poets & writers ticket schedule

The reading and lecture series lets the best of today’s writers share their

secrets with literary aficionados. Presentations take place in

the Gateway Center – Davis Auditorium. (Free and open to the public)

TAYLOR MALI Tuesday, October 20 12:00 noon & 1:00 pm This well-known poet has emerged from the poetry slam movement and is one of the original poets from the HBO series, Def Poetry

Jam. Mali is the founding curator of the long-running poetry series, Page Meets Stage, “where the Pulitzer Prize meets the poetry slam.”

EDGAR OLIVER Thursday, November 19 10:00 am & 12:00 noon This New York playwright, performer, storyteller, and poet has produced work that The New Yorker's Hilton Als has called

“emotionally grand.” Oliver’s plays have been performed at many NYC area theaters, including the popular La Mama Theater.

The Fine Arts Gallery is located on the third floor of the Academic Arts Building, across from the theatre. It is open Monday through Saturday 10:00 am-3:00 pm, and Thursday evenings 4:00-6:00 pm. Exhibitions and receptions are free and open to the public. For a complete schedule of gallery events, please visit www.sunywcc.edu/gallery or call 914-606-7867.

STEVE ROSSI: DYSFUNCTIONAL AND OVERLOOKEDTuesday, September 8 – Sunday, November 22This exhibition brings together two separate but related bodies of work that investigate relationships between social systems of organization and the spaces within our physical bodies exist.In the Reciprocal Ladder series, the utilitarian function and visual form of a ladder have been subverted for aesthetic and metaphorical purposes, raising questions around other forms as in what a “ladder of success” might embody. In the Sidewalk Alchemy project, photography is used to document random patterns created by chewing gum on heavily trafficked sidewalks. Familiar and

overlooked relationships between social interactions and physical spaces are examined.

STUDENT SHOW Monday, December 7 – Saturday, December 12An end-of-term celebration of student talent and creativity will be showcased. The show reflects both student accomplishments and faculty dedication.

CHINESE GOLDEN DRAGON ACROBATSSaturday, September 19 8:00 pmThis ensemble represents the best of a time-honored tradition dating back twenty-five centuries. Recognized internationally as the premier Chinese acrobatic touring company, the troupe’s attention to artistic detail, choreography and staging is unparalleled. Award-winning gymnastic feats are combined with ancient and contemporary acrobatics and theatrical techniques in this show of gravity-defying skills and spellbinding beauty.

KRASNOYARSK NATIONAL DANCE COMPANY OF SIBERIA Saturday, October 17 8:00 pmThis breathtaking kaleidoscope of thrilling folk dance choreography, athleticism, stunning costumes, and energetic music results in a remarkable performance for the entire family. With intricate skill and a deep love of Siberian culture, folk dance is elevated to an awe-inspiring artistic level, rooted in glorious history and a rich cultural legacy. “Words fail to express the deep impression created by the beautiful figures, swift movements and virtuoso performances including the smooth, gliding dances of the girls and the remarkable jumps of the male dancers.” (Washington Post)

The stage transforms the literary page…its ever present brilliance in plays, both dramatic and comedic!

Performances are held in the Academic Arts Theatre

AQUILA THEATRE COMPANY Adventures of Sherlock HolmesSaturday, October 3 8:00 pmThe legendary sleuth takes the stage in this witty, fast-paced production. Clever Holmes skillfully maneuvers the twisted web of London's most intriguing cases with his split-second deductions and problem solving acuity. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's other vivid characters are also brought to life including trusty sidekick Dr. Watson and Irene Adler, the woman who got away. The Aquila Theatre brings its energetic and physical style to this new adaptation. With actors drawn from the top British and American stages, this is a thrilling and memorable ride.

NATIONAL PLAYERS Julius Caesar (Shakespearean drama) Saturday, January 23 8:00 pm This is considered to be quite the political drama, which bears relevance in today’s global arena. The Romans venerate their leader, but Brutus sees that Julius Caesar may be too powerful for the good of the nation. Shakespeare's masterful examination of conspiracy, assassination, and its fallout remains hauntingly timeless. What do you do when an individual becomes greater than his nation? A memorable masterpiece!

NATIONAL PLAYERS A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Shakespearean comedy) Saturday, May 14 8:00 pm Shakespeare's most mischievous comedy throws unrequited lovers, warring fairies, and amateur thespians into a mysterious forest and sets a trickster named Puck loose on them all. When a love potion gone wrong starts to confuse everyone, who will wind up chasing whom?
