SUMMARY:Zeitgeist: "For the Birds"
DESCRIPTION:Kracum Performance Hall\, Weitz Center for Creativity\n“For the Birds”-Performed by Zeitgeist\, Victor Zupanc and Kevin Kling.\nSponsored by the Northfield Arts Guild and Arts @ Carleton\nSeating is free and open to the public: no tickets required. \n\n\n\n\n\nCo-written in 2010 by composer Victor Zupanc and humorist Kevin Kling\, For the Birds is a concert length work that\, on the surface\, seems to be about birds. It features a series of musical pieces extolling the nature of each particular bird (sparrows\, roosters\, woodpeckers\, Canadian geese\, hawks)\, drawing parallels with our own human nature. Interspersed between\, is insightful storytelling created by Kling reflecting on childhood memories\, immigration\, illness\, accidents\, and healing. However\, just below the surface (but discernible to those that look)\, For the Birds is a work about that part of our human nature that compels us to reach beyond ourselves for more —more opportunity for our family\, more money\, more fun\, more speed\, more knowledge\, more love. When all goes well\, we call that need aspiration. When it doesn’t\, and we plunge to the earth with melting wings\, we call it hubris. Through utterly delightful music and a worldview only Kevin Kling can provide\, For the Birds gives us the space to contemplate our nature\, laugh at ourselves\, and heal.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nZeitgeist’s For the Birds tour is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board\, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBack to calendar\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKevin Kling is a well-known playwright and storyteller\, best known for his popular commentaries on National Public Radio’s All Things Considered. His storytelling stage shows like Tales from the Charred Underbelly of the Yule Log\, deliver hilarious\, often tender stories. Kling’s autobiographical tales are as enchanting as they are true to life: hopping freight trains\, getting hit by lightning\, performing his banned play in Czechoslovakia\, growing up in Minnesota\, and eating things before knowing what they are. \nKevin Kling describes his zodiac sign as “Minnesota with Iowa rising…” He grew up in Brooklyn Park and Maple Grove\, Minneapolis suburbs\, and graduated from Gustavus Adolphus College in 1979 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in theater. His storytelling started when a friend from the now defunct Brass Tacks Theatre asked him to perform his stories. Since then\, he has been awarded numerous arts grants and fellowships. The National Endowment for the Arts\, The McKnight Foundation\, The Minnesota State Arts Board\, The Bush Foundation\, The Jerome Foundation and others have recognized Kling’s artistry.  In 2014 Mayor RT Rybak named Kling “Minneapolis Story Laureate”. \nKevin was born with a congenital birth defect — his left arm is about three-quarters the size of his right arm\, and his left hand has no wrist or thumb  In 2001 Kevin was in a motorcycle accident and suffered brachial plexus injury (BPI). The brachial plexus nerves in his right arm were pulled completely out of their sockets. Currently\, he has partial use of his left arm and cannot use his right arm at all. Kevin Kling continues to write plays and stories in a rigorous fashion\, and travels around the globe to numerous storytelling festivals\, residencies\, and has been invited to perform the acclaimed National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough\, TN for several years. Kevin has released a number of compact disc collections of his stories\, has published five books\, “The Dog Says How”\, “Holiday Inn”\,  “Big Little Brother”\, “Big Little Mother” and “On Stage with Kevin Kling.” His plays and adaptations have been performed around the world. He lives in Minneapolis. \n\nVictor Zupanc\, born in Canada\, began his musical career studying violin and piano at the age of six at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Victoria\, British Columbia. After receiving his Bachelor