Frame by Frame: Finding Animation in Unexpected Places

Bey Hall Auditorium

Corrie Francis Parks brings life to the inanimate through frame-by-frame manipulation of physical materials. With one hand under the camera and the other on the computer keyboard, her films and installations maintain an organic connection to traditional production methods while fully integrating digital technology. She is Associate Professor of Visual Arts at University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). Her book, Fluid Frames: Experimental Animation with Sand, Clay, Paint and Pixels, explores the tactile nature of moving malleable materials directly under the camera, bringing together traditional and digital workflow through interviews with contemporary animators and workshop-style exercises.

Disco Inferno!, Part II

Virtual (Zoom)

Class Schedule: December 11, 16, & 18, 2025 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM

By the late 1970s, disco dominated the airwaves and conquered film, television, advertising, and fashion. Its ubiquity, however, led to an inevitable backlash in the form of Chicago’s infamous “Disco Demolition Night” event at Comiskey Park.  Did that signal the end of the genre?  Hardly—it merely changed labels, transforming its sound and becoming “House” or “Electronic Dance Music (EDM).”  In the present day, artists such as Dua Lipa, Beyoncé, and Sabrina Carpenter have incorporated the sound into their own music.

’60s Girl Groups, Part I

Virtual (Zoom)

Class Schedule: January 22, 27, & 29, 2026 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM

The 1960s may be remembered for the British Invasion, soul, and the birth of the Beatles and art rock. However, the early-to-mid 1960s is also known for its “girl groups,” trios or quartets singing Brill Building compositions and other pop.  Motown also perfected the girl group formula, with the Supremes reigning as one of the most successful and influential acts of the 1960s. Indeed, the girl group tradition continues today with Fifth Harmony, Blackpink, and many others.  However, the genre’s roots extend back even further, to the 1960s.
