MODLIN CENTER FOR THE ARTS

The Modlin Center for the Arts continues to be a celebrated leader in the arts. This includes continuing our overall vision in supporting and nurturing international, national, and local artists. We do this while exploring, creating, presenting, and connecting art experiences, which allows us to give back to our greater community. Integrating the arts into the university is also an integral part of our vision for each season we create. This season has been curated to challenge and inspire, and to bring joy to our audiences in an array of transformative performances. This year, the Modlin Center examines more closely the idea of improvisation. As individuals participating in the arts, we will look at the very moment when creating, experiencing, and connecting occur simultaneously. Through the arts, we can connect, gain new perspectives and learn, sometimes all in a single moment. The arts have a way of deepening and weaving these experiences permanently into our lives. From Broadway greats such as Audra McDonald, to internationally acclaimed Peruvian puppetry of Teatro Hugo e Ines, from iconic singer-songwriters such as Arlo Guthrie and Suzanne Vega, to jazz greats such as Regina Carter and Robert Glasper, from the classic artistry of Yefim Bronfman, Garrick Ohlsson, and the Australian Chamber Orchestra to emerging chamber artists such as the Catalyst Quartet. Journey with us as we listen to the joyful music of traditional fiddlers from Canadian, Irish, and American roots music traditions, such as Danú, Natalie MacMaster, and Pokey LaFarge. From dance events such as the impeccable tap performances of the artists in Dorrance Dance, and the acclaimed Hubbard Street Dance Chicago as well as international choreographers and companies such as the Malpaso Dance Company of Cuba. Hear first-hand from the artists themselves in our Artist Voices series with Jeffrey Tambor and Judy Collins. Or experience international theatre artists such as the National Theatre of Scotland, Walnut Street Theatre, and the comedy of the Reduced Shakespeare Company. In addition, join us for our UR art department’s performances with faculty and students. This season share in the joy of the talented and creative artistry we present to you. See your favorite artists and don’t forget to take a chance on somebody new. Best,

Pokey LaFarge THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2015 | 7:30 PM

Alice Jepson Theatre General Admission $18

Incorporating elements of early jazz, ragtime, country blues, western swing, and beyond, LaFarge has created a vibrant, deeply expressive body of work that exemplifies an expansive musical vision and vivid storytelling sensibility that are wholly his own. After making a grassroots splash with his self-released debut album Marmalade and moonlighting as a mandolinist with the Hackensaw Boys, LaFarge continued to gain notoriety with his widely acclaimed longplayers Beat, Move, and Shake; Riverboat Soul; and Middle of Everywhere—the latter two were both named Best Americana Album by the Independent Music Awards—and the concert set Live In Holland.

AUDRA McDONALD THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2015 | 7:30 PM Carpenter Theatre, (600 E. Grace Street) Reserved Seating $62 | $57 | $52

The two-time Grammy Award®-winner and Emmy®-nominated Live From Lincoln Center host returns to the concert stage, offering favorite show tunes, popular standards, and original pieces written especially for this extraordinary artist at the height of her expressive powers. “When she sings—ah, it’s a God-touched voice…” –The New York Times Modlin Center Members at the Partner Level and above are invited to a pre-show reception in the Richmond CenterStage Donor Lounge beginning at 6:30PM. Information on becoming a Modlin Center Member can be found on page 41. This performance will take place at Richmond CenterStage’s Carpenter Theatre.

NATALIE MacMASTER + DONNELL LEAHY

Visions from Cape Breton and Beyond: A Celtic Family Celebration

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2015 | 7:30 PM Camp Concert Hall, Booker Hall of Music Reserved Seating $36 “To call Natalie MacMaster the most dynamic performer in Celtic music today is high praise, but it still doesn’t get at just how remarkable a concert artist this Cape Breton Island fiddler has become.” –The Boston Herald Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy have created a new show, which introduces the impressive next chapter in their musical and personal journey. For the first time on stage, they will feature their children alongside dancers and singers performing the traditions of their hometowns of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia and Lakefield, Ontario. The evening will highlight the unique talents, influences, and stories of the first family of traditional fiddlers through dancing, singing, and of course, world-class music-making.

MAVIS STAPLES + JOAN OSBORNE Solid Soul

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2015 | 7:30 PM Camp Concert Hall, Booker Hall of Music Reserved Seating $45 Grammy® Award-winning legend Mavis Staples teams up with multi-platinum recording artist Joan Osborne on the highly anticipated national tour, Solid Soul. From her early days with the iconic Staple Singers, when she was on top of the charts with songs like the 1972 #1 hit “I’ll Take You There,” to her recent albums with Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy, Mavis Staples has been a leader in American music for six decades. The “Solid Soul” tour marks her first tour collaboration with Joan Osborne, the widely celebrated singer-songwriter who dominated Top 40 radio with her hit song “One of Us” and whose albums have garnered seven Grammy® nominations.

