BACKGROUND: Fifteen undergraduate choreographers present 13 original works – ranging from tap and ballet to modern/contemporary – in this annual showcase of talent. Assistant Professor Loretta Livingston serves as artistic director for this 90-minute program.

The UCI Department of Dance was founded on the principle that aspiring professionals need substantial experience in more than one form of dance and in more than one academic area to succeed in the field of dance. Dance at UCI reflects the research and preservation of dance history, the exploration of choreography in the present, and the cutting edge technology of the future. Student choreography, teaching, and scholarship benefit from exposure to many styles and approaches, all aiming to inspire and prepare the next generation of dance professionals.

The name “Los Cojolites” comes from a bird, a kind of pheasant that was venerated as a god of the trees by the ancient Nahuatl speaking people who lived around this area. The Cojolite Bird is especially known for the length of is song, a full uninterrupted five minutes of it, at the crack of dawn.

Among the hills and fields, villages and small cities in the southern part of Mexico’s Veracruz state, the lively string band music known as the “Son Jarocho” is the characteristic musical and dance expression of the region’s people. It is a genre that fuses the three great cultures that blended so flavorfully into today’s Mexico” Spanish (which is itself a blend of Christian Europe and Muslim North Africa), Black African and the indigenous. Around these parts community spirit is forged in the heart of its fandangos, fiestas, which amalgamate a strong social metal with its own special kind of spirituality and life style.

Son del Centro

Son del Centro is a group of companeros and camaradas who are students, musicians, activists, dancers, friends and organizers from various parts of Santa Ana, California.

The group was formed to create a space for youth to explore their traditions, creativity and consciousness, through son jarocho music. Inspired by the Jarocho groups from Mexico brought to Southern California by El Centro, this group of youth began attending son jarocho classes about two years ago, and fell in love with the music.

Soon they began performing at different events throughout Orange County.

Come enjoy a night of son jarocho music from the Veracruz region of Mexico!

Primordial Images of a Modern Mystic- Myron Conan Dyal
Exhibition in the Main Gallery
CSUF Grand Central Art Center unveils the first solo exhibition by self-taught Southern California-based artist Myron Conan Dyal. Primordial Images of a Modern Mystic features 18 paintings, 12 drawings and 20 sculptures from Dyal’s vast oeuvre spanning nearly three decades. His imagery is overwhelmingly dark and haunting and obviously created with obsession and compulsion: he uses papier-mâché to create his sculpture, in large part, because its immediacy accommodates his urgency to see his objects in three-dimensional form. Usually figurative or organic, the forms are derived from visions he experienced during epileptic seizures and self-induced trances he encountered on his spiritual journey to come to grips with his lifelong struggle with epilepsy and its stigma. A classically trained musician and telecommunications executive, Dyal kept his prolific production of art secret for many years—only showing it to family and a few close friends until recently.

Handmade Puppet Dreams- curated by GCAC, Ratpowered Films, and Heather Henson
Exhibition Featured in the Project Room Gallery
Artists featured: Genevieve Anderson, Paul Andrejco, Kate Artibee, Marsian DeLellis, Laura Heit, Lyon Hill, Steve Johnson, Tim Lagasse, Eli Presser, Matty Sidle, Hoku Uchiyama, Xander Marrow and Mat Brinkman, Sean Meredith and Paul Zaloom, Mike Mitchell and Dan Brown, Thomas Sontag and Alex Moulton, Seamus Walsh and Mark Cabellero, Damien Eckhardt-Jacobi and Vincent Bova, Janie Geiser, Tony Giordano, Jason Murphy and Scott Shoemaker.

Handmade Puppet Dreams, the creative artists network presented by Heather Henson, daughter of legendary puppeteer Jim Henson is a catalog comprised of more than twenty artists and filmmakers dedicated to conveying contemporary artistic concerns through the art of puppetry. This legendary exhibition features a selection of short films by independent artists exploring their handmade craft through the medium of film, as well as a display of the sculptural puppets.

Drawn to Gravity
Exhibition featured in the R&S Gallery
Zachary Kleyn, Jennifer Celio and Naoe Suzuki
The exhibition Drawn to Gravity points to a curiosity of ideas and experimentation, triggered by the direct process of drawing. Urban environments inspire Jennifer Celio’s meticulously rendered graphite drawings on panel. Celio illustrates not only the passing of time but also a process of change. Zachary Kleyn’s new drawings and sculptures question specific ways in which we navigate through life. The drawings, transparent and opaque, geometric and organic, do not follow normal rules of nature but instead act as metaphors to link disparate images and ideas. Kleyn will also exhibit a selection of new sculptures tangibly depicting seemingly impossible circumstances. The inspiration for the intricate and multi-layered drawings of Naoe Suzuki comes from medical dictionaries, journals, textbooks and catalogs. In her current work, Suzuki references art history, religious iconography, fashion and plant forms. These diverse and vague influences are pushed together to form quirky, yet delicate and poetic compositions.
