SUMMARY:Jacob Landau: Exploring the Colors
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of works exploring the world of colors created by the American artist\, humanist\, and teacher Jacob Landau. Born in Philadelphia in 1917\, Jacob Landau launched his career as an illustrator\, winning national prizes at age 16 and a scholarship to the Philadelphia College of Art. He had over sixty one-person shows and was the recipient of many awards\, including Guggenheim and National Arts Council grants. Many of his works are featured in permanent collections\, such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. A master teacher\, he retired as professor emeritus at New York’s Pratt Institute. In 1996\, he was awarded an honorary Doctorate in Fine Arts by Monmouth University. \nFor Jacob Landau “art enables us to see the world whole and undivided.” As a humanist his art was devoted to the unity of the imagination. And at its center lies Landau’s desire for justice in the world. In the current exhibit his celebration of our love of color\, shared across so many cultures\, is inseparable from his humanist conviction. Color and drawing\, Landau once declared\, are the “twin fundaments of my style.” And he has been praised by fellow artists and critics as a colorist. His dazzling palette and expressive line exhilarate us. We find ourselves transported by their exuberant life\, colors that rise up and sing for us in a work titled Flight. And yet his love affair with color does not blind him to the world of injustice. \nOn the one hand\, his red and orange and yellow\, and green and blue watercolors of gorgeous promise\, so exquisitely handled in a radically imagined portrait of Isaiah dazzle us with life. But by the same token\, Landau by these colors insists on the social justice that Isaiah declaimed. Justice\, the artist makes clear in his beautiful and unsettling riot of forms\, that he expects of us. \nUniquely\, his canvass of many colors dazzles and disturbs. His understated colors in Apocalypsis fill us with foreboding\, and he asks\, “Whose apocalypse is it anyway ours or God’s?” Just like Landau to leave us with an uncomfortable question in the language of subtle colors. At the same time\, we see a bold backdrop of brilliant yellow across the way in his Oracle 1\, dramatizing the hope that resides in the human heart. A yellow we can’t shake as we walk away. \nThe exhibition features a selection of some twenty-one works. All are from Monmouth University’s extensive collection of Jacob Landau’s work\, comprising over 300 prints\, drawings and paintings. The collection was gifted to Monmouth University in 2008 by the Jacob Landau Institute of Roosevelt\, NJ. This exhibit is co-sponsored by the Jewish Culture Studies Program and the Honors School of Monmouth University. \nDocent tours are available (for times\, contact Professor Noel Belinski 732-263-5425; email:  nbelinsk@monmouth.edu).

SUMMARY:Songwriters by the Sea
DESCRIPTION:Distinguished NJ Songwriters Joe Rapolla and Joe D’Urso are back this year hosting the celebrated Songwriters by the Sea series at the Lauren K. Woods Theatre. What once started in a small coffee shop as an area for local songwriters has now grown into a series that features some of the top songwriters in the country. This year\, the show features special guest artists Jeffrey Gaines and ERYN with an intro set by Mark Geary. The show will also feature Monmouth University student openers: Max Adolf and Kelli Misenheimer. \nThroughout his two-and-a-half-decade recording career\, Jeffrey Gaines has maintained an impressive standard for soul-searching\, introspective lyrics and catchy\, uplifting melodies. Since bursting on the scene with his self-titled 1992 debut album\, the charismatic singer-songwriter-guitarist has built a beloved body of recordings that’s won him a large and deeply devoted international fan base. Now\, after an extended absence from the recording studio\, Gaines returns with Alright\, his first Omnivore Recordings release and his first set of new studio material since 2003’s Toward the Sun. Street date is January 26\, 2018. The new album features ten irresistible examples of the Philadelphia-based artist’s personally charged songcraft\, performed with the same effortless exuberance that’s long been a hallmark of Gaines’ artful recordings and his dazzling live performances. \nEryn combines the old school sound that evokes the rhythms and recording techniques of the past with a modern pop mindset and powerhouse live performance. She is the youngest person to be inducted into the NJ/NY Blues Hall of Fame\, a BELK southern musician showcase winner\, and a multi Asbury Park Music award winner. \nSponsored by the Leon Hess Business School\nAll proceeds benefit the Music Industry Endowed Scholarship

SUMMARY:Fred Astaire’s Dancing Lessons: Queer Mentors and Monsters: Multimedia Performance by Dustin B. Goltz
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to be “part” of the queer community in 2019? Who tells you your story? Your history? Your future? This solo performance is a 70-minute multimedia\, performative examination of shifting perceptions of queer male mentorship\, LGBT aging anxieties\, and the lingering cultural threat assigned to queer sexuality. The piece is an avalanche of pop culture\, flamboyance and monstrosity—an intertextual interrogation of queer generational tensions- reclaiming a story of the monsters who refuse to die (for long)\, refuse to hide the histories their bodies carry\, and who keep surviving through wit\, camp\, irreverence\, and an ongoing commitment to the queer community. \nDustin Bradley Goltz is an Associate Professor of Performance Studies and Communication at DePaul University in Chicago. He is a scholar and performing artist whose work examines gay aging\, queer temporality\, LGBTQ media representation\, and personal narrative performance. His research has been published in over two dozen articles in journals\, which include Text & Performance Quarterly\, Critical Studies in Media Communication\, and Journal of International and Intercultural Communication. His most recent book\, Comic Performativities: Identity\, Internet Outrage\, and the Aesthetics of Communication was published by Routledge in 2017.

