Great for families! From the foot stompin’ hoedown to the last amen, Pioneer Legacy inspires and entertains, so, bring the kids and be prepared to laugh, cry, and feel the spirit of the Pioneers,” suggests Lynne Thompson, Pioneer Legacy author and creator.
The emotion and drama of the Mormon trek comes to life as the story of pioneers, George and Elizabeth Fox, unfolds. Distraught over the loss of her tiny baby, Elizabeth hears his cries in her mind and becomes lost as she goes to comfort him. After 50 men spend two days searching and her footprints are discovered near the Green River she is presumed drowned. Her husband reluctantly, takes their three children on to Salt Lake, writing messages on the rocks along the way for people to look for her.
“Elizabeth’s story brings a tear to your eye and a smile to your face as the pioneer spirit moves front and center,” says Thompson. “The faith promoting love story is told through music, dance and drama with the professional Legacy Dance Theater Company performing along with children from the Green River area giving the show a touch of home,”
“I can feel this story in my bones,” says Shannon Otte, the show director and author of the narration that reflects George’s dilemma: should he continue searching for his wife on the plains of Wyoming or take their three children on to Salt Lake.
The original score, written by David Thompson, features vocalist Katie Thompson (Forgotten Carols, Safe Harbors, So You Think You Can Dance, Giant, Wash D.C.)

Script and Lyrics by Mo Willems
Music by Michael Silversher
Directed by Rosemary Newcott
It sounds so simple, just a quick trip to the Laundromat with Daddy, Trixie, and her beloved Knuffle Bunny. But, before you know it things go horribly, hilariously wrong. Chock full of adventure, song, and gigantic dancing laundry, Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Musical tells a tale of firsts: a stuffed animal’s first trip in the laundry, a little girl’s first words, and a Daddy’s first time dealing with his child going “boneless.” Based on his beloved Caldecott Honor–winning picture book, six-time Emmy Award winner Mo Willems joins Grammy Award®–winning composer Michael Silversher to lovingly celebrate the heart and heartache that can only come from a family visit to the local Laundromat. We mentioned the giant dancing laundry, right?
Kennedy Center National Tour: this is the only place to see it in Utah. Catch it here, close to home!
HELP A CHILD!
Bring a NEW stuffed animal donation to the Monday night show, and you'll be entered in a drawing for a Knuffle Bunny plush toy! Donations will go to help children in need at the Center for Women and Children in Crisis.

Honeymoon
A romance between abstraction and representation
Contemporary paintings by Kristin Calabrese and Joshua Aster
Salt Lake City, Utah –Salt Lake Art Center presents Honeymoon, a harmonious marriage of opposites featuring paintings by newlyweds Kristin Calabrese and Joshua Aster, two internationally recognized, Los Angeles-based contemporary artists. Honeymoon will run November 5, 2010 through January 15, 2011, at Salt Lake Art Center. Public programming includes an hour-long artist lecture by Calabrese and Aster on November 5 at 7:00 PM.
Micol Hebron, Senior Curator, explains, “Calabrese and Aster are both consummate painters – deeply invested in the language of contemporary painting. Though aesthetically unique, each artist approaches their paintings with such joy and passion, this show promises to be a stimulating and thought-provoking experience for new and returning visitors.”
Calabrese says “I think of my paintings as angry, funny, truth-telling, painful, and also like fake sculpture. Josh, in his paintings, is always trying to find a way to get from one side of the canvas to another.”
This exhibition celebrates a passionate fusion of two diverse artistic minds: Aster's works explore formal abstraction while Calabrese creates paintings that are illusionistic and inspired by her immediate surroundings. Though her subject matter differs from traditional landscapes and portraiture (for example, a grungy alleyway, the artist in a corner wielding a knife), Calabrese's paintings comprise a visual and psychological tour-de-force that explores concerns common to painters with regard to addressing illusion, depth, figure, metaphor, and emotion." Calabrese’s work addresses her own perspective and life as an artist who is immersed in the realm of painting during every moment of each day.
Joshua Aster’s abstract paintings provide a dynamic complement to Calabrese’s paintings. At once playful and academic, Aster deftly uses acrylic, ink, water, canvas and denim to explore, through manipulations of the fundamental elements of painting (including canvas, color, gesture and texture) what makes a painting a painting. Inspired by music, cinema, language, and more, Aster’s paintings function like jazz improvisations as they reveal curious and exuberant variations on themes taken from the structures of painting itself.
