SUMMARY:Centered Mindfulness exhibition opens
DESCRIPTION:CENTERED MINDFULNESS\nJULY 23– AUG 29\, 2020\n\n\n\n\n\nThis exhibition features installation works by six regional artists Marilyn Larson\, Tim Lloyd\, John Saurer\, Jan Shoger\, Elizabeth Simonson and Michon Weeks. Each artist has developed a specific visual language that aims to shift viewers’ perspective toward a more meditative view of the world\, either through repetitive forms\, mathematical theories\, grid systems or circular structures. \n  \nWatch a recording of the Virtual Reception that was held on August 6\, 2020 to celebrate the artists. See a slideshow of artwork and hear remarks from the featured artists followed by an artist Q & A portion. \n\n\n\n\n\nSEE EXHIBITION VIDEOS AND PHOTOS\n\n\n\n\n\nFEATURED ARTISTS:\nMarilyn Larson \n\n \n\nMarilyn Larson is a Minneapolis-based artist\, ceremonialist\, and labyrinth maker. Since 1996 she has been building contemplative labyrinths for wall\, floor and outdoors. Labyrinths have been found worldwide over the past 5\,000 years. Patterns found in nature are reflected in walkable art called labyrinths. A labyrinth is an enclosed meandering path that leads into a center and out again. A sacred space is created each time we trace the form of a labyrinth with eyes\, fingers\, or feet.  A labyrinth is also a mirror and a listening device. Intentions set upon entering the image invite response. Wherever found\, labyrinths continue to offer an opportunity to experience a pace that can bring inner peace. Like the meandering movement of a river that revitalizes water\, the ever-turning\, rhythmical walk of a labyrinth calls forth clarity. \n\n\n\nTim Lloyd \n\n \n\nTim Lloyd is a Northfield artist whose ideas come from nature\, and whose work has always made reference to some aspect of the natural world. \nBoreal Studies\, a series.\nDrawing for me has always been a way to get into the mind of an artist. Without the intent of making a work of art the direct activity putting marks on a surface gets close to the thinking of a person. It’s something like what I like to say “picking the brain of another human”.This series of drawings of trees from an area of Minnesota’s Arrowhead gives this group of graphite drawings “ a sense of place” not only of boreal species\, that of old growth White Pine\, White Spruce\, and Balsam Fir\, but of my intent to describe the trees. I hope too that they also give a glimpse of my thought process. I love graphite as a tool for mark making\, for me its’ spontaneity conveys how I’m mindful as I draw. \n\nJohn Saurer \n\n\n \n\nI created this monoprint series of over 100 impressions of simple objects collected at my feet\, off the ground (natural and man-made\, beautiful and ugly). I am intrigued by the “multiple” and the potential to construct a larger composition from a single print matrix and the “ghosts” of previous impressions as the series moves forward. \nMy artwork is a metaphor for order: sometimes re-expressing order found in the landscape\, a mechanical process\, the rhythm of form\, personal relationships\, and the life around me. Each work is often a collaboration of many independent parts that are crafted to come together and express a larger whole. \n\n\n\nJan Shoger \n\n \n\nMy sketchbooks are chock full of drawings of natural phenomena: logs caught in a stream\, bird’s nests\, cells magnified 2500 times by the scanning electron microscope\, rock formations\, trees hanging tenaciously to nearly bare rock\, great blue herons\, twisted thistles\, driftwood fragments\, seeds picked up on a walk\, shells found at ocean’s edge\, organic shadows from plants\, striated stones or weathered bones. \nShadows\nWintry\, distorted shadows of tree\, shrubs\, grasses\,\nFall across the white undulations on the hill behind the house\nThe mind focuses\, empties of all thoughts\nWhat I see\, feel\, at this moment is all that matters\nTotally caught up\, charcoal marks are made\, responding to what I see\, what I take in\nHand and eye movements merge\nSpontaneous\, meditative\, gestures quickly mark the paper. \n\nElizabeth Simonson \n\n\n \n\n My work is structured through the creation of repetitive systems. Where better can this order be found than in the building blocks of life? From simple molecular structures to complex organisms\, life grows blindly\, motivated by creating self sustaining structures that foster survival. I see my work as an aspect of nature. \nIt was not my intention to create system-based art\, but I feel that abstraction and the use of logic\, systems and patterns is a powerful language\, and it is important to me that the viewer has an accessible path to share in my exploration of it. I use common everyday materials like tape\, wire\, beads\, tiles\, fishing line\, office supplies or anything that comes in multiples as my inspiration. One pattern may involve covering from ceiling to floor\, a wall or room with consecutive rows of tape. Each successive layer conforms to the imperfections of the previous row where by a subtle