Upcoming events for April 2012 at Colorado College

Calendar of Events: April 2012

Sunday, April 1, 2012

Exhibit: Dance: Madam and Evening: A Living Dream Installation — Created in collaboration with the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center and Colorado College drama and dance department, this student performance includes elements of dance, theater, film, and other interdisciplinary media. Thematically, the project is an exploration of the profundity and absurdity of dreams, and an examination of their role within the human experience. Dreams exist as personal experiences that create an imagined reality of unique aesthetic possibilities outside of the tangible world. In this performance-based installation, Madam and Evening escape into the unconscious, simultaneously experiencing the same dream. While individual agency and influence remain intact, reality and expectations do not. There is a multimedia installation available for view every day when the FAC is open (Tuesday-Sunday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.) Live performances featuring dancers Arob Dickerson and Dolo McComb as Madam and Evening will take place every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. through April 14.

Film: Lecture: “The Minister’s War:” Film Screening Honoring Waitstill and Martha Sharp (Heroes During the Holocaust) — In 1939, a young Unitarian minister named Waitstill Sharp and his wife Martha embarked on a mission that changed not only their lives, but the lives of thousands. The Sharps went to Prague, arriving just one month before the German invasion. Over the next two years, the Sharps found food, shelter, and travel visas for countless Czech and French refugees and quietly arranged for Jews and other refugees to escape to safety. Their own lives were constantly in danger as they outwitted and circumvented the Nazi authorities. The Sharps were the second and third American citizens to be named Righteous Among the Nations, the highest honor bestowed on non-Jews by the Israeli government. ”The Minister’s War” is a new documentary highlighting the risks taken by the Sharps to save whomever they could, using whatever means they could. Filmmaker Emma Blaxter, who is the couple’s granddaughter, will be available to answer questions and tell about the making of the movie and the detective work involved in proving for the historical record the heroism of two people who didn’t want to talk about it.
