Thoughts from Ryan Raul Ba\u00f1agale, Director of The Arts at CC<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n
A recurrent refrain in my class on American Musical Theatre is that such productions \u201creflect and refract\u201d the cultures of their past and our present. While they entertain, they also reveal much about who we are, how perspectives shift, and what role art plays in exploring and expressing identity. <\/span><\/div>\n

Now that we\u2019ve reached Block 8 and \u2014 for some \u2014 the final block of their CC career, I ask us all to take a moment to reflect on what The Arts at CC has meant over the course of this semester, year, or collegiate experience. How have encounters with the arts \u2014 visual, sonic, literary, digital, and interdisciplinary \u2014 reflected and\/or refracted your lived experience? How have they contributed to who you have become at CC?  <\/p>\n

Our final newsletter of the year offers a few reflections from the staff and students of The Arts at CC Office. I would like to thank them not only for bringing a continued awareness to the amazing arts opportunities across campus, but also for working frequently and tirelessly behind the scenes to make things happen. The same can be said for all involved in the arts departments, programs, student groups, and the FAC! <\/p>\n

We wish you the very best as you journey out into the summer and beyond! <\/p>\n

Sincerely, 
Ryan Raul Ba\u00f1agale 
Director of The Arts at CC 
Associate Professor, Music

Reflections on the Arts in Block 7 and Welcome \u201cA Year in The Arts Party\u201d <\/span>
<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span> <\/div>\n
Block 7 was a treat in the arts: 24-hour TWIT improv show on the first weekend and the \u201cSunbutter\u201d sketch comedy show on the following weekend transposed Taylor Theatre into a sleepless laughter hub. Second through third week, the \u201cForever Foreign Series\u201d and \u201cThe MacLean Symposium\u201d culminated in a series of critical dialogues. The Pulitzer prize-winning author Viet Thanh Nguyen shared insights on refugees, language, and the contested meaning of America in his keynote address. Scholar Ma Vang and poet Mai Der Vang discussed Hmong refugee epistemologies, history, and literature. Poet Divya Victor and CC\u2019s book artist Aaron Cohick had a conversation on grief, community, and collaboration in Divya Victor\u2019s poetry collection \u2018CURB\u2019. Last but not least, the series culminated in Professor Aline Lo, the main organizer of the MacLean Symposium, having a conversation with the award-winning author of \u201cMinor Feelings,\u201d Cathy Park Hong to speak on Asian American literature, history, and futurity. <\/p>\n

In addition to the literary arts events, the performing arts were also full of highlights. As the lights dimmed in Kathryn Mohrman Theatre, loud \u201cWoo-hoo!\u201d and whispers of excitement echoed off the walls, and all eyes were on stage as the curtains opened for the spring production of Dance Workshop. Community, energy, and support were felt from backstage to the audience. Furthermore, DanSix \u2014 a collaboration between Dance faculty member Patrizia Herminjard and 10 student artists \u2014 had a successful premier of the \u201cThe Garden, a kinetic poem,\u201d a screendance film exploring the relationship between poetry and movement, in Cornerstone Screening Room. This past block, Packard Hall was filled with extraordinary concerts from \u201cOpera Scenes\u201d to Summer Music Festival Intermezzo Season with Mark Fewer, John Novacek, and Idris Goodwin where spoken word and music intersected, and many more. <\/p>\n

We hope you continue to encounter and enjoy the arts with us. The Arts at CC invites you to join \u201cA Year in the Arts Party\u201d<\/strong> on the third Friday of Block 8, May 13, 8-10 p.m. in Cornerstone Main Space. Enjoy some food, live music, student art exhibit, and good company, as we reflect and celebrate the arts at the end of the year!

What\u2019s it Like to Work at The Arts at CC?: Reflections From Student Interns <\/span><\/h1>\n
\u201cI love being an Arts at CC intern because it allows me to connect with all the amazing arts things that students and departments do around campus. Before I started working for the office, I never knew about events unless other people told me or it was highly advertised, so spreading information about the arts has been a very important way of uniting and bringing more students into the arts community on campus.\u201d \u2014 Lily Price \u201923 <\/p>\n

\u201cThis job gives me the opportunity to meet and learn from artists and to connect with peers doing art things I believe in. That is an invaluable thing for me here at CC.\u201d \u2014 anya quesnel \u201923 <\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing I particularly enjoyed was attending different events on campus which are related to the arts and writing about them for The Arts at CC Instagram. So far, most of my effort has gone into organizing the Open Arts Jam Session in Block 7, since music is very important to me, and I feel passionate about contributing to the creation of a space for students to engage in music and relax. Being involved and informed about all the events on campus as an intern at the The Arts at CC Office has been so helpful for the connection I now feel to the community on campus, especially the arts community. I enjoy being involved and knowing more about what different departments at CC are doing that is connected to the arts. I am so happy that the office exists now because it is a space that brings all the arts in the community together. Working as an Arts intern this semester has significantly improved my experience at CC.\u201d \u2014 Barbara Bilic \u201924 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe interns have great style and musical taste.\u201d \u2014 Ojo, The Arts at CC mascot, aka our beloved dog. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
