FRIENDS,

.................

Chances are most of us are not originally from the place we currently reside. Many of our ancestors, whether just one generation back or several, are from somewhere else. Some people have explored new destinations so often that they need to affix pins to a travel map to remember where they’ve been. Opportunities for jobs, academics, and even simply a change in cultural or temporal climate displace us, temporarily or permanently, from Point A to a new Point B. Many people also love to travel—overseas or around the corner. We are curious about how others live life and celebrate culture. Centre College takes pride that 85% of its student body studies abroad at least one term. More pins to demark more Points. Daily, it seems that we are always on the go. Point A to a new Point B. And, as much as we love to travel, we always comment about not having enough time. This season’s Norton Center Series helps connect those dots of where we are, where we’ve been, and where we might go in the future. The Norton Center Series introduces us to new cultures, real or imaginary, Heading to planet Zygonia, The Intergalactic Nemesis

while reconnecting us with cultures with which we may be more familiar. If you can find your seat in the theatre, you have arrived at Point A. As the lights dim, you are conveyed to a new Point B, and perhaps a Point C and a Point D. Settle in and enjoy the journey. You may need to fasten your seatbelts as some journeys are bumpier than others. But don’t worry, before you know it, you will be transported back to all the familiar comforts of Point A. However, while you physically never left, culturally, your internal travel map has a new pin to signify a recently experienced journey. And that is a Point taken. Are we there yet?

Described as “first-rate in every way,” by The New York Times, the Sphinx Virtuosi is a chamber orchestra led on tour by the critically acclaimed Catalyst Quartet. With a mission to advance diversity in classical music and inspire new and young audiences with dynamic performances of cutting-edge repertoire by a wide range of composers, this concert’s program is a reflection of the artists

themselves. The program includes works by Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson, Benjamin Britten and Astor Piazzolla, and features Bach’s “Brandenburg Concerto No. 6” and Vivaldi’s “Concerto for 2 Cellos and String Orchestra.” Comprised of classical music competition winners from the Sphinx Organization, a national non-profit founded in 1996 by MacArthur Fellow Aaron P. Dworkin, the Virtuosi focuses on overcoming cultural stereotypes of classical music. Dworkin was President Obama’s first appointee to the National Council on the Arts and was named one of Newsweek’s “15 People Who Make America Great.”

The energy they bring to the stage leaves audiences celebrating in the aisles. Called “exuberant, indefatigable, and virtuosic” by The New York Times, this acclaimed troupe celebrates candomblé, the uniquely Bahian spiritual practices rooted in the Yoruba religion brought to Brazil by West African slaves. With explosive drumming, frenzied dancing, and irrepressible energy, the artists “push themselves to their physical limits…they dance so hard that their spirits show” (Dance Magazine).

Country music superstar Scotty McCreery has had a blindingly rapid rise to stardom since he became American Idol’s youngest male winner at age 17, as well as the show’s first male country winner in 2011. The Garner, NC native quickly emerged as one of country music’s most successful new artists after his debut album topped the Billboard Top 200 and Top Country charts, earning

North Carolina

him a spot in the Guinness World Records book for being the youngest male in history to score a No.1 album on the all-genre chart with a debut release. The hot streak continued as he went on to win New Artist of the Year at both the 2011 American Country Awards and the 2012 Academy of Country Music Awards. He also picked up the USA Weekend Breakthrough Video of the Year for “The Trouble With Girls” at the 2012 CMT Music Awards. McCreery was ranked No. 1 on Billboard’s list of Top New Country Artists in 2011 and also ranked No. 4 on Billboard’s list of “21 Under 21: Music’s Hottest Minors 2012,” for his second consecutive year.

At home in both clubs and concert halls, Brooklyn Rider has appeared in venues as varied as Carnegie Hall, the Library of Congress and SXSW. Much of the group’s desire to extend the borders of conventional string quartet programming comes from their longstanding participation in Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble. In addition to their Norton Center performance with the Silk Road Ensemble in March 2013, Brooklyn Rider previously performed at the Norton Center with Yo-Yo Ma in 2008.

