CORAL KINGDOMS AND EMPIRES OF ICE WITH DAVID DOUBILET AND JENNIFER HAYES

THURSDAY, MAY 25, 2023 · 7 PM THE BAKER-BAUM CONCERT HALL

About

Explore rarely seen undersea worlds with two photographers creating a visual voice for the world’s oceans. David Doubilet is a legend in underwater photography. Together with his wife and underwater partner, photojournalist Jennifer Hayes, in just one remarkable year on assignment, he explored three unique marine environments for National Geographic. Join them to explore the rich and diverse waters of Kimbe Bay, Papua New Guinea, part of the “coral triangle.” Follow them into the world beneath the Antarctic ice, then north to the Gulf of St. Lawrence to see whales, wolfish and harp seals. Together, they’ll go beyond the published stories to share the reality of behind-the-camera adventures.

A Million Voices is inspired by the inimitable Peggy Lee, who was a pioneer in the art of “persona.” Her legendary music, which was created in response to the political climate of her time, spurs us to embrace the passion of living even in the darkest of times.

This work was made possible in part by the Made in Wickenburg Residency Program at Del E. Webb Center for the Performing Arts with funding from the RH Johnson Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Wellik Foundation, WESTAF, and Benner-Nawman.

SNAP is inspired by the ethnically diverse yet isolating crowds of Los Angeles. It urges audiences to “snap out of” social pressures to conform and to connect with their individuality as well as with people around them.

SNAP was made possible by the New England Foundation for the Arts’ National Dance Project, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Three solos for male dancers set to songs popularized by “the king of cool,” Dean Martin. PACOPEPEPLUTO shows Alejandro Cerrudo’s skill at balancing aesthetic austerity and sharp wit. This work dares viewers to nakedly and joyfully embrace their true self-expression. It is performed in dim lighting and contains partial nudity with male dancers in dance belts.