of Music Degree at the University of Victoria he earned his Masters Degree in Music Composition at University of California at San Diego in 1983. \nSince 1983 Mr. Zupanc has been involved in over 300 theatrical productions as composer\, musical director\, sound designer and performer. He has worked at some of the most respected theaters in the country including The La Jolla Playhouse\, San Diego Rep\, Missouri Rep\, The Kennedy Center\, Berkeley Rep\, The Brooklyn Academy of Music\, The Joyce Theater\, SITI Company\, Playwright’s Horizons\, The Acting Company and New Victory Theater; in Minneapolis\, The Guthrie Theater\, Theatre de la Jeune Lune\, The Jungle Theatre and The Mixed Blood Theater. His music has been heard abroad in China\, Japan\, South America\, Great Britain\, Spain\, France\, Australia\, New Zealand and Canada. Artists that Mr. Zupanc has worked with include Des McAnuff\, Robert Woodruff\, Ann Bogart\, Marion McClinton\, Nilo Cruz\, Graciela Daniele\, Kevin Kling\, Bill Irwin\, Stephen Sondheim\, Randy Newman and David Byrne. \nMr. Zupanc is a two time recipient of The Theater Critics Circle Award for his theater scores (A Man’s A Man\, director: Robert Woodruff and Nineteen Fifty One\, director: Ann Bogart) and was twice awarded with a Hollywood DramaLogue Award for his work\, most notably for the acclaimed New York production of Romulus Linney’s Holy Ghost! \nIn 1989 he accepted and still retains the position of Music Director/Composer at the Tony Award winning Children’s Theater Company of Minneapolis (CTC). At CTC\, Mr. Zupanc composes scores and conducts orchestras comprised of the finest professional musicians in the country. \nLauded for providing “a once-in-a-lifetime experience for adventurous concertgoers\,” Zeitgeist is a new music chamber ensemble comprised of two percussion\, piano and woodwinds. One of the longest established new music groups in the country\, Zeitgeist commissions and presents a wide variety of new music for audiences in the Twin Cities and on tour. Always eager to explore new artistic frontiers\, Zeitgeist collaborates with poets\, choreographers\, directors\, visual artists and sound artists of all types to create imaginative new work that challenges the boundaries of traditional chamber music.

SUMMARY:Artist Reception @ Tandem Bagels
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an Artist Reception on Wednesday\, January 31 from 3:30 – 5 pm\nat Tandem Bagels.  Riki will have some additional paintings and prints on display; refreshments will be served. \n   \nA Few of My Favorite Things\nOctober 4\, 2017 – January 31\, 2018\nPaintings by Riki Kölbl Nelson\nArtist Statement\nI have been working as an artist for years\, taking and giving workshops and classes\, and exhibiting my work in personal and group shows here and abroad. \nOver the decades of making art I have explored a variety of themes and styles. For this exhibit I have  chosen a cross section: from micro close-ups of butterfly wings to memories of dresses. The unifying element is my interest in energy (élan vital\, chi) which underlies all things animate and inanimate and in good moments courses through my eye and hand. \nI have worked as artist in the schools and have given art lessons to students of all ages in my home/studio. I have taught in the Art Department and the Honor’s Program at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis\, also in the Split Rock Arts Program\, as well as in Elderhostels through St.Olaf College and in the Cannon Valley Elder Collegium. \nI have a long\, fruitful association with the Northfield Arts Guild and continue to teach a weekly art workshop at the Northfield Retirement Center\, open to its residents and to the wider community. \nRiki Kölbl Nelson \n  \nTandem Bagels  |  317 Division Street S.  |  Northfield\, MN 55057

Battling enormous obstacles\, including their own doubts and disagreements\, all arrive in Washington together\, asking: “Whose march is it?” and “What are the stakes?” \nWomen March on Washington is a new play in development and will be presented script-in-hand.

