Hastings Street

February 16, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Mosaic-Youth-Theatre-present-Hastings-Street

At a time when history was just around the corner, this was the street at the center of it all! Experience a special time in Detroit’s cultural history when Mosaic Youth Theatre presents “Hastings Street.” Performances are Friday at 8 p.m.; Saturday at 8 p.m.; and Sunday at 4 p.m. at the Detroit Film Theatre inside the Detroit Institute of Arts.

For teenagers in Detroit’s “Black Bottom,” the 1940’s were a time of exploration and conflict. Hastings Street was at the heart of it all – filled with business and commerce by day; and bright lights, blues music, and danger by night.

Originally commissioned for the Detroit Tri-centenary Celebrations, Hastings Street swings with a jazzy beat and the low-down blues the 1940’s. Told through song, dance and an unforgettable story, the production is proudly presented with the support of Ford Motor Company Fund.

Tickets are $32 for premium seating, $22 for adults and $15 for students and senior citizens (available at box office only). For reservations and more information, please call (313) 872-6910.

The Power of Song

February 4, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Detroit Childrens Choir on DPTV

Detroit Children’s Choir (DCC) is pleased to announce its 7th annual Spring Concert on Saturday, April 27 at Detroit’s Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church at 4 p.m. Titled The Power of Song, the concert will be highlighted with a performance of a new work by 2012 Kresge Arts Fellow Kris Johnson titled “Change.” The concert will also feature a performance by Men of Grace, the inspirational singing group from Pontiac, and Living Arts’ Youth Dance Ensemble.

“This year’s theme of The Power of Song holds multiple meanings for the Detroit Children’s Choir,” said DCC Artistic Director Lauri Hogle. “Choral singing is powerful because it creates community, breaks down divisions of all kinds, and requires extraordinary individual focus and completely unified teamwork. The power of song shapes a life, develops a leader, and instills confidence with successful creation of something beautiful, positive, and uplifting.”

The concert will take audiences on a musical journey that showcases the power that song plays in many areas of our lives as well as around the world. Songs will include the spiritual and praise-filled “Joy in my Heart” as well as the inspirational “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and “Pick Yourself Up” which were written to uplift during times of war and sadness. The concert will close with an audience sing-along of three works that emphasize the importance of hope and community.

Kris Johnson and the Kris Johnson Group will accompany DCC in a number of selections including the premiere of his newest work “Change,” written for and performed by the combined choirs of DCC. Other works by Johnson include “Life” and “Strength in Numbers.” The Kris Johnson Group will also accompany DCC in the English and Spanish song “Oye la Musica.”

Guest performances by Men of Grace and Living Arts Dance Ensemble will also take place during the performance. Men of Grace will perform two solo works and then join with DCC for “Rhythm of Life.” The Living Arts’ Youth Dance Ensemble will join DCC for a multidisciplinary performance of “The Artist Teaches Us All.”

The Power of Song performance is open and free to the public. More information about the performance can be found at www.detroitchilldrenschoir.com or by calling the DCC office at (313) 833-4432.

Founded in 2006, the Detroit Children’s Choir is based on the example of the Chicago Children’s Choir with in-school, neighborhood, and concert choirs. The mission of the Detroit Children’s Choir is to use the power and discipline of singing to bring together Detroit’s children in grades 3-8 – from urban and suburban communities, representing a wide range of ethnicities, religions, and socio-economic levels – in a way that strengthens team building, creativity, social interaction, understanding, and connection. DCC currently offers three community choirs throughout Detroit, a number of in-school choirs, and a Touring Choir.

For more information on Detroit Children’s Choir, please call the DCC office at (313) 833-4432 or visit www.detroitchildrenschoir.org. For press inquiries, please contact Jill Overacker, Public Relations & Marketing Associate at (248) 559-2095.

The Murals Dance

January 25, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Detroit-Industry-by-Diego-Rivera

Famed around the world for their depictions of the people of Southeast Michigan in action in their work and lives, Detroit Industry by Diego Rivera will come to life Sunday at the Detroit Institute of Arts.

Eastern Michigan University Dance Majors, under the direction of professor Joanna McNamara, will perform in the Diego Rivera Detroit Industry Murals Court at the Detroit Institute of Arts on Sunday, April 28, from 2-4 p.m.

Free with paid admission and open to the public, the event consists of an open rehearsal followed by a presentation by professor McNamara and her colleagues on the multiple processes involved in making a video dance.

McNamara’s new dance, to music by Paul Dreshner, will be filmed in the Rivera Court later in the week. EMU faculty lecturer Laura Zimmerman, director of photography for the dance, will also participate in the Sunday presentation.

The dance, which draws from the juxtaposed natural and human-made dynamics and relationships of the Detroit Industry murals, explores ways in which the immense court can be activated through movement.

“I think of the dance not so much as a representation of the murals, but as a dialogue between the dancers’ embodied action and Rivera’s frescoes,” says McNamara.

