New Oleans, LA - Skin Horse Theater Performance

Friday, April 9, 2010 - Sunday, April 18, 2010 at 8:00 pm
3519 St. Claude Ave

The Skin Horse Theater presents Curiouser: An Historical Inaccuracy at the Backyard Ballroom. Skin Horse Theater is comprised of '09 alumniae Veronica Hunsinger-Loe, Brian Dorsam, Evan Spigelman, Nat Kusinitz, and Anna Henschel.

Dates: April 9-11 and 16-18 @ 8pm
 
Cost: $10

Curiouser: An Historical Inaccuracy manipulates the inadequacies of history to entwine the disparate lives of Sylvia Plath, a suicidal poet disenchanted with a dark world, Lewis Carroll, a lonely writer in love with a ghost, and Carroll's muse, Alice Liddell, a young girl caught between the wonder of youth and the lure of growing up. Each, trapped in a labyrinth of convention, expectation, and desperate hope, struggles to find the limits of human resilience and, ultimately, their own way out.

Reviews from the original Bard College Production: "A literate play with anarchic tendencies."   "Everything a performance should be."  "Ambitious, messy, full of tragedy and grotesque humor, sprawling and energetic...there were moments so haunting that I know I will dream of them tonight."

New York - Amie Siegel '96 at MoMA

Monday, April 19, 2010 at 7:00 pm
MoMA, 11 West 53rd Street, NYC

As a prelude to MoMA's annual survey of recent German cinema, Kino! 2010, Amie Siegel '96 presents and discusses her film DDR/DDR (2000), a film essay about contemporary life in the former DDR (Deutsche Demokratische Republik, better known as East Germany). Siegel graduated from The Art Institute of Chicago and Bard College before heading to Berlin on an academic grant. There, she has created a number of distinguished installations and single-screen moving image pieces. Many of these works, which she refers to as "cine constellations," examine the nature of objectivity and historical memory.

Program 135 min.
The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 2

Organized by Laurence Kardish, Senior Curator, Department of Film.
