The Glass Menagerie: A Performance Experiment

Bennett Kirschner ‘13 says:

Come see the culmination of Second Stage’s production of The Glass Menagerie. It’s sure to be quite a show, as the experimental rehearsal format has required each of the actors to rehearse the piece completely independently. After a month of individual rehearsals, they will perform the text for the first time together; some have not even seen each other since the show was first cast.

The objective of the experiment is to “give truth in the pleasant disguise of illusion” by bringing a piece of realism as close to reality as possible. Whether or not we accomplish our goal will be decided entirely on the night of the show.

Tickets will be available at the Usdan Box Office on Thursday.

Date: Thursday, March 4
Time: 6:00 PM (Brief Q&A With Actors Afterwards) and 10:00 PM
Place: Patricelli ‘92 Theater

    A capella-palooza!

    Its always been my personal feeling that when it comes to a capella, its all or nothing: either give me every group out there or give me death (“he just went too long without a capella, it seems”). Conveniently, my sentiments seem to be shared by many of the a capella groups here at wes!

    Film Series: “Fantastic Mr. Fox”

    FANTASTIC MR. FOX
    2009. USA. Dir: Wes Anderson. With George Clooney, Meryl Streep. Animated. 87 min.

    Capping off what may have been the best year ever for so-called “children’s films,” Anderson applies his stylish wit to this stop-motion adaptation of the Roald Dahl classic about a sly, furry swindler feuding with a trio of grotesque farmers. This immaculately detailed whirlwind adventure is as visually stunning as it is fanciful and lighthearted.

    Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) Student Working Group Forming

    From Liz Krushnic ‘10:

    Want to be involved in getting Wes the sexual violence prevention and response resources it needs?

    Here are some questions we’re trying to keep in mind, and this is why we want you: What needs do you have with regard to sexual violence? What holes to you see in Wesleyan policy, resources, awareness, etc? What programs, initiatives, speakers, etc. do we want to see? Do as many voices as possible have a say in what changes we are trying to make? Who is being talked about when we talk about sexual violence? Do you want to see more attention paid around these issues to queer folks? People with disabilities? People of color? Trans folks? Men? etc? etc?

    If you’d like to be a part of ongoing efforts to create and maintain the necessary prevention, education, and response resources for sexual violence at Wesleyan, then come to Usdan 108 on Monday 3/1 at 5:00pm. Meetings will be monthly, and the regular time will be determined by those who come. Hope to see you there! There will be tasty snacks!!!

    Please feel free to contact Liz at ekrushnic at wes with any questions, or if you’d like to be involved but can’t make this meeting.

    Thesis Performance: A Noise Like Wings

    I’m continually impressed by all my friends who are doing theses. Aside from my housemate (who is partially enrolled and therefore able to devote himself to cool side projects even as he finds the time to seduce me into re-watching all of Twin Peaks), thesis-writers manage to balance their already busy lives with the huge commitment of creating an academically creative piece to punctuate their Wesleyan careers.

    Asa Horvitz ‘10 falls into the category of over-committed creative rock stars. He spends time rehearsing with Wesleyan’s resident supergroup and creating dreamy disco revival in my housemate’s bedroom, yet he has still dedicated himself to composing and directing an original thesis for the music department. All his hard work comes to fruition this weekend: his thesis, A Noise Like Wings, will go up Zilkha gallery at 9 pm on Thursday, 10 pm on Friday, and 9 pm on Saturday.

    Asa usually involves himself in very conceptually rich performance pieces, and I’m sure that his thesis will continue the trend. He promises:

    a medieval polyphony sung by a quartet, music by the members of Duchampion set to physical action, and reoccuring dreams of forests and the flotsam and jetsam of the parcel post system. Also, a letter sent (in the shape of an eagle) to wake up a person who has forgotten who they are.

    Like I said–conceptually rich. He’s got am impressive cast of designers and performers, too. Where do they find the time to be this awesome?

    What: “A Noise Like Wings,” an original music thesis performance by Asa Horvitz
    Date/Time: Thursday, February 25 at 9 PM; Friday at 10 PM; and Saturday at 9 PM.

    Film Series: “Army of Shadows”

    ARMY OF SHADOWS
    1969. France. Dir. Jean-Pierre Melville. 145 min.

    Melville’s ode to the dogged survival of the WWII French resistance strips away the glamour and sensationalism of movies like INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS and burns with a quiet, noble intensity.  Its cool, understated approach influenced countless modern filmmakers, despite its lack of a U.S. release until an acclaimed 2006 restoration.

    Kirtan Rabbi at Wesleyan

    Micah Weiss ‘10 and Franni Paley ‘10 write:

    Reb Drew is a rabbi in the Reform movement who “weaves traditional Jewish liturgy and musical modes into the increasingly popular call-and-response chant technology from India, known as Kirtan.”

    His main vocation is to make Torah accessible, deep and fun, — to Jew and non-Jew alike — in a way that is participatory and memorable. David Leipziger Teva, Rabbi and Director of Religious and Spiritual Life at Wesleyan University, recently wrote to Rabbi Hahn, saying, “You have enlightened our community in countless ways. I am envisioning your coming back every eighteen months or so. We should not let students graduate without being exposed to your Torah.”

    Come for an afternoon and evening of “great energy, passion and melodic flow.”