CONCERT SERIES

SUZANNE VEGA + DUNCAN SHEIK FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2015 | 7:30 PM Camp Concert Hall, Booker Hall of Music Reserved Seating $40 Two of America’s most iconic singer/songwriters, Suzanne Vega and Duncan Sheik, join forces for one incredible night of music. Bearing the stamp of a masterful storyteller who “observed the world with a clinically poetic eye,” Suzanne Vega’s songs have always tended to focus on city life, ordinary people, and real world subjects. Notably succinct and understated, often cerebral but also streetwise, her lyrics invite multiple interpretations. In short, Suzanne Vega’s work is immediately recognizable as utterly distinct and thoughtful, and as creative now as it was when her voice was first heard on the radio more than 20 years ago. After breaking through in the late ‘90s with his Top 20 single “Barely Breathing,” Duncan Sheik spent much of the subsequent decade taking a breather from the usual rock singer/songwriter rituals. He focused on albums that broke with pop music conventions as well as theatrical musicals such as Spring Awakening, the Broadway sensation that won him two Tony® awards and a Grammy®.

Danú

Féile Na Nollag (A Christmas Gathering)

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2015 | 7:30 PM

Alice Jepson Theatre Reserved Seating $36

The acclaimed Irish ensemble, Danú, celebrates Christmas with Féile Na Nollag (A Christmas Gathering). Danú’s Christmas Gathering offers a taste of the holidays in Ireland, where local community choirs singing traditional songs for Christmas and Wrens Day (December 26) are a common sight. Music and dance gatherings, in communities both urban and rural, have often combined for generations to offer a great variety of songs, music, and stories. Celtic music lovers around the globe have been thrilled by Danú’s virtuoso players on fiddle, flutes, button accordion, and percussion, as well as the gorgeous voice of Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh. The evening will also include an amazing line-up of top-notch guest dancers and the Modlin Center looks forward to their return. Join the Modlin Center as we celebrate the holidays with a post-show reception in Booth Lobby.

Regina Carter’s Southern Comfort

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2015 | 7:30 PM Camp Concert Hall, Booker Hall of Music Reserved Seating $40

“A talented, charismatic player who is almost single-handedly reviving interest in the violin as a jazz instrument.” –The Los Angeles Times “Regina Carter creates music that is wonderfully listenable, probingly intelligent and, at times, breathtakingly daring… taking the listener into the future of jazz.” –Time Magazine Violinist Regina Carter is considered the foremost jazz violinist of her generation as a result of her curiosity, passion, and quest for beauty during her musical journey. Regina was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship. Those qualities are more apparent than ever on her critically acclaimed release, Southern Comfort (Sony Music Masterworks), on which she explores the folk music of the South. On Southern Comfort, Regina interprets her own roots through a modern lens. “In the Appalachians there were Scottish and Irish descendants, slaves and Native Americans. It was a cultural hodgepodge and the music resulting from it is intoxicating. This disc was to pay homage to my family,” said Regina, “but it turned out to be so much more.”

“Like many of today’s young jazz pianists, Robert Glasper speaks hip-hop, bebop, classical and pop… accessible melodies, tumultuous beats and bright lyricism tend to recall modern jazz icons like Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea.” – People Two-time Grammy® Award-winner Robert Glasper is one of the most prolific jazz composers and pianists of his generation. Glasper became the de facto keyboardist for some of the era’s penultimate hip-hop and R&B stars, touring as the music director for Mos Def and appearing with Kanye West, Erykah Badu, Meshell Ndegeocello, Jay-Z, and Maxwell. At the same time, Glasper made a name for himself as a post-bop pianist and composer through stints with jazz masters such as Russell Malone, Christian McBride, Roy Hargrove, and Terence Blanchard and has collaborated with choreographers and theatrical performances.

with Toshi Reagon and Biglovely The Blues Project

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2015 | 7:30 PM FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2015 | 7:30 PM Alice Jepson Theatre Reserved Seating $38

“A seemingly impossible marriage of tap and modern dance that came off edgy, seductive, and smart.” –The Chicago Tribune Under the direction of Michelle Dorrance, Bessie Award-winning Dorrance Dance with her musical collaborator Toshi Reagon, aims to honor the uniquely beautiful history of tap dance in a new and dynamically compelling context, not by stripping the form of its tradition, but by pushing it: rhythmically, aesthetically, and conceptually. Hailed by The New Yorker as “one of the most imaginative tap choreographers working today,” Dorrance Dance features some of the genre’s best tap artists including The Blues Project’s co-choreographers Derick K. Grant and Dormeshia Sumbry-Edwards. Toshi Reagon has been described by Pop Matter as a one-woman celebration of all that is dynamic, progressive, and uplifting in American music. Sponsored in part by the Cultural Affairs Committee and by the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation ArtsCONNECT which is made possible through the generous support of the National Endowment for the Arts’ Regional Touring Program.

