SUMMARY:SUSAN AMONS: WILD SIDE Maine Monoprints
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: February 11 from 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. | Wilson Hall Auditorium\nOpening Reception: Thursday February 11\, from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m.\nFree and open to the public \nSusan Amons lives on a rare and beautiful peninsula in southern Maine. The estuary forms the western boundary\, and the ocean stretches out to the east. Every day\, Susan observes unusual birds and animals living in this preserved pocket of wildlife habitat. Marsh hawks\, eagles\, ibis\, geese\, mink\, and fisher cats\, are some of the species included in her repertoire of study. In late summer\, Susan camps in the solitude of the north woods. The lake supports it’s own unique selection of species including; salmon\, trout\, moose\, otter\, and loons. Susan loves to sit on a rock in the stream and paint. \nEach winter\, Susan returns to the studio to work on large-scale prints inspired by images that she records from nature throughout the year. To develop her monoprints\, she creates a group of mylar shapes which she inks\, prints\, and re-inks; building up color layers and altering spatial relationships. A series of related work evolves from the printed collection of cut out shapes. What Susan enjoys most about this process\, is that she is able to pursue multiple variations of her original idea. Susan’s final prints are multiple and varied\, brilliantly frontal\, or receding in space like the animals themselves\, a memory\, mysterious\, and wild by nature. \nSusan Amons holds a BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art\, and has received 21 artists’ fellowships from the Vermont Studio Center\, The Women’s Studio Workshop in New York\, and the Heliker-LaHotan Foundation in Maine. Susan is a member of the prestigious Peregrine Press in Maine\, and the venerable National Association of Women Artists in New York. Her work was chosen for the acclaimed exhibit\, “Maine Women Pioneers”\, at the University of New England in 2013. Her two recent solo exhibits include; “Natural Vision”\, at the Liriodendron Mansion in Maryland\, 2014\, and “Tidal Edge”\, at The Courthouse Gallery\, in Ellsworth\, Maine\, 2015. \nSusan Amons is represented by numerous galleries on the east coast. Her work is included in many public collections including; The Portland Museum of Art and The Farnsworth Art Museum in Maine\, The New York and Boston Public Libraries\, The Indiana University Library\, The University of New England Art Gallery\, Colby\, Bates\, and Bowdoin College Collections in Maine\, and the Zimmerli Museum Collection at Rutgers University in New Jersey. \nFor more information\, please see susanamons.com

SUMMARY:Ethel with Robert Mirabal
DESCRIPTION:Continuing a deeply successful six-year collaboration inspired by ceremonies dedicated to the Sun\, ETHEL and Robert Mirabal\, Native American musician\, instrument builder and three time GRAMMY® Award winner present their next evolution of the cross-cultural concert experience. The inspiration this time is Water as the embodiment of Spirit\, and its essential role in Life on Earth. The audience is immersed in a flow of music\, narrative\, and ritual\, that evokes timeless Native American traditions through contemporary musical artistry. As delivered by these master performers\, the effect is breathtaking\, even ecstatic. To complement the music created by ETHEL and Mirabal exclusively for this program\, ETHEL will also perform part of Gabriela Lena Frank’s epic Andean Walkabout and Phil Kline’s gorgeous The River.  \n“Indefatigable and eclectic” (The New York Times)\, “vital and brilliant” (The New Yorker)\, at the heart of ETHEL is a collaborative ethos—a quest for a common creative expression forged in the celebration of community.  \nA Native American “Renaissance man”—musician\, composer\, painter\, master craftsman\, poet\, actor\, screenwriter\, horseman and farmer—Mirabal travels extensively throughout the world\, offering “exquisitely nuanced flute playing” (The New York Times) and creating music that honors the spirits of the earth. \nMore information at: http://www.ethelcentral.org/

SUMMARY:Visiting Writer: Jane Hirshfield
DESCRIPTION:Jane Hirshfield’s poetry speaks to the central issues of human existence—desire and loss\, impermanence and beauty\, the many dimensions of our connection with others and the wider community of creatures and objects with which we share our lives. Demonstrating with quiet authority what it means to awaken into the full capacities of attention\, her work sets forth a hard-won affirmation of our human fate. Described by The New York Times as “radiant and passionate” and by other reviewers as “ethically aware\,” “insightful and eloquent\,” and as conveying “succinct wisdom\,” her subjects range from the metaphysical and passionate to the political\, ecological\, and scientific to subtle unfoldings of daily life and experience. Her book of essays on the “mind of poetry” and her several collections presenting and co-translating the work of poets from the past have become classics in their fields. An intimate\, profound\, and generous master of her art\, Hirshfield has taught at UC Berkeley\, Duke University\, Bennington College\, and elsewhere\, and her many appearances at writers’ conferences and literary festivals in this country and abroad have been highly acclaimed. \nJane Hirshfield is the author of eight collections of poetry\, including the newly published The Beauty (Knopf\, 2015); Come\, Thief; After (shortlisted for England’s T.S. Eliot Prize and named a “best book of 2006” by the Washington Post\, the San Francisco Chronicle\, and the London Financial Times); Given Sugar\, Given Salt (finalist for the 2001 National Book Critics Circle Award); The Lives of the Heart; and The October Palace\, as well as two  books of essays\, the newly published Ten Windows: How Great Poems Transform the World (Knopf\, 2015) and Nine Gates: Entering the Mind of Poetry. She has also edited and co-translated four books containing the work of poets from the past: The Ink Dark Moon: Love Poems by Komachi & Shikibu\, Women of the Ancient Japanese Court; Women in Praise of the Sacred: 43 Centuries of Spiritual Poetry by Women; Mirabai: Ecstatic Poems; and The Heart of Haiku\, on Matsuo Basho\, named an Amazon Best Book of 2011. \nHirshfield’s other honors include The Poetry Center Book Award; fellowships from the Guggenheim and Rockefeller Foundations\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the Academy of American Poets; Columbia University’s Translation Center Award; and (both twice) The California Book Award and the Northern California Book Reviewers Award. In 2012 she was received the Donald Hall-Jane Kenyon Prize in American Poetry. \nHirshfield’s work has appeared in The New Yorker\, The Atlantic\, The Times Literary Supplement\, Harper’s\, The Nation\, Orion\, The American Poetry Review\, Poetry\, eight editions of The Best American Poetry\, five Pushcart Prize Anthologies\, and many other publications.  Her work frequently appears on Garrison Keillor’s “Writers Almanac” program and she has been featured in two Bill Moyers PBS television specials. In fall 2004\, Jane Hirshfield was awarded the 70th Academy Fellowship for distinguished poetic achievement by The Academy of American Poets\, an honor formerly held by such poets as Robert Frost\, Ezra Pound\, William Carlos Williams\, and Elizabeth Bishop. In 2012\, she was elected a Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets.

SUMMARY:Bolshoi Ballet: Spartacus (Broadcast Live in HD)
DESCRIPTION:Music Aram KachaturianChoreography Yuri Grigorovich \n In ancient Rome\, Spartacus\, a Thracian king\, is turned captive by Crassus with his wife Phrygia. Forced to fight as a gladiator and kill one of his friends\, Spartacus plots an unprecedented upheaval. Grigorovich’s Spartacus was created at the Bolshoi in 1968 and has since remained the Russian company’s signature ballet. This most spectacular production is an epic tour de force\, giving full expression to the virility and strength for which the Bolshoi’s male dancers are renowned. Principal dancer Mikhail Lobukhin is stunning in the role of the legendary gladiator\, along with Svetlana Zakharova as Aegina and Vladislav Lantratov as Crassus.
