THE ROYAL ROAD: an exhibition of paintings by JILL PABICH “The interpretation of dreams is in fact the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious.” –Sigmund Freud For Jill Pabich, both her dreams and her children provide inspiration for painting. Says Pabich, “My dreams are very vivid. They accompany me throughout my every day; sometimes as a whisper, sometimes as an endless loop of dreams that I remember, often decades old. While I can’t make sense of them on a logical level, they speak to me through symbols and atmospheres that are palpable. And because I can’t explain them in words, I paint images of them.” “My children’s faces evoke both deep love and awe in me; being able to recreate their beauty feels like creating magic. My process starts by looking through photographs I’ve taken; sometimes a portrait and sometimes a landscape with a strong sense of place. I choose settings because they are evocative of my memories and dreams: a day at the fair, an abandoned house, a stone watchtower. I use Photoshop as a ‘sketching’ tool to combine different images in different layers and combinations. Jill Pabich, Ducky Defends the Castle Keep, oil on canvas, 48 x 60, 2013 I use the result of this as a reference for painting.” “I keep formal elements in mind as well: strong diagonals in my compositions, and jewel-like colors while always trying to improve my painting ability. I often work using a monochromatic underpainting and then apply layers of colored paint on top. This allows me to tackle the drafting in one step and the color in several more passes, resulting in luminous images.”

PACK OF LIES: an exhibition of drawings by JASON ASSELIN Empty packs of cigarettes find their way to the ground and get crushed by cars or human traffic. They are rained and snowed upon and kicked around for months. “Unknowingly”, says artist Jason Asselin, “the forces of nature and the inhabitants of the city are preparing these discarded cigarette packs for me to draw from. I consider this artwork a way of taking the nasty habits of smoking and littering, and re-contextualizing the resultant trash for a positive purpose.” Looking at our garbage tells us about who we are; it is a cultural artifact of the age in which we live. What is now trash was, at one point in time, a very important possession for many people. When a cigarette package is empty, it is quickly discarded as trash. At first it is valued as extremely important, but in the end it becomes totally useless. This is the action of a disposable culture. We all participate to some extent in this culture and in doing so we are leaving our mark on the earth. These actions will echo into the future to eventually become our legacy. This new body of work by Jason Asselin is a result of close examination of these items which have been discarded, seemingly without another thought. By not only examining but by re-making these cigarette packs at an increased scale, Asselin implores us to look at what we have left behind.
Exhibition: October 7 – November 4, 2015 Gallery Talk with the Artist: Wednesday, October 21, 12:30 pm Reception: Wednesday, October 21, 2 pm

Tango Master Class Series taught by Pamela Slavksy Join us for one class or join us for all! Tango: The Soul of Social Dancing These three master classes will combine dance lesson, lecture and discussion to draw participants into the Argentine tango experience. Explore what is unique about tango and how it preserves the partner connection; the cultural and social contexts that shape the dance; and how learning methods and technique can serve the social dance experience. No partner needed!
Class I: What Do We Do When We Tango? This class will give you a taste of what many consider the essence of Argentine tango: the connection between partners. Demonstration by Pamela and Steve Slavsky
Class II: The Whole Tango Enter the milonga! Dance and try on parts of the tango experience where music, tradition, trends, and human nature blend to create a social dance event that can be as culturally diverse as it is traditional. With the assistance of North Shore Tango
Class III: Tango Technique and Function In this class you will learn traditional, iconic tango technique while also exploring how methods and technique can preserve or challenge the pleasures of social dancing. Demonstration by Pamela and Steve Slavsky Instructor Pamela Slavsky has studied both Argentine tango and salsa extensively, including travel to Argentina and Cuba. She has taught social dance at Boston area universities, in dance communities and at festivals around New England for over a decade. In her dance instruction, Pamela seeks to preserve the interactive dynamics unique to social dance through concepts drawn from somatic and mindfulness practices.

Informal Dance Performance: Salem State Dance Faculty featuring guest artist Kris Lenzo The Salem State dance faculty share an informal showing of recent choreography. Caitlin Corbett continues her exploration of movement-driven dance that celebrates human quirkiness and challenges our notion of beauty. Corbett’s resistance to linear story telling and overt meaning is evident in her dances, as is her utter faith in the power of movement to express. Movement is shaped to distill an idea to an essential emotional resonance. Meghan McLyman shows work that explores the balance between motherhood and oneself including the joys, frustrations and pure exhaustion of simply trying to make it through the day. James Morrow reflects on white privilege, the music industry and his own dance background as a white artist who works primarily in an Africanist Aesthetic. Guest artist Kris Lenzo performs Morrow’s Passage Hawk, a work that challenges the genre of wheelchair dancing finding nontraditional ways of exploring both movement and the use of the apparatus itself.

