Gender, Branding, and the Modern Music Industry: The Social Construction of Female Popular Music Stars

2/13/13
5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Walker Building
President's Room, Iwasaki Library (3rd floor)

Please join the Institute for Liberal Arts & Interdisciplinary Studies for a book celebration for Kristin J. Lieb, Assistant Professor in the Department of Marketing Communication, on her latest work, Gender, Branding, and the Modern Music Industry: The Social Construction of Female Popular Music Stars (Routledge 2013). The book provides a rare lens on the rigid packaging process that transforms female artists of various genres into female pop stars. The focus on the female pop star's body as her core asset has resigned many artists to being "short term person brands," positioned to earn as much money as possible before burning out or aging ungracefully. This book explores the sociological forces that drive female artists into patterned representations, the industry mechanisms that keep them there, and the ramifications on their career lifecycles. It also explores pop star meanings and their impact on audiences and the greater social world.

Refreshments will be served.

Bright Lights: Gigi with Vincente Minnelli biographer alum Mark Griffin

2/14/13
7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Paramount Center
Bright Family Screening Room

What better way to welcome Valentine's Day and Oscar season than with one of the most romantic Oscar-winning movies ever made ?

Gigi (MGM, 1958), winner of nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, this sumptuous musical stars Leslie Caron as a precocious Parisian girl groomed to be a kept woman, who comes to realize she'd rather marry for love instead. Laced with some of Lerner-and-Loewe's finest songs ("Thank Heaven for Little Girls," "The Night They Invented Champagne," ) and considered to be the last great MGM musical, this luxurious production crowned the career of acclaimed director Vincente Minnelli. Gigi will be introduced by Emerson graduate Mark Griffin, author of A Hundred or More Hidden Things: The Life and Films of Vincente Minnelli (Da Capo Press). Before the main feature, Griffin will screen a compilation of clips from some of Minnelli's other movies including Meet Me In St. Louis, An American in Paris and The Band Wagon.

In recent years his collaborations with Smith, including performances at The Public Theater's Under the Radar Festival (NYC) and the 2009 Sydney Festival, have received rave reviews from critics and audiences.

ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents American Utopias. Controversial monologist Mike Daisey in his newest work paints a distinctly American vision of utopia—how we create public spaces in which we come together to act out our dreams of a better world. Daisey takes us all over the map to pursue the story: from Disney World and its nostalgic theme park perfection, to the drug-fueled anarchic excesses of Burning Man, to Zuccotti Park, where in the unlikeliest place the Occupy movement was born. Gun-play, giant glittery dildos, raving animatronic presidents and brutal police actions come together to paint the stark landscape of our new American dream.

ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents Swimming to Cambodia. Actor and raconteur Spalding Gray delivers his acclaimed monologue Swimming to Cambodia for the camera. Slipping in history and socio-political context of the political turmoil Cambodia was experiencing at the time, Gray recounts his experience as an extra on the Sam Waterston film The Killing Fields filmed on location. A modern master of language and story, Gray's riveting tale speaks to the power of storytelling and importance of using the arts—theatre in particular—to bring about social awareness.

ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents Time Bandits. Monty Python affiliate Terry Gilliam gathers some of his favorite funny people to form this story of a fairy tale come to life. Young Kevin daydreams materialize when a troupe of little men burst through the wall of his wardrobe and sweep him off on a journey through history, planning to steal from some of the great men of times past. In an attempt to stay ahead of The Supreme Being, they dart through time, encountering figures like Napoleon, Robin Hood, Agamemnon and even Evil himself. With a cast including John Cleese, Ian Holm and Sean Connery, Gilliam pulls off his traditionally irreverent and ragingly funny story gone awry.

ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents The Shipment. Playwright and director Young Jean Lee and a talented cast of five African-American performers create an unsettling terrain of well-trodden stereotypes that dare audiences to laugh as they consider their own preconceptions about race and culture. One of the leading and most provocative voices in American contemporary theatre, Lee pushes herself to new artistic heights as she confronts her fear about creating an ethnic identity play through the lens of a "black identity politics show."

