9, ARTS The Michigan Daily Thursday, January 14, 1982 Page 5 > Folk and a lot, lot more Steve Hook LOCAL RESIDENTS CAN witness, in systematic succession, the many disparate shades of "folk music" Saturday, when the Ann Arbor Folk Festival marks its fifth anniversary with two concerts at the Michigan Thea'ter. David Bromberg, whose Ann Arbor following is perhaps his most loyal nationwide, will headline both shows. Proceeds from the event, as always, will help the Ark Coffeehouse make en- ds meets for another year. It is precisely Bromberg's meandering, mixed-bag approach to his music-alternating between folk- influenced works and those of jazz, blues and country-that personifies the diversity of the scheduled performers. The "folk music" umbrella is very en- compassing, and it pften takes a festival such as this to vividly'reflect the genre's range. "Sub-headliners" for each show will be Tom Paxton, a veteran American coffeehouse performer, and Kate and Anna McGarrigle, popular French- Canadian songwriters who are often sought for live appearances but rarely tour outside of Montreal. Dave Sigling, who operates the Ark along with his wife, Linda, apknowledges that this event could just as easily be labeled a "Folk-related Festival." Describing the current "total upheaval" in the folk music field, whose boundaries are increasingly am- bigious, Siglin explained that "You can't say what isn't folk music anymore." Festival patrons will hear more different types of music in one day than they'll hear for the rest of the year," Siglin said.. The exact itinerary has yet to be established, due to the notorious minute arrangements that often ,precede such affairs. The actual agen- da will become known "about five minutes before show time," according to Siglin. What is known is the festival cast: Owen McBride will serve as emcee for both shows. He is a traditional Irish- born folk musician, whose songs and stories charmed the third annual event in 1980. Joel Mabus, a talented singer and even-more-talented instrumen- talist (guitar, banjo), will also appear. Ann Arbor's "Gemini" folk music duo will perform with Percy "Mr. Bones" Danforth, the ageless percussion whiz who frequently pops ontosthe Ark stage. For comic relief, mime 0. J. Ander- son will appear at the festival. A Own McBride will emcee this weekend's Folk Festival. 'Dances'at Trueblo W ILLIE FEUER and Susan Matheke, former members ,of the Viola Dance Company, will be performing "Dances For 2" this weekend at the Trueblood Theatre. The production has been performed nationally as well as locally since 1979. Both artists are presently teaching and choreographing at the University. Premiering on Friday and running through Sunday, the performances will consist of three duets that were featured in New York City last June. Feuer and Matheke will also be performing new solos. Feuer's Ether will be accompanied by an essay, "Z-ing and Being," a parody on Dr. George Sheehan's Running and Being, read by James Martin. Gregory Ballard, com- poser and resident musician in the University's .Dance Department, composed a score for piano and alto saxophone to be performed with Matheke's solo piece, In- terior. Ballard will perform the piece with saxaphonist Mark Kieme. Graciously cooperating with "Dances For 2" are lighting and costume designers, R. Craig Wolf and Nancy Jo Smith. This will be the only performance by "Dances For 2" until the outdoor performances in April. -Gina Di Maria I c devoted student of dance, theater, pup- petry, and the art pf mime itself, An- derson has entertained audiences in Europe and the United States. Back to the tunes, the Hotmud Family, an