Summary: God decides humanity is going to end. Ian Voe Meyer, a recently deceased heart surgeon, must be the one to pull the plug. Ian will be the last soul to exist in the cycle of human reincarnation, leaving the rest of the world to fade away. To demonstrate the ugliness of humanity to Ian, God takes him through his chaotic home life, and across time and space into past lives. Will Ian challenge God’s decision or will he be the final casualty in the long line of human rebirth?

As part of THD’s Friday Forum Guest Dance Artists program, alma Collective will provide a guest master classes on Friday, January 24, 2025.

alma Collective is a Latina-led New York City based collective born from 10 years of friendship between co-directors Bianca Dam and Kat Bark. This bond is evident in their work, and creates a space where movement feels instinctive. alma’s vocabulary is athletic, intricate and focuses on musicality. alma Collective has been teaching at Broadway Dance Center for the past year, as well as hosting masterclasses and festivals. alma has been performing as a company for over a year, and has performed throughout the east coast, creating dance for all eyes, and evolving as humans with the audience. Alma is a rediscovery of our “gut'' as dancers, leading with honest sentiment.

Co-directors, Bianca and Kat, begin class with a short cardio phrase which leads into deep stretches and core exercises. The warm up portion of the class finishes with a guided improv and meditation. The second half of the class is used to learn phrase work. The movement is athletic, intricate and focuses on musicality. Bianca and Kat also encourage exploration of individual artistry within their own movement.

Looking for an opportunity to get your frustrations out at the end of the semester? Join Dr. Danielle Rosvally and Prof. Janet Werther for an introduction to stage weaponry and combat! We’ll have some fun thinking through how to tell stories that include violence both with and without props, then we’ll get an introduction to some of the prop weaponry in the UB armory.

DATE: Friday December 6, 2024
TIME: 10-11:30am
LOCATION: CFA B83, The Rehearsal Workshop

Dr. Rosvally has been performing, teaching, and choreographing stage combat for over two decades. Her work has been seen regionally (Boston, Providence, greater New England), as well as in Western New York. She is an Advanced Actor Combatant with the Society of American Fight Directors.

Please note: the armory sampling will include props that resemble realistic fi****ms. This portion of the workshop will therefore be limited to the last half-hour of our session. Participants who prefer not to encounter these objects will have the opportunity to exit the space prior to the introduction of realistic prop weapons.

For more information, contact Prof. Janet Werther, [email protected], and stay tuned for our Spring ’25 schedule of events, coming soon!

11/21/2024

Congratulations to Associate Professor Ariel Nereson, PhD, on being awarded a Research Fellowship from the American Society for Theatre Research (ASTR) to help underwrite research expenses of scholars undertaking projects significant to the field of theatre and/or performance studies.

https://arts-sciences.buffalo.edu/theatre-dance/news-and-events/recent-news.host.html/content/shared/arts-sciences/theatre-dance/news-posts/THD_FA2024_Article_Nereson_Awards.detail.html

Nereson's project Reparative Encounters: Universities, the Arts, and the Afterlives of Dispossession brings to light an often-overlooked area of research--university funding for artistic projects. Nereson's project is a robust cross-racial study of how performance paradoxically solidifies and subverts power asymmetry both through pedagogy and its own support of artistic production.
Recently Nereson also received the Sally Banes Publication Prize honoring the publication (book or essay) which best explores the intersections of theatre and dance/movement in the previous two calendar years.

Democracy Moving: Bill T. Jones, Contemporary American Performance, and the Racial Past (2022) raises the bar of dance studies research, elevating the political and public importance of the field by expertly and complexly demonstrating how dance is an integral part of US history. The book excels at a multifaceted ethically engaged form of analysis of one of the most important choreographers in American Dance and Theatre History, breathing life into the largely unexplored archive of the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company. Nereson’s rich interweaving of the complex agendas at stake and at play in the work of Bill T. Jones brings an important new context and appreciation to his intellectual and artistic contribution to American life.

The book is currently 40% OFF with FREE U.S. shipping when using the discount code UMASTR24. This offer ends 12/17/24. https://www.press.umich.edu/12084466/democracy_moving
