Page Two THE MICHIGAN DAILY Wednesday, Mdreh 22, 1972 Page Two THE MICHIGAN DAILY Wednesday, March 22, 1972 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."
