Through education, diversity, and artistic excellence, the Newman Center is pushing Denver’s most important conversations forward through the power of the performing arts. As part of the University of Denver, we’re helping prepare the next generation of citizens for lives of critical thinking and cultural awareness. We’re proud to contribute to these communities. In this spirit, we’re launching the National Geographic Live series for the first time in Denver. We have three speakers who embody our pioneering spirit through their stories of conservation, exploration, and more.

from the
chancellor Welcome to the Robert and Judi Newman Center for the Performing Arts at the University of Denver! For the past fifteen years, within this incredible building, worldclass performers have shared their talents, ideas, and vision with Denver and the DU community. This season, the Newman Center presents the National Geographic Live series — a first for Denver — which explores diversity, conversation, and discovery. We also have the honor to host jazz singer Dianne Reeves and modern classical group Bang on a Can, who will perform with DU’s Lamont School of Music students. And that just skims the surface of the incredible depth of this year’s programming. I am proud that this season prominently features women performers and directors. And I am inspired by the convergence of the arts and social justice by the NEA Jazz Masters, MacArthur Fellows, DU’s own Spirituals Project, and many others. The Newman Center is just one way the University connects with our city and region — and Denver is a city that highly values the arts and culture. Here, our community can find challenging, innovative performances, familyfriendly programming, events featuring prominent thinkers and speakers, and showcases of our talented DU musicians and actors. The Newman Center is also advancing the public good by working with Denver Public Schools to reach students from pre-k through high school. By coming together to enjoy these events, we are participating in and supporting something of immense importance: the joy and transformation made possible through the arts. Thank you for your attendance. Please, enjoy the show.
Rebecca Chopp Chancellor, University of Denver

act i: what it is The Invisible Man’s decision to live underground is not a retreat, the symbol of defeat or an escape. It is in fact the next stage on his path towards enlightenment and self- understanding, the conduit towards autonomy and activity. — Changing the Joke: Invisibility in Merleau-Ponty & Ellison This project is funded by the Bonfils-Stanton Foundation, cultivating arts and leaders for a vibrant community. This project received support from Colorado Creative Industries, WESTAF (the Western States Arts Federation), and the National Endowment for the Arts. Made possible in part 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.

What It Is Beat It Out
What’s Your Damage? Scheduled Programming
Inspired by Mel Watkins’ book, On The Real Side: From Slavery to Chris Rock, Spike Lee’s controversial movie, Bamboozled, and Dave Chappelle’s “dancing vs. shuffling” analogy, this evening-length dance theater work celebrates African-American humor, examines “the mask” of survival and the “double consciousness” (W.E.B. DuBois) of black performer throughout history and the stereotypical roles dominating current popular Black culture. Through comedy, live original music, animation, theater, and poignantly retrospective dance vocabulary, Mr. TOL E. RAncE speaks to the issue of tolerance — how much Black performers had to tolerate, and addresses — forms of modern day minstrelsy we tolerate today. It is not a history lesson. Blending and contrasting the contemporary with the historic, this is a personal new work that strives to engage the community in a timely dialogue about where we have been, where we are and where we might want to be. The creation and presentation of Mr. TOL E. RAncE is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts in cooperation with the New England Foundation for the Arts through the National Dance Project (NDP). Major support for NDP is provided by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, with addi-
tional support from the Community Connections Fund of the MetLife Foundation. Support from the NEA provides funding for choreographers in the early stages of their careers. This work was created, in part, during a Creative Development Residency at the Bates Dance Festival and Kingsborough Community College. This work was also funded by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. Production residency for this work was supported by the National Dance Project of the New England Foundation for the Arts, with funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. This residency took place at The Grier School and Halbritter Center for the Performing Arts at Juniata College, Huntingdon, Pennsylvania.

Brown Dramaturgs: Daniel Banks, Kamilah Forbes and Talvin Wilks Sound Design: Sam Crawford Set Design: Elizabeth C. Nelson Costume Design Contributors: Zulema Griffin, Carolyn Meckha Cherry, Mayte Natalio and Catherine Foster Tap Coaches: Shaune Johnson and Marshall Davis BLACK GIRL: Linguistic Play reveals the complexity of carving out a self-defined identity as a black female in urban American culture. In a society where black women are often only portrayed in terms of their strength, resiliency, or trauma, this work seeks to interrogate these narratives by representing a nuanced spectrum of black womanhood in a racially and politically charged world. The creation and presentation of BLACK GIRL: Linguistic Play is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts in cooperation with the New England Foundation for the Arts though the National Dance Project. Major support for NDP is provided by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, with additional support from the Community Connections Fund of the MetLife Foundation. Support from the NEA provides funding for choreographers in the early stages of their careers. BLACK GIRL: Linguistic Play 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, with additional support from the National Endowment for the Arts. BLACK GIRL: Linguistic Play was commissioned by DANCECleveland through a 2014 Joyce Award from the Joyce Foundation. BLACK GIRL: Linguistic Play was developed in part during a residency at Baryshnikov Arts Center, New York, NY and awarded through the Princess Grace Foundation – USA Works in Progress residency program. A creative residency for BLACK GIRL: Linguistic Play was also supported by Wesleyan Center for the Arts. BLACK GIRL: Linguistic Play was also developed in part with support from a Jerome Anniversary 50th Anniversary Grant.

Arsenault Sound Design: Justin Ellington Costume Design: Mayte Natalio Costume Supervisor: Amy Page I see black people as super heroes because we keep rising. — Question Bridge: Black Males in America ink celebrates the rituals, gestural vocabulary, and traditions that remain ingrained within the lineage of the African Diaspora and reclaims African-Americans narratives by showcasing their authenticity. The work examines the culture of Black life that is often appropriated, rewritten, or silenced. The lead commissioners for ink are Peak Performances @ Montclair State University, NJ and The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (Washington, D.C.), with support from the Lumberyard. ink also received co-commissioning support from ASU Gammage.

The work is also being created, in part, during a production residency at ASU Gammage, University of Iowa’s Hancher Auditorium, 2017 Off-Shore Creation Residency at The Yard and creative residencies at Peak Performances @ Montclair State University, NJ Jacob’s Pillow, and CUNY Dance Initiative at Kingsborough Community College.

These avid philanthropists, and winners of the 2014 Colorado Business Committee for the Arts’ John Madden Jr. Leadership Award, smile when they remember becoming involved in the campaign to create an outstanding center for the performing arts at the University of Denver. Daniel L. Ritchie, then chancellor, invited Judi to head the effort when the Center was only a dream. Later, the Center was named in the couple’s honor. The couple’s passion for performing arts and education harmoniously intersected with the Newman Center, which is home to exceptional performance venues and DU’s Lamont School of Music and Department of Theatre. Former DU Chancellor Dan Ritchie has often said that “love is the principal ingredient in any successful building,” says Judi. “The Newman center, as well as the University’s many other buildings, show just how true that is.” The Newmans appreciated the masterful collaboration between Ritchie and DU Architect Emeritus Cabell Childress, and the expertise of Joseph Docksey, then director of the Lamont School, and William Temple Newman Center Presents 2018-19 Season

Judy sits on the Visiting Committee for the Frost School of Music, the Academic Affairs Committee, and the Board of Trustees of the University of Miami. “Each year brings more recognition to this venue and its world-class programs,” says Bob. “Judy and I are delighted to be part of this University of Denver community.” newmancenter.du.edu
