The celebrated Austrian theater director <a href="https://www.binghamton.edu/libraries/about/special-collections/research-and-collections/reinhardt/">Max Reinhardt</a>, recognized in America primarily for his elaborate productions of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Franz Werfel’s The Eternal Road, and Karl Vollmoeller’s The Miracle, was born in 1873 at Baden near Vienna, Austria and died in New York City in 1943. Reinhardt’s illustrious career takes on added significance because it coincides with a major shift in the evolution of the modern theater: the ascendancy of the director as the key figure in theatrical production. Reinhardt’s reputation in international theater history is secured by the leading role he played in this transformation, as well as by his innovative use of new theater technology and endless experimentation with theater spaces and locales, which together redefined traditional relationships between actor and audience toward a new participatory theater. What is a prompt book? The prompt book is a master copy of the production script and contains a wealth of instructions and information alongside the basic text of the play. As well as the actors’ lines, you will often see cues for music, movement, light, and many other aspects of stage business. It may also contain sketches of how a piece of staging is supposed to look, or which costume a character should wear in a scene. Why are his important? Reinhardt’s directorial prompt books reflect the ways in which he made plays by major playwrights, including Ibsen, Shakespeare and Wilder, his own. The prompt books contain notations denoting changes in the script, actor moves and technical cues, instructions on how sound, props and scenery were used, and stage drawings. They help us to reconstruct Reinhardt’s techniques and directions in productions.

Title A name given to the resource Binghamton Community Poets' Big Horror Reading Series Subject The topic of the resource American poetry -- 20th century; Oral interpretation of poetry Description An account of the resource The Binghamton Community Poets were founded in 1983 by native Binghamton poet, educator, and Harpur College alum Richard Martin. That year he started the The Big Horror Reading Series at a local coffee house. People associated with the series changed throughout the years but always included local writers who were dedicated to the idea of creating a space where literary art could flourish. For fourteen years, readings took place at various venues around the Triple Cities featuring nationally and internationally known writers while continuing to provide “open mike” time for local community writers and sometimes musicians. The series received funding from the New York State Council on the Arts, the Broome County Arts Council, and Poets and Writers, Inc., as well as public donations. Many of the readings between 1987 and 1996 were videotaped. Some of the writers who are featured on the videotapes include (in alphabetical order) Tish Benson, Charles Bernstein, Barney Bush, Wally Butts, Adrian Clarke, Suzanne Cleary, Robert Creeley, Joel Dailey, Jim Daniels, Jack Dann, Diane di Prima, Safiya Henderson-Holmes, Lance Henson, Bob Holman, Pierre Joris, Dave Kelly, Sylvia Kelly, Bill Kemmett, Peter Kidd, Dorianne Laux, Ed Ochester, Kate Rushin, Pamela Sargent, Patricia Smith, Lloyd Van Brunt. Also featured are former and current members of the Binghamton University faculty (in alphabetical order): David Bartine, Martin Bidney, Milton Kessler, Bob Mooney, Liz Rosenberg, Jerome Rothenberg, John Vernon. People associated with the series at one time or another (in alphabetical order): Ken Bovee, Alexis Cacyuk, Jerry Caswell, Tom Costello, Gerry Crinnin, Terry Day, Paul Dean, Zack Grabosky, Tom Haines, Connie Head, Michael Kelly, Tom Kolpakas, Richard Martin, Kate McQueen, John Miller, Bern Mulligan, Doug Paugh, Susan Prezzano, Phil Sweeney, Mike Tarcha. Venues for recorded readings (in chronological order): Swat Sullivan’s Hotel*, Benlin’s, Mad Murphy’s, The Tazmanian Embassy, The Amsterdam, Java Joe’s, Amp’s. The collection also <a href="https://omeka.binghamton.edu/omeka/collections/show/31">includes twelve excerpted poems</a> that serve as an introduction. They are