Film Screening of American Son!

A Q&A debrief will follow the screening of the film. Dinner will also be provided.

Kaleido - Spring Dance Concert

The Department of Dance at Case Western Reserve University will continue the 2019-2020 season with Kaleido, a thesis concert featuring works by Master of Fine Arts candidates Brandon Gregoire and Yuting Zhao and Master of Arts candidate Joseph Teeter. Performance dates and times are March 26 - 28 at 8:00 p.m. and March 29 at 2:30 p.m. All performances are at Mather Dance Center, 11201 Bellflower Road, on the Case Western Reserve campus in University Circle. Down and Through, restaged for five male dancers, is a work by Gregoire that explores one’s experience with pain, grief, and emotional boundaries. The dancers personify this experience through their bodily contact, struggling against the barriers until there is nowhere to go but up. Zhao’s solo, She’d, uses a score by Arvo Part and special costuming to reveal the female figure’s inner world, and her journey of self-discovery and liberation. Her group work is set to all-male choral music by Eero Hämeenniemi. An all female cast embodies the influences of the weight of memory. The weight drags and disturbs, but it also triggers rebirth from deconstruction. Another premiere, Duality, is a duet for two women choreographed by Gregoire. Driven by music from composer John Psathas, this work explores contrasting movement dynamics with variations in time and space. He will also restage Strange Gardens, a responsive-media infused work by Gary Galbraith. Created in 2016, a visually rich wonderland is created, manipulated, and transformed with a trio of dancers and their kinetic journey through space. Zhao will also restage January Thirtyfirst, a 2003 duet choreographed by CWRU alumna Lin Batsheva Kahn. With music by Phillip Glass and a narrated poem by Kahn, this powerful work depicts the grief and mutual support of a brother and sister at the moment of their mother’s death. The dancers show a painful journey through grief filled with anticipation, anger, and anxiety before transitioning into sad acceptance. Teeter will premiere a new work titled Chasing Unison. With a string quartet performing two fugues by J.S. Bach onstage, the four dancers each represent one of the quartet voices. As the work develops the dancers explore their connection to the music and to each other, wondering how to be united in such a complex, contrapuntal world. Tickets are $10 for students, $12 for seniors 60+ and CWRU personnel, and $15 for general admission. Reservations are recommended and may be made by calling (216) 368-5246 or online at dance.case.edu/reservations.

Career Preparation Etiquette Dinner for International Students

As international students look toward life after graduation, the Center for International Affairs invites them to the second annual Career Preparation Etiquette Dinner to help them prepare for job search and career success! Job interviews often include a meal with potential colleagues, and many companies ask employees to take clients out for nice dinners. Employers want to know their employees can be professional, even in social situations, and dining with others can be very challenging. Learning Western expectations of politeness can help you feel more comfortable eating unfamiliar foods, and mastering dining rules can help you make a great impression on others! International students who attend the dinner will receive hands-on training from Etiquette Consultant Catherine Holloway and will be served a three-course meal including soup, a main dish, and dessert so they can practice the skills they’re learning. The Etiquette Dinner will take place on Thursday, March 19 at 5:15 pm in the Thwing Center Ballroom. A limited number of tickets are available to international students of all degree levels on the International Student Services’ CampusGroups page: http://cglink.me/r623724