Inspired by Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star Wars, and the pulp serials of the 1930s, The Intergalactic Nemesis is an adventure story—with a twist: more than 1,250 original full-color comic-book images blasting from a two-story-high projection screen; actors voicing dozens of colorful characters; a Foley artist creating a plethora of

unbelievable sound effects; and much, much, more. Equal doses of humor and suspense, this production merges the thrills of a serial play with the vibrancy of a graphic novel to create an out-of-this-world adventure. Declared a “raucous romp” by the Austin Chronicle, this is a spectacle unlike any other and a show for the kid in everyone. In this performance, Book One: Target Earth, Pulitzer Prize– winning reporter Molly Sloan and her intrepid research assistant team up with a mysterious librarian to face the most terrible threat humanity has ever known: an invading force of sludge monsters from outer space known as the Zygonians. For this performance, the Norton Center for the Arts in partnership with the Boyle County Public Library has been awarded an Arts Access Assistance Grant through a program of the Kentucky Arts Council, the state arts agency, which is supported by state tax dollars and federal funding from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Only Little Buttercup can resolve the mismatched mess. Ride a wave of music and laughter as romantic sailors, sisters, cousins, and aunts sing and dance their way across the deck of the fanciful British naval vessel with the improbable name.

H.M.S. Pinafore, or The Lass That Loved A Sailor was first performed at the Opera Comique in London, England on May 25, 1878, and has remained popular on both sides of the Atlantic ever since.

The Infernal Comedy: Confessions of a Serial Killer is based on the real-life story of twice-imprisoned serial killer Jack Unterweger (played by John Malkovich). Mysteriously back from the grave for an autobiographical book tour, Unterweger oozes disconcerting charm, as he narrates his sordid and shocking history. Each

chapter, exploding with dark humor and tempestuous irony, concludes with an aria from Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, Vivaldi, and more, sung live by stunning sopranos—all too tempting prospects for Unterweger’s bloodlust. Best known for the 1999 film Being John Malkovich, actor John Malkovich has appeared in over 65 movies. For his work on stage and screen, he has been awarded an Obie (True West), and an Emmy (Death of a Salesman), and been nominated for an Academy Award (Places in the Heart).

She finally lives her dream in the medium she was always destined to make her own: music. In addition to her recent, highly acclaimed debut album “Fatou,” she found time to collaborate on Damon Albarn's Africa Express and contribute vocals to albums by AfroCubism and Herbie Hancock’s Grammy® winning Imagine Project.

Their concerts include a mix of new works and modern classics by internationally acclaimed composers. Since its

They were recently awarded an Arts Council of Ireland grant for commissions, the first of which is a new work for electric guitar quartet by New York composer Michael Gordon. They have been successful in bringing new music to unlikely audiences as well, playing as guests of ‘rock’ groups such as The Redneck Manifesto (Dublin) and Final Fantasy (Canada). Audiences can expect an explosive, entertaining, and completely novel concert experience for the Quartet’s Club Weisiger and United States tour debut.

LIFE-LONG LEARNING IN THE ARTS The Norton Center is pursuing more personal engagements with its constituents and presenting artists that surpass typical expectations in an effort to form a long-term trust among the institution, the College, and its audience. The Center’s reach extends far beyond the campus and Danville, as each year more than 5,000 elementary, middle, and high school students enjoy matinees of main stage performances at discounted rates. Centre College students and residents of the surrounding area also benefit from Norton Center activities by participating in lectures, seminars, master classes, and symposia surrounding various programs.

K-12 ACTIVITIES The goal of these programs is to provide teachers and students with a performing arts journey into global cultures and history, while supplying educators with curriculum guides specifically created for the performance or program that meet national and state standards.

STUDENT PERFORMING ARTS AT

CENTRE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . COLLEGE .......................... DRAMA PROGRAM The Centre drama program regularly produces exciting seasons of theatre that are highly regarded by both the community and college audiences. Plays are selected for their importance as dramatic literature, for their challenging nature, and, of course, for their entertainment value. All shows are cast from the student body at large—with the exception of an occasional guest artist. Tickets may be purchased at the Weisiger box office the night of a performance.
