SUMMARY:Ballet Hispánico
DESCRIPTION:Ballet Hispánico is the nation’s renowned Latino dance organization and one of America’s Cultural Treasures. For 50 years Ballet Hispánico has been bringing communities together to celebrate and explore Latino cultures through innovative dance performances\, transformative dance training\, and enduring community engagement experiences. The organization’s founder\, National Medal of Arts recipient Tina Ramirez\, sought to give voice to the Hispanic experience and break through stereotypes. Today\, Ballet Hispánico is led by Eduardo Vilaro\, an acclaimed choreographer and former member of the Company\, whose vision of social equity\, cultural identity\, and quality arts education for all drives its programs. \n \nThe evening’s program will include: \nClub Havana\nChoreographer Pedro Ruiz\, a native of Cuba\, brings the intoxicating rhythms of conga\, rumba\, mambo\, and cha cha to life in “Club Havana.” Set to a fusion of Cuban\, jazz\, and big-band swing music\, this performance promises to be a silky\, sexy joy. \nNew Sleep (Duet)\nChoreographed by William Forsythe\, “New Sleep (Duet)” offers a unique and inventive dance movement based on balletic axioms. Forsythe’s work reorients ballet as a dynamic 21st-century art form\, pushing the boundaries of dance. \nLínea Recta\nFrom choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa comes “Línea Recta\,” a powerful and resonant work that explores the absence of physical partnering in flamenco dance. While maintaining the genre’s hallmark passion\, Lopez Ochoa’s piece offers an original and explosive movement language performed to flamenco guitar by Eric Vaarzon Morel.

SUMMARY:TITIAN: THE EMPIRE OF COLOR
DESCRIPTION:Winning over popes and emperors with his iconic\, revolutionary works Titian succeeded in becoming one of the artists that symbolized the entire Renaissance. \nTitian was an extraordinary master of color and a brilliant entrepreneur\, innovative both in a painting’s composition but also in how to sell it. In only a few years\, Tiziano Vecellio became the official painter of Venice and the utmost artist sought after by the richest and most influential Courts in Europe. \nFrom Ferrara to Urbino\, from Mantua to Rome\, up to the Spain of Carlos V and his son Felipe II\, Titian crossed his century illuminating it with his works of art\, inspiring future generations of artists. Perfect interpreter of religion and mythology\, portrayer of immediate expressive strength\, he dominated his time outshining his contemporaries\, always abiding by his motto: ‘Art is more powerful than Nature’. \nSpecial guest: Jeff Koons\nEstimated runtime: 88 minutes  \n

SUMMARY:The Mind and Music of George Gershwin - Live Concert Lecture by Dr. Richard Kogan
DESCRIPTION:Listening to the deft integration of jazz rhythms and classical music in Rhapsody in Blue or the often-wrenching songs of Porgy and Bess\, it’s jarring to think of their composer as a troubled youth\, a juvenile delinquent\, petty thief and high school dropout who\, in a latter era\, might have been prescribed a hefty dose of Ritalin or Adderall. But George Gershwin was saved by a school violin recital he’d tried to avoid attending – and it opened a door that allowed him to escape the predictable ignominy of a bad boy on the streets of Brooklyn. He was\, then\, a person reached – and made better – by music. \nDr. Richard Kogan joins us to discuss the life\, psyche and music of one of America’s greatest composers during an evening that integrates masterful piano playing\, humor and insight into the close links between music\, healing and genius. Trained in piano at Juilliard and in psychiatry at Harvard Medical School\, Dr. Kogan is Clinical Professor of Psychiatry\, Co-Director of the Human Sexuality Program at Weill Cornell Medical Center and Artistic Director of the Music and Medicine program. He also maintains a private practice in New York City.