Grace Street Reserved Seating $40 | $36 | $32 “[Harris is the] Apotheosis of hip hop” –Lewis Segal, LA Times “Sakamoto creates expressionist theater that evokes the mysterious, the withering and the tongue-in-cheek.” –San Francisco Bay Guardian “A contemporary pop spin on the classical discipline of butoh.” –Seattle Stranger Cultural Intimacy In Motion is an intersection of four artists that explodes conventional notions of cross-cultural dialogue. VCUarts, in partnership with the Modlin Center for the Arts, presents two collaborative dance performances and an in-depth discussion with the artists who made them. Drawing from Japanese Butoh traditions with a fusion of contemporary ideas, Michael Sakamoto and beloved hip-hop choreographer Rennie Harris conceived Flash as a conversation between their respective aesthetics (butoh and hip-hop) and cultural backgrounds (Japanese-American and AfricanAmerican). Torobaka unites classical Indian Kathak with Spanish Flamenco in a duet performed to live music by the acclaimed London choreographer Akram Khan, and Sevillian-born Israel Galván. Torobaka is a thrilling stylistic dialogue. Inspired by the rhythmic roots of civilization and the sacred relationship between the hunter and animal, the performers use innovative choreography, exquisite technique, and contemporary storytelling to create a distinctly new form of dance. Israel Galván has been called “revolutionary,” “avant-garde,” and simply “a genius.” Known for his complex and rapid-fire footwork punctuated by moments of stillness and silence, Galván dances flamenco on the cutting edge. Presented to diverse audiences in the Mid-Atlantic region, portions of this culturally dynamic project will also be distributed nationally via live stream and/or archived high-definition broadcast. The Torobaka performance will take place at Richmond CenterStage’s Carpenter Theatre. Ticket prices for this event include a $2 per ticket restoration fee.

With magical stage effects, and courtly splendor, the fairy tale is replete with a king and queen, fairies both good and evil, and a beautiful princess and dream prince.

With a rollicking text by David Greig, barnstorming live music; and a ‘terrific, inventive sense of fun…’ (The Scotsman), The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart is the lock-in to end all lock-ins. The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart is performed among the audience, so pull up a chair and wet your whistle for an incredibly inventive and entertaining piece of anarchic theatre, live music, and strange goings-on.

THURSDAY-SATURDAY OCTOBER 1-3 | 7:30 PM SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4 | 2:00 PM Cousins Studio Theatre General Admission $10 “An exhilarating theatrical kaleidoscope” –The Guardian “Caryl Churchill is the greatest living playwright.” –Tony Kushner From renowned playwright Caryl Churchill (Cloud Nine, Top Girls, Serious Money, The Skriker, Fen, Far Away, Drunk Enough to Say I Love You?) comes a dazzling and deeply poignant new play that features 57 micro-scenes, some less than 30 seconds, that explore a world in soundbites. A world in which data trumps human contact and attention spans are measured in seconds. Of Love and Information, Ben Brantley of The New York Times says “... Leave it to Ms. Churchill to come up with a work that so ingeniously and exhaustively mirrors our age of the splintered attention span... This British playwright has proved herself without peer in creating expressly topical works in which form and function are one.... Sharp-minded [and] tender-hearted.”

THURSDAY-SATURDAY NOVEMBER 19-21 | 7:30 PM SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22 | 2:00 PM Alice Jepson Theatre Reserved Seating $10 Winner of the 2004 New York Drama Critics Circle and the Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Play, Intimate Apparel is a deeply moving portrait of Esther, a middle-aged AfricanAmerican seamstress, who lives in a boarding house for women and sews intimate apparel for clients who range from wealthy white patrons to prostitutes. Her skills and discretion are much in demand, and she has managed to stuff a goodly sum of money into her quilt over the years. One by one, the other denizens of the boarding house marry and move away, but Esther remains, lonely and longing for a husband and a future. Written by the award-winning playwright Lynn Nottage, Intimate Apparel offers poignant commentary on the turn of the century era when the cut and color of one’s dress—and of course, skin—determined whom one could and could not marry, sleep with, or even talk to in public. Following his successful 2014 staging of Clybourne Park, internationally acclaimed, award-winning director Chuck Mike follows up with this titillating drama on the Jepson stage.
