The spectacular avant-garde choreographies of flamenco dancer Rocío Molina have electrified audiences around the world. Her extravagant, mesmerizing and mostly improvised pieces combine traditional Flamenco with modern-dance, avant-garde theatrics, objects, paint, and eclectic music compositions. Impulso is an intimate portrait of Molina, one of the dance world’s most passionate artists, as she travels the world to perform her improvised “impulsos” at unusual venues ranging from prisons to modern art museums. Now Molina must prepare for one of her most challenging works ever for a new show at Chaillot National Theater in Paris. Despite Molina’s unconventional stagings and artful theatrical setups, she remarkably manages to maintain her connection to Flamenco’s rich history and traditions. In Spanish with English subtitles.

She must not be awed by that which has been built up around her she must reverence that woman in her which struggles for expression.”– Margaret Sanger The “WOMAN” show at the Lace Mill galleries was envisioned by Artist-in-Residence, Lanette Kristin Hughes, who conceptualized a group show of work by local women artists. Hughes, who will be curating the exhibition, explains the show’s intention: “In the company of like-minded women, I have found the support, inspiration, and creativity not always forthcoming by myself alone. With the purpose of celebrating the woman expressed within each of us: the visual artists, poets, performance artists and musicians, are coming together to manifest this vision.”“WOMAN” will feature the work and performances of many local artists, including: Elga Antonsen: A poet, writer, and daughter of open Communists who stood strong against opposition during the McCarthy era, reading selections of her book about growing up in that era.Nicole J. Aulicino: A Kingston artist and Ulster County resident of 25 years, who creates from her home studio on Abeel Street.Dawn Bisio: Working in mixed media, film, and writing, examining identity and incongruous states of being.Holly Christiana: Writer and poet.Cheryl Crispell: Multi-media.Layla Cummings: A graphic designer who will be showing her paintings.Freya DeNitto: Painter.Clara Diamond: A performance artist working with dichotomy, impermanence, identity, and transformation, seeking to challenge the notion of impermanence by presenting the body, action, experience, memory, and story as art objects.Nancy Drew: Paintings.Helen Fogarty: Writing poems since she was 17, she will read from her recently published book, Mouth to Mouth.Lanette Kristin Hughes: Human rights visual artist.Dahlia Jarrett: A Jamamerican artist and art therapist who uses images, found objects and sculptural textures to “speak” to the eye, about feeling states and perspectives.Laura Katz: Always having a sort of wanderlust, her work in this show is inspired by her travels.Leticia Lacativa: Painter, oils.Kathryn McCarthy: A mixed media artist dedicated to the study of Carl Jung through artwork that explores Active Imagination, the Kabbalah and Tarot.Marie Mastronardo: Oil paintings.Meredith Morabito: Figure sculptor.Jevyn Nelms: A photographer specializing in lomography as well as a costume designer for film and theater.Nikki Pison: A clinical psychologist who explores cross-cultural archetypes through mixed media paintings and sculpture.Amy Reed: Writer, musician, and enthusiast of the visual arts.Sparrow (N. Smith): Award winning poet.Jean Tansey: Cultivating compassion and understanding about difficult topics through imagery.Charlotte Tusch: With work molded by the emotional and intellectual experiences of her life, atmospheric and mysterious in nature.ZELDA (aka Judith Z.

On April 10th at 5:30PM in Taylor Hall Room 203, Annelise Orleck of Dartmouth College will be delivering the C. Mildred Thompson Lecture, talking on her latest book, We Are All Fast-Food Workers Now: The Global Uprising Against Poverty Wages (2018). Tracing a new labor movement sparked and sustained by low-wage workers from across the globe, We Are All Fast-Food Workers Now is an urgent, illuminating look at globalization as seen through the eyes of workers/activists: small farmers, fast-food servers, retail workers, hotel housekeepers, home-healthcare aides, airport workers, and adjunct professors who are fighting for respect, safety, and a living wage. With original photographs by Liz Cooke and drawing on interviews with activists in many US cities and countries around the world, including Bangladesh, Cambodia, Mexico, South Africa, and the Philippines, it features stories of resistance and rebellion, as well as reflections on hope and change as it rises from the bottom up. Orleck is the author of five books and co-editor of two: Her first book, Common Sense and A Little Fire: Women and Working-Class Politics in the United States, originally came out in 1995 and a second edition was published in 2017. Her other books include Soviet Jewish Americans (1999) Storming Caesars’ Palace: How Black Mothers Fought Their Own War on Poverty and Rethinking American Women’s Activism (2014). She is co-editor of The Politics of Motherhood: Activist Voices from Left to Right (1997) and The War on Poverty, 1964-1980: A New Grassroots History (2011.) Sponsored by the History Department.
