SUMMARY:Black Midwest Symposium Hosted by Black Midwest Initiative
DESCRIPTION:The Black Midwest Initiative hosts a biennial symposium that features artists\, activists\, academics\, and other community-involved people to discuss issues related to Black life in the Midwest.

SUMMARY:CURTIS MANN: Precious Blood
DESCRIPTION:CURTIS MANN: Precious Blood\n\n\n\n\nTHE DR. ROBERT L. BRANDT JR. FAMILY GALLERY\nTHE IRA & SUSAN THOMSEN FAMILY GALLERY \n\n\n\n\nSEP 6 – DEC 21\, 2024\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDayton native\, Curtis Mann\, returns home to present an experimental new body of work inspired by reflections on his childhood attending Parochial schools\, his mother’s Catholic funeral services this past May\, and the challenges he faced hiding and then embracing his atheism. Using a mixture of personal family photographs\, found\, and AI-generated images\, Mann has cut and affixed them to shards of glass to create sculptural collages. The work presents us with questions about what a photograph is\, about the precarious space between the image and the object\, and about the larger ideas of absolute faith\, its teachings\, and leaders. The work also serves as a love letter to his mother and his own feelings of mortality. Curated by Jeffrey Cortland Jones. \nMann is a graduate of the University of Dayton\, where he worked under the mentorship of Sean Wilkinson\, whose work is on view in the companion exhibition\, Flora\, also on view. His work has been exhibited widely\, most notably at the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York; the Centre Georges Pompidou\, Paris\, France; the Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York; and the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOPENING NIGHT / SEP 6\n\n\n\n\nMembers Preview with the Artist 5-6 pm / Public Reception 6-8 pm \n\n\n\n\nARTIST TALK / NOV 22 / 6:30 pm\n\n\n\n\nCurtis Mann and Sean Wilkinson in Conversation with artist and writer\, Carmen Winant \nDoors open 6 pm / Reception immediately following ‘til 8 pm / FREE & open to all / The Tank at The Dayton Arcade

SUMMARY:Sinclair College presents Broadway-bound musical\, Alice by Heart
DESCRIPTION:Sinclair Theatre is thrilled to announce the regional debut of Alice by Heart\, a captivating new musical from the Tony and Grammy award-winning creators Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik\, and Jessie Nelson. This groundbreaking production will run in Blair Hall from October 11-19\, 2024\, with performances at 7 p.m. (Oct. 11\, 12\, 15\, 17\, 18\,19) and one Sunday matinee\, Oct. 13\, at 2 p.m.  ASL-interpreted performances are October 13 and 17. Set against the backdrop of the London Blitz during World War II\, Alice by Heart tells the poignant story of Alice Spencer\, whose teenage life is turned upside down when she and her dear friend Alfred are forced to take shelter in an underground tube station. As they navigate the chaos of war\, Alice encourages Alfred\, who is ailing and quarantined\, to escape into their cherished book and embark on an imaginative journey down the rabbit hole to Wonderland. Inspired by Lewis Carroll’s novel\, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland\, this show is directed by Kimberly Borst. The score is overseen by musical co-directors Lorri Topping and Bryon Dobbs. Jennifer Sydor provides dance choreography; Gary Minyard provides fight choreography; and Dr. Ariadne Calvana serves as the Intimacy Director. This production contains adult themes and mature subject matter; it is not intended for children 13 and under. “Taking on a project this complex and this new is always a risk as there isn’t a history of past productions to inspire a cast of student actors\,” says director\, Kimberly Borst. “But this cast has embraced all the unknowns and created a wonderful\, imaginative\, intriguing\, and beautiful cast of characters that will inspire\, frighten\, and\, at times\, repulse the audience.  Every day I am inspired by their courage and energy as I watch them tackle very difficult music and choreography and make the famous Alice in Wonderland characters their own.  ‘By Heart’ is appropriately in the title because these actors really have given their whole heart to this production\, and THEY are the heart of this production. I can’t imagine a more dedicated cast to tell this story and one that I am honored to work with.” The cast consists of Amelie de la Nuez\, Dominick Griffin\, Fae Bass\, Edward Folkerth\, Courtney Collinsworth\, Valentine Rangel\, Joy Wood\, Emma Smith\, Henry Ballard\, Jorge Melo\, Feather Norman\, and Kailie Gould. The production staff includes Sinclair Theatre alums Sarah Caplan as stage manager and Jessy Henning as lighting designer. Sound design by Dan Brunk and costume design by Maria Fernanda Ortiz Lopez.

