Contra Dance with Waxwing

11 Feb 2012 01:30:00 GMT

Smith Hall - Museum of Natural History
Friday, February 10, 2012, 7:30 – 10:30pm

(Tuscaloosa, Al) The University of Alabama’s Creative Campus, Natural History Museum, and Residence Hall Association are pleased to present a College Night Contra Dance at Smith Hall featuring the band Waxwing with caller Seth Tepfer on Friday, February 10, 2012 from 7:30 pm – 10:30 pm. The event is free and open to the public and additionally sponsored by New College and the Blount Undergraduate Initiative. For more information call 205-348-7884 or visit www.creativecampus.ua.edu.
Contradance is a form of music and dance that involves a caller, and blends traditional styles with new twists, drawing new audiences. The four-piece band, Waxwing, that will be playing for the event is led by Robin Behn, an English professor in the MFA in creative writing program here at the university. New contra dancers will have an opportunity to be taught how to contra dance by gentle, encouraging, skillful master-caller Seth Tepfer who will have them all up and dancing very simple contra dances to Waxwing in a matter of minutes. A true American dance form that is wildly popular in cities and college towns across the country, it is an easy, welcoming, form of dance. It’s not a “partner” dance. Rather, everyone dances with everyone else over the course of the evening to a basic walking step, repeating simple patterns over and over. Anyone, even those utterly inexperienced or allergic to dance, even those traumatized by wedding waltzes, critical ballet teachers, or snide gym teachers from the past, can get over their dance phobia and love contra dancing. It’s easy, it’s great exercise, and it’s totally do-able the very first time by children, old people, and everyone in between. We hope to infect Tuscaloosa in an ongoing way with contra dance fever.
Waxwing band’s motto is “Traditional Music Taking Flight.” By “traditional music,” they mean a base of tunes passed down over hundreds of years from fiddler to fiddler in Ireland, Appalachia, the Deep South, Quebec, New England and the Northwest, to name a few. By “taking flight” they mean that they start with these traditional tunes and then improvise on them, going off into musical regions as disparate as pop, jazz, reggae, classical and other places they aren’t sure of the name of. Like most traditional bands, Waxwing has a “bottom”—rhythm and chords providing the very changeable but always identifiable heartbeat of the band: electric keyboard, eclectic percussion. These guys, Wayne Hitt and Shawn Webster, will let you know when to move your feet and keep you all together moving across a dance floor like a field of coordinated elks. Up above, there are two other voices. One is a fiddle, a violin in disguise that is not always quite in disguise as Andrew Levin, a music professor at Clemson University, dips in and out of his traditional and classical roots. And one more voice, winds: flute and—what is that little thing? —a brass penny whistle worth a bit more than a penny. Robin Behn’s flute is haunting, lyrical, jazz-prone; the whistle will buy you a beer at a pub in Dublin.

Waxwing is a model of art-on-the-outside. Fiddle tunes are a form of folk, or outsider, art—most fiddlers can’t read music and never took a lesson. And for the whole band it’s a gig outside how they mostly spend their days. Andrew Levin, when he isn’t stepping outside his main musical training to fiddle with Waxwing, is a professor of classical music, conducting the orchestra at Clemson University and playing viola in the Greensville Symphony. Wayne Hitt, the keyboard player, made a living at the keys in the dance halls of the 70s and 80s. The disco lights are still in his eyes while he works as a professional horticulturalist—outside—and tells the band what chord-country they are cultivating. Shawn Webster has a carpentry business and pursues his passions of playing drums for longstanding puppetry and improv groups. His kit features outsider drums and junk you may not have had in your band room: jimbae, washboard, a civil war bugle.... And Robin Behn, a poet on the creative writing faculty at the University of Alabama, goes outside her work with words to play winds, this other kind of mouth-talk, building on her classical flute training to learn penny whistle, going from writing about music to writing that goes inside the music.

Waxwing has performed for contra dances all across the Southeast, from Atlanta to River Falls SC, from Knoxville to Chattanooga to Memphis to Huntsville to Birmingham. We have performed the Fiddle Tune Poems and the Original Waltzes at the Lake Eden Arts Festival, one of the largest folk festivals in the nation in Asheville SC. For more information on the Waxwing band, please visit their homepage: Here
Videos of contradance are also available online to give you a better sense of what the dance is. A particularly good one can be found on Youtube, here

Theatre Tuscaloosa Presents: Noises Off

27 Feb 2012 01:30:00 GMT

Bean-Brown Theatre at Shelton State
9500 Old Greensboro Rd
Tuscaloosa, AL 35405
Sunday, February 26, 2012, 7:30 – 9:30pm

If laughter is the best medicine the Noises Off is a double-dose! This side-splitting farce gives audiences a glimpse behind the curtain as a cast of eccentric actors attempts to put on a play called Nothing-On – in which nothing goes right. Flubbed lines, missed cues, and wardrobe malfunctions are just the beginning as this winning comedy reveals what can happen onstage when things go wrong offstage.

Thurs - Sat at 7:30pm
Sun & Wed at 2:00pm

Cost: Adult - $17, Senior - $15, Military - $15, Group - $12, Student/Child - $12