linked not only to the full individual readings in Rosetta but also to the catalog records for the books in which they are published. This creates a unique convergence experience, as the catalog record “comes alive” and users can see the writer and hear a poem from the book before they take it off the shelf to read. Digitization and DVD Production After the series ended in 1996, the videotapes sat in boxes for ten years. In 2006, since they were most likely degrading and losing both video and audio fidelity, a Memorandum of Understanding between the BCP and the Libraries was agreed on and the process of converting the videotapes to DVD-quality MPEG files for preservation and access purposes was begun. Many of them had glitches and dead spots and several others were not originals but copies, further adding to loss of video and audio fidelity. After the conversion, both the video and audio quality were enhanced to a degree from what was on the tapes.  Phase Two involved producing individual DVDs from the MPEG files. The files were literally “raw”: they started when the camera was turned on and continued without interruption until it was turned off, which meant there was often video of silent microphones and audio of irrelevant crowd noises and conversations. Editing these out made the DVDs much better than the raw files. Preservation and Expanded Access Due to copyright restrictions, the DVDs have been housed in Special Collections and had to be viewed there. This has definitely curtailed their usage. However, a recent development in Rosetta, our digital preservation system, has allowed us to offer a new form of access. Rosetta added a built-in video viewer, which allows the videos to be both preserved and streamed at the same time. In order to accomplish this, the DVDs had to be converted to MP4s to be compatible with the new viewer. The streaming versions are copies of the DVDs, which is why they contain menus and chapters which are not functional but are continuous play. The streaming versions will allow more users to be able to view and listen to this diverse, wide-ranging collection of readings. (N.B.: They are only accessible on campus or via campus VPN.) *The image on the item records is the iconic Swat Sullivan's Hotel, which was located on Binghamton's South Side. Swat's was the venue for the earliest readings in the video collection. The building was torn down in 1990.

The celebrated Austrian theater director <a href="https://www.binghamton.edu/libraries/about/special-collections/research-and-collections/reinhardt/">Max Reinhardt</a>, recognized in America primarily for his elaborate productions of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Franz Werfel’s The Eternal Road, and Karl Vollmoeller’s The Miracle, was born in 1873 at Baden near Vienna, Austria and died in New York City in 1943. Reinhardt’s illustrious career takes on added significance because it coincides with a major shift in the evolution of the modern theater: the ascendancy of the director as the key figure in theatrical production. Reinhardt’s reputation in international theater history is secured by the leading role he played in this transformation, as well as by his innovative use of new theater technology and endless experimentation with theater spaces and locales, which together redefined traditional relationships between actor and audience toward a new participatory theater. What is a prompt book? The prompt book is a master copy of the production script and contains a wealth of instructions and information alongside the basic text of the play. As well as the actors’ lines, you will often see cues for music, movement, light, and many other aspects of stage business. It may also contain sketches of how a piece of staging is supposed to look, or which costume a character should wear in a scene. Why are his important? Reinhardt’s directorial prompt books reflect the ways in which he made plays by major playwrights, including Ibsen, Shakespeare and Wilder, his own. The prompt books contain notations denoting changes in the script, actor moves and technical cues, instructions on how sound, props and scenery were used, and stage drawings. They help us to reconstruct Reinhardt’s techniques and directions in productions.