Calabrese says “I think of my paintings as angry, funny, truth-telling, painful, and also like fake sculpture. Josh, in his paintings, is always trying to find a way to get from one side of the canvas to another.”
Together, the works of Calabrese and Aster provide an exciting window into the very diverse range of practice in the world of contemporary painting and give the visitor an opportunity to explore not only differences in style, but also the shared concerns of these two great artists.
Salt Lake Art Center is proud to premiere poptart, a concurrent exhibition of new video works by Joshua Aster that will be on view in the foyer.

Haunted Orchestra: Fire and Ice @ U of U Philharmonia (SLC: Oct 29 - 30)
The Utah Philharmonia Presents “Haunted Orchestra: Fire and Ice”
The acclaimed University of Utah Philharmonia is gearing up for one of the School of Music’s most popular events of the year by doing much more than just practicing their repertoire. The normally refined and uniformly dressed orchestra is preparing to transform into a ghoulish group of creatures and characters for the much-anticipated Halloween concert themed “Haunted Orchestra: Fire and Ice.”
With a program of recognizable and impressive works accompanied by dancers from the U of U Ballet Department and singers from the U of U Lyric Opera Ensemble, this concert is sure to be a crowd-pleaser for music enthusiasts and trick-or-treaters alike. The Philharmonia will present a Friday evening show on Oct. 29 at 7:30 p.m. at Libby Gardner Concert Hall and a matinee show on Saturday, Oct. 30 at 2 p.m. in Libby, which leaves plenty of time for kids’ parties and trick-or-treating in the afternoon and evening.
After the success of last year’s kids costume parade throughout the concert hall accompanied by the orchestra, the tradition will continue for both performances. Little monsters, princesses and costumed kids are welcomed to show off their costumes by joining the parade.
This spooky and stunning concert will include De Falla’s “Ritual Fire Dance,” Prokofiev’s “Battle on the Ice” from “Alexander Nevsky,” Boccherini’s “La Casa del Diavolo,” Wendell’s “Ride of the Headless Horseman,” Sondheim’s “Ballad of Sweeney Todd” and more. The 95-member haunted orchestra will be conducted by the always-impressively-costumed Dr. Robert Baldwin, whose costume is kept top secret until the show, and graduate student conductors who will also be dressed in their Halloween best.
“This is such a popular concert each year because it breaks down the barriers of what a concert is expected to be,” says Baldwin, who directs the Philharmonia and currently serves as interim director of the School of Music. “People can come as they are, children are welcomed, and we all let our hair down – maybe literally in this case!”
Tickets to this event can be purchased by going to kingsburyhall.org > or by calling 801-581-7100. Tickets are $7 general admission and $3 for students of any age. Learn more about the Utah Philharmonia at http://music.utah.edu/ensembles/orchestra .

Please join us to experience a dance concert bursting with energy and passion with new works and celebrated pieces. Performing Dance Company is known for offering a wide range of choreography twice a year. This fall’s program, Soaring to New Heights, features works by Abby Fiat, Sharee Lane, Juan Carlos Claudio, Emily Terndrup, Patrick Barnes, and Stevan Novakovich. It will also highlight a special collaboration between the Department of Modern Dance and Ballet West performing together in ‘The Line,’ a high energy, athletic work choreographed by Belgian choreographer Marc Bogaerts.
In Matters of the Heart (premiere), Professor Abby Fiat explores relationships in this quintet about connection, struggle, awareness, and awakening. A central theme throughout the piece is the working of the heart- as it quickens, stills, melts, pulsates, flutters, cracks, and breaks. Dancing to the music of Takagi Masakatsu, the performers reveal their individual and collective renderings of what it feels like to be human.
Associate Professor and PDC co-director Sharee Lane premieres a work titled Song of Sentient Beings, with music from Arvo Pärt. She says of the work, “The music of Arvo Pärt contained a message which appealed to my deepest spiritual needs. The textures and patterns within the music inspired the movements. Through out the mystical journey is the sustenance of breath.”
The concert also features an evocative work from Associate Instructor Juan Carlos Claudio titled Blackmail (premiere). The choreography is inspired by a three-week visit to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, Israel. “My experience was profound at many levels,” Claudio explains. “I wanted to make a work that had to do with the body as a discourse in a system of body politics (pleasure, abjection, contamination, subordination, and persuasion). The work is aggressive in nature, virtuosic and extremely athletic.”
The Line, which premiered in 2007 in Berlin, Germany, is brought to the Hayes Christensen stage by Sharee Lane and features students from the Department of Modern Dance and members from the Ballet West Academy Trainee Program. Choreographed by Marc Bogaerts on the Berlin State Ballet School, The Line is lively and vigorous drawing from Bogearts rich history of professional dance work with the Royal Ballet of Flanders and Merce Cunningham, Trisha Brown and Laura Dean in the United States. From New York City, he moved to Berlin, Germany, where he was the only choreographer to work in all three opera houses in Berlin: Deutsche Oper Berlin, Staatsoper Unter den Linden, and the Komische Oper Berlin.
Where Your Body Lies (2009), choreographed and performed by Department of Modern Dance students Emily Terndrup and Patrick Barnes, is a beautiful duet that explores the ideas of territory and desire – examining what we give and what we take away from our most intimate relationships. A stunning work that shone at the Northwest Regional Conference, Where Your Body Lies was chosen to go to the National Festival representing the Department of Modern Dance at the University of Utah. The American College Dance Festival Association (ACDFA) awarded Emily Terndrup the ADCFA/Dance Magazine Outstanding Student Performer Award for her performance in the piece at the 2010 festival at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C.
Rounding out the evening is a new work from guest artist Stevan Novakovich titled Image Junky with inspiration from William S. Burroughs. “Image Junky explores the influence and fragmentation of text and visual images, and offers yet another observational work of art to be viewed, judged, rejected, accepted or perhaps made into a conversational piece,” Novakovich says. “Everything belongs and is up for grabs to the dedicated thief: the artists, who uses all that he can, not to become original, but simply to make his own creative mark.”
Performances are held at the Hayes-Christensen Theater at the Marriott Center for Dance (U of U campus, 330 South 1500 East, Salt Lake City, just west of the Marriott Library), on October 21-23, 28-30 2010. Thursday performances begin at 5:30 with 2 for 1 tickets for students, faculty and staff, and Friday Saturday performances at 7:30pm. Student tickets are $7 each, and general admission is $10. Tickets are available through the Kingsbury Hall Ticket office at 801.581.7100, online at www.kingtix.com or at the Marriott Center for Dance box office one hour prior to the performance.

This fall’s program, Soaring to New Heights, features works by Abby Fiat, Sharee Lane, Juan Carlos Claudio, Emily Terndrup, Patrick Barnes, and Stevan Novakovich. It will also highlight a special collaboration between the Department of Modern Dance and Ballet West performing together in ‘The Line,’ a high energy, athletic work choreographed by Belgian choreographer Marc Bogaerts.
In Matters of the Heart (premiere), Professor Abby Fiat explores relationships in this quintet about connection, struggle, awareness, and awakening. A central theme throughout the piece is the working of the heart- as it quickens, stills, melts, pulsates, flutters, cracks, and breaks. Dancing to the music of Takagi Masakatsu, the performers reveal their individual and collective renderings of what it feels like to be human.
Associate Professor and PDC co-director Sharee Lane premieres a work titled Song of Sentient Beings, with music from Arvo Pärt. She says of the work, “The music of Arvo Pärt contained a message which appealed to my deepest spiritual needs. The textures and patterns within the music inspired the movements. Through out the mystical journey is the sustenance of breath.”
The concert also features an evocative work from Associate Instructor Juan Carlos Claudio titled Blackmail (premiere). The choreography is inspired by a three-week visit to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, Israel. “My experience was profound at many levels,” Claudio explains. “I wanted to make a work that had to do with the body as a discourse in a system of body politics (pleasure, abjection, contamination, subordination, and persuasion). The work is aggressive in nature, virtuosic and extremely athletic.”