SUMMARY:Artist Reception
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an Artist Reception for About Time: Carleton & St. Olaf Colleges Fifth-Year EA Exhibition on Friday Feb 23 (7-9 pm) with Artist Talks at 7:30 pm.  Refreshments will be served.\nQuinn Batten \nCailan Carpenter \nHolland Hardie \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nLaura Nakasaka \nJosh Torkelson \nEvan Weselmann \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nAbout Time\nCarleton & St. Olaf Colleges Fifth-Year EA Exhibition\nFebruary 22 – March 17\, 2018\n  \nCarleton & St. Olaf Colleges Fifth-Year EA Exhibition \nEvery year following graduation\, a select group of senior art majors are invited to continue their studies at Carleton College and St. Olaf College as part of a Fifth-Year Educational Associate/ Emerging Artist program. The Northfield Arts Guild is proud to showcase these up-and-coming artists! \nThis exhibition features the following artists showing various pieces created during their Fifth-Year experience: \n\nQuinn Batten: Multi-media sculpture\nStand up and walk to the nearest wall. Hold your hand out and move it close to the wall\, as close as you can without touching it. Spend a moment on this task\, getting even closer. How does it feel to give your entire attention to that distance\, that relationship between your hand and the wall?\nComing from a background in photography and moving towards a focus on sculpture\, I find myself taking the photographer’s concept of the “frame” and applying it to space that we experience in ways other than sight— the space that we feel through touch and sound\, the space we remember\, the space we imagine.  My art invites viewers to refocus their attention and reframe their experience in compelling new ways. \nCailan Carpenter: Ceramic sculpture\nI am a ceramic artist and potter who combines my love for painting and carving with my love for clay to create decorated functional ware. My images are inspired by the nature that surrounded me during my upbringing in the boundary waters of northern Minnesota and the Cascade Mountains of Washington state. \nHolland Hardie: Painting and prints\nMy home in the mountains of West Texas has a long history of human habitation\, and each group that occupied this region left their stories painted on the rocks. These stories stretch back over 5\,000 years\, and as cultures appeared and disappeared over the centuries\, so did the knowledge of each culture’s unique symbolism. The abstract designs of the region’s earliest inhabitants had already lost their meaning a thousand years before Jesus was born\, replaced by the new symbols of a new culture — symbolism is an inherently transient form of communication. In this piece\, I play around with that idea\, drawing from more modern symbolism such as Christian iconography to create my own language of symbols. These symbols explore my connection to my home and add a temporary chapter to a 5\,000 year story\, written in a language that will almost certainly die with me. \nLaura Nakasaka: Prints\, photography and books\nI have spent a lot of time this year thinking about time—how time is deceiving\, how time is remembered\, and the inescapable question of how time is best spent. My experimentation attempts to visualize the passage of time at this point in my life\, mapping memories both reliable and unreliable through prints\, drawings\, and photographs. Currently I work at Carleton College in the library and art department. \nJosh Torkelson: Sculpture\nErratic is inspired by naturally occurring glacial erratics\, rocks transported from their native bedrock hundreds of miles by the movement of ancient glaciers. The embedded presence of these rocks in their foreign landscapes mirror their own temporal positions bridging time from their geological formation and later glacial deposition\, to our own contemporary human interactions among them. In creating new erratics out of clay\, I push us to examine and consider our own place in this history. \nEvan Weselmann: Painting\nEvan is a painter and illustrator whose work deals with the intersection of digital image making modes in a contemporary analog capacity. \n\n\n  \n  \nExhibition Sponsors: \n \n\n\n2017-18 Gallery Season sponsored by:

SUMMARY:Lucy Kaplansky: 411
DESCRIPTION:Part of our 2017-18 411 Music Concert Series\n\nPerformance: Saturday\, March 3\, 2018 at 7:30 pm \nVenue: Northfield Arts Guild Theater\, 411 Third Street W.\, Northfield \n\nTickets:  $25.00 General Admission   \n  \n\nShe started out singing in Chicago bars. Then\, barely out of high school\, Lucy Kaplansky took off for New York City. There she found a fertile community of songwriters and performers—Suzanne Vega\, Steve Forbert\, The Roches\, and others. With a beautiful flair for harmony\, Lucy was everyone’s favorite singing partner\, but most often she found herself singing as a duo with Shawn Colvin. People envisioned big things for them; in fact\, The New York Times said it was “easy to predict stardom for her.” \n\nLucy continues to perform all over the world. When not performing\, she lives in New York City\, where she enjoys spending time with her husband and nine year-old daughter. \nRead more about Lucy Kaplansky. \nMany Thanks to our 2017-18 411 Concert Series sponsors: \n \nBeverage sponsor:
