Dance

An American genius and treasure, Martha Graham created an art form that would become the foundation for modern dance. Her repertoire of an astounding 181 works puts her on par with Picasso, Stravinsky and Frank Lloyd Wright as one of the 20th century’s seminal artistic forces. Her namesake contemporary dance company, the oldest and most celebrated in the world, has traveled to more than 50 countries and is a training ground for dance’s most illustrious performers. Now led by Artistic Director Janet Eilber, who worked closely with Graham for more than a decade, Martha Graham Dance Company continues to fi nd its inspiration for movement from the vast American tapestry. “Ardent Song,” by Martha Graham, is made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts American Masterpiece: Dance Initiative, administered by the New England Foundation for the Arts.

Special Events

This special fundraising event benefi ts UApresents and World Care, a Tucson-based relief organization dedicated to providing humanitarian relief by recycling surplus materials and supply to create useable resources for health, education and sustainable communities worldwide. In support of our shared belief that works of art have the power to move people, change lives and transform the world, we are proud to co-sponsor this important event.

The evening features a reception, dinner and a performance by one of the most prominent African artists on the global scene, Jean Paul Samputu. A 2003 winner of Africa’s prestigious Kora Award, Samputu travels the world as a cultural ambassador for Rwanda, bringing to his audiences not only traditional African singing, dancing and drumming, but also a mélange of styles from soukous and rhumbato to gospel. The passion and fl uidity with which Samputu sings belies the tragedies he has faced—the loss of his parents, three brothers and a sister to the Rwandan genocide in 1994. His is a message of healing and hope, peace and reconciliation.

Concert Gala: SAMPUTUSunday, November 11 at 5pmat the Grand Ballroom (UA Student Union Memorial Center)Benefi t Tickets: $150 ($75 tax-deductible)

Event Sponsor:

Four years ago, visits to Arab, Jewish, and Buddhist villages inspired a dream of breaking barriers between cultures in confl ict. That dream is now a reality. Intercultural Journeys, an organization dedicated to promoting understanding among people of diverse cultures through dialogue and the presentation of world-class performances, in partnership with UApresents, has developed a unique concert event bridging cultures in an evening celebrating the universality of music.

Artistic Director Udi Bar-David, cellist for the Philadelphia Orchestra, leads a superb Arab-Jewish virtuoso ensemble:

The concert will be the culminating event for many activities that will take place in the community including Peace Walk Tucson and a “mini-conference” on Sunday, February 17 featuring a screening of the award winning Israeli-Palestinian documentary “Encounter Point” to be followed by discussion panels and workshops. Her Royal Highness Princess Alia of Jordan has been invited to attend this event.

In the fall, please look to www.uapresents.org or www.interculturaljourneys.com for additional information.

And, gifts may be made in honor of or in memory of someone, and they may be made anonymously, if you wish.

Where Does It Go?The gifts you make support UApresents in many ways… • Underwriting the world-class performances we present – ticket prices only account for 65% of our costs • Discounted tickets for students – from K-12 through college • Student Matinee Program serving students across the region • Master classes in music and dance at the UA College of Fine Arts, as well as other campus-wide collaborations • Free tickets to underserved audiences in Tucson and Southern Arizona • Student employment and work-study experience

If you are a businessperson, our variety of sponsorship levels is a wonderful way to showcase your community involvement, increase your visibility in the region and offers excellent client appreciation opportunities.


Education &Outreach

While performance is at the heart of your adventure with UApresents, we also offer opportunities to deepen your appreciation of the performing arts.

Throughout the year, we plan special events around our performances to enhance your experience. Please check our website periodically for updates and details.

This season, we continue to make our world-class artists accessible to all students through these programs:

School Matinee ProgramLast year, UApresents’ nationally recognized School Matinee Program brought the performing arts experience to 127 schools and 13,000 K-12 students. Students from across Southern Arizona come to Centennial Hall to enjoy and learn through performances geared specifi cally for them.

Professional Development for Classroom TeachersARTsTeach, a collaboration among UApresents and Arizona Theatre Company, Tucson Museum of Art and the Tucson Symphony Orchestra, offers classroom teachers a week of discovery and learning about the arts. During this summer arts immersion week, teachers will spend a day at each of these arts organizations where they will have the opportunity to interact with art and artists. In addition, free fall and spring in-services by local teaching artists assist teachers in developing curriculum connections and enhancing the student experience of the school matinee performance. Teachers are provided with a study guide based on Arizona state arts education and core curriculum standards.

Artists in the ClassroomUApresents provides local teaching artists to work on-site with selected schools in conjunction with their attendance at a school matinee. We also bring touring artists to the classroom for experiences ranging from informal talks to master classes. These touring artists also provide workshops and master classes for UA students.
