Clybourne Park Written by Bruce Norris Directed by Brianne Beatrice ‘04 A spin-off of Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun, this razor-sharp satire takes a jab at race and real estate in a fictional Chicago neighborhood.

Bruce Norris’ play Clybourne Park which won the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for drama and the 2012 Tony Award for best play, overflows with dirty words.

None seem filthier in context, however, than “tribes,” “territory,” “property,” “society,” and “community,” which are burdened with the intersecting stories of race and class in this country. Clybourne Park is both satirical and deeply troubling as it provides an emotionally raw look at race in America where everything and nothing seems to change.

The Drowsy Chaperone: A Musical Within a Comedy Music and Lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison Book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar Directed by David Allen George Musical Direction by Joseph Stroup Choreography by Meghan McLyman Winner of five Tony Awards, including Best Book and Best Original Score, The Drowsy Chaperone is a loving send-up of the Jazz Age musical, featuring one showstopping song and dance number after another.

With the houselights down, a man in a chair appears on stage and puts on his favorite record: the cast recording of a fictitious 1928 musical. The recording comes to life and The Drowsy Chaperone begins as the man in the chair looks on. Mix in two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a not-so-bright hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan, and an intoxicated chaperone, and you have the ingredients for an evening of madcap delight.

Hailed by New York Magazine as “The Perfect Broadway Musical,” The Drowsy Chaperone is a masterful metamusical, poking fun at all the tropes that characterize the musical theatre genre.

BETSY MILLER AND MATTHEW CUMBIE Informal Showing and Master Class Knowing and Not Knowing: Adventures in Improvisation and Choreography 1:40-2:55 pm Matthew Cumbie explores the processes of orientation and organization, and how those can lead us through the known and the unknown into discovery.

This class will explore improvised structures and choreography as a way to move into our own full three-dimensional dancing. All are welcome.

Informal Performance: The (still perfectly fine) Adventures of Unicorn Hair + Dragon Heartstring 3:05-4:45 pm This whimsical duet by Matthew Cumbie (Associate Artistic Director, Dance Exchange, Washington, D.C.) and Betsy Miller (Assistant Professor of Dance, Salem State University) explores new possibilities for virtuosity in performance and presence, while challenging our expectations for post-modern dance with heart, humor and play. Betsy Miller is a dance artist, educator and facilitator whose choreography is described as “haunting, spunky and full of imagination,” (New York State Council on the Arts). Matthew Cumbie’s work combines his interests in improvisation, engagement and activism, bringing a poetic approach to a specifically queer experience. A discussion will follow the performance.

LAVA DANCE A Goddessey: our feminist survival story journeys through landscapes, emotional and geologic, carrying a transmuting traveler from a bleak and blurry patriarchal present into a rainbow colored feminist future with the help of ancestors, geologic and otherwise. This work showcases LAVA’s unique language of feminist acrobatic dance: towering human pyramids, acrobatic wrestling, explosive partnering, and subtle physicality.

Founded in 2000, LAVA is an Obie and Bessie award-winning performance troupe that explodes with empowerment and flows with creative invention. Their performances reference a wide range of ideas including feminism, science, queer inclusion, gender identity, and the urban environment. The women of LAVA are fierce, witty and powerful while sharing their humanity and sincerity in work that defies gravity, convention and all expectations.

ROBERT SIEGELMAN

Do You Worry A Lot? A Drawing Installation Do you worry a lot? Yes. My drawings are responses to working from nude models in a drawing group. It’s an interesting bunch. I am the only gay guy.

Do you draw a lot? Not enough. I should draw more.

My drawings are explorations; they are not about the model. Drawing is a practice, but I don’t draw for practice. I’m not trying to improve skills or “get it right.”

Which do you prefer, worrying or drawing?

I prefer drawing.

Students often ask about proportion.

Nothing seems to be in proportion these days. Why should drawings be? I‘m more curious about distortion. It might be a more accurate way to draw.

Robert Siegelman, Do You Worry A Lot?

Which do you do more often, worry or draw? I worry more.

What do you worry about? Money, art, sex, my boyfriend, friends, family, Christmas, my emotions, and more.

What do you draw about? The figure, my relationship, random thoughts and funny stuff, money, sex, fame, fashion, my emotions, and more.

I experiment a lot, and respond to what I observe, inside and out, and what I have on my paper, to see what develops.

When is a drawing finished? When it says more than I expected.

Sometimes I complete one quickly. Sometimes, I bring one back to another session and work on it again, and again. When a piece is finished I hang it on my studio wall. I’m always editing on this wall, adding new drawings and taking some down.

I have over fifty up. I have been adding photographs, objects and small sculptures. The wall itself has become a piece.

It is now immersive, like obsessive thoughts and worries.

When do you finish worrying? Never! My mother used to worry a lot too. I remember her saying “I have to worry about dinner now.”

Why did she worry about dinner? She made dinner everyday.

Do you do other things besides worry and draw? I take photographs, teach, do laundry, cook, read, pay bills, and take walks. I like to meet new people too.

Paul Theriault, 0I

PAUL THERIAULT Whatever we see is changing, losing its balance. The reason everything looks beautiful is because it is out of balance, but its background is always in perfect harmony. This is how everything exists—losing its balance against a background of perfect balance.

—Shunryu Suzuk I am a painter, bookseller and father of two from the Boston area. My paintings are somewhere between landscapes and microscopic images. They are mistake-filled balancing acts; waterfalls of paper and paint searching out the curves of gravity, water and light.

John Perez, Flower, 2016

Any act of creation is a fleeting flash if rendered through digital means, but it survives in the handmade artifact. The math is abstract; the digital has no material form. Look at our hands, look at what lies discarded at the curb, look at the pages of the books through which we travel in time—there is a rush of source material at your fingertips. The digital revolution won’t last beyond its inevitable dissolution, but look to your hands. They last while we live, so make things with your hands.

Try to stop suffering when you make mistakes. Turn them into the background; work against a perfect balance.

Irina Boulanova, Strawberry, 2016