And Everything is Going Fine

2/17/13
1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Paramount Center
Bright Family Screening Room

ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents And Everything is Going Fine. Comprised of clips from monologist Spalding Gray's interviews and one-man shows, this hilarious and intimate documentary follows the life and career of one of America's most outstanding theatrical artists. Steven Soderbergh—acclaimed director and friend of Gray's—pieces together the warm, moving, and revealing clips of Gray's work and life to form a sort of posthumous autobiography celebrating the memory of this one-of-a-kind performer. The delicately chosen clips weave together a final monologue of sorts for Gray, remaining at once fascinating and enlightening but retaining an air of mystery.

Special appearance by Spalding Gray's wife Kathie Russo (one of the film's producers), son Forrest Gray (composer of the score) and Mike Daisey following the screening.

Bright Lights: An Evening with experimental filmmaker Peter Rose

2/19/13
7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Paramount Center
Bright Family Screening Room

Since 1968 Peter Rose has made over thirty films, tapes, performances and installations. Many of the early works raise intriguing questions about the nature of time, space, light, and perception and draw upon Rose's background in mathematics and on the influence of structuralist filmmakers. He subsequently became interested in language as a subject and in video as a medium and generated a substantial body of work that played with the feel and form of sense, concrete texts, political satire, oddball performance, and a kind of intellectual comedy. Recent video installations have involved a return to an examination of landscape, time, and vision. Rose has been widely exhibited, both nationally and internationally, having been included in shows at the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Biennial, the Centre Pompidou, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Film Society at Lincoln Center, and the Rotterdam International Film Festival. He has been awarded fellowships by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Guggenheim Foundation, the Pew Foundation, the Independence Foundation, and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, and is fond of writing descriptions in the third person.

Your Brother. Remember?

2/22/13
6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Paramount Center
Bright Family Screening Room

ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents Your Brother. Remember? An elaborate experiment with the concept of Before-and-After photographs, Your Brother. Remember? splices and dices home videos, Hollywood film footage, and live performance. As kids in rural America, Zachary and his older brother Gator loved making parodies of their favorite films, most notably Jean-Claude Van Damme's karate opus Kickboxer, and the notorious cult film Faces of Death. Then 20 years passed. Estranged from his family, Zack returned to his childhood home to re-create these films, shot for shot, as precisely as possible – but now seen through a 20-year lens of emotional and physical wear and tear. One brother became an actor, and one self-destructed. Which is which? How different are these lives? Could this story have turned out the other way around? Maybe. And what are these peculiar parralels in Mr. Van Damme's life, as it unfolded over the same 20 years? Born in Belgium or America, the simple childhood desire for love gets confused with fame, drugs and ambition. The liars believe their own lies, and "real-life" clashes with the "art of manipulation." But with Mr. Van Damme and renowned pathologist Dr. Francis Gross in their corner, Zack and Gator step into the ring one last time for a title shot at redemption.

ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents Transition. Transition is an absurd yet addictive mix of stereophonic effects, live video, geometric movement and improvisation created by comedic musician Reggie Watts and playwright/director Tommy Smith. Watts' many talents—standup comedian, former front man of rock band Maktub, R&B soul singer and experimental performer—have made him an audience favorite at venues and festivals around the world. In recent years his collaborations with Smith, including performances at The Public Theater's Under the Radar Festival (NYC) and the 2009 Sydney Festival, have received rave reviews from critics and audiences.

The Shipment

2/23/13
6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Paramount Center
Bright Family Screening Room

ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents The Shipment. Playwright and director Young Jean Lee and a talented cast of five African-American performers create an unsettling terrain of well-trodden stereotypes that dare audiences to laugh as they consider their own preconceptions about race and culture. One of the leading and most provocative voices in American contemporary theatre, Lee pushes herself to new artistic heights as she confronts her fear about creating an ethnic identity play through the lens of a "black identity politics show."