SUMMARY:Asperger's Are Us
DESCRIPTION:An absurdist comedy troupe who happen to be the first troupe of people with Asperger’s Syndrome. They were featured in the Duplass Brothers Productions documentary “Asperger’s Are Us” now on Netflix. They have performed over 100 original absurdist sketch shows in nine countries since 2010. \n“Audiences don’t usually know what to expect from Asperger’s Are Us\, a Boston sketch comedy troupe made up solely of artists on the autism spectrum. Will they use self-deprecating humor about life with Asperger’s syndrome? Are they hoping to shed light on a serious condition? Will they be something like Sheldon\, the socially inept character on CBS’s ‘The Big Bang Theory’? \nThe answer\, it turns out\, is none of the above. \nInstead of focusing on the condition\, the four men who make up the troupe perform skits and monologues that reflect their thoughts\, perspectives and offbeat sensibilities\, often characterized by deadpan and absurd humor… the guys are not looking for sympathy laughs or polite applause. Their show is not an autism awareness campaign\, they say. They want people to laugh simply because they’re funny.” – New York Times \nThere will be a postshow Q&A with the cast.\nFree and open to the public\, but registration is recommended.

SUMMARY:Van Gogh: Of Wheat Fields and Clouded Skies
DESCRIPTION:Take a fresh look at Van Gogh through the legacy of the greatest private collector of the Dutch artist’s work: Helene Kröller-Müller (1869-1939)\, one of the first to recognize the genius of Van Gogh. In the early 20th century\, Kröller-Müller amassed nearly 300 of Van Gogh’s paintings and drawings now housed at her namesake museum in Holland. \nThe Basilica Palladina exhibition in Vicenza\, “Amid Wheat Fields and Clouded Skies\,” with 40 paintings and 85 drawings on loan from the Kröller-Müller Museum\, lends the basis of this program\, revealing Van Gogh’s art and his genius\, while allowing audiences to understand the importance of drawing as part of his craft. \nVan Gogh’s seemingly instinctive canvases were the result of long\, preparatory studies very rarely exhibited – not just sketches but stunning works of art in and of themselves\, where the broken flow of lines that characterize the style and strokes in Van Gogh’s paintings can already be seen. \nProduced by 3D Productions and Nexo Digital

SUMMARY:The Tragedy of King Richard the Second
DESCRIPTION:Simon Russell Beale plays William Shakespeare’s Richard II\, broadcast live from the stage of the Almeida Theatre in London. This visceral new production about the limits of power will be directed by Joe Hill-Gibbins\, whose previous plays include Little Revolution at the Almeida and Absolute Hell at the National Theatre. \nRichard II\, King of England\, is irresponsible\, foolish and vain. His weak leadership sends his kingdom into disarray and his court into uproar. Seeing no other option but to seize power\, the ambitious Bolingbroke challenges the throne and the king’s divine right to rule. Simon Russell Beale returns to National Theatre Live screens following broadcasts of Timon of Athens and King Lear\, and his recent role in the National Theatre’s critically acclaimed production of The Lehman Trilogy.

SUMMARY:From Rock and Roll to Recovery and Everything In Between with Ricky Byrd
DESCRIPTION:Ricky Byrd is first and foremost – a man living in long term recovery. He also happens to be part of rock ‘n roll royalty. He is a well-recognized musician who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as the lead guitarist and former original member of Joan Jett and The Blackhearts. Ricky played with Joan from 1981-1992\, and has also recorded or toured with Roger Daltrey\, Ian Hunter\, Southside Johnny and many other talented musicians since that time. \nRicky most recently has been combining his love for music with his passion and mission to help carry the torch of change surrounding the stigma of drug and alcohol use. He hopes to break down the barriers and spread the message of hope\, education\, awareness and addiction resources to his audiences. Using the healing powers of music as a touchstone\, Ricky likes to motivate those early in recovery or still struggling\, along with their family members. Whether it’s through his various speaking appearances\, concert events\, music outreach sessions\, small recovery music groups\, or prevention programs\, Ricky is dedicated to inspiring change. \nAs a songwriter\, who now often focuses on recovery lyrics\, Ricky moves people to laugh\, cry and think. He’s played his songs in the most intimate of rooms as well as to hundreds of thousands all over the world. He recognizes the power of the word and the music and often combines both into a message of hope and encouragement for sobriety. \nRicky can contribute to an event by sharing famous rock ‘n roll stories in a keynote address or by performing recovery music from his latest CD\, Clean Getaway. There is also a special place in his heart for smaller group settings where he can play acoustic guitar and clearly see the faces\, tears\, smiles and struggles up close. Ricky feels that music therapy and the open discussion that follows can lead broken souls to find that little bit of happiness – and encouragement they need to move forward. \nHe presents on the benefits of a sober lifestyle and likes talking to youth\, who are at that age\, where pressures and experimenting can often lead them down a crooked and deadly path. Ricky takes pride in also educating those individuals  in our communities that are somehow unaware and uninformed of the deadly drug and alcohol pandemic we are facing in this country. \nIn 2017\, Ricky received the Drug Free Heroes Award\, presented by Foundation For a Drug free World. He is proud to help others find a message and purpose to getting clean and sober. \nCosponsored by: Monmouth University’s Office of Substance Awareness\, Students in Recovery\, Student Activities Board\, The Music and Theatre Department\nFREE and OPEN to the public\, but registration is recommended.