crease evolves into a voluminous shape. The enormous task of both building and attaching the units underscores the complex relationship between a rigid and fixed system with the limitations of the material and the maker. \n\n\nMichon Weeks \n \n\nDrawings: Airplane\, Boombox\, Car\nAs an artist\, I work to see as concretely as possible what my mind can think and imagine. Inspiration can come from anything and anywhere: things\, thoughts\, memories\, sensations\, etc. My collection of subjects for this group of drawings came from direct conversations with my choir mates at St. Peter’s in Northfield\, MN. I asked my fellow singers questions about themselves. What is important to you? How do you spend your time? What are your prized possessions? Often\, their answers yielded specific objects–a sewing machine\, a stocking cap\, an airplane\, a ring\, etc. I draw to see a materialized view of each object distilled through my ink\, tools\, hands\, brain\, senses\, heart\, and gut. I made many of the drawings within a grid of lines or dots. The grid provides a field where I can find imagery and avoid dishonest marks. Blocky-shaped objectsalong with my mistakes\, edits\, and dabs of unpolished doubt are unconcealed in the drawings. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEXHIBITION CATALOG

SUMMARY:FREE Workshop: Writing as Excavation
DESCRIPTION:The Northfield Arts Guild hosts…\nWriting as Excavation\nTHIS WORKSHOP IS NOW FULL! To be added to the wait list\, please email Megan Proft at megan@northfieldartsguild.org . \nIn this free\, immersive workshop\, you’ll use generative exercises to unearth the stories within us that are awaiting disclosure and discovery. Exploring new imaginative terrain can be intimidating. Yet it is the writer’s task to peel back layers\, pursue deeper truths\, and see past the surface of the familiar. Using writing prompts that operate as invitations\, you’ll excavate past creative blocks\, find permission to articulate interior worlds\, and locate the heart of our stories in order to bring them to life. \n Please bring to class the following items:  \n\nSomething to write with or on: notebook\, pen\, laptop.\nA spirit of creativity\, a sense of openness\, and a willingness to explore new depths in your writing.\n\n The workshop will be guided in its work by the words of Gaston Bachelard: “When it comes to excavated ground\, dreams have no limit.” \n  \nThis workshop is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant\, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund. Although free of charge for all participants\, donations ($10 suggested) are welcome and gratefully received. \n About Lara Palmqvist\n \nLara Palmqvist is the recipient of a 2019 Minnesota State Arts Board Artist Initiative Grant and a 2019 Elizabeth George Foundation grant for emerging writers. She was a 2017-2018 Fiction Fellow in the Loft Literary Center Mentor Series. Her writing appears in platforms such as The Washington Post and Ploughshares.com\, and has additionally been honored with awards from the Kimmel-Harding-Nelson Center for the Arts\, Ox-Bow School of Art\, Marble House Project\, the Saari Residence in Finland\, the Sozopol Fiction Seminars in Bulgaria\, the Jerome Foundation\, the Kone Foundation\, and the U.S. Fulbright Commission\, through which she taught creative writing at the Ivan Franko National University and Chernivtsi National University in Ukraine. Learn more at www.larapalmqvist.com.

The class\, led by Joe Chvala\, begins with improvisations and exercises that teach some of the methods the Flying Foot Forum uses to create their dances.

SUMMARY:Lend Me a Tenor Auditions
DESCRIPTION:Audition Announcement!\nThe Northfield Arts Guild and director Marc Robinson are hosting auditions for our winter production of Ken Ludwig’s Lend Me a Tenor!\nAudition dates are Thursday\, October 17th\, from 6-8pm and Saturday\, October 19th\, from 2-4pm\, with potential callbacks on Sunday\, October 20th\, from 4-6pm \nRehearsals will start after the holiday season\, with performances scheduled for February 14-16 and February 21-23\, 2020. \nPerformers of all genders\, abilities\, races\, ethnicities\, and experience levels are encouraged to audition. We look forward to meeting new performers and seeing familiar faces! \nAbout the show:  \nSaunders\, the general manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company\, is primed to welcome world-famous Tito Morelli\, known as Il Stupendo\, the greatest tenor of his generation\, to appear for one night only as Pagliacci. The star arrives late and\, through a hilarious series of mishaps\, is given a double dose of tranquilizers and passes out. His pulse is so low that Saunders and his assistant\, Max\, believe he’s dead. In a frantic attempt to salvage the evening\, Saunders persuades Max to get into Morelli’s Pagliacci costume and fool the audience into thinking he’s Il Stupendo. Max succeeds admirably\, but Morelli comes to and gets into his other costume\, ready to perform. Now two Pagliaccis are running around in costume and two women are head over heels\, each thinking she is with Il Stupendo. A sensation on Broadway and in London’s West End\, this madcap\, screwball comedy is guaranteed to leave audiences teary-eyed with laughter. \nCharacters \n\nHenry Saunders – The Cleveland Grand Opera’s general manager. Father to Maggie. A blowhard who often loses his temper at the slightest mishap.