The Modlin Center for the Arts 2019-2020 season marks our twenty-third year of offering dynamic and thought-provoking performances and creating compelling artist residencies that engage our communities and serve students and adults of all ages. As a home for arts and culture, and Richmond’s cultural hub, the Modlin Center offers engaging opportunities and education experiences that enrich and expand the life of our community. The Modlin Center impacts the community with all the programs and partnerships it has developed both on and off campus. The Modlin Center programs bring well-known and emerging artists from around the world that practice a diverse and bold selection of performing arts — theatre, music, spoken word, dance, broadcasts, etc. to explore a wide range of topics and issues that enriches the Richmond community and beyond. Art allows us to transcend our differences and to discover our universal avenues of communication, understanding, and enjoyment of life, which we can experience and communicate with others. Through the arts, we harness the collective power of our artistic endeavors and those who support this effort to strengthen our society, foster harmony, and learning to listen to each other. The performing arts also teaches society about itself, pointing out the attitudes and mindsets of current society. Above all else, the performing arts are about being creative. The importance of having people in society who can express themselves creatively is without doubt. The Modlin Center continues to encourage, support, and initiate an even more diverse and inclusive collaborative program. Through collaborative programs and events with the art departments, throughout the University, and also with our community partners, we are shaping ideas to use the arts as an agent of change to promote a more welcome, diverse, and inclusive environment at the University. In addition, we hope these programs bring joyful experiences that we can share with each other. Thank you for joining us and supporting the arts in your community.

Rosenwasser grew up in New York, attending Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, Cooper Union, and California Institute of the Arts. BOB HOLMAN (Creative Consultant) has been a central figure in redefining poetry, and has played a significant role in the spoken word movements of the last several decades, traversing genres, styles, and mediums. He is the author of sixteen poetry collections, most recently Sing This One Back to Me. He was the original slam-master and a director of the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, coordinator and curator at St. Mark’s Poetry Project, creator of the world’s first spoken word poetry record label, Mouth Almighty/Mercury, and the proprietor of Bowery Poetry Club.

In 2010, he cofounded the Endangered Language Alliance, where he currently serves as co-director. Holman has worked closely with influential dance critic and poet Edwin Denby, as well as with choreographer Molissa Finley, but this partnership with Alonzo King LINES Ballet was his first collaboration utilizing his endangered language recordings collection with a major dance company. DAVID FINN (Lighting Designer) is a lighting designer who has worked extensively in dance, opera, and theatre. He began his career as a lighting designer for the master puppeteer Burr Tillstrom and Kukla, Fran & Ollie. Finn was a resident lighting designer for Mikhail Baryshnikov’s White Oak Dance Project. His designs have also been seen at the Royal Ballet, Paris
ABOUT THE COMPANY Opera Ballet, the National Ballet of Canada, the Joffrey Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, Australian Ballet, and Birmingham Royal Ballet. In film, Finn’s work includes stage lighting for Martin Scorsese’s The Age of Innocence, and he was the producer/director of the PBS documentary The Green Monster.

Quen has had museum commissions, which are exhibited all around the world. Integrating her cultural experiences and life dedication to design and art, it internally speaks to me with such pure clarity and intention. She is an optimistic poet and romantic sculptor expressing and creating each art piece with her heart and hands through the characteristics of fabric and the human spirit. Quen is grateful to be a vessel, educator, and communicator for our planet. She moves organically in the world, wherever she is needed to bring the message of hope, joy, love, compassion, and beauty through her art and design.

Our name has changed, but not our commitment to you. Community Idea Stations is now VPM, Virginia’s home for Public Media. A half-century ago, we had a vision to bring the stories that matter to the people of our community, starting with educational programming like Sesame Street. Today, our commitment to you is stronger than ever, as is our responsibility to provide those stories in objective, balanced ways. So, while our name has changed to better reflect the people in Virginia that we serve, our purpose remains the same, including our promise to educate, entertain and inspire.
