson was inspired to dance when she won a performance award in her elementary school, and she has not looked back. Before her Broadway debut, she received a BFA in Dance from University of the Arts in Philadelphia, and an MA in Arts Administration from Goucher College in Baltimore. She danced with Urban Bush Women, DCDC2 (the repertorytraining ensemble of the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company), and Eleone Dance, among other companies.

Not only is Rhea Patterson an accomplished performer, she is an educator and choreographer.

The subject matter of her work is often very personal. Since Patterson was an adolescent, her mother has dealt with the unexpected and often frustrating ups and downs of Parkinson’s disease.

Parkinson’s – a disorder of the brain that leads to shaking and difficulty with movement and coordination – is a particularly difficult condition for Rhea to witness, considering the extraordinary physical coordination and ability that she exhibits as a part of her everyday work.

Motivated by her mother’s strength and struggle, Patterson teaches movement and exercise classes to people with Parkinson’s during the day. In collaboration with cinematographer Michael T. Cano, she is working on a docu-dance titled Stage 5 that creatively expresses her relationship to both her mother and the disease. “Creating this solo has been challenging (to say the least), mentally, emotionally and physically,” explained Rhea. “I have a real desire to understand my mother’s physical struggle and a need to process the emotions I experience as I witness her deterioration. There is only one mechanism I can think of to tackle both my desire to understand and my need to process... that is dance and creative expression through movement.”

Photos by Matthew Murphy, www.MurphyMade.com

On January 21, Patterson worked with the students of the NC State Dance Program’s Panoramic Dance Project to develop Stages, a group piece/docu-dance based on the movement and film from her solo project Stage 5. She spent the day manipulating the movement phrases to create a new version of the piece for Panoramic that will be premiered in their March 23 concert in Titmus Theatre.

In reference to this project Patterson states, “I understand that the students will not have a personal connection to my mother or even Parkinson’s. What I hope they will help me figure out is how the body adapts to deterioration and physical limitations.” Stages will be unique to NC State University and will include video footage filmed by Michael Cano during Patterson’s residency. The depth and range of the Stages project illustrates the reach and growth of the NC State Dance Program.

THE CAMPAIGN FOR THE

Gregg Museum of Art & Design IS NEARLY HALFWAY TOWARD ITS GOAL! The campaign has raised $1.9 million of its total goal of $3.9 million. These funds will support the renovation of the historic chancellor’s residence on Hillsborough Street and construction of a 15,200 square foot contemporary addition.

FUND-RAISING PROGRESS Major Gifts

Nineteen generous individuals and foundations have chosen to make a major commitment of $25,000 or more to the Gregg Museum Campaign. Many have chosen to name spaces in the new Gregg and will be recognized with permanent donor plaques once the museum is complete. All of these major contributors believe in the future Gregg Museum of Art & Design, and we thank them for their support!

Transformational challenge grant from the Windgate Foundation

Last summer, the Windgate Charitable Foundation made a transformational challenge grant of $750,000 to the Gregg Campaign.

This grant is meant to inspire and challenge others to give as well; the grant will be awarded once the Gregg Museum Campaign meets its total fund-raising goal.

More recent major gifts

Late last year, the Gregg Campaign received two major gifts of $50,000.

One was an anonymous pledge, and the other came from Gilda and Norman Greenberg, who in 2011 gave the largest bequest in the history of ARTS NC STATE of their extraordinary Native American art collection. Gilda and Norm named the parlor in the historic chancellor’s residence The Drs. Norman and Gilda Greenberg Native American Arts Collection Study Room. In late November, alumnus and former university trustee, Bob Jordan, and his wife, Sarah, committed $25,000 to the campaign.

Founding Friends

Last spring, the Gregg Campaign launched a Founding Friends program for contributors of $5,000 to $24,999. We already have 20 Founding Friends, who will receive prominent recognition on a comprehensive donor plaque in the new museum. The Founding Friends program is a wonderful option for those who wish to support the campaign but cannot commit to a major gift. Our goal is to recruit 200 Founding Friends and raise $1M!

In case you didn’t know…

All pledges to the Gregg Museum Campaign may be paid over a period of up to five years from the date of the original commitment. No gift is too large or small!

Check out the Gregg Campaign website!

fire pink trio

Fire Pink, the beautiful North American wildflower that covers the mountains in late spring, resembles the strokes of a painter’s brush – a symbol of creativity and fresh, new ideas to the members of the Fire Pink Trio. Formed in 2008, this dynamic and poetic trio combines harp, flute and viola, to produce exciting music from the past and the present.

At this concert, the Fire Pink Trio will perform music by Claude Debussy, J. Mark Scearce, Sofia Gubaidulina, and Hasan Ucarsu.

farfetched – mad science, fringe architecture and visionary engineering JANUARY 17-APRIL 26, 2013 | GREGG MUSEUM OF ART & DESIGN

Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible.

– Lord Kelvin, President, Royal Society, 1895 (in 1903, the Wright brothers’ first plane proved him wrong).

There is no likelihood that man can ever tap the power of the atom.

– Robert Millikan, American physicist and Nobel Prize winner, 1928

Space travel is bunk.

– Sir Harold Spencer Jones, Royal Astronomer, 1957 (two weeks later, Sputnik began orbiting the Earth).

There is practically no chance communications space satellites will be used to provide better telephone, telegraph, television, or radio service inside the United States.

– FCC Commissioner Tunis Craven, 1961 (the first commercial communications satellite went into service 4 years later).

There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.

– Ken Olson, founder of Digital Equipment Corporation, 1977 (within months the Apple II and TRS-80 home computers proved him wrong).

The Gregg’s spring exhibition, Farfetched – Mad Science, Fringe Architecture and Visionary Engineering, explores British mathematician Alfred North Whitehead’s famous remark that, “Every really new idea looks crazy at first,” by presenting multiple examples of ideas proposed by dozens of visionaries, most of whom would fall into the category of “outsider artists.” Some of the ideas – like inventor L.C. Spooner’s 1920s patent proposals for carpet beaters and sewing machines powered by perpetual motion, or the wooden computer that Z.B. Armstrong built in his Thomson, Georgia bedroom and hoped would predict the end of the world – may be doomed never to work.

But others – like retired prizefighter Alex Maldonado’s proposal to bury air pollution underground, or Raleigh scientific illustrator Renaldo Kuhler’s scheme to convert sewage to natural gas – are already being seriously considered by mainstream scientists. Still others, such as Littleton, North Carolina florist Richard Brown’s use of expanded foam to build space ships, or Boston architect Paul Laffoley’s concept for modifying tree DNA to grow houses instead of building them, may suggest possibilities for the future. In any case, history has shown again and again that one of the quickest ways to be proved wrong is to declare something “impossible.”

A8 « ncsu.edu/arts

To make this point, Farfetched offers plenty of examples of predictions that turned out to be right, even though they may have seemed bizarre at the time they were made. In 1919, for example, when Texas visionary Charles Dellshau drew an “airship” that featured a very large propeller on the roof, his neighbors undoubtedly laughed and thought him a fool. Seventeen years later, when the first successful helicopter took off, the joke was on them.

It happened again in the 1950s, when behavioral psychology was becoming popular. Behavioralists liked to debunk the old turn-of-the-previouscentury practice of phrenology, which held that different parts of the brain perform different functions and are connected to different emotions.

A few decades later, neurological research began to indicate that at least some phrenological concepts were surprisingly true, even if the functions were located in the wrong places. Genetic studies began to show that these sites are largely predetermined, too. The history of science and technology is full of apparent dead ends that suddenly open up to reveal new possibilities, or long-held laws and principles that turn out to be wrong – at least for the time being. Farfetched encourages visitors and students to set aside their preconceptions and enter with an open mind... and then be astounded.

February 20-21

Architect Paul Laffoley consults with architecture, design, and horticulture students to envision truly innovative architectural concepts. His own ideas include continuous-surface structures based on Klein Bottles.

March 18-21

Peter Richards, senior artist at San Francisco’s Exploratorium science museum, works with engineering, ecology, architecture, and natural resource students to “imagineer” an outdoor sculpture for the new Gregg Museum.