\nMax – Saunders’ long-suffering assistant\, who is forced to take Tito’s place.\nMaggie Saunders – Saunders’ daughter\, and Max’s girlfriend; she has great admiration for Tito.\nTito Merelli – The world’s most renowned opera tenor\, and notorious ladies man.\nMaria – Tito’s long-suffering wife\, with an “Italian temper”. Leaves Tito early in the play\, but ultimately returns to him. Loves Tito\, despite his philandering.\nDiana – The opera’s ingenue soprano\, who is “flinging her way” to the top. A seductive woman (and she knows it).\nJulia – Chairwoman of the Cleveland Opera Guild\, who considers herself a “grande dame.”\nThe Bellhop – A comic relief character who has an ongoing feud with Saunders. An obnoxious opera fan\, the Bellhop keeps showing up at the hotel suite at the wrong moment\, trying to get an autograph and a photo of Tito Merelli.\n\nActors will be asked to read in pairs and trios from the script which will be emailed ahead of time when an audition slot is confirmed. Memorization is not required. \nAny men interested in the roles of Max\, Tito Merelli\, or the Bellhop should also prepare a short operatic piece to sing a capella (any song sung operatically – if it’s Hotel California operatically\, that’s great!) \nTo sign-up for a half hour audition slot\, please email Performing Arts Manager Jared Zeigler at jared@northfieldartsguild.org \nQuestions can also be sent there. We look forward to seeing you!

DESCRIPTION:Audition Announcement!\nThe Northfield Arts Guild and director Marc Robinson are hosting auditions for our winter production of Ken Ludwig’s Lend Me a Tenor!\nAudition dates are Thursday\, October 17th\, from 6-8pm and Saturday\, October 19th\, from 2-4pm\, with potential callbacks on Sunday\, October 20th\, from 4-6pm \nRehearsals will start after the holiday season\, with performances scheduled for February 14-16 and February 21-23\, 2020. \nPerformers of all genders\, abilities\, races\, ethnicities\, and experience levels are encouraged to audition. We look forward to meeting new performers and seeing familiar faces! \nAbout the show:  \nSaunders\, the general manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company\, is primed to welcome world-famous Tito Morelli\, known as Il Stupendo\, the greatest tenor of his generation\, to appear for one night only as Pagliacci. The star arrives late and\, through a hilarious series of mishaps\, is given a double dose of tranquilizers and passes out. His pulse is so low that Saunders and his assistant\, Max\, believe he’s dead. In a frantic attempt to salvage the evening\, Saunders persuades Max to get into Morelli’s Pagliacci costume and fool the audience into thinking he’s Il Stupendo. Max succeeds admirably\, but Morelli comes to and gets into his other costume\, ready to perform. Now two Pagliaccis are running around in costume and two women are head over heels\, each thinking she is with Il Stupendo. A sensation on Broadway and in London’s West End\, this madcap\, screwball comedy is guaranteed to leave audiences teary-eyed with laughter. \nCharacters \n\nHenry Saunders – The Cleveland Grand Opera’s general manager. Father to Maggie. A blowhard who often loses his temper at the slightest mishap.\nMax – Saunders’ long-suffering assistant\, who is forced to take Tito’s place.\nMaggie Saunders – Saunders’ daughter\, and Max’s girlfriend; she has great admiration for Tito.\nTito Merelli – The world’s most renowned opera tenor\, and notorious ladies man.\nMaria – Tito’s long-suffering wife\, with an “Italian temper”. Leaves Tito early in the play\, but ultimately returns to him. Loves Tito\, despite his philandering.\nDiana – The opera’s ingenue soprano\, who is “flinging her way” to the top. A seductive woman (and she knows it).\nJulia – Chairwoman of the Cleveland Opera Guild\, who considers herself a “grande dame.”\nThe Bellhop – A comic relief character who has an ongoing feud with Saunders. An obnoxious opera fan\, the Bellhop keeps showing up at the hotel suite at the wrong moment\, trying to get an autograph and a photo of Tito Merelli.\n\nActors will be asked to read in pairs and trios from the script which will be emailed ahead of time when an audition slot is confirmed. Memorization is not required. \nAny men interested in the roles of Max\, Tito Merelli\, or the Bellhop should also prepare a short operatic piece to sing a capella (any song sung operatically – if it’s Hotel California operatically\, that’s great!) \nTo sign-up for a half hour audition slot\, please email Performing Arts Manager Jared Zeigler at jared@northfieldartsguild.org \nQuestions can also be sent there. We look forward to seeing you!