SUMMARY:Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson – Apt. 2B
DESCRIPTION:This fast-paced romp re-examines the world’s most famous detective story with a bold new feminist lens. In this highly theatrical escapade\, oddball female roommates Sherlock (yes\, it’s also a girl’s name—wait\, is it a girl’s name? Is it even a name?) Holmes & Joan Watson join forces. They emerge from the pandemic fog as a deeply codependent\, quasi-dysfunctional Odd Couple adventure duo—solving mysteries and kicking butts\, until they come face-to-face with a villain who seems to have all of the answers. \nPrepare for an evening of laughter\, suspense\, and empowerment as ‘Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson\, Apt. 2B’ takes you on an unforgettable adventure that redefines heroism\, friendship\, and the art of deduction.

SUMMARY:Sinclair College presents Broadway-bound musical\, Alice by Heart
DESCRIPTION:Sinclair Theatre is thrilled to announce the regional debut of Alice by Heart\, a captivating new musical from the Tony and Grammy award-winning creators Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik\, and Jessie Nelson. This groundbreaking production will run in Blair Hall from October 11-19\, 2024\, with performances at 7 p.m. (Oct. 11\, 12\, 15\, 17\, 18\,19) and one Sunday matinee\, Oct. 13\, at 2 p.m.  ASL-interpreted performances are October 13 and 17. Set against the backdrop of the London Blitz during World War II\, Alice by Heart tells the poignant story of Alice Spencer\, whose teenage life is turned upside down when she and her dear friend Alfred are forced to take shelter in an underground tube station. As they navigate the chaos of war\, Alice encourages Alfred\, who is ailing and quarantined\, to escape into their cherished book and embark on an imaginative journey down the rabbit hole to Wonderland. Inspired by Lewis Carroll’s novel\, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland\, this show is directed by Kimberly Borst. The score is overseen by musical co-directors Lorri Topping and Bryon Dobbs. Jennifer Sydor provides dance choreography; Gary Minyard provides fight choreography; and Dr. Ariadne Calvana serves as the Intimacy Director. This production contains adult themes and mature subject matter; it is not intended for children 13 and under. “Taking on a project this complex and this new is always a risk as there isn’t a history of past productions to inspire a cast of student actors\,” says director\, Kimberly Borst. “But this cast has embraced all the unknowns and created a wonderful\, imaginative\, intriguing\, and beautiful cast of characters that will inspire\, frighten\, and\, at times\, repulse the audience.  Every day I am inspired by their courage and energy as I watch them tackle very difficult music and choreography and make the famous Alice in Wonderland characters their own.  ‘By Heart’ is appropriately in the title because these actors really have given their whole heart to this production\, and THEY are the heart of this production. I can’t imagine a more dedicated cast to tell this story and one that I am honored to work with.” The cast consists of Amelie de la Nuez\, Dominick Griffin\, Fae Bass\, Edward Folkerth\, Courtney Collinsworth\, Valentine Rangel\, Joy Wood\, Emma Smith\, Henry Ballard\, Jorge Melo\, Feather Norman\, and Kailie Gould. The production staff includes Sinclair Theatre alums Sarah Caplan as stage manager and Jessy Henning as lighting designer. Sound design by Dan Brunk and costume design by Maria Fernanda Ortiz Lopez.
