SUMMARY:Fundamentals of Figure Drawing
DESCRIPTION:Figure drawing is one of the basic skills all artists should have. I have developed a formula to teach drawing the human body that ensures most people are successful after just a few lessons. The first step is the stickman\, then we look at the fundamental areas of bulk in the body\, and finally\, there is “bubble boy”. Once you have mastered “bubble boy\,” we will continue to smooth out the form. \nLevel A – All levels welcome. \n\nAges 16-Adult

SUMMARY:Line Work and Glowing Watercolor
DESCRIPTION:In this class\, we will bring the line work of drawing and the luminosity of watercolor together in this addictive technique. We will practice layering sections of color to represent shapes or draw first and drop in paint. Or try the experimental approach by throwing paint randomly and allowing it to speak to you. Matched or mismatched\, the results will add interest and movement to your painting. Finish by adding details like layering more paint or more drawing. The choice is yours! \nLevel II – This class is for those who have taken at least one class in the medium. Students should be comfortable with the basics of how to use and manipulate the medium. \n\nAges 16–Adult

SUMMARY:Eiko Otake at the Historic Evergreen Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:A Conversation & Performance with Eiko Otake & David Harrington\n6 p.m. Cemetery as a Place for Art and Reflection:\nPublic talk with Harry Weil\, Vice-President of Education and Public Programs\, Green-Wood Cemetery\, Brooklyn\, NY\nPreceding the With the Dead performance\, this a public talk will draw attention to cemeteries as contemplative and complex sites in which history\, memories\, community\, and artistry converge. Harry Weil will converse with Evergreen Cemetery Director Cheryl D. Godbout and Dianne Hartshorn representing Heritage Evergreen. \nCemeteries are places of memory and contemplation\, where a community’s stories and histories lie\, where we are reminded of our mortality. During the pandemic\, Eiko performed in two cemeteries to reflect on and converse with the dead. \nYou can’t really come to the cemetery and not think about death or the people who have died. We know more about living. But we all die. I thought that performing was my practice of dying. But the practice of dying is not dying. We learn about death by attending to other people’s dying. But we also learn about death by missing the dead. —Eiko Otake \n7 p.m. With the Dead\nperformance\nAs Eiko Otake’s six-month exhibition at the Fine Art Center at Colorado College nears its closing on July 30\, Eiko will return to Colorado Springs with David Harrington\, the artistic director and founder of the world-renowned Kronos Quartet. Their long-time friendship is matched by their international recognition as some of the most notable performing artists working today. With the Dead is an adaptation of Otake’s 2020 performance at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn\, NY. Colorado Springs community members and former students of Eiko will join these two distinguished artists in their performance at the historic Evergreen Cemetery so we can collectively reflect on dying and the dead. \nI dance thinking about the recent dead\, and the dead from the past centuries\, including many whose graves were never built. —Eiko Otake \n8 p.m. Reception\nEiko and David will talk with audience members and participants. \n\nIn celebration of Otake’s solo exhibition I Invited Myself\, vol. II\, the Department of Theater and Dance at Colorado College is hosting a series of two-day events in the Colorado Springs community. \nAll events are free and open to the public. \n\nA Friendship in Motion\nWith the rich collaborative history between Kronos Quartet and Eiko & Koma\, David continues to gift Eiko with his sound for her media works including the pieces shown currently at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College. In February of this year\, Eiko created eyes closed\, a new piece she performed with Kronos Quartet at Carnegie Hall which was hailed by the New York Times as “spectacularly imaginative.” The coming collaboration marks David’s first time performing with Eiko as a solo violinist. \n\nDavid Harrington\nThe Kronos Quartet has broken the boundaries of what string quartets do. —The New York Times \nDavid Harrington is the artistic director\, founder and violinist of the Kronos Quartet. For 50 years\, San Francisco’s Kronos Quartet has combined a spirit of fearless exploration with a commitment to continually reimagine the string quartet experience. \nIn the process\, Kronos has become one of the most celebrated and influential groups of our era\, performing thousands of concerts worldwide\, releasing more than 70 recordings of extraordinary breadth and creativity\, and collaborating with many of the world’s most accomplished composers and performers. \nThrough its nonprofit organization\, Kronos Performing Arts Association (KPAA)\, Kronos has commissioned more than 1\,000 works and arrangements for string quartet —including the recently completed 50 for the Future library of free\, educational repertoire. Kronos has received more than 40 awards\, including three Grammy Awards and the Polar Music\, Avery Fisher\, and Edison Klassiek Oeuvre Prizes—among the most prestigious awards given to musicians. \nEiko Otake\nOtake dances with a stillness at once excruciating and exquisite. —Jill J. Tan for Guernica  \nBorn and raised in Japan and a resident of New York since 1976\, Eiko Otake is a movement-based\, interdisciplinary artist. She worked for more than 40 years as Eiko & Koma\, but since 2014 has been working on her own projects. \nEiko has performed her solo project\, A Body in Places\, at over 70 sites\, including Danspace Project PLATFORM and three full-day performances at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 2017\, she launched The Duet Project\, a series of experiments with a diverse range of artists both living and dead. For the occasion of the 20-year anniversary of 9/11\, Eiko presented her monologue Slow Turn. \nSince 2014\, Eiko and photographer historian William Johnston visited irradiated Fukushima several times to capture photographs of her dancing in Fukushima. A Body in Fukushima\, the book\, was published in 2021\, and Eiko edited a film of the same name\, which premiered at MoMA’s Doc Fortnight 2022. \nEiko is the recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship\, Doris Duke Award\, Scripps American Dance Festival Award\, and a Bessie’s Awards and its special citation.

Their repertoire includes old-time traditional ballads like Shady Grove and St.James Infirmary as well as sounds from European cultures\, mainly that of Romania (hence the duo’s name) yet the music of Roma Ransom is distinctly their own. The sultry sweetness of Grace Easley on vocals paired with the couples’ vast instrumental array combine to form a style that can fit the mood for any setting. The couple was trained classically from an early age\, (Grace on violin/viola\, Gordon on guitar) making them an excellent choice for weddings and banquets in addition to their usual venues\, namely restaurants\, coffee shops and pubs. \n\nDavid Harrington\nThe Kronos Quartet has broken the boundaries of what string quartets do. —The New York Times \nDavid Harrington is the artistic director\, founder and violinist of the Kronos Quartet.
