THE ROYAL ROAD:an exhibition of paintings by JILL PABICH

“The interpretation of dreams is in fact the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious.”

–Sigmund Freud

For Jill Pabich, both her dreams and her children provide

inspiration for painting. Says Pabich, “My dreams are very

vivid. They accompany me throughout my every day;

sometimes as a whisper, sometimes as an endless loop of

dreams that I remember, often decades old. While I can’t make

sense of them on a logical level, they speak to me through

symbols and atmospheres that are palpable. And because I

can’t explain them in words, I paint images of them.”

“My children’s faces evoke both deep love and awe in me;

being able to recreate their beauty feels like creating magic.

My process starts by looking through photographs I’ve taken;

sometimes a portrait and sometimes a landscape with a strong

sense of place. I choose settings because they are evocative of

my memories and dreams: a day at the fair, an abandoned house,

a stone watchtower. I use Photoshop as a ‘sketching’ tool to

combine different images in different layers and combinations.

I use the result of this as a reference for painting.”

“I keep formal elements in mind as well:

strong diagonals in my compositions, and

jewel-like colors while always trying to

improve my painting ability. I often work

using a monochromatic underpainting and

then apply layers of colored paint on top.

This allows me to tackle the drafting in

one step and the color in several more

passes, resulting in luminous images.”

PACK OF LIES:an exhibition of drawings by JASON ASSELINEmpty packs of cigarettes find their way to the ground and get

crushed by cars or human traffic. They are rained and snowed

upon and kicked around for months. “Unknowingly”, says

artist Jason Asselin, “the forces of nature and the inhabitants

of the city are preparing these discarded cigarette packs for me

to draw from. I consider this artwork a way of taking the nasty

habits of smoking and littering, and re-contextualizing the

resultant trash for a positive purpose.”

Looking at our garbage tells us about who we are; it is a

cultural artifact of the age in which we live. What is now trash

was, at one point in time, a very important possession for

many people. When a cigarette package is empty, it is quickly

discarded as trash. At first it is valued as extremely important,

but in the end it becomes totally useless. This is the action of

a disposable culture. We all participate to some extent in this

culture and in doing so we are leaving our mark on the earth.

These actions will echo into the future to eventually become

our legacy. This new body of work by Jason Asselin is a result

of close examination of these items which have been discarded,

seemingly without another thought. By not only examining

but by re-making these cigarette packs at an increased scale,

Asselin implores us to look at what we have left behind.

Tango Master Class Series taught by Pamela SlavksyJoin us for one class or join us for all!Tango: The Soul of Social DancingThese three master classes will combine dance lesson, lecture and discussion to draw participants into the Argentine tango

experience. Explore what is unique about tango and how it preserves the partner connection; the cultural and social contexts

that shape the dance; and how learning methods and technique can serve the social dance experience. No partner needed!

Class I: What Do We Do When We Tango?This class will give you a taste of what many consider the essence of Argentine tango:

the connection between partners. Demonstration by Pamela and Steve Slavsky

Class II: The Whole TangoEnter the milonga! Dance and try on parts of the tango experience where music,

tradition, trends, and human nature blend to create a social dance event that can be

as culturally diverse as it is traditional. With the assistance of North Shore Tango

Class III: Tango Technique and FunctionIn this class you will learn traditional, iconic tango technique while also exploring how

methods and technique can preserve or challenge the pleasures of social dancing.

Demonstration by Pamela and Steve Slavsky

Instructor Pamela Slavsky has studied both Argentine tango and salsa extensively, including travel to Argentina and Cuba.

She has taught social dance at Boston area universities, in dance communities and at festivals around New England for over a

decade. In her dance instruction, Pamela seeks to preserve the interactive dynamics unique to social dance through concepts

drawn from somatic and mindfulness practices.

Informal Dance Performance: Salem State Dance Faculty featuring guest artist Kris LenzoThe Salem State dance faculty share an informal showing of recent choreography.

Caitlin Corbett continues her exploration of movement-driven dance that celebrates human

quirkiness and challenges our notion of beauty. Corbett’s resistance to linear story telling

and overt meaning is evident in her dances, as is her utter faith in the power of movement

to express. Movement is shaped to distill an idea to an essential emotional resonance.

Meghan McLyman shows work that explores the balance between

motherhood and oneself including the joys, frustrations and pure exhaustion

of simply trying to make it through the day.

James Morrow reflects on white privilege, the music industry and his

own dance background as a white artist who works primarily in an Africanist

Aesthetic. Guest artist Kris Lenzo performs Morrow’s Passage Hawk,

a work that challenges the genre of wheelchair dancing finding nontraditional

ways of exploring both movement and the use of the apparatus itself.

Dance Performance: Jennifer Polins, artist-in-residenceJennifer Polins’ interdisciplinary approach results

in the creation of performance installations that

combine mediums of video, dance, sculpture, and

humor. Her work is often interactive, inviting the

audience into the event as an active participant.

Jen’s latest work, WASTING TIME WITH THE

OBVIOUS presents an installation of simultaneous

improvised solos sourced from themes of space,

perspective and presence. Each performer has a

sound score created by Polins, playing softly out

of an iPod, pulling the audience close to hear the

sound and watch the dance. CHAPTER 45 works

with complexity and transparency, layering spoken

word, audience participation, improvised scores,

and dynamic choreography with a cast of 20 to a

sound score by Michael Wall. A SENSIBLE THING

is a quirky, exhausting and intricate solo performed

by Polins that is set to the rich music of Robert

Schumann, directed by Peter Schmitz.

