Tuesday, November 03, 2009

Students from 50 Penn State sororities and fraternities showed off some impressive talents in music and dance on Sunday, Nov. 1, in the annual "Greek Sing," held in a sold-out Eisenhower Auditorium. The Greek Sing a talent show in which members of two or three IFC/Panhel organizations team up to perform selections from Broadway musicals. Each team performs for six to eight minutes, then there's a quick change-over, then the next team is on. So, in the course of three hours, audience members saw performances from 19 different Broadway shows. To read more about the event, visit Tina Hay's Penn Stater blog at http://pennstatermag.com/2009/11/02/penn-state-greeks-strut-their-broadway-stuff/ and to see pictures, visit http://live.psu.edu/stilllife/2176 online.

Exhibit highlights the first American abstract painter -- an engineer

Exhibit highlights the first American abstract painter -- an engineer
Tuesday, November 03, 2009

The first American artist to paint an abstract painting was civil engineer Manierre Dawson (1887-1969). His profession, far from a deterrent to his creativity, was his primary source of inspiration, especially during the formative years of his career. "Manierre Dawson: Engineer/Artist," an exhibit, traces the evolution of his work and shows how elements of his paintings leading up to and including his first abstractions and his conception of abstract art itself are directly related to his civil engineering training. The exhibit is the result of 10 years of research by Penn State Alumnus Randy Ploog and is on display through Jan. 8, in the Diversity Studies Room at 109 Pattee Library. (more)

Tuesday, October 27, 2009

Members of the Dizzy GIllespie All Star Band, in town to perform at Penn State's Eisenhower Auditorium on Wednesday, Oct. 28, visited State College Area High School on Tuesday, Oct. 27, as part of Penn State's Center for the Performing Arts' (CPA) educational outreach mission. Led by John Lee (bass), band members James Moody (saxophone), Cyrus Chestnut (piano), Greg Gisbert (trumpet), Willie Jones III (drumset) and Duke Lee (auxiliary percussion) listened to the high school musicians play two songs they're learning for an upcoming competition, and then offered their insights on how to refine what they were playing. The professionals also sat in with the high schoolers, playing alongside them, and finished the afternoon with a performance of their own. For photos, visit http://live.psu.edu/stilllife/2169 online.
