UMD’S VIBRANT ARTS & CULTURE HUB It gives me great pride to present The Clarice’s 2018-19 performing arts season at the University of Maryland, full of creative and educational events inspired by amazing classical and historical works as well as some of the world’s most thought-provoking contemporary artists. This season guide shines light on the wide-ranging and diverse events audiences have come to love and expect from the university’s performing arts partners. Looking ahead, I’m excited about any number of projects: the School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies’ artistic collaboration in the Triumph of Isabella, which brings 400-yearold Dutch artwork to life through exhibition and festival (pg. 5); the School of Music’s Kurt Weill Festival: Road of Promise, an oratorio which partners student ensembles with alumni to artistically recount iconic stories from Jewish scripture (pg. 6); and the Artist Partner Program’s Grammy-nominated visiting artist and jazz saxophonist Ravi Coltrane (pg. 13). Please spend time exploring the guide to see how these entertaining and expressive art forms represent diverse cultures that come to life intellectually and artistically through investigation, interpretation, experimentation and technological advances. We’re committed to encouraging artists and audiences alike to experience and reflect on the unique power of the arts to illuminate our common humanity.

ENGAGEMENT: ON CAMPUS AND IN THE COMMUNITY

THE PERFORMING ARTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF

The performing arts at Maryland are committed to connecting to faculty, staff and students across the University of Maryland campus as well as members of the surrounding local community. Our campus and community engagement programs facilitate interactions with artists, scholars and community leaders that are focused on the creative process and research, rather than just product and performance. Strengthened by partnerships with campus and community entities, these engagement programs provide opportunities for our audiences and students to exchange ideas and actively participate with artists and, ultimately, connect the performing arts at Maryland to the larger campus and the local community.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

By creating opportunities that explore arts leadership, management and entrepreneurship, professional development programs are designed to equip artists and educators to be at the forefront of their fields. Programs like NextLOOK, in partnership with Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Movement Emporium in Mount Rainier, provide time, space and funding for artists to develop new work and receive audience feedback as part of the process. Masterclasses and guest teaching by visiting artists give students direct access to national and international touring artists, while Concerts in Close Quarters takes those artists to residence halls for intimate performances, followed by conversation.

ACCESS & PARTICIPATION

Through attendance, inquiry and sometimes even stepping on stage, we create performing arts-based activities for people of all ages to demystify the creative process and encourage curiosity. Students and local community members are invited to perform alongside professional touring artists, and our K-12 Student Matinee series gives school-aged children the chance to experience the performing arts while learning about what it takes backstage to put on a show, all for free. Programming focused on the Latino/a communities near the campus include field trips to The Clarice, workshops taught by dance and theater students, after-school arts experiences and family art days with national and international visiting artists.

ARTS CITIZENSHIP

We are committed to bringing voice to issues of social change by viewing them through the lens of performing arts and creative response. Through public conversations like Do Good Dialogues and Opera Resonates, we facilitate collaboration between campus and community organizations focused on unity to co-curate events that bring people together. These programs make it possible for students to be responsive through creative expression to issues in the community and across campus that arise throughout the academic year.