Philip Friedheim (Premiere Performance) Pamela Starr, Contralto Peter Wenz, Baritone Harry Lincoln, Flute Ellen Leinwand, Percussion Smoking is Not Permitted in the Auditorium �PROGRAM NOTES * In keeping with the theme of this year's Fine Arts Festival, the Music Department will offer a program of twentieth-century music composed for varied instrumental and vocal ensembles. These represent both traditional and experimental elements from the beginning of the century to the present. The first half of the program consists of three works constructed according to moreor-less standard modern procedures, while following the intermission three works will demonstrate avant-garde and experimental approaches. Much of Bartok's music contains melodic and rhythmic material derived from Slavonic folk mus ic. His first rhapsody for violin and piano reveals these roots throughout. When the composer expands and develops this material , however, the tremendous force of his own personality dominates to such an extent that one is invariably overwhelmed by the originality of the music, and not distracted by the derivative elements. In this work, two simple folk dances are magnified into a barbaric composition of savage intensity. In contrast to the violence of the open ing work , Debussy's delicate Syrinx for solo flute represents a restrained example of French Impressionism. An infrequently perfomed composition, Syrinx offers the evocative atmosphere characteristic of Debussy's more expanded compositions, while limited to a single melodic line throughout. Vincent Persichetti holds an honored position in the musical world today for his multiple activities as composer, theoretitian, and teacher. A distinguished teacher of composition at the Julliard School, he recently published a major theoretical work that attempts to organize the vast and complex area of twentiethcentury harmony into a coherent whole. His concerto for piano four hands is the only work of this kind in the literature, and is written in one uninterrupted movement. It contains a number of striking exploitations of the sonoric possibilities of the piano . The first number on the program to illustrate experimental techniques is Ernst Toch's Geographical Fugue. The last movement of a suite entitled Spoken Music, it tries to recreate musical effects through the medium of the spoken word. The device of maintaining a musical structure while eliminating the musical (continued on next page) �Program Notes (cont'd) medium is both intriguing as an idea and fascinating as an aural experience. 5 6 9 Toshiro Mayuzumi is one of the leading young avant-garde composers today . The element of chance often plays a large part in his compositions . Rather than performing all the details of a completed score, the instrumentalist may be offered only a set of possibilities to be realized a number of different ways. In the Metamusic (literally, beyond music), each of the performers has his own part, and each part proceeds independently of the others. Passages may be repeated or omitted at will. The ensemble decides in advance how long each particular performance will last. In regard to this work, which is, to say the least, unusual, one might bear in mind a sentence which John Cage, one of the founding fathers of avant-garde music in America, spoke here at Harpur College three years ago. He said, "Perhaps I am not composing music; I am merely creating a situation in which things happen." The concluding work on the program is Philip Friedheim's cantata Anna Karenina. Mr. Friedheim had two goals in mind when writing this work. First, he wanted to explore the relationship between structure and form in such a way as to transform a highly subjective emotional content into a totally objective abstract form. Second, acting from an idea suggested by John Cage, he has created a composition in which the element of time is completely elim inated. Since the details surrounding the construction of th is work are both complex and provocative, Mr. Friedheim will deliver a short talk prior to the performance of his cantata expla i ning the compositional procedures involved. �1965 FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS MARCH 19 - APRIL 7 In past years, Harpur College has held an annual art festival which featured events centered upon a unified theme. Thus, in 1961 the festival was devoted to the Centennial of the Italian unification and last year's festival honored the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare's birth. The subject of this year's festival is the twentieth century. Scheduled events range from those products of this century which have become standard "classics" to examples of the contemporary avant-garde in the arts. Among the major events are: March 19, 20, 21 A production of The Trial by Franz Kafka, adapted for the stage by Andre Gide and Jean-Louis Barrault. March 28 The premiere performance of Karl Korte's 2nd String Quartet, performed by the Guarnari Quartet. April 5 An evening of experimental films, featuring Salvator Dali's The Andalusian Dog (Le Chien Andalou) April 7 "Music in Mid-Twentieth Century"; musical works featuring the premiere performance of Philip Friedheim's Cantata Anna Karenina. March 14-28 Photography '64. An exhibition of the work of America's 25 foremost photographers. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