The dancers, who were instrumental in creating the work, are Jermaine Dickerson, Jennifer Flanagan, Chloe Gray, Amber Lawson, Morgan Hertz, Anthony Milian, Mariah Robinette, and Rebecca Zahm.

“I usually choreograph a dance with minimal input from my dancers,” says McNamara. “But I couldn’t ignore Rivera’s emphasis on the significance of the voice of the workers depicted in the Detroit Industry murals. It’s a reoccurring theme. So I gave my dancers structured improvisations then developed much of what evolved out of these improvs into the final piece. The dancers thus have a very strong voice in the choreographed dance.”

In addition to the above dancers, Dance Major Lauren Mudry serves as production manager for this project and graduate student David Koltunchik as camera operator.

Body to Body

Eisenhower-Dance-Ensemble-Body-to-Body

Eisenhower Dance Ensemble presents three premiere performances in “Body to Body.” EDE’s final presentation of the 2012-2013 season takes place Friday, April 5 at the Macomb Center for the Performing Arts.

From EDE:

Eisenhower Dance Ensemble (EDE), metro Detroit’s premier contemporary dance company, will present its final performance of the 2012-13 season at the Macomb Center for the Performing Arts on Friday, April 5 starting at 8:00 p.m. Titled Body to Body, the performance will be an eclectic and entertaining mix of works including world premieres by EDE Artistic Director Laurie Eisenhower and guest choreographer Ron de Jesus.

 Body to Body audiences will enjoy a preview of new work in progress by Eisenhower called “Alice And” that combines dance with video. A 2012 Kresge Artist Fellow, Eisenhower’s “Alice And” will be premiered at Arts X Detroit 2013, an event that exclusively presents works created by the 2011-2012 Kresge Eminent Artists and Artist Fellows in more venues located throughout Midtown on April 10-14. “Alice and” is a surreal journey that is loosely based on dreams. Eisenhower will also premiere a lighter work titled “What was that?” that will be both fun and entertaining.

Chicago’s Ron de Jesus, an award-winning choreographer and dancer, set his newest work “Begin with the End in Mind” on the EDE dancers in February of 2013. EDE premiered the work at California’s CSU-Monterey Bay’s World Theatre in March of 2013; Body to Body marks the work’s first presentation to Michigan audiences. “Begin with the End in Mind” is beautiful and romantic work full of interconnected lifts that test the strength and grace of the EDE dancers.

Rounding out the performance will be Michael Foley‘s gesture-infused, full-bodied work “No Angels in my Kamikaze Heaven,” and Eisenhower’s “Songs without Words,” a comedic work that blends humor with introspection in a suite of dances.

Tickets for Body to Body are $25 and $20 for students and seniors. They are available by calling the Macomb Center for the Performing Arts Box Office at 586.286.2222 or online at www.macombcenter.com.

Dance of the Dark Spanish Moon

December 20, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Luna Negra Dance Theater

Luna Negra Dance Theater‘s distinctive style blends the discipline of ballet with the dynamic movements of contemporary dance, infused with the explosive energy of Latin and Afro-Caribbean dance forms. The dance company prides itself on presenting the works of renowned Latino contemporary choreographers as well as up and coming Latino choreographers from around the world.

Celebrate the richness and diversity of the Latino culture with the Luna Negra Dance Theater at the Macomb Center for the Performing Arts on Friday, Jan. 25 at 8 p.m.

Through the celebration and exploration of Latino tradition and identity Luna Negra Dance Theater creates, performs, and teaches the art of movement by Latino choreographers. Chicago’s only professional Latino contemporary dance company, and the only Latino contemporary dance company in the country that is solely devoted to the works of Latino choreographers, Luna Negra’s distinctive style blends the art of movement, strongly flavored by Latin and Afro-Caribbean dance forms.

Luna Negra deliberately steers away from expected stereotypes or folkloric representations. Instead, it builds upon Latino artistic traditions to create new, highly original works of dance theater, contemporary in both style and content, telling stories that express the rich diversity of Latino cultures today.

Luna in Spanish translates as “moon” and the moon is usually white. Negra translates as “black” or “dark.” The name Luna Negra speaks to the diversities and duality found in the Latino nations. It also speaks to the nature and influence of Latino culture in the world today – its deep and complex richness is ever present yet not always apparent.

The company was founded by dancer, choreographer and educator Eduardo Vilaro in 1999 to create opportunities for gifted Latino dancers, choreographers and artists working in contemporary dance to be nurtured, developed and brought to a wider public. In 2010, Gustavo Ramírez Sansano was appointed Luna Negra’s new artistic director continuing in the organization’s mission.