El Pasado Es Un Animal Grotesco

2/23/13
9:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Paramount Center
Bright Family Screening Room

ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents El Pasado Es Un Animal Grotesco. It's 1999 in Buenos Aires. Mario, Laura, Pablo and Vicky are in their mid-20s and ready for careers, love and adulthood. Over the next decade, Argentina's economy will collapse and their lives will take a series of unexpected turns. In this fast-paced, multilayered "mega fiction," director Mariano Pensotti (one of the most noted experimental directors throughout the world) deftly unfolds the lives of these four characters. El pasado es un animal grotesco (The Past is a Grotesque Animal) is a funny and moving portrait that takes place atop a slowly spinning turntable stage; a reminder of time's ceaseless march. Guided by a narrative voice-over, we are granted access to a string of defining moments in the touching and tumultuous lives of the group. Moments that illustrate how quickly and easily real life can transform into fiction and back again.

Passing Strange

2/24/13
1:00 pm - 3:15 pm
Paramount Center
Bright Family Screening Room

ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents Passing Strange. Already a hit Broadway show, Passing Strange tells the story of a young black man who decides to leave behind his religious, middle-class upbringing in 1970s Los Angeles and head to Europe to find something "real." In racy Amsterdam and militarized Berlin, he encounters some misadventures with sex, drugs, art and politics, causing him to realize how much he left behind at his home. Famed director Spike Lee brings his signature touch to this contemporary musical, filming the event with multi-camera coverage and providing a unique glimpse to the backstage process of the actors in the show. This electric collaboration between theatre and film artists is not to be missed.

 ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents Metamorphosis. Kafka's terrifying but bizarrely comic story bursts onto the stage in this theatrically explosive new version. Fantastic and horrific, surprisingly funny and poignant, the ordinary, unremarkable life of the Samsa family turns upside down when their son, Gregor, emerges one morning to find himself inexplicably transformed into a gigantic bug. Combining breathtaking physicality and daring aerial action, the recently transformed Gregor lithely negotiates a gravity-defying split level set in this hugely acclaimed production directed and adapted by Gisli Örn Gardarsson and David Farr. With evocative original music composed by world-renowned musician and lyricist Nick Cave and long-time collaborator Warren Ellis from The Bad Seeds, the music emphasizes Kafka's dream-like vision and turns it into an electrifying reality.

Bright Lights: Have You Heard From Johannesburg with director Connie Field

2/28/13
7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Paramount Center
Bright Family Screening Room

This story traces the complex and fascinating drama of the anti-apartheid movement in one of South Africa's most important allies, the United States. The US is a key battleground, with African-Americans at the center of the struggle. The campaigns take place in boardrooms, universities, embassies, and finally in the US Congress itself, where a stunning victory is won against the formidable opposition of President Ronald Reagan. African-Americans, for the first time in history, have turned the tide and altered the direction of US foreign policy. The US, once the backbone of support for the apartheid regime as her ally in the Cold War, finally imposes sanctions on Pretoria. This is part five of a seven part series on the global anti-apartheid movements, stretching from 1946-1990.

Apartheid and the Club of the West Film Screening

2/28/13
7:00 pm - 9:30 pm
Paramount Center
Bright Family Screening Room

Join the Institute for Liberal Arts and Interdisciplinary Studies and the Visual and Media Arts Department for a screening and discussion with the Academy Award nominated filmmaker Connie Field.

Long one of South Africa's most important and powerful allies, the United States becomes a key battleground in the anti-apartheid movement as African-Americans lead the charge to change the government's policy toward the apartheid regime. A grassroots movement to get colleges, city councils, and states to divest their holdings in companies doing business in South Africa spreads across the entire nation pressuring the U.S. Congress to finally sanction South Africa. This stunning victory is won against the formidable opposition of President Ronald Reagan. African-Americans significantly alter U.S. foreign policy for the first time in history. European sanctions follow, and with them, the political isolation of the apartheid regime.
