Artalk Peripheral Vision Betty Branch, sculptor and installation artist

Arts Array Series “The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus”

Monday and Tuesday, September 13-14 4 pm and 7:30 pm each day Abingdon Cinemall

Tuesday, September 7, 7:30 pm Van Dyke Center, Board of Visitors Lounge

“The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” is a fantastical morality tale, set in the present day. It tells the story of Dr. Parnassus and his extraordinary ‘Imaginarium,’ a travelling show where members of the audience get an irresistible opportunity to choose between light and joy or darkness and gloom. Although blessed with the extraordinary gift of guiding the imaginations of others, Dr. Parnassus is cursed with a dark secret.

Proficient in both painting and sculpture, Betty Branch has embarked many times throughout her career on periods of independent study and interdisciplinary research, one of which focused on the image of women in Ancient Greece. For more than 30 years she has concentrated on the female form and has defined female rites of passage in both traditional and unorthodox media—bronze, stone, fiber, ceramic, terra cotta, earthenware and straw. Branch provides an exhibit of sculpture in The 1912 Gallery, and two sitespecific sculptures, “Spiral” and “Daphne,” installed on campus. Branch’s exhibit in The 1912 Gallery is on view from July 24 through Sept. 25, 2010. The Gallery opens at 6:30 on the evening of the Artalk for viewing and following for a reception.

Artalk RubberMADE Courtney Starrett, jewelry artist

Tuesday, September 28, 7:30 pm Van Dyke Center, Board of Visitors Lounge

Film and Discussion Trembling Before G-d Sandi DuBowski

RubberMADE is a collection of objects, interactive and wearable, inspired by Courtney Starrett’s exploration of the mid-20th century American culture of consumerism and processed goods. The catalyst for this body of work was her curiosity about the history and industrial uses of silicone rubber and the relationship this synthetic material has with a 1950s style post-war “suburban” ranch house.

This relationship has fueled the forms, colors and titles of the works in the RubberMADE collection. The Artalk is in conjunction with Starrett’s exhibit in The 1912 Gallery from Sept. 28 to Oct. 30, 2010 (except from Oct.1318). The Gallery opens at 6:30 on the evening of the Artalk for viewing and following for a reception.

Monday, September 20, 7:30 pm Wiley Hall Auditorium Sandi DuBowski is an internationally recognized and award-winning documentary filmmaker who directed “Trembling Before G-d,” which focuses on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) issues in Judaism, and produced “A Jihad for Love,” which focuses on LGBT issues in Islam. In his lecture and film screening, the gay rights speaker explores the issues of sexuality and religion. DuBowski helps to break down barriers and shatter stereotypes, and the dialogue that follows generates an exchange that challenges our sexual, traditional and religious beliefs.

Lecture Democracy and Distrust in 2010 Jonathan Weiler and Mark Hetherington

*Musical Theatre

“It Takes Two: An Evening with Lauren Kennedy and Alan Campbell”

Thursday, September 23, 7:30 p.m.

Wiley Hall Auditorium

Thursday, September 30, 7:30 pm Van Dyke Center, Board of Visitors Lounge

From the stars of “Sunset Boulevard,” “Les Miserables,” “Contact,” “Spamalot,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Side Show South Pacific” and more, comes a rich, exuberant night of music. Romance and laughter abound when Kennedy and Campbell grab their mics and go. Individually, they are respected, admired and sought-after Broadway, theatre, recording, film and television working artists. Together, they are “bang-up, class-A entertainment,” says Ray C. Dicks, The News and Observer.

The American electorate is increasingly polarized. Although ordinary Republicans and Democrats are not miles apart on most issues, our divisions actually run deeper than that. Jonathan Weiler (University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill) and Mark Hetherington (Vanderbilt University) are widely recognized for their work on this subject. Their recent book Authoritarianism and Polarization in American Politics, as well as Hetherington’s Why Trust Matters, are credited with anticipating the rise of the Tea Party movement.

The Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged) by Adam Long, Daniel Singer, Jess Winfield E&H Theatre Department

Lecture The Behaviorally Enhanced Healthcare Home: The Integration of Behavioral Health and Primary Care Suzanne Bull Bailey

Biliana Stoytcheva-Horissian, director Dan Wheeler, design and technical director Thurs. through Sat., October 7- 9, 7:30 pm Sunday, October 10, 3 pm Studio Theatre

Monday, October 4, 7:30 pm Van Dyke Center, Board of Visitors Lounge

Dr. Suzanne Bull Bailey, E&H class of 2003, is a behavioral health consultant and director of the Intensive Outpatient Alcohol & Drug Program at Cherokee Health Systems in Knoxville, Tenn. She describes the team approach to patient care and discusses the effectiveness of collaboration between medical doctors, psychologists, and other behavioral health providers.