The Line, which premiered in 2007 in Berlin, Germany, is brought to the Hayes Christensen stage by Sharee Lane and features students from the Department of Modern Dance and members from the Ballet West Academy Trainee Program. Choreographed by Marc Bogaerts on the Berlin State Ballet School, The Line is lively and vigorous drawing from Bogearts rich history of professional dance work with the Royal Ballet of Flanders and Merce Cunningham, Trisha Brown and Laura Dean in the United States. From New York City, he moved to Berlin, Germany, where he was the only choreographer to work in all three opera houses in Berlin: Deutsche Oper Berlin, Staatsoper Unter den Linden, and the Komische Oper Berlin.
Where Your Body Lies (2009), choreographed and performed by Department of Modern Dance students Emily Terndrup and Patrick Barnes, is a beautiful duet that explores the ideas of territory and desire – examining what we give and what we take away from our most intimate relationships. A stunning work that shone at the Northwest Regional Conference, Where Your Body Lies was chosen to go to the National Festival representing the Department of Modern Dance at the University of Utah. The American College Dance Festival Association (ACDFA) awarded Emily Terndrup the ADCFA/Dance Magazine Outstanding Student Performer Award for her performance in the piece at the 2010 festival at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C.
Rounding out the evening is a new work from guest artist Stevan Novakovich titled Image Junky with inspiration from William S. Burroughs. “Image Junky explores the influence and fragmentation of text and visual images, and offers yet another observational work of art to be viewed, judged, rejected, accepted or perhaps made into a conversational piece,” Novakovich says. “Everything belongs and is up for grabs to the dedicated thief: the artists, who uses all that he can, not to become original, but simply to make his own creative mark.”
Performances are held at the Hayes-Christensen Theater at the Marriott Center for Dance (U of U campus, 330 South 1500 East, Salt Lake City, just west of the Marriott Library), on October 21-23, 28-30 2010. Thursday performances begin at 5:30 with 2 for 1 tickets for students, faculty and staff, and Friday Saturday performances at 7:30pm. Student tickets are $7 each, and general admission is $10. Tickets are available through the Kingsbury Hall Ticket office at 801.581.7100, online at www.kingtix.com

"Boom" @ SLAC (SLC: Nov 5 - Dec 5)
Salt Lake Acting Company News Release
PRESS CONTACT: CYNTHIA FLEMING. 801 363 7522. CYNTHIA@SALTLAKEACTINGCOMPANY.ORG
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE.
SALT LAKE ACTING COMPANY PRESENTS ‘boom’ BY PETER SINN NACHTRIEB, DIRECTED BY ROBIN WILKS-DUNN.
“‘The Boom.’ It’s not just about a loud noise. It’s the event: a sudden, radical change in the state of things.” – Barbara, boom.
Salt Lake Acting Company is excited to present boom by Peter Sinn Nachtrieb, directed by Robin Wilks-Dunn. boom opens November 3 and runs through December 5, 2010 in SLAC’s intimate Chapel Theatre.
A quirky, sci-fi, not-so-romantic comedy, boom follows Jo, a female journalism student, and Jules, a male marine biologist, on what appears to be an erotic “casual encounter.” But there's nothing casual whatsoever about this particular evening. Will meaningless sex have meaning? What's going on in the fish tank? And who is that woman, Barbara, pulling levers in the corner? Something is about to explode.
SLAC Executive Producer Keven Myhre says: “I’ve wanted SLAC to produce boom since I first read it in 2008. I am thrilled that this eccentric comedy is a part of our 40th season.”
Director Robin Wilks-Dunn says: “When I first read boom, it was the comedy and the physicality that struck me, but it was the second time through that I fell in love with the way that Peter [Sinn Nachtrieb, playwright] goes about asking the bigger questions in a comedic way – because I think boom does ask the bigger questions.”
Playwright Peter Sinn Nachtrieb says: “I’ve always been interested in biology. The story of evolution is fascinating to me and how complicated things change over time. And I love writing comedy. I think everything I’ve written so far is generally funny – with ranging bits of darkness in it. I have a background in sketch comedy and I’m interested in that way of getting people entertained and laughing, which allows you to be very visceral with an audience and very intimate with an audience and approach deeper, more profound questions.”
The cast for boom features Emily Burnworth as Jo, David Fetzer as Jules, and Holly Fowers as Barbara.
boom was premiered at Ars Nova in New York and has since been produced at Woolly Mammoth in Washington DC, Seattle Rep, and Cleveland Public Theatre.