Luna Negra Dance Theater brings energy and dance education to classrooms and communities through its Dance Reach program to more than 10,000 students in Chicago and beyond each year. Using dance as a powerful tool for exploring cultural identity, Luna Negra provides positive role models for Latino and other minority students, promoting self-awareness and creating positive self-esteem. Their wide range of education programs includes in-school residencies, in-school performances, student matinees, family matinees, community performances, and special workshops for the community.

Tickets for the 8 p.m. performance are $45 gold circle, $40 house and $20 student/dancer. Seniors 55+ and military save $5 off regular priced tickets. Purchase tickets in person at the Macomb Center box office Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. and Friday 12 – 6 p.m.

The Macomb Center for the Performing Arts is located on Macomb Community College’s Center Campus at 44575 Garfield Road in Clinton Township, Michigan 48038. Tickets and additional information, including a complete season schedule, are available online at www.MacombCenter.com or by calling 586.286.2222.

Luna Negra is supported by the Arts Midwest Touring Fund, a program of Arts Midwest, which is generously supported by the National Endowment for the Arts with additional contributions from the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs.

Luna Negra is sponsored in part by El Charro Restauranté Mexicano, McLaren Medical Group and the Macomb Center’s premiere sponsors for the 2012 -2013 season The Real Yellow Pages and The Macomb Daily.

Midlife Vices…A Guilt-Free Musical Revue

December 18, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Four Bitchin' Babes

If you love to laugh and enjoy great songs of the Baby Boom generation, here’s a show for you. It’s “Midlife Vices…A Guilt-Free Musical Revue” starring the Four Bitchin’ Babes.

These gal pals fill the stage with luxurious harmonies and sophisticated (never blue) stand-up comedy, creating an amazing evening of raucous delight at the Macomb Center for the Performing Arts on Saturday, February 23 at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.

In “Babe” fashion, the girls use their musical wacky viewfinder to honor the quirks and habits of men and women who (like the Babes) refuse to act their age.

The Four Bitchin’ Babes are Sally Fingerett, Debi Smith, Deirdre Flint, and Marcy Marxer, an original tour de force musical comedy theatre troupe with a 20+ year career on-stage and in-studio, releasing nine recordings and a full length concert DVD. These four accomplished and seasoned musician-actress-comediennes come together taking turns in the spotlight filling it with whimsical songs and shtick, presenting the hippest and most luxurious girl group harmonies “evah!”

“Together they tell humorously observant tales of modern urban life, and harmonize like a heavenly chorus.” The Chicago Tribune

 “The BABES stir the heart as well as the funny bone.” Billboard

This “Renegade Sorority” of modern women vows to age gracefully – but refuse to go quietly. As they continue to showcase their “BABES” signature brand of estrogen-infused mayhem and award winning songwriting, they set to music their collective Mid Life Crises and the inherent need for Mid Life Vices. Tunes from the wackiest of viewfinders offer a peek into the mind of an exhausted perfectionist with “Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda,” an absolutely organized scatterbrain in “Just in Case” and a loving look at romance in “Dim the Lights.” No doubt there’ll be a song or two dedicated to the passions and misdeeds of our age, with “Orange Cocoa Cake,” “Facebook,” and “The History of Cheese.” Of course, the question remains: How can funny sound this pretty?

So with tongue in cheek, this Fabulous Female Folkestra brings you a hilarious new stage revue that musically examines the lives of the boomer generation, finding self-acceptance, grace and humor.

Spend an entertaining evening with these outrageously funny and multi-talented musician gal pals as they examine and ultimately celebrate the lives of today’s men and women as we all search for balance.

Tickets are $45 gold circle, and $40 house ($55 pit seating), seniors 55+, students and military save $5 per ticket. Purchase tickets in person at the Macomb Center box office Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. and Friday 12 – 6 p.m. The Macomb Center for the Performing Arts is located on Macomb Community College’s Center Campus at 44575 Garfield Road in Clinton Township, Michigan 48038. Tickets and additional information, including a complete season schedule, are available online at www.MacombCenter.com or by calling 586.286.2222.

The Four Bitchin’ Mid Life Vices is sponsored in part by McLaren Medical Group, Culinary Expressions Catering, C&G Newspapers and the Macomb Center’s premier sponsors for the 2012 -2013 season-The Macomb Daily and YP -the Real Yellow Pages.

The Macomb Center offers educational outreach in the arts and in partnership with the adjacent Albert L. Lorenzo Cultural Center, creates unique opportunities for multifaceted cultural programming. The Gilded Age to the Great War: America at the Turn of the Century – beginning February 23, 2013 – May 5, 2013 will allow you to discover the stories of American industrialists and the rise of philanthropy as private money supported education, health care, the arts and charities and explore the growth of social movements such as women’s suffrage and organized labor, as well as the country’s explosive population growth, fueled by immigrants seeking the American dream. Trace the emerging trends in music, theatre, literature and film, which combined new technologies and unique perspectives to reflect a nascent American culture. Learn about World War I and its roots in the imperialism, militarism and nationalism that were the byproducts of widespread industrialism.
