WELCOME TO TEXAS PERFORMING ARTS Our 2017-18 Campus & Community Engagement Insider’s Guide is your invitation to join us at the many events we offer designed to contextualize the arts experience.

Three overarching goals form the cornerstone of our activities as we seek to engage, involve, and bring together the on-campus University of Texas at Austin community and Central Texas community at large: • Alignment with the university’s academic mission • Student engagement • Cultural leadership We invite visiting artists to serve as master-level teachers and speakers, offering insight into their skills, techniques, and the creative process.

Each year thousands of Central Texans join us at opportunities ranging from brown bag lunches with Broadway cast members to pre-performance talks hosted by faculty, to youth performances for area 7-12th graders, master classes taught by visiting artists, and so much more.

Events are added and information is updated throughout the year. See what’s new at texasperformingarts.org under the Get Involved tab!

ABOUT OUR PROGRAMS Campus Arts Partners Working closely with a wide range of Colleges and programs through the university, the collaborative spirit enhances and broadens the scope of the performing arts as an educational tool. Most recently, we have partnered successfully with the Humanities Institute, the School of Social Work, and the Briscoe Center for American History at The University of Texas at Austin, as well as Free Minds, a program of Foundation Communities, and Austin Community College, among others.

Community Arts Partners In our endeavor to continually expand and enrich the arts experience, we offer a variety of events centered around the Texas Performing Arts season. Co-sponsored with campus and community partners, events like brown bag lunches and discussions are held at our partners’ venues including the Jewish Community Center of Austin, George Washington Carver Museum and Cultural Center, Asian American Cultural Center, Austin Public Library and Austin History Center. Working together, partners strengthen each other, and reach far beyond what one entity alone can provide Central Texas communities.

Focus on Seniors Through our program, “An Evening Out at Texas Performing Arts,” free tickets are provided for seniors with limited means and persons with special needs to experience the live performances we bring to Texas Performing Arts. Participating partners include City of Austin Senior Activity Centers and Austin State Hospital.

Texas Performing Arts Military Support Program In 2011, Texas Performing Arts presented Black Watch, a Gulf War-themed theater piece. The performance provided the university and community with an opportunity to experience and examine the impact of war on the lives of active duty military, veterans, and their families through the arts. This important performance sparked a commitment to foster a support network and raise awareness for military members and their families through our work.

Dover Quartet Mon, Sep 18 | 8 pm McCullough Theatre The Dover Quartet catapulted to international acclaim after taking first prize at the 2013 Banff International String Quartet Competition, and was recently bestowed the Cleveland Quartet Award and the Lincoln Center Emerging Artists Award. With burnished warmth, incisive rhythms, and natural phrasing, the quartet’s sound is “so distinctive as to be identified within mere minutes” (Philadelphia Inquirer), helping confirm its status as “the young American string quartet of the moment” (The New Yorker).

Abraham.In.Motion Live! The Realest MC Fri, Sep 29 | 8 pm McCullough Theatre

Live! The Realest MC references our own humanity in this digital age, creating an abstracted and humorously dark narrative that places the iconic childhood character, Pinocchio, in an industrial dystopia.

Inspired by Pinocchio’s plight to be a ‘real boy,’ Abraham’s ensemble dance work investigates gender roles in the black community and the quest for acceptance in the world of hip-hop celebrity.

Sancho: An Act of Remembrance Thu, Jan 25 & Fri, Jan 26 | 8 pm McCullough Theatre Charles Sancho Ignatius was born on a slave ship but never a slave; he was immortalized by the great English painter Thomas Gainsborough, and in 1774 became the first British-African to cast a vote. In this endlessly revealing, often funny one-man show, celebrated Royal Shakespeare Company actor Paterson Joseph (HBO’s The Leftovers) inhabits the curious, daringly determined life of Sancho—composer, social satirist, general man of refinement—while casting new light on the often misunderstood narratives of the African-British experience.

