Creative Arts Festival and other events
t r nc n narti c .n n .n ric :.srin.c: r
While studying at the UGrI or
even walking through the Diag
on a pleasant spring afternoon,
you may not realize the abun-
dance of talented artists-writ-
ers, poets, painters, musicians,
dramatists-in your midst.
During this month's annual
Ann Arbor Creative Arts Festi-
val, however, their presence will
be difficult to overlook as they
emerge from various crevices of
creative activity and contempla-
tion to participate in a variety of
events and workshops.
The Festival, sponsored by the
University Activities C e n t e r
(UAC), has a relatively long his-
tory' of scheduling speakers and
performers from outside of the
Ann Arbor community. This
year, however, the emphasis is
on local talent and participation.
Highlighting this year's festi-
val is a "Springfest" aimed at
bringing people together to en-
joy their own music, poetry and
dancing.
"Springfest" will begin this
Saturday afternoon with four
hours of arts and crafts demon-
strations and workshops. Spe-
cifically scheduled are a poetry
reading at 1:00 and a quilting
bee at 2:00, Everyone is encour-
aged to bring their own petry
to share.
Later that evening, the Union
Ballroom will be transformed in-
to a coffeehouse featuring folk
music by Sue Geiger and poetry
readings by local artists Ken
Fifer, Larry Ross and Terry
Patten. Again, everyone is en-
couraged to bring their ownpoe-
try and instruments. Free re-
freshments will be served.
Sunday afternoon there will be
an art fair, with overel0 artists
displaying and selling their work.
And that evening, the ballroom
will set the scene for interna-
tional folk and square dancing.
Sponsored by the UM Folklore
Society and the UM Folk Dance
Club, the evening will offer free
dancing lessons.
This year's festival will also
feature two collections of experi-
mental films.
Tonight, films by Beatle John
Lennon and his wife, Yoko Ono
will be shown, including "Rap
II," "Fly," "Apotheosis," and
"Erection."
"Rape II" is a forty minute
film where the cameramen fol-
low a German girl on her visit
to London. She doesn't :peak
English. They don't answer any
of her questions, they don't talk
to her, they follow close to her
heels through the streets, and
into her room.
"Fly" is a, twenty-minute film
showing a fly crawling or sitting
on a nude female body. And
"Erection" is a twenty-minute
film of the slow changes as a
hotel is built and we follow it
through the entire construction
process.
The second collection of films,
"suggested for mature audi-
ences," is scheduled for net
weekend. Included among the
twelve films are Silent Maority,
"a social comment on Middle
America; a b o u t people who
speak, but have nothing to say,"
I Don't Know, "a love story be-
tween a boy who thinks he's a
girl and a girl who thinks she's
a boy," and This Is the Home
of Mrs. Levant Graham," a
sensitive portrait of a black ur-
Some samplings from the Undergraduate Art Show
ban mother and the large, loose-
knit family which surrounds her,
reflecting the problems, aspira-
tions and culture of those in the
ghetto existence."
The festival, will also include
the University Dancers presenta-
tion of "Dance Concert Week-
end I."
This program will include
numbers performed by the Uni-
versity's elect modern dance
company "Concert Dance The-
ater," the "Just Moving Com-
pany," an African dance and
modern dance group, Nancy Car-
roll Abbey and Pauline Soffa in
a ballet pas de deux, and Gay
Delanghe of the Lucas Hoving
Dance Company of New York.