Polins is a movement practitioner and performance

maker, bridging somatics, performance practices

and contemporary dance techniques. She is

the director of The School for Contemporary

Dance and Thought and co-founder of Wire

Monkey Dance. She holds an MFA in dance

from Hollins University/The American Dance

Festival and is a 2014 Mass Cultural Council

choreographic fellow. Her work has been

seen across America, Europe and Asia.

Polins lives part-time in Berlin Germany

where she teaches, curates and collaborates

with Stephanie Maher and many vibrant performance artists

at the Ponderosa TanzLand Festival.

The Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare Directed by Kate Kohler AmoryThe comic device of “identical twins separated

at birth and reunited by chance” gag is

fundamental to farce. In The Comedy of Errors,

Shakespeare goes one better by giving each

identical twin an identical twin servant. When

Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant Dromio

arrive in the city of Ephesus, they have no idea

that their identical twins, Antipholus of Ephesus

and his servant Dromio, await. The mayhem that

ensues as the visitors are constantly mistaken

for the hometown pair leaves Antipholus of

Syracuse reveling in foreign hospitality and

Antipholus of Ephesus horrified as he watches

his world fall apart. The Dromios do their best

to keep up as they are caught between the two,

obeying all the wrong orders.

Set in the 1920’s, this production of the Bard’s

beloved farce will be a mash-up of Buster Keaton,

Charlie Chaplin and Will Shakespeare. Complete

with live slient movie style piano accompaniment

and featuring clown tango, this madcap

romp of mistaken identities is sure to delight!

October 15 – 17, 7:30 pmOctober 18, 2 pmOctober 22 – 24, 7:30 pmOctober 25, 2 pm

Thursday, October 22 includes a pre-show conversation at 6:30 pm:

The Grapes of Wrath by John SteinbeckAdapted by Frank Galati and directed by Peter SampieriExperience the classic American novel

by John Steinbeck that inspired a

generation in an intimate setting along

with live music inspired by Woody

Guthrie’s dust-bowl-era folk ballads.

The epic story of the Joad family’s

migration across America, powered

by a cast of 24 actors and musicians,

seems more relevant than ever.

Examining provocative social issues of

environmental degradation and wage

inequality, Steinbeck’s landscape is

one of loss and of hope that still

speaks its message of resistance into

our hearts across the divide of time.

Powerful, moving and packed with

live folk music, The Grapes of Wrath

will have us humming a dust-bowl

hymn long after the curtain falls.

December 3 – 5, 7:30 pmDecember 6, 2 pmDecember 10 – 12, 7:30 pmDecember 13, 2 pm

Thursday, December 10 inclues a pre-show conversation at 6:30 pm: “What Makes Poverty”

Pick-Up: An Original Dance-Theatre PerformanceCome experience an original dance-theatre performance that explores issues of race,

misrepresentation, ignorance, and bias through the lens of a “pick-up” game of street

basketball.

The result of an interdisciplinary collaboration between dance professor James

Morrow and theatre professor Peter Sampieri, the piece features original spoken-word

poetry woven together with hip-hop dance choreography to explore complex themes

of identity. Featuring a performance text written entirely by students, this fast-paced,

energized production promises to promote positive change by offering a holistic and

collective student-voice to the way we view our differences in society and on campus.

stage. This concert blends all of these genres into a musical narrative of

Bernstein’s life, exploring his concerns and thoughts about social consciousness,

love, politics, and religion. This concert features music department faculty

members Tiffany Baxter, mezzo-soprano and Dr. Bevely Soll, pianist.

Thursday, October 29, 7:30 pmMartin Luther King Jr. Room, Ellison Campus Center

Frank Bidart, poetFrank Bidart’s first books, Golden State

and The Book of the Body, gained critical

attention and praise, but his reputation as

a poet of uncompromising originality was

made with The Sacrifice, published in 1983.

Much of Bidart’s early work focuses on

the origins and consequences of guilt.

Among his most notable pieces are

dramatic monologues presented through

such characters as Herbert White, a child-

murderer, and Ellen West, an anorexic

woman. “Part of his effectiveness comes

simply from his ability as a storyteller,”

commented Michael Dirda in Washington

Post Book World. “You long to discover what happens to his poor, doomed people.”

Bidart’s recent volumes include Metaphysical Dog: Poems (Farrar, Straus and

Giroux, 2013)– National Books Critics Circle Award; Watching the Spring Festival:

Poems (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008); Star Dust (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2005);

Music Like Dirt (Sarabande Books, 2002); and Desire (Farrar, Straus and Giroux,

1997), which was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, and was a finalist for both the

National Book Award and the National Book Critic’s Circle Award. The 2007 recipient

of the Bollingen Prize for Poetry, he teaches English at Wellesley College.

My mother walks to the refrigerator

and takes out two glass-bottle

Cokes and sets them on the table

before us. Now, thoroughly tired,

she sits down heavily. Her black

hair, which had been secured tightly

into a bun, has become loose with

a couple of short strands falling

about her shoulders. There is flour

matted on her clothes, on her

round cheek and lightly on top of

her hair, making it appear grey.

With a shaky, swollen hand she

takes the caps off of the sodas

with a bottle opener. Water quickly

begins to run down the sides of the

glass from the heat in the kitchen.

We sit without drinking as we wait

for the rest of the bread to bake.
