Tian the Student-Led Play Is Performing TODAY

submitted by gebbengn@augsburg.edu

Tian
by Johanna Caroline Schön

Directed by Kayla Marie Mielke and Johanna Caroline Schön

Who owns history? And who is allowed to tell its stories? The student-written piece Tian centers around these fundamental questions. This conflict becomes clear when the audience is led through the life of romantic poet Karoline von Günderrode by two characters with two very different claims to Karoline’s story: Bettine von Arnim, contemporary and close friend of Karoline, who wants to paint a strong, feminist picture; and the Playwright whose goal is to create an enticing, heart-wrenching play. The audience finds themselves in the in-betweens of history, whilst being part of Karoline’s personal journey filled with struggles, doubt, and dreams.

The performance dates are the 13th, 14th, 15th of February at 7:00PM, and the 16th at 3:00pm.

Speaker Bio: Valarie Kaur is a civil rights leader, lawyer, award-winning filmmaker, educator, and founder of the Revolutionary Love Project.

Since then, Valarie has led visionary campaigns to tell untold stories and change policy on issues ranging from hate crimes to digital freedom. Her work ignited a national movement to reclaim love as a force for justice. Today, the Revolutionary Love Project is seeding networked communities of practice across the country to build the beloved community. A daughter of Punjabi Sikh farmers in California, Valarie lifts up her vision for America in her acclaimed TED Talk and #1 LA Times Bestseller See No Stranger: A Memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love. In Fall 2022, Valarie was honored at the White House in the first-ever Uniters Ceremony, recognizing her as a prophetic leader whose work is healing America. She is also the author of newly released Sage Warrior and children’s book World of Wonder.

Tian is Opening Next Week

submitted by gebbengn@augsburg.edu

Tian
by Johanna Caroline Schön

Directed by Kayla Marie Mielke and Johanna Caroline Schön

Who owns history? And who is allowed to tell its stories? The student-written piece Tian centers around these fundamental questions. This conflict becomes clear when the audience is led through the life of romantic poet Karoline von Günderrode by two characters with two very different claims to Karoline’s story: Bettine von Arnim, contemporary and close friend of Karoline, who wants to paint a strong, feminist picture; and the Playwright whose goal is to create an enticing, heart-wrenching play. The audience finds themselves in the in-betweens of history, whilst being part of Karoline’s personal journey filled with struggles, doubt, and dreams.

The performance dates are the 13th, 14th, 15th of February at 7:00PM, and the 16th at 3:00pm.

submitted by gilmerje@augsburg.edu

Exhibit open through May 18, 2025
All events and activities are free and open to the public.

Join us for the opening day of the Weisman Art Museum’s spring exhibition, SEEN, presented in collaboration with We Are All Criminals. This exhibition highlights the work of artists inside the carceral system, in partnership with artists on the outside. Opening day will feature drop-in artist activations in the galleries, a reading library, self-guided tours, and light bites and beverages.

Weisman Art Museum presents SEEN, an exhibition created as part of a years-long collaboration with We Are All Criminals (WAAC), curated by WAAC director and founder, Emily Baxter. SEEN features currently incarcerated artists in collaboration with artists, activists, and academics in the Twin Cities community. Together they explore issues of incarceration, isolation, healing, and coming home. Representing a range of cultural, personal, and professional backgrounds and diverse forms of artistic expression, people on the “inside” partnered with people on the “outside” based on shared creative curiosities and personal affinities. This exhibition is arranged across two galleries to evoke the experiences of “inside” (carceral) and “outside” (healing and community).

The collaborative exhibition SEEN and its related public programs aim to illuminate the effects of mass incarceration by clearing the pathways for people behind bars to have their voices heard, faces seen, and humanity recognized.

Join us for the opening day of the Weisman Art Museum’s spring exhibition, SEEN, presented in collaboration with We Are All Criminals. This exhibition highlights the work of artists inside the carceral system, in partnership with artists on the outside. Opening day will feature drop-in artist activations in the galleries, a reading library, self-guided tours, and light bites and beverages.