BINGHAMTON U N I V E R S I T Y S T A T E U NIVERSITY O F NEW Y O R K D E P A R T M E N TRANSATLANTIC JOURNEYS: A M EETING OF MUSIC A ND DANCE traditions FROM WEST AFRICA AND THE CARlBBEAN presented by: The Nukporfe African DanceDrumming Ensemble directed by: James Burns and Marcel March featuring guest artist: Elikem Nymuame Wednesday, May 8, 2013 7 :00 p.m. Watters Theater T �io PROGRAM aé‘s Tonight’s program presents a meeting between several folkloric dances from West Africa and the Caribbean, focusing on the similarities in their musical languages and oral traditions, while also celebrating their unique local expressions. This evening we will be focusing on traditional dancedrumming styles from Ghana and Cuba. Ghana is a country of immense cultural diversity, with over 10 major ethnic groups, each with their own unique music and dance forms. During the TransAtlantic slave trade, many of these forms were brought to Cuba, where they developed into their own distinct traditions. I. Agbekor (Ghana). Agbekor is a war dance of the Ewe people of Ghana. The dance movements imitate moments from battle, and follow the drum language of the lead drum, atsimevu. i. Processional. As the drummers and dancers proceed to the stage in traditional fashion, they sing a war song that calls the warrior. to battle against the European colonial powers. The second song memorializes the great warrior Kundo who led warriors into battle and has been killed. ii. Preludes. These short dance interludes introduce the solo dance section that follows. iii. Solo dance ﬂights. These solo dance movements are among the most technically demanding works in traditional African music. The accompanying music is played in a sharp presto tempo between 190200 bea ts per minute, and the musicians must maintain their highly syncopated musical lines that tend to fall between the beats. The communication between the lead drummer and dancers is absolute every note cues a movement or gesture. Each sequence is introduced by the lead drum, and is completed with a turning movement. II. Dance of Eleggua (Cuba). In Yoruba mythology Eleggua is the deity of the crossroads, who opens the channels of communication between human beings and the other gods. He is normally saluted at the beginning of every performance to ask for his blessings. Eleggua is often depicted as an old man who likes to play tricks on people– he can appear feeble and then surprise everyone by suddenly exhibiting the strength of a young man. I I I . Galiu (Ghana). Gahu is a neotraditional dance that has been adopted and adapted by the Ewe people of Ghana. It is an oﬀshoot of the Gome dance, a PanAtlan tic African dance form that emerged in the 19th century from the synthesis of European hymns and marches with West African musical sensibilities. The name Gahu suggests an airplane, and represents local experiences with new technology and culture. The songs are often humorous and fun, suggesting themes of courtship and celebration. IV. Dance of Oshun (Cuba). Oshun is the goddess of sensuality and beauty, which is tem pered by an inner sadness due to the lack of love and caring in t he world. She is revered as a divine mother, and also as the queen of the marketplace. In Nigeria is associated with the river Oshun, and is an important water spirit. Solwun (Ghana). Sohoun is an EweFon sacred dance used to open a ceremony of the Yeve shrine. The original movements danced at the shrine inspired the choreography for this folkloric version, created by Dr. Opoku for the Ghana Dance Ensemble. VI. Kpatsa (Ghana). Th is dance comes from a neighboring grou p of the Ewe, known as the GaAdangbe. They share many lingu istic and cultural aﬀinities with the Ewe, and these two groups have historically interacted with each other. The characteristic movement of Kpatsa is a limping gait that imitates the movements of dwarfs, a magical race of being. that inhabit rural areas in Ghana. These movements were embellished with dance combinations and eventually became a social and recreational dance known as Kpatsa, whose name is an onomatopoeic reference to the movement of dwarfs. �ia INTERMISSION « 5 VII. Dance of Oya (Cuba). Oya is the goddess who guards the underworld, and is also known as a warrior– she once grew a beard so that she could ﬁght with the men. She is also associated with tornadoes, earthquakes and other dangerous natural phenomena. In Nigeria she is the goddess of the river Niger, one of the most important rivers in West Africa . VIII. Gota (Benin/Ghana). This is a popular funeral and recreational dance of the EweFon people of Ghana, Togo, and Benin. IX . Kinka (Ghana). Kinka is a relatively modern style of Ewe funeral music that became popular in the 1950s. It features a distinctive body of songs and drum language phrases that juxtapose images and themes from traditional Ewe culture with modern life, Dance of Ogun (Cuba). Ogun is the deity o f war, who is known for his rough countenance, and lack of social graces. In the new world, he is often depicted as a wild man from the bush, who is a ﬁerce warrior and defender of the weak. XI. Kpanlogo (Ghana). Kpanlogo is also a new form of traditional music that was created by the Ga people, who reside in and around the capital of Ghana, Accra. It uses a distinct rhythmic background that is found throughout the Black Atlantic region in musics like Samba, Calypso and Rumba. XII. Fumefume (Ghana). Fumefume is another new form of traditional music among the Ga people. Mustapha Tettey Addey, a renowned Ga drummer, is credited for having created Fumefume out of earlier sacred dances that were performed during traditional ritual events and ceremonies. This dance drumming is now performed during life cycle events such as birth, naming, initiation, marriage/wedding and funerals among others. ia PERFORMERS 6 Dances Directed a nd Choreographed by Elikem Nyamuame, Departments o f M usic & Theatre Dance BEGINNING DANCECLASS Assisted by Gieun Lee & Mikal Padellan Olukemi Akinde, Tamar GaﬀinCahn, Janice Henry, Kwang Hwang, Dongha Kim, Jessinta Oseni, Soyeon Ro, Shangbin Wu, Natalie Zolotareva, Elizabeth Acheampong, Seongmi An, Jeﬀery Appeagyei, Toni Ann Black, Andy Chan, Salma Chaouqi, Jiahao Chen, Yu Cheng, Dominique Descorbeth, Yan Fong, Shennell G riﬀiths, Hilary Hernandez, Ariel Hunt, Ayaia Kalman, Sooyeon Kang, Bukola Kayode, Annabel Kim, Joo Hyun Kim, Juhwi Lee, Kit Liu, Briana Renios, Julia Rivera, Carly Rubenfeld, Whitney Seabrooks, Amenzesiofo Uzamera, Jo Wang, Claudia Wright, Yixiang Wu, Ebony Green.

