SUMMARY:NMU to Host Anishinaabe Lacrosse Game
DESCRIPTION:  \nNorthern Michigan University will host a traditional Anishinaabe lacrosse game—or bagodowe—as part of its 125th anniversary homecoming celebration\, at 1 p.m. Sunday\, Sept. 22\, in the Superior Dome. The game originated on a small island on Lake Superior\, just north of Wisconsin’s Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. The public is invited to play or watch. \nLacrosse occupies an important place in Indigenous culture. Many communities have a deep connection and view it as much more than a sport of physical endurance. An online description states that “it is considered a gift from the creator—a ‘medicine’ used to drive away sickness and create positive energy while teaching athletes the value of community and working together for the greater good.” \nJustin Schapp\, assistant director of NMU’s Diversity and Inclusion Office\, said that many of the Native nations in the Three Fires Confederacy composed of the Ojibwe\, Odawa and Potawatomi have been healing their communities by revitalizing this medicine game over the past decade. \n“By including this game as part of NMUs homecoming events and the 125th anniversary\, we are providing an opportunity to allow our students\, faculty\, staff and community to understand this journey from Indigenous perspectives. \n“Bagodowe is a gift game organized to build community. Players are asked to bring a small gift to place on a blanket with others. When a player scores a goal\, they are invited to select a gift. At the end of the game\, the winning team is invited to select a gift from the blanket.” \nThe event will open with the following tribal representatives providing participants with knowledge about the game’s origins and instructions on how to play: Daniel Jackson\, Saginaw Chippewa; Ricky Woods\, Grand Traverse Band; Devon DeVerney\, Lac du Flambeau Band; and Chris Shawa\, Gun Lake Band. \nSchapp said Sunday’s event will also be a nod to Northern history. The first varsity women’s athletic team\, established in 1968\, competed in the similar sport of field hockey.

SUMMARY:NMU Campus Nursery Grand Opening
DESCRIPTION:Northern Michigan University will host a grand opening garden party for its new Campus Nursery as part of the 125th anniversary celebration at 3 p.m. Tuesday\, Oct. 1. Participants are invited to tour the garden and learn about native plant species and efforts to increase biodiversity on our campus. There will also be an opportunity to get hands dirty by helping with fall tree and bush planting. Light refreshments will be served. \nThe nursery is a collaboration between NMU Grounds\, Facilities and SHINE (Sustainability Hub for Innovation & Environment). The idea was an adaptation of multiple student-submitted Green Fund project proposals. \nAccording to its website\, The Campus Nursery grows native\, nativar and cultivated native species to use in future landscaping projects on campus. The Nursery is located behind NMU’s Central Receiving area\, exactly where NMU grew a tree nursery decades ago. Today there is a 150-foot x 75-foot parcel to grow plant native trees\, shrubs and bushes. A native plant intern will help to nurture the plants until they are large enough to be used in campus landscaping projects.

SUMMARY:"Cabaret" at NMU
DESCRIPTION:Northern Michigan University will present the daring and provocative musical Cabaret Oct. 3-5 and 10-12. The play is set in a Berlin nightclub as the 1920s draw to a close. It explores the tumultuous life of the city’s natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. \n“It’s a really interesting musical—more dark and gritty than happy-go-lucky—but very fun to put on\,” said director and choreographer Kristen Beth Ludwig. “It was a time of economic depression and the rise of fascism. It’s a political musical\, in a sense\, but not about an election. Part of why we put it into our season this year is because we are in a very divided time in this country\, and that is exactly where Germany was back then. Many of the themes are still relevant today\, and that just shows we still haven’t learned from our history\, and we’re going to continue that cycle if we can’t break free from it. \n“In the U.S.\, we talk about the free love era of the 1960s\, but that was very prevalent in the late ‘20s and early ‘30s in Germany\, before Adolph Hitler came to power. The nightlife was thriving\, and the people who work at the Kit Kat Club in Cabaret are very free with their sexuality\, very open with their gender fluidity.” \nThe source material for the musical is Christopher Isherwood’s novel The Berlin Stories\, about his experience in the city in the Jazz Age early ‘30s on the cusp of Hitler’s ascent. The book inspired a previous play\, I Am a Camera\, which portrays the writer as a detached observer from everything swirling around him. In Cabaret\, on the other hand\, the American novelist character named Cliff Bradshaw is actively involved in the plot. \n“Cliff is intent on writing his next great American novel\,” Ludwig added. “He’s already tried London and Paris for inspiration\, but finds himself in Berlin. He gets seduced by the nightlife and the Kit Kat Club\, where there’s an emcee who is like a puppet master for this memory play. Cliff is immediately taken with this English singer\, Sally Bowles\, an eccentric\, fascinating woman who ends up talking her way into living with him and starting a relationship.” \nA side story involves Fraulein Schneider\, the owner of the boarding house where Cliff rents an apartment. She tentatively begins a romance with Herr Schultz\, a mild-mannered fruit seller who happens to be Jewish. \nNMU will be performing the 1998 Broadway revival version of Cabaret\, which was directed by Sam Mendes. It featured Alan Cumming putting his stamp on the emcee role originated by Joel Grey\, and Natasha Richardson as Sally Bowles. The revival ran for five or six years and brought in several guest stars for the leading roles. \nThe choreography was by Rob Marshall\, who also directed and choreographed the movie musical Chicago. Bob Fosse had famously choreographed the 1972 Cabaret movie starring Grey and Liza Minnelli. Ludwig said she pays homage to both in her original choreography for the NMU production. \nThe NMU cast arrived on campus before classes started for a week-long boot camp to learn all of the music and staging for most of the big production numbers. \n“We have a live pit band for the first time in many years for the fall musical; it’s being conducted by my brother-in-law Matt Ludwig\, who retired as band director at Marquette Senior High School. Set designer Lex van Blommestein designed a runway that projects forward from the stage\, bringing the action as close to the audience as possible. And our cast is phenomenal. Kendyl Dahlstrom does a fantastic job playing Sally Bowles. Logan Newcomb\, who played Wayne in Puffs last season\, is our Cliff Bradshaw. And Michael Ahlstrom\, a Marquette native and crowd favorite\, is the emcee.” \nShowtimes are 7:30 p.m. Thursday-Saturday\, Oct. 3-5 and 10-12\, with a 1 p.m. matinee on Oct. 12. A sensory friendly Theatre for All matinee will be offered at 1 p.m. Saturday\, Oct. 5. Tickets are $25 for the general public; $22 for NMU employees\, seniors and military; $15 for youth; and $5 for NMU students. They can be purchase at nmu.universitytickets.com.

SUMMARY:The Trouble Notes to Perform at NMU
DESCRIPTION:The Trouble Notes\, a trio that blends traditional folk\, gritty progressive rock and explosive dance music\, will perform a concert and deliver two free public presentations at Northern Michigan University on Friday\, Oct. 4.

Tickets are $12 for general admission and free for youth 18 and under and NMU students.

They have toured Europe and North America\, and performed on TV in the United States\, Europe\, Japan and Brazil. \nAccording to BBC Radio\, “Their musical influences take you on a journey around the world.