Each of these workshops includes limited openings for the public at no charge. If interested in signing up, contact Zoe Starling at 919-513-7244 or zoe_starling@ncsu.edu.

humanature: photographs of the unnatural world by peter goin JANUARY 17-APRIL 26, 2013 | GREGG MUSEUM OF ART & DESIGN

Since the days of the pioneers, one of the great shaping influences on American life and our attitudes toward the world around us has been the idea that nature offers a wilderness of limitless possibilities as a setting in which we can pursue any activity we like. Even the language we use reveals how deeply ingrained is the concept of the boundless resources. Whenever, for example, the economy begins to experience “slower growth,” it’s cause for alarm – as if growth could continue forever. When we speak of “developing natural resources” such as oil or gas, the words make it sound like we’re expanding them, when the reality is that we’re only finding new ways of depleting them further.

By this point, in fact, there may be no such thing as “nature” any more. With ozone holes over the Antarctic, acid rain in the rain forests, oceans everywhere beginning to rise as global warming picks up speed, even the most remote parts of the world are being affected by human activity. Nevada-based photographer Peter Goin pushes this realization even further by arguing that, in fact, the whole world has become a human artifact. The title of his current exhibition of color photographs at the Gregg Museum – Humanature – suggests the confusing duality this implies: 1) Our own, all-too-human need to make the make the most of things by exploring, exploiting, and altering our surroundings and 2) the resulting blurring of the boundaries between humankind and the rest of the living things with whom we share the planet.

Happily, Goin employs a desert-dry sense of irony to make his point. A photograph of sprinklers watering naked sand in order to create a golf course in California is paired with an image of a boy attempting to fish in a reservoir nearly drained of water, as one form of leisure is being replaced by another. In another image, a man stands in a model of a river constructed by researchers to study the effect of returning a river to its natural channel – which is being considered in order to correct problems created when engineers attempted to “improve” the river by straightening it many decades ago. A water gauge photographed alongside a “wild and scenic river” like Georgia’s Chattooga (made famous in the film Deliverance), indicates that it is managed and monitored like everything else. Adam, you can’t go home to Eden any more.

Best to clean up your act and reorder your priorities.

Peter Goin will be on campus at NC State, April 10-11. On April 10 at 6pm, he will introduce his film In Search of Ritual: The Burning Man, about the famous “alternative lifestyle” event that takes place in the Nevada desert each year. On April 11 at 6pm, he will give a talk about his Humanature images and other landscape photographs. Both events take place at the Gregg Museum, 2nd floor, Talley Student Center.

NCSU Pipes & Drums The NCSU Pipes and Drums has been part of the Music Department since 1968. Most band members have learned to pipe or drum through beginning lessons offered each semester at NCSU (MUS 152). Band members perform about 40 times a year, on and off campus, in concerts, parades, commencement ceremonies, and other events which call for the stirring sound of the pipes. The band competes in Grade IV, traveling to Highland Games throughout the southeast and currently ranks 11th in the Southeast for bands in that grade.

As in Ireland, session musicians play tunes from memory, and learn them orally or from notation that is readily available in tune books and on the internet. The session has been running since January 2005 and is open to all NC State students, faculty, staff, and local community members who are interested in playing traditional Irish music. For further information about the Irish Session, contact Dr. Alison Arnold, aearnold@ncsu. edu. Also see the session website at https://sites.google.com/a/ncsu.edu/ irishsessionatncsu/.

The Irish Music Session at NC State is a weekly gathering of musicians who play traditional Irish and Celtic tunes on instruments such as the fiddle, flute, whistle, button accordion, mandolin, guitar, banjo, bodhran, and piano. The repertoire includes Irish dance music – reels, jigs, slip jigs, hornpipes, and polkas – as well as marches, waltzes, and slow airs.

Cardinal Gibbons High School is a college preparatory high school of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Raleigh, open to youth of all faiths.

The school is graciously allowing the Pipes and Drums to use its facility while the campus music facilities are undergoing renovations.
