The Intersectional Events Team is partnering with the UO Theatre Arts to bring Crystal Roman of Black Latina to bring two separate workshops (on Thursday night and Friday afternoon) for students! Here's the details on the Thursday night workshop: Crystal Roman, creator of the Black Latina Movement (BLM), will host a workshop on what it is to be a "Black Latinidad in the USA" at 6:30 pm in the EMU's Crater Lake Room North. The Black Latina Movement is a vibrant grassroots theater and film production company based in NYC. The BLM endeavors to make the entertainment industry culturally and artistically richer. BLM's open platform provides artists of all kinds the opportunity to create, write, produce or perform while promotion our local communities as diverse, inclusive places where people want to live, work, and visit. Crystal wrote what is now the company’s signature piece Black Latina (The Play) as an outlet of her frustration in being in an industry that boxed actresses into categories based on a look. That along with her own personal plight of this dual identity spawned the creation of the platform for the success of the play, which in turn sparked the creation of the Movement as a company. Join us for this inspiring and interactive workshop! (if you can't make this workshop see the second one offered on Friday Oct 19, 2:30 pm in Mills International Center of EMU: "Beauty: Double Standards, Appropriation, and Reclamation.)

Auden which depicts the wild and soul-searching adventures of young people on a night out in New York City. Beethoven’s Eighth, his shortest symphony, has infectious energy and boundless optimism. Oregon composer David Schiff’s perfectly titled Stomp sets the mood for a thrilling evening of music.

Estas Tonne’s upcoming tour reaches followers of bold guitar music and unique art and culture, as well as spiritual well-being.
Through his music, Estas Tonne invites people to close their eyes, open their hearts and dive into a sacred space where one can experience music in the purest form. Estas Tonne’s “Song of the Golden Dragon” has surpassed 40 million views on YouTube. As a modern-day Troubadour, he travels to countless places and finds himself in several cultural references without identifying himself with a single nation or country, rather with the cultural richness of the world. His music is therefore a reflection of a classical structure, with the technique of Flamenco, Gypsy roots, and characteristics of Latin & electronic soundscapes.

Presented by Ballet Fantastique
Live music: Live Honkytonk Piano
All-original new choreography: Donna + Hannah Bontrager, choreographer-producers
Escape with us: As You Like It: A Wild West Ballet is Ballet Fantastique’s indomitable spin on one of Shakespeare’s sweetest romantic comedies, most recently performed by the company to critical acclaim in San Benedetto, Italy. Choreographer-producers Donna Marisa and Hannah Bontrager open their ballet with a sepia silent film to set up our backstory, the banjo-playing character of Touchstone (brilliant actor-musician Adam Goldthwaite) narrates in Shakespearean verse—with a Western twang—and live honkytonk saloon piano (with hits from American composers including Gershwin, Copland, and Kay) sets the score. Fusing the formality of classical ballet with the rambunctious candor and color of the American West, Ballet Fantastique spins Shakespeare’s tale of lovers in disguise, troubadours in trouble, and clever Rosie’s brave escape to a land of possibility, where Sheriff Frederick’s menace gives way to hope, re-invention, poetry, and love.
Ballet Fantastique’s As You Like It: A Wild West Ballet will steal your heart and lift your spirits. This is ballet and Shakespeare like you’ve never seen it before.
Performance Dates & Times:

Presented by the Latinx Strategies Group, the Black Strategies Group, and the Dept. of Theatre Arts:
Black Latina the Play is the journey of one woman’s struggle to identify with two heritages, two cultures: Afrodescendent and Latinx. Tackling external factors (such as society and the media) and internal factors (such as the opinions of family and friends) Black Latina the Play shares a first-hand look at the experiences and emotions of people who are constantly overlooked. Black Latina the Play goes beyond the “traditional” black/white ideas of racism in the US to exposes the complex internalized racisms found among African Americans, Hispanics, and Black Latinx.

Today, Complexions represents one of the most recognized and respected performing arts brands in the World. Having presented an entirely new and exciting vision of human movement on 5-continents, over 20-countries, to over 20-million television viewers and to well over 300,000 people in live audiences, Complexions is poised to continue its mission of bring unity to the world one dance at a time.
Complexions has received numerous awards including The New York Times Critics’ Choice Award. It has appeared throughout the US, including the Joyce Theater/NY, Lincoln Center/NY, Brooklyn Academy of Music/NY, Mahalia Jackson Theater for the Performing Arts/New Orleans, Paramount Theatre/Seattle, The Music Center/Los Angeles, Winspear Opera House/Dallas, Cutler Majestic Theater/Boston, New Victory Theater/NY, and Music Hall/Detroit, The Bolshoi Theater, The Kremlin, The Mikhailovsky Theater, Melbourne Arts Center, and will make it's debut at the Kennedy Center in 2017, as a part of Ballet Across America.
The Company has appeared at major European dance festivals including Italy’s Festival of Dance ,the Isle De Dance Festival in Paris, the Maison De La Dance Festival in Lyon, the Holland Dance Festival, Steps International Dance Festival in Switzerland, Łódź Biennale, Warsaw Ballet Festival, Kraków Spring Ballet Festival, the Dance Festival of Canary Islands/Spain, and the Festival des Arts de Saint-Sauveur/Canada. In addition Complexions has toured extensively throughout the Baltic Regions, Korea, Brazil, Japan, Egypt, Israel, Russia, New Zealand, Bermuda, Serbia, Jamaica, and Australia.
The company’s foremost innovation is that dance should be about removing boundaries, not reinforcing them. Whether it be the limiting traditions of a single style, period, venue, or culture, Complexions transcends them all, creating an open, continually evolving form of dance that reflects the movement of our world—and all its constituent cultures—as an interrelated whole.
In 2006, Complexions held their first Summer Intensive program, serving 80 students in its first year. The program has grown to multiple cities and serves over up to 600 students annually. Since 2009, a Winter Intensive was added to the roster, serving an additional 400 students, and CCB added its Pre- Professional Program in 2016. Complexions’ artistic directors and company members teach master classes throughout the world, sharing the Complexions technique with dancers of all levels.
Together, Rhoden and Richardson have created in Complexions an institution that embodies its historical moment, a sanctuary where those passionate about dance can celebrate its past while simultaneously building its future. In the 23 years since its inception, the company has born witness to a world that is becoming more fluid, more changeable, and more culturally interconnected than ever before—in other words, a world that is becoming more and more like Complexions itself.

In this workshop, we will explore how different cultures and religions relate to death and therefore also life. Death is a universal experience; however, how we grieve may differ from place to place, and person to person.

TDM3’s travels and travails serve as inspiration for their fourth album and their New West Records debut, I’m a Stranger Here, produced by Buddy Miller and recorded at Dan Auerbach’s (Black Keys) Easy Eye Sound in Nashville.
With upright bassist Lucia Turino and guitarist Cooper McBean, Bernhard crafted a dozen tunes, part road songs, part heartbreak songs and part barnburners. While most bands are propelled from behind by a drummer, TDM3 builds exuberant rhythms from the inside out, wrapping finger-picked strings and upsurging harmonies around chugging acoustic guitar and bass, plying an ever-growing audience onto its feet to jump, shake and waltz.
