SUMMARY:What Is A Ward?
DESCRIPTION:What defines a Ward\, or in a more modern sense of the word\, a neighborhood? Sabine Street Studios is located in Houston’s historic First Ward\, meaning the first developed in Houston. As artists and creatives we all come from different backgrounds and heritages\, as does our practice. But this practice has a shared sense of personal belonging\, of representing us and ourselves. Can a neighborhood have an identity when it is made up of diverse peoples and backgrounds? Or is it just a geographic definition\, delineated by streets and bayous?\nFor this tenant exhibition\, artists were asked: “How does your Ward fit within your studio practice? Is the idea of “home” something which inspires you creatively\, or a place of rest and comfort?” The exhibition is on view in the South Gallery through July 14.

SUMMARY:Wells Fargo Presents Juneteenth: A Musical Journey Through Eras
DESCRIPTION:Juneteenth: A Musical Journey Through Eras” offers a poignant exploration of Black music’s evolution across two immersive evenings\, highlighting the soulful expressions of Classic R&B\, Blues\, Inspirational\, Hip Hop\, and more.\nOn June 14th\, the journey commences with a retrospective spanning 1960 to 1980. Audiences are enveloped in the spiritual resonance of Gospel\, resonating with the resilience and hope of a community seeking liberation. The evening progresses to the seductive allure of Classic R&B\, with its smooth melodies and heartfelt lyrics echoing the era’s social upheavals and quest for equality. Blues takes its rightful place\, infusing the atmosphere with raw emotion and introspection\, serving as both a reflection of struggle and a beacon of resilience during the Civil Rights Movement.\nAs the journey continues on June 15th\, the spotlight shifts to the dynamic years from 1980 to 2000. Here\, Hip Hop emerges as a powerful force for social change\, blending gritty narratives with infectious beats to chronicle the realities of urban life and systemic injustices. Alongside Hip Hop’s vibrant energy\, the evening embraces the lush harmonies and passionate rhythms of R&B\, showcasing its evolution and enduring impact on popular culture. Additionally\, other genres enrich the musical tapestry\, providing glimpses into the diverse expressions of Black artistry during this transformative period.\nThroughout both evenings\, “Juneteenth: A Musical Journey Through Eras” pays homage to the indomitable spirit of Black communities\, celebrating their triumphs\, resilience\, and cultural heritage. Each song serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of music as a vehicle for social change and collective healing. Join us on this unforgettable odyssey\, where every note reverberates with the timeless essence of freedom and the pursuit of justice.\nMiller Theatre Advisory Board and Wells Fargo present tonight’s performance of Juneteenth at Miller with additional support from Houston First and Walker Entertainment Group.\nAll performances at Miller Outdoor Theatre are FREE!

SUMMARY:Beetlejuice
DESCRIPTION:He earned his stripes on Broadway… now the ghost-with-the-most is coming to Austin.\nIt’s showtime! Based on Tim Burton’s dearly beloved film\, this hilarious musical tells the story of Lydia Deetz\, a strange and unusual teenager whose whole life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and a demon with a thing for stripes. With an irreverent book\, an astonishing set\, and a score that’s out of this Netherworld\, BEETLEJUICE is “SCREAMINGLY GOOD FUN!” (Variety). And under its uproarious surface (six feet under\, to be exact)\, it’s a remarkably touching show about family\, love\, and making the most of every Day-O!\nBeetlejuice contains strong language\, mature references\, and a lot of the crazy\, inappropriate stuff you would expect from a deranged demon. Recommended for ages 13 and up.\nPresented by the Memorial Hermann Broadway at the Hobby Center