Weisman Art Museum presents SEEN, an exhibition created as part of a years-long collaboration with We Are All Criminals (WAAC), curated by WAAC director and founder, Emily Baxter. SEEN features currently incarcerated artists in collaboration with artists, activists, and academics in the Twin Cities community. Together they explore issues of incarceration, isolation, healing, and coming home. Representing a range of cultural, personal, and professional backgrounds and diverse forms of artistic expression, people on the “inside” partnered with people on the “outside” based on shared creative curiosities and personal affinities. This exhibition is arranged across two galleries to evoke the experiences of “inside” (carceral) and “outside” (healing and community).

The collaborative exhibition SEEN and its related public programs aim to illuminate the effects of mass incarceration by clearing the pathways for people behind bars to have their voices heard, faces seen, and humanity recognized.

Tian Is Opening in Only Two Weeks

submitted by gebbengn@augsburg.edu

Tian
by Johanna Caroline Schön

Directed by Kayla Marie Mielke and Johanna Caroline Schön

Who owns history? And who is allowed to tell its stories? The student-written piece Tian centers around these fundamental questions. This conflict becomes clear when the audience is led through the life of romantic poet Karoline von Günderrode by two characters with two very different claims to Karoline’s story: Bettine von Arnim, contemporary and close friend of Karoline, who wants to paint a strong, feminist picture; and the Playwright whose goal is to create an enticing, heart-wrenching play. The audience finds themselves in the in-betweens of history, whilst being part of Karoline’s personal journey filled with struggles, doubt, and dreams.

The performance dates are the 13th, 14th, 15th of February at 7:00PM, and the 16th at 3:00pm.

Free Community Yoga: This Saturday, February 1, 10 a.m. CST (Link Included)

submitted by rohlfsen@augsburg.edu

I know many of us have been reflecting on how we want and are able to show up in this moment. What does it take for social change and transformation to really happen, especially under a growing reality of fascism bolstered by polarity and division? What might my role be in this moment, and in the long haul for more equity, justice, love and dignity? What skills and support might I be able to offer?

One of the ways I am intentionally stepping in for this moment is this very offering. Not because yoga is a cure-all or because moving our bodies on our mat will end white supremacy or inequality. But because part of what makes wars and systemic violence possible is because we are disconnected from our bodies and from each other. Being in our bodies and cultivating deeper awareness through practice allows for more choice, so that we can respond rather than react. When we are curious about what is happening in our bodies, we can also begin to be more curious about what’s happening in other living bodies and in the world around us. We get to practice being in relationship with ourselves, with others, and with our environment. So that what we practice and experience on the mat is what we practice everywhere we go. Presence, curiosity, awareness, breath, and connecting to our aliveness and belonging.

This space is an open invitation, and what I’m committed to offering is a space of refuge: for the sake of safety, spaciousness, deep rest and full permission, for myself and others.

For any accommodations, please email me in advance (rohlfsen@augsburg.edu) so I can do my best to support any requests.

Paradise Park Zoo Auditions TODAY

submitted by gebbengn@augsburg.edu

Come audition for Paradise Park Zoo! Auditions are today and tomorrow, so come sign up before it’s too late! We are looking for actors of any kind! Don’t worry if you’ve never acted or done anything theater-related before! We want to see you give a try, no matter who you are!

There are three different types of ways you can audition! Pick only ONE, whichever makes you feel most comfortable. The auditions are Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th, so sign up for only ONE of those days.

1. GROUP AUDITIONS: prepare a 20-second movement sequence inspired by a Zoo animal. Be prepared to play some improv games and read a few sides from the script!

2. INDIVIDUAL AUDITION: prepare any 40-60 second piece. You can use a poem, a monologue, or anything else you like. Individual auditioners can bring a text piece and a song, as long as they are under 2 minutes combined!

3. MUSICIAN AUDITION: To be a musician on this piece, bring your own instrument! A piano will be provided. Please bring a piece of contemporary music (pop, house, rock, or anything you might hear at a bar, including self-written work!)

The sign up sheet is up on the theater’s doors in Foss AND online! (See link)
Auditions will take place in Foss Theater!

Overview:
The animals at the zoo are very busy—experimenting with meditation, processing their relationships, honing their wilderness survival skills, hosting community meetings, arguing about doors. No one is talking about the cages. The cages are not important- or are they?

We hope to see you there! ⭐️
