SUMMARY:Tristan und Isolde
DESCRIPTION:Please note that this Metropolitan Opera event will start at 12pm.  \nAfter years of anticipation\, a truly unmissable event arrives at Pollak Theatre on March 21 as the electrifying Lise Davidsen tackles one of the ultimate roles for dramatic soprano: the Irish princess Isolde in Wagner’s transcendent meditation on love and death. Heroic tenor Michael Spyres stars opposite Davidsen as the love-drunk Tristan. The momentous occasion also marks the advent of a new\, Met-debut staging by Yuval Sharon—hailed by The New York Times as “the most visionary opera director of his generation” and the first American to direct an opera at the famed Wagner festival in Bayreuth—as well as Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin’s first time leading Tristan und Isolde at the Met. Mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova reprises her portrayal of Brangäne\, alongside bass-baritone Tomasz Konieczny\, who sings Kurwenal after celebrated Met appearances in Wagner’s Der Fliegende Holländer and Ring cycle. Bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green makes an important role debut as King Market.

SUMMARY:Comedic Improv with Michael O'Keeffe
DESCRIPTION:Location: Pollak Gallery\n\nComedic improvisation is the true playground of the theatre! Students gain confidence while acquiring skills that allow them to create scenes and stories using nothing but their imaginations and each other – all completely on-the-spot! \n\nThere are some fascinating opposites inherent in improvisation: \n\n• In order to look good you must make others look good. \n• In order to be safe you must take risks. \n• To be self reliant you must trust others. \nTo be able to succeed you must be willing to fail good-naturedly.\n\nWe will explore these concepts along with others\, including teamwork\, focus\, concentration\, mistakes as gifts\, relaxation\, being changed\, listening/observing\, re-incorporation\, comedic timing\, etc.\, etc.\, etc… \n\nWe will be doing structured exercises and games (just like “Whose Line is it Anyway?”)  as a whole group as well as in pairs and trios. We will work on going with our first idea while supporting our partner’s ideas. We will practice trusting our instincts and taking risks in a safe\, fun and playful atmosphere.