SUMMARY:We are the Best
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Lukas Moodysson\nSweden\, 2014 \nWe Are the Best! is a story of three young misfit girls growing up in the early ‘80s Stockholm. Pixieish\, mohawk-sporting Klara and her best friend Bobo are 13-year-old rebels looking for a cause. Despite having no instruments—or discernible musical talent—the two put all their energy into forming an all-girl punk band\, recruiting their shy\, classical guitar-playing schoolmate Hedwig as a third wheel. With tender affection for its young characters\, We Are the Best! paints a joyous and sharply observant portrait of the rebellious spirit of youth and growing up different. \nThere will be a post screening Q&A hosted by Professor Mihaela Moscaliuc with special guest speaker Prof. Joe Rapolla.

SUMMARY:Inviting Motion  (Sabbatical project Wobbe F. Koning)
DESCRIPTION:Inviting Motion\nBe invited by motion. What will you give up by giving in? \nInviting Motion is an interactive Virtual Reality (VR) experience with themes of enticing\, luring\, attention grabbing\, and having to give something up when we give into attractions. \nTalk: 11:45am-12:30pm | The Great Hall Auditorium\nDemo: Experience Inviting Motion – 12:35pm-1:30pm & 2:50pm-4:30pm | Demo: IDM Lab (Plangere 135)\n\nThe Experience \nAfter going through a simple onboarding process to calibrate and tweak the experience\, you\, the user\, are initially tasked with finding a human form in the noise of particles that surround you. After your attention is grabbed\, you will be invited\, and then teased a little. You can enjoy exploring the interactions\, but what are you giving away? Are you being scrutinized? \nThe experience generally last about 5 to 10 minutes \nAbout the Project \nAs part of his Sabbatical from Monmouth University\, Wobbe F. Koning returned to his alma mater The Ohio State University and worked with the community at the Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design (ACCAD) to produce this VR experience. Motion Capture was used to create the attention grabbing and inviting motions\, which are sparsely represented (using a limited amount of points) but are still instantly recognizable as human. \nThe project was a collaboration\, and took shape as a result of the interactions with the ACCAD community. \nBios:\nWobbe F. Koning is an award winning animator and digital artist often combining 3D Computer Animation and video with audio to create mostly linear single channel works. Next to creating 3D printed stop motion animations\, he has been exploring Virtual Reality (VR) as a medium\, experimenting with different approaches while relying on his experience as filmmaker. Though not in his nature\, he has been letting go of the total control the creator has over linear storytelling\, and in stead embraced the interactive nature of VR. \nEarlier work includes on-stage videos for dance performances\, and multi screen installations. At Monmouth University he teaches animation in the Department of Art & Design. \nRaven Serenity Glover received their bachelors degree in Simulation\, Animation\, and Gaming at Eastern Michigan University. There\, they gained skills in 3D animation and character modeling. In their undergraduate research symposium project\, Dynamic Storytelling with Animation\, Raven Serenity explored the potential advantages animation has over traditional filmmaking in telling dynamic narratives. As part of the MFA program in Digital Animation and Interactive Media at The Ohio State University\, Raven Serenity hopes to further expand the utilization of animation to promote self-awareness and self-expression.

SUMMARY:BORROMINI AND BERNINI: THE CHALLENGE FOR PERFECTION
DESCRIPTION:A journey into the great beauty of Baroque Rome\, when the city was the centre of western art and where every ambitious painter\, sculptor and architect had to be. \nThis is the story of the most famous artistic rivalry of all time\, the one between Borromini and Bernini\, but also the story of Borromini’s rivalry with himself: a genius so absorbed by his art that he turns it into a demon that devours him from the inside forcing him to choose death to reach eternity. \nBorromini deprived himself of everything to pursue a dream: to conquer Rome. It is the story of the architectural revolution of a solitary maestro who changed the appearance of Rome forever\, by pushing himself to his limit\, but also by battling conventions and prejudices\, with the humility to learn from the past to invent the future\, with the courage to pursue an idea despite knowing he would pay the price in the end. \nEstimated runtime: 102 minutes