Dance Performance: Jennifer Polins, artist-in-residence Jennifer Polins’ interdisciplinary approach results in the creation of performance installations that combine mediums of video, dance, sculpture, and humor. Her work is often interactive, inviting the audience into the event as an active participant. Jen’s latest work, WASTING TIME WITH THE OBVIOUS presents an installation of simultaneous improvised solos sourced from themes of space, perspective and presence. Each performer has a sound score created by Polins, playing softly out of an iPod, pulling the audience close to hear the sound and watch the dance. CHAPTER 45 works with complexity and transparency, layering spoken word, audience participation, improvised scores, and dynamic choreography with a cast of 20 to a sound score by Michael Wall. A SENSIBLE THING is a quirky, exhausting and intricate solo performed by Polins that is set to the rich music of Robert Schumann, directed by Peter Schmitz. Polins is a movement practitioner and performance maker, bridging somatics, performance practices and contemporary dance techniques. She is the director of The School for Contemporary Dance and Thought and co-founder of Wire Monkey Dance. She holds an MFA in dance from Hollins University/The American Dance Festival and is a 2014 Mass Cultural Council choreographic fellow. Her work has been seen across America, Europe and Asia. Polins lives part-time in Berlin Germany where she teaches, curates and collaborates with Stephanie Maher and many vibrant performance artists at the Ponderosa TanzLand Festival.

The Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare Directed by Kate Kohler Amory The comic device of “identical twins separated at birth and reunited by chance” gag is fundamental to farce. In The Comedy of Errors, Shakespeare goes one better by giving each identical twin an identical twin servant. When Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant Dromio arrive in the city of Ephesus, they have no idea that their identical twins, Antipholus of Ephesus and his servant Dromio, await. The mayhem that ensues as the visitors are constantly mistaken for the hometown pair leaves Antipholus of Syracuse reveling in foreign hospitality and Antipholus of Ephesus horrified as he watches his world fall apart. The Dromios do their best to keep up as they are caught between the two, obeying all the wrong orders. Set in the 1920’s, this production of the Bard’s beloved farce will be a mash-up of Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin and Will Shakespeare. Complete with live slient movie style piano accompaniment and featuring clown tango, this madcap romp of mistaken identities is sure to delight!

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck Adapted by Frank Galati and directed by Peter Sampieri
Library of Congress, Prints & Photographs Division, FSA/OWI Collection, [reproduction number, LC-USF34- 009667-E [P&P]
Experience the classic American novel by John Steinbeck that inspired a generation in an intimate setting along with live music inspired by Woody Guthrie’s dust-bowl-era folk ballads. The epic story of the Joad family’s migration across America, powered by a cast of 24 actors and musicians, seems more relevant than ever. Examining provocative social issues of environmental degradation and wage inequality, Steinbeck’s landscape is one of loss and of hope that still speaks its message of resistance into our hearts across the divide of time. Powerful, moving and packed with live folk music, The Grapes of Wrath will have us humming a dust-bowl hymn long after the curtain falls.

Pick-Up: An Original Dance-Theatre Performance Come experience an original dance-theatre performance that explores issues of race, misrepresentation, ignorance, and bias through the lens of a “pick-up” game of street basketball. The result of an interdisciplinary collaboration between dance professor James Morrow and theatre professor Peter Sampieri, the piece features original spoken-word poetry woven together with hip-hop dance choreography to explore complex themes of identity. Featuring a performance text written entirely by students, this fast-paced, energized production promises to promote positive change by offering a holistic and collective student-voice to the way we view our differences in society and on campus.

Pioneers of 20th and 21st Century Composition A Musical Tribute to Leonard Bernstein A Musical Tribute to Leonard Bernstein celebrates one of Massachusetts’ finest composers and a controversial international legend in 20th century music.

This concert blends all of these genres into a musical narrative of Bernstein’s life, exploring his concerns and thoughts about social consciousness, love, politics, and religion. This concert features music department faculty members Tiffany Baxter, mezzo-soprano and Dr. Bevely Soll, pianist.

Frank Bidart, poet
Much of Bidart’s early work focuses on the origins and consequences of guilt. Among his most notable pieces are dramatic monologues presented through such characters as Herbert White, a childmurderer, and Ellen West, an anorexic woman. “Part of his effectiveness comes simply from his ability as a storyteller,” Frank Bidart commented Michael Dirda in Washington Post Book World. “You long to discover what happens to his poor, doomed people.” Bidart’s recent volumes include Metaphysical Dog: Poems (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2013)– National Books Critics Circle Award; Watching the Spring Festival: Poems (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008); Star Dust (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2005); Music Like Dirt (Sarabande Books, 2002); and Desire (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1997), which was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, and was a finalist for both the National Book Award and the National Book Critic’s Circle Award. The 2007 recipient of the Bollingen Prize for Poetry, he teaches English at Wellesley College.

Jeff Love
Frank Bidart’s first books, Golden State and The Book of the Body, gained critical attention and praise, but his reputation as a poet of uncompromising originality was made with The Sacrifice, published in 1983.
My mother walks to the refrigerator and takes out two glass-bottle Cokes and sets them on the table before us. Now, thoroughly tired, she sits down heavily. Her black hair, which had been secured tightly into a bun, has become loose with a couple of short strands falling about her shoulders. There is flour matted on her clothes, on her round cheek and lightly on top of her hair, making it appear grey. With a shaky, swollen hand she takes the caps off of the sodas with a bottle opener. Water quickly begins to run down the sides of the glass from the heat in the kitchen. We sit without drinking as we wait for the rest of the bread to bake. —from Fabiola Mejia’s The Baker’s Daughter