Fri, Feb 16 | 7 pm Bates Recital Hall Brazilian-born guitarists Sérgio and Odair Assad’s exceptional artistry and uncanny ensemble-playing have led to great success in exploring different styles of classical and world music. For this tour, they team up for the first time with Israeli mandolin player Avi Avital. Passionate and “explosively charismatic” (The New York Times) in live performance, Avital is a driving force behind the reinvigoration of the mandolin repertory. The trio will present a brand-new program that explores both classical repertoire reimagined for guitar and mandolin, and traditional Choro music, a popular genre in Brazil.

C E NT RAL T E XAS STU DEN TS

With his nine-member troupe, Ezralow mingles contemporary dance with humor, provocative ideas, impressive video projections, and an unforgettable classical score in OPEN. “In OPEN I have purposefully chosen to choreograph to a familiar classical score.

I want the familiarity to the music to act like an old friend who welcomes you into a new place to explore, play, rediscover and reinvent.”

Sérgio & Odair Assad and Avi Avital

RENT 20th Anniversary Tour Oct 13–15 Bass Concert Hall

LEXUS BROADWAY IN AUSTIN Each season, in partnership with Broadway Across America and professional Broadway touring artists, we provide unique and exciting opportunities for Central Texas students and the community-at-large to take part in a number of events from brown bag lunches to master classes, to tours of sets.

Join us at informal gatherings for a rare chance to learn from a wide range of artists, designers, and technicians. Unless otherwise noted, events are free and open to the general public.

In 1996, an original rock musical by a little-known composer opened on Broadway…and forever changed the landscape of American theatre. A re-imagining of Puccini’s La Bohème, RENT follows an unforgettable year in the lives of seven artists struggling to follow their dreams without selling out.

With its inspiring message of joy and hope in the face of fear, this timeless celebration of friendship and creativity reminds us to measure our lives with the only thing that truly matters—love.

Rodgers & Hammerstein’s The King and I

Two worlds collide in the Lincoln Center Theater production of this “breathtaking and exquisite” (The New York Times) musical, directed by Barlett Sher.

Set in 1860’s Bangkok, the musical tells the story of the unconventional and tempestuous relationship that develops between the King of Siam and Anna Leonowens, a British schoolteacher whom the modernist King, in an imperialistic world, brings to Siam to teach his many wives and children. Winner of the 2015 Tony Award® for Best Musical Revival, The King and I is “too beautiful to miss” (New York Magazine).

As one most gentlemanly NPR critic put it, “I’ve never laughed so hard at a Broadway musical!”

Gentleman’s Guide tells the uproarious story of Monty Navarro, an heir to a family fortune who sets out to jump the line of succession by eliminating the eight pesky relatives who stand in his way... and be done in time for tea.

S.E.A.T. (Students Experiencing the Arts with their Teachers) Ticket Program Thanks to the generosity of our donors we are able to distribute hundreds of complimentary S.E.A.T. tickets allowing teachers to bring small groups of grade 7-12 students to many of our evening performances as an educational experience. This opportunity is available to teachers of all subjects to enhance classroom learning.

Performing Arts and Academic Connection (PAAC) with Elgin ISD Texas Performing Arts staff collaborates with Elgin 8th and 12th grade Language Arts teachers to provide related standards-based lessons that make an academic connection with performances they attend. This year students will see Fifth House Ensemble Journey LIVE and Ezralow Dance OPEN at Bass Concert Hall.

The performances tentatively planned in Elgin are UT’s premiere choral ensemble Chamber Singers and Hum A Cappella, an award-winning UT student group that sings South Asian Fusion a cappella in Hindi and English. The PAAC program previously ran for eight years in Del Valle ISD and four years in Bastrop ISD. Behind the Scenes Career and STEAM Tours We offer tours that allow students to see backstage at Texas Performing Arts, including equipment and workspaces.

The focus is on career paths in areas such as audio, lighting, scenery design, props, costumes, and wigs/makeup. We also focus on the “STEAM” skills (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) required in these roles. Limited availability.

These programs are open to all grade 7-12 educators in Texas.
