In conjunction with the Culture C.O-O.P. and Bike City Theater Company, 新澳门六合彩内幕信息 Davis graduate students Joseph Fletcher and J.R. Yancher in the Department of Theatre and Dance present Sankofa as their MFA theses.  

Sankofa is a new play adapted from 新澳门六合彩内幕信息 Davis alumna Sandy Lynne Holman鈥檚 award-winning children鈥檚 book Grandpa, Is Everything Black Bad? This collaboration is the culmination of a year and a half of interning and learning by Fletcher and Yancher at Culture C.O.-O.P. under director Sandy Lynne Holman (B.A., psychology). Its focus is the praxis of a new work creation process in co-design with non-arts community partners in order to help further their goals and aspirations. Holman and Yancher co-wrote Sankofa along with alumnus Jordan Brownlee (B.A., cinema and digital media 鈥20).  

This workshop production will be performed April 1, 2 and 9 at 7 p.m. and April 3 and 10 at 2 p.m. at the Veterans Memorial Theatre in Davis (203 E 14th St.). Admission is 鈥淧ay what you can鈥 at the door. 

About the show: Montsho does not like his Black skin. Head hung low, he and his parents visit Grandpa for their first Kwanzaa celebration. Grandpa sizes up the situation and turns to the family Sankofa book, which expresses the importance of reaching back to knowledge gained in the past and bringing it into the present to address universal questions of race and belonging. Black historical figures leap off the page as they tell stories of ancient Kemet, barnstormers, Black Wall Street, and more. The family brings the principles of Kwanzaa to life and strengthens their bonds and rediscovers the heritage that comes with being Black.

Directed by graduate student Edward Talton-Jackson with support from Fletcher who is producer and creative supervisor, the play features 新澳门六合彩内幕信息 Davis students and alumni onstage and behind the scenes. The cast includes Jasmine Washington (B.A., theatre and dance, 鈥18) and undergraduate student V鈥檚anti Tobey. Offstage alumna Melissa Cunha (B.A., theatre and dance and cinema and digital media) and undergraduate student Madeline Weissenberg are the stage managers.   

鈥楾he Photographer鈥檚 Moment鈥 opens at Gallery 625; reception Friday

The photographer is both the subject and artist in the new exhibition The Photographer鈥檚 Moment opening at YoloArts Gallery 625 in Woodland on Friday, April 1. This solo show of photographs by Joseph Finkleman explores photographers 鈥 from the professional to the casual selfie taker.  

The exhibition is part of a larger regional celebration of April鈥檚 Photography Month coordinated by Viewpoint Photographic Art Center in Sacramento.  

 In his artist statement for the show, Finkleman says:  

鈥淔or the last 10 years I have been pursuing my vision of what photography is to me while photographing other photographers while they pursued the image of the day. The photographs in this exhibit reflect that decisive moment when I see a story 鈥 a story about photographers creating their own personal decisive moment. I am using my ability to tell a story to you, visually with my photographs鈥 I think that an image is figurative in itself, so instead of writing with words I want to show you in pictures why I love photographers figuratively.鈥 

The Photographer鈥檚 Moment is a creative collection of images of professional photographers at work and everyday people taking selfies with cell phones.  

The artist will attend the opening reception, 5:30鈥8 p.m. Friday,  April 1, coinciding with the downtown Woodland First Friday event. Music will be performed by The Jane Thompson Trio musicians: Jane Thompson, John Spivack, Mike Bender 鈥 and light refreshments will be available. From 6:30 to 7 p.m. artist Finkleman will talk about the power of photography and how it has become a part of our daily lives. He will discuss his work, his passion for photographers, and the enchantment of 鈥渢he photographer鈥檚 moment.鈥

The exhibit runs through May 31.
