SUMMARY:"Frankenstein" at NMU
DESCRIPTION:  \nFor more than two centuries\, Mary Shelley’s 1818 Gothic novel Frankenstein has remained a favorite within the horror fiction genre. Its tale of a scientist’s effort to bring back the dead by carving a new creature from their corpses—only to have his creation turn on him through a series of violent acts—has had an enduring influence on popular culture and spawned many creative adaptations. Northern Michigan University Theatre and Dance will premiere its version of the stage play\, with opening night appropriately on Halloween. \nSet in the icy polar regions where Victor Frankenstein has chased the creature he brought to life\, NMU’s highly theatrical and emotional production traces Frankenstein’s path to the final confrontation with his intelligent\, articulate\, sensitive and powerfully violent child. \n“That’s how we’re approaching this new adaption—the Creature is being directed to act sort of like a newborn\,” said director Kaitlyn Frotton\, adjunct faculty member and director of the NMU Theatre and Dance box office. “He still looks repulsive\, but I think the issue Victor has with him is less about his appearance and more about how alarming that lifestyle change could be. The intimacy and the responsibility that is now expected from Victor freaks him out a little bit\, and it’s ultimately why he leaves.” \nThe NMU production was adapted by Alastar Dimitrie\, originally for the U.P. Shakespeare Festival he serves as director. He also works at NMU as a senior administrative assistant in the Registrar’s Office. \nFrotton and Dimitrie are not only collaborators on the play\, but life partners. They have acted in and directed numerous productions worldwide\, and first met while attending the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. Their shared experience parenting a 2-year-old son influenced their interpretation of the Creature as infant-like. \nThe couple fine-tuned the script to deviate from Shelley’s novel in a few notable ways. They shared the story more from the Creature’s perspective than the scientist’s; injected more strength and substance into the character of Elizabeth to provide a contemporary audience with a “more obvious feminist feel”; and cut the opening scene when Victor is dying and relays his life story to a passerby who finds him. \n“But what I really loved about that opening was how Victor continually urged the passerby to avoid having too much career ambition because that’s not what’s important in life and won’t lead to true happiness\,” Frotton added. “I found that really moving personally when I revisited the novel because I can relate to the lifestyle change many first-time parents experience. Victor seemed to have a hard time with that when he created a new being. I also felt moved by the Creature’s inextinguishable desire to be loved and seen by his creator even after experiencing heartbreaking abandonment and hate.” \nFrotton warns that the production is best suited for high school ages and older because it will be scary and include some violence. There will also be fog\, strobe lights and other technical elements. \nNMU’s Frankenstein will be staged in the Panowski Black Box Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 31-Nov. 2 and Nov. 7-9\, with an additional 1 p.m. matinee Nov. 9. A Theatre for All sensory-friendly performance is scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday\, Nov. 2. Tickets are available at nmu.universitytickets.com.

SUMMARY:NMU Hosts Indigenous Perspectives Symposium
DESCRIPTION:  \nIndigenous artists from across the region will gather at Northern Michigan University to share their perspectives on film\, paintings\, music\, sculpture\, literature and other arts.  The inaugural Indigenous Perspectives Symposium is free to the public and scheduled for Friday\, Nov. 1\, in the Northern Center. \nRegistration is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. by honoring Anishinaabe ways of being\, followed by general sessions and panelists’ discussions until 4 p.m.\, when keynote speaker Jonathan Thunder (Red Lake Ojibwe) presents on his personal journey as an Indigenous artist. \n“We are hosting this event to increase opportunities for creative collaborations across a wide variety of art mediums and presentations\, from traditional to contemporary interpretations by sharing the story of Indigenous arts across NMU’s service area and providing discussion perspectives on impacts to regional diversity and belonging\,” said Shawnrece Butler\, NMU assistant vice president for Diversity and Inclusion. \nThroughout the symposium\, there will be opportunities for attendees to engage with various presenters\, including participating in an Indigenous-focused mural art project. They are also invited to enjoy a decolonized diet lunch that will be available for purchase while listening to Anishinaabe singer-songwriter Helen Roy.  Other notable presenters are: \n\nCaroline LaPorte (Little River Band of Ottawa Indians descendant)\, NMU Department Head of Center for Native American Studies\nWilliam Johnson (Saginaw Chippewa)\, Director\, Ziibiwing Center\nApril Lindala (Grand River Six Nations)\, NMU Center for Native American Studies faculty member\nCandice Dalsing (Mescalero Apache Tribe descendant)\, co-owner of Deer Woman Productions and impact producer on film: “Bring them Home.”\n\nThunder’s art is infused with a blend of his personal lens and real-time world experiences that allows him to use a wide range of mediums. He is known for his surreal paintings\, digitally animated films and art installations in which he addresses subject matter of personal experience and social commentary. \nAt the conclusion of the symposium\, NMU will screen the new Lily Gladstone narrated film; “Bring Them Home/Aiskótáhkapiyaaya\,” from Thunderheart Films and The Redford Center. This film chronicles a decades-long initiative by members of the Blackfoot Confederacy to bring wild buffalo (Blackfeet: iinnii) back to the Blackfeet Reservation. \nA thriving wild buffalo population would not only reconnect Blackfeet with a central part of their heritage\, spirituality and identity\, but would provide economic opportunities and healing for the community. Along the way\, however\, the initiative faces obstacles from ranchers who see the buffalo as a threat to the cattle ranches that dominate the land and are a legacy of colonization. The film will be shown at 6 p.m. in the Jamrich Hall Auditorium. A trailer is located here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAK3IYj2NqI \nFor more information\, please reach out to NMU’s Office of Diversity & Inclusion\, at jschapp@nmu.edu.