Kpan logo is also a new form of traditional music that was created by the Ga people, who reside in and around the capital of Ghana, Accra. It uses a distinct rhythmic background that is found throughout the Black Atlantic region in musics like Samba, Calypso and Rumba. X I. Dance of Oshun (Cuba). Osh un is the goddess of sensuality and beauty, which is tempered by an inner sadness due to the lack of love and caring in the world. She is revered as a divine mother, and also as the queen of the marketplace. ln Nigeria is associated with the river Oshun, and is an im portant water spirit. X1]. Baamaya (Ghana). Baamaya (the ground is soaked with water) is one of the most popular social dances of the Dagomba people of northern Ghana. The Dagomba originated within the old Mali empire, and brought Islam and griot court music culture to Ghana when they migrated there sometime during the 16th century. Baamaya originated as a rain dance, where the men dressed as women to entertain the spirits so that they would make it rain. Xlll. Fumefume (Ghana). Fumefume is another new form of traditional music among the Ga people. Mustapha Tettey Addey, a renowned Ga drummer, is credited for having created Fumefume out of earlier sacred dances that were performed during traditional ritual events and ceremonies. This dancedrumming is now performed during life cycle events such as birth, naming, initiation, marriage/wedding and funerals among others. X I V. Kinka (Ghana Kinka (Ghana). Kinka is a relatively modern style of Ewe funeral music that became popular in the 1950s.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Reinhardt Promptbooks Description An account of the resource Who is Max Reinhardt? The celebrated Austrian theater director <a href="https://www.binghamton.edu/libraries/about/special-collections/research-and-collections/reinhardt/">Max Reinhardt</a>, recognized in America primarily for his elaborate productions of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Franz Werfel’s The Eternal Road, and Karl Vollmoeller’s The Miracle, was born in 1873 at Baden near Vienna, Austria and died in New York City in 1943. Reinhardt’s illustrious career takes on added significance because it coincides with a major shift in the evolution of the modern theater: the ascendancy of the director as the key figure in theatrical production. Reinhardt’s reputation in international theater history is secured by the leading role he played in this transformation, as well as by his innovative use of new theater technology and endless experimentation with theater spaces and locales, which together redefined traditional relationships between actor and audience toward a new participatory theater. What is a prompt book? The prompt book is a master copy of the production script and contains a wealth of instructions and information alongside the basic text of the play. As well as the actors’ lines, you will often see cues for music, movement, light, and many other aspects of stage business. It may also contain sketches of how a piece of staging is supposed to look, or which costume a character should wear in a scene. Why are his important? Reinhardt’s directorial prompt books reflect the ways in which he made plays by major playwrights, including Ibsen, Shakespeare and Wilder, his own. The prompt books contain notations denoting changes in the script, actor moves and technical cues, instructions on how sound, props and scenery were used, and stage drawings. They help us to reconstruct Reinhardt’s techniques and directions in productions.
