Stage Combat Workshop: CANCELLED

THE STAGE COMBAT WORKSHOP (12/11) HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

Sadly (for us, for the moment), Michael Liebhauser will not be able to visit RIC for the Stage Combat workshop on Wednesday.

As part of a previous commitment, Michael is currently in Toronto filming a History Channel docudrama, appearing as a young Steve Jobs. The production company has added an extra day of shooting at the last minute, and so he will not be back in the States until Thursday.

Michael hopes to be able to arrange something for RIC in the coming semester -- perhaps a workshop, or a professional talk about how he is developing his career as a regional stage and film actor. (In addition to this film, he is also about to start rehearsals for an off-Broadway production.)

Any new information will of course be posted on Callboard.

 

En garde, Stage Combatants!

Michael Liebhauser, Actor and Certified Stage Combat Instructor and Choreographer, will be leading a Stage Combat workshop this coming Wednesday, December 11, from 12 - 1:30pm in the BABS.

That's this coming Wednesday -- after the musical theatre cabaret, during free period.

All levels of stage combat experience are welcome.

Michael is an excellent dramatic and comedic actor, musician, playwright, and clown. Based in NYC, he has Rhode Island ties and we are very lucky to have him visit us before the end of the term.

[If you want, check out his website: MichaelLiebhauser.com.]

Wednesday 12/11 in the BABS at 12pm. Be there or be square. 

And, of course, wear comfy clothes.

!!Amadeus Tickets for this Friday at 7pm!!

Hello all -- 

There has been some confusion about this arrangement, and some folks have said that they have not received information about this (a program is posted on the lounge bulletin board, and it was posted on the Theatre Org group chat). Here are the details, just in case:

The RIC Theatre Org has purchased 15 tickets for Friday evening's performance of Amadeus at the Gamm Theatre in Warwick. 

Friday, 12/6 at 7pm; The Gamm Theatre -- 1245 Jefferson Blvd; Warwick 02886 

If you are interested in going please contact Jennifer Jeanmarie at jjeanmarie_3963@email.ric.edu. 

The show has significant RIC representation -- faculty as well as alumni. One of the leads, Michael Liebhauser, will be conducting a stage combat workshop next Wednesday during free period -- 12-1:30pm. [He is doing wonderful work in this show!]

We cannot refund these tickets, so please come see it if you can!

QUEER DURATIONS Symposium 

at Brown University 

December 5-7, 2024

Part of the Brown Arts IGNITE Series, this three-day symposium will explore duration in queer and trans aesthetics and performance.

QUEER DURATIONS is a three-day symposium that delves into the significance of duration as a vital aesthetic concern for performance, visual, and media artists, illuminating duration’s importance to the artistic rendering of queer lives, communities, and subjectivities. Highlights of the symposium will include performances developed by four of today’s most innovative performance artists: Anh Vo, Dorian Wood, Elliot Reed, and Xiomara Sebastián Castro Niculescu (XSCN). These performances will be accompanied by panel discussions with leading curators Adrienne Edwards (Whitney Museum of American Art), Lia Gangitano (Participant INC, NY), and Shoghig Halajian (Human Resources, LA); artists Sharon Hayes, Brooke O’Hara, Julie Tolentino, Simon Leung, and Jonathan Berger; and scholars Tavia Nyong’o, Heather Love, and Summer Kim Lee, in conversation with Brown faculty members Leticia Alvarado, J Dellecave, and Leon Hilton and Brown Arts Insitute’s Associate Curator Thea Quiray Tagle. A video program of durational artworks, curated by Brown PhD student JD Stokely, will run concurrently with the symposium.

Where: 

Granoff Center for the Creative Arts, Brown University

154 Angell Street, Providence, RI 02912

When: 

December 5-7, 2024

Reservations: 

Free and open to the public

QUEER DURATIONS is produced by Brown Arts Institute and the Department of Theatre Arts and Performance Studies as part of the inaugural Brown Arts IGNITE Series, with additional support from the Pembroke Center's Faculty Seed Grant Program and the Department of American Studies and US Latino Studies Fund.