SUMMARY:Four Seasons
DESCRIPTION:Tschaikovsky Pas de Deux\nChoreography: George Balanchine\nMusic: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky\nElapse\nChoreography: Disha Zhang\nMusic: Zeng Xiaogang\nWorld Premiere\nDwight Rhoden\nThe Four Seasons\nChoreography: Stanton Welch AM\nMusic: Antonio Vivaldi\nOur season comes to a close with Four Seasons\, featuring four choreographers\, each with their own distinct style. After a critically-acclaimed debut in 2019\, Disha Zhang’s Elapse returns to the stage for an encore not to be missed. Exploring the idea of aging and the passage of time\, her first piece choreographed for an American company is set to a captivating original score by Zeng Xiaogang. George Balanchine’s Tschaikovsky Pas de Deux is described by New York City Ballet as “an eight-minute display of ballet bravura and technique.” Welch’s The Four Seasons dramatizes the stages of a woman’s life from the vigor of youth in spring to the introspection of old age in winter. Set to Antonio Vivaldi’s beloved score of the same name\, the large ensemble work returns for the first time since its premiere in 2007. Rounding out the program is a world premiere by Dwight Rhoden\, Founding Artistic Director and Resident Choreographer of Complexions Contemporary Ballet – his first for Houston Ballet.

SUMMARY:Beyond Broadway Series: Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age
DESCRIPTION:In Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age\, he covers all the bases: sex\, death and bacchanalia\, with a set list as eclectic as the man himself. Songs from Cabaret authors Kander and Ebb blend with contemporary favourites and even a self-penned paean against plastic surgery. ‘I am literally the only person on American TV who has not had botox!’ he quips. He also discusses the effects of gravity\, the time the mum from the Brady Bunch punched him\, and what his dog taught him about the quality of life.

SUMMARY:Cian Dayrit: Liberties Were Taken
DESCRIPTION:The Blaffer Art Museum is proud to present Liberties Were Taken the first solo museum exhibition in the United States of works by Manila-based artist Cian Dayrit.

SUMMARY:Cian Dayrit: Liberties Were Taken
DESCRIPTION:The phrase “counter-cartographies” describes Manila-based artist Cian Dayrit interdisciplinary practice of transforming historic maps into portraits of contemporary social conditions. Employing counter- cartography as an approach\, Dayrit charts histories of imperialism\, industrialization\, and systems of subjugation that shape geographical boundaries and cultural narratives around the world. In Summer 2024\, Blaffer will present Dayrit’s first solo museum exhibition in the United States with embroidered tapestries\, paintings\, and sculpture.

SUMMARY:Gabriel Lester: Odeon
DESCRIPTION:The Blaffer Art Museum is proud to present the first solo museum exhibition in the United States of preeminent European artist Gabriel Lester\, who has gained an international standing for his art\, performance\, and film as well as his dynamic public art installations. Across his now decades-long career\, Lester has developed a captivating cinematic lens through which to see and imagine the world – consistently locating wonder in the seemingly stolid and mundane. For this exhibition Lester is most interested in the interplay between light and shadow\, as well as the seen and unseen\, as he responds to Houston and the fossil fuel industry that so deeply sheathes the region.\nIn the title installation StarStruck\, a dark\, viscous pool of oil is continually interrupted by droplets of water and corresponding flares of brilliant light – piercing a thick chamber of shadow with illuminating transmission. This waking effect is further articulated in the neighboring video sculpture Cosmic Call\, where the artist chases amorphous scenes of the universe through effervescent\, yet ultra low-resolution LED monitors to create a mesmerizing\, if highly elusive display. The capacity for light to simultaneously lead and lose us is expanded in the charmingly immersive installation How to Act as flickering colors surround us – pulsing to the soundtracks of various genres of film and television. The result is familiar and uncanny at once\, evoking the abstract languages of televisual entertainment while also making them strange and disorienting. Early modes of cinema flash before our eyes in the adjacent series Jump Cut\, where methodically rotating cubes house a variety of laser cut tableaux – coming into focus just long enough to dance away\, over and over again. Persistence of vision and retinal residue accumulates here\, propelling the art to work as much before your eyes\, as within and behind them. The final installation marries optical with environmental effect as rays of sun shine through the increasingly perforated ebony towers of Bambaataa\, projecting floating holo-graphic cubes that speak to the fleetingness of so-called structure. Taken and received as a whole\, this exhibition pierces heavy\, weighted geometries and their absolutes with the delightful\, if perplexing magic of discovery.