Thirty-seven Shakespearean plays, compressed into less than two hours of hilarity, make a “dilly” of poor “Willy.” While a scripted play, this theatre experience owes its comedy to the traditions of improvisational theatre. Originated by the Reduced Shakespeare Company as a pass-the-hat act in Californian “renaissance fairs” in 1981, the play has been performed all over the world and translated into 17 languages. Seating is limited so reservations are recommended.

Groseclose Lecture The Archeology of Disease Mary K. Sandford

Tuesday, October 5, 7:30 pm McGlothlin-Street Hall, Room 102

Presentation The Future of Coal in America and in Virginia William H. Bledsoe

Dr. Sandford provides insight into how physical anthropologists learn about the history of disease from the bones and mummies of past peoples. Based on research conducted in North America, the Sudan and the Caribbean, her talk explores rates of traumatic injury and infectious diseases in the past, including cultural practices, diet, environmental challenges and biological evolution. Sandford is an emerita professor at University of North Carolina-Greensboro, with a Ph.D. from the University of Colorado.

Monday, October 11, 7:30 pm McGlothin-Street Hall, Room 102

Bill Bledsoe discusses how he works to encourage cooperation by government, industry and the public in achieving a reasonable balance between America’s need for energy, economic stability and the safe and environmentally responsible mining of coal. As executive director of the Virginia Mining Association, Bledsoe endeavors to achieve this through participation in legislative, regulatory and judicial issues, and through educational and communication opportunities.

She possesses a natural musicianship which engenders singing of extreme, expressive beauty,” wrote the Washington Star. Baird’s high praise results from her solo performances in major venues and with major orchestras throughout the world. She is one of the most recorded and distinguished sopranos of the early-music movement, and her performance here comes from her vast repertoire of that genre.

Bledsoe, a native of Wise County, Va., retired from the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy in 2003 after 30 years.

FILM Arts Array Series “White Ribbon”

Monday and Tuesday, October 11-12 4 pm and 7:30 pm each day Abingdon Cinemall An undercurrent of malice runs through a German village, as a series of misfortunes plagues its citizens in the year before the outbreak of World War I.

Artalk Cut Out Robert Goodman, painter

Tuesday, November 2, 7:30 pm Van Dyke Center, Board of Visitors Lounge

Presentation Buddhist Teaching Thinley Gyatso

Robert Goodman makes large, heavily worked and slowly built, paintings. They combine geometric constructions and areas of color overlaid with gestural brush strokes. The work recalls the imagery and structure of his native South Florida where oversized plants and animals sit along large expanses of highway in a tropical tourist paradise. Each piece suggests a layering and compression of time, space and place. The Artalk is in conjunction with Goodman’s exhibit in The 1912 Gallery from Nov. 2 to Dec. 8, 2010 (except from Nov. 24-29). The Gallery opens at 6:30 on the evening of the Artalk for viewing and following for a reception.

Tuesday, October 19, 4:30 pm McGlothlin-Street Hall, Room 102 Although only 35 years old, Thinley Gyatso has been a monk in the Tibetan Mahayana tradition for more than 25 years. He has studied and practiced extensively in the Tibetan monasteries of India and Nepal, and has taught for more than 10 years at Ketsun Sangpo Rinpoche’s monastery. He was appointed their chant master and is an expert on ritual arts and sutras.

Sunday, November 21, 8:15 pm Monday, November 22, 8:15 pm Van Dyke Center, Board of Visitors Lounge

In the 1960s, Americans engaged in intense debates over civil rights and school prayer, especially in the South, a region dominated politically, socially, and culturally by evangelical Protestants. This two-lecture series examines the relationship between the Civil Rights Movement and the school prayer controversy of the 1960s. In both instances, these debates involved the pursuit of what many called “genuine Christianity.” This series will shed light on how the civil rights and school prayer debates have shaped the modern religious and political landscape. Dr. Westmoreland is assistant professor of history at Delta State University and received his doctorate at the University of Mississippi.

“The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” E&H Theatre Department

Kelly Bremner, director Christianne Roll, music director Dan Wheeler, design and technical director Thurs. through Sat., November 18-20, 7:30 pm Sunday, November 21, 3 pm Studio Theatre

December

The competition is intense. The words are hilarious. Let the spelling begin! The show centers around a fictional spelling bee set in a geographically ambiguous Putnam Valley Middle School. In this play six quirky adolescents compete in the bee, run by two equally quirky grown-ups, and learn that winning isn’t everything. The musical was based upon C-R-E-P-U-S-C-U-L-E, an original play created by Rebecca Feldman and performed by The Farm, a New York-based improvisational comedy troupe, in 2004. The show won Tony Awards for best book and best featured actor (Dan Fogler). Music and lyrics are by William Finn and book is by Rachel Sheinkin. Seating is limited, so reservations are recommended.
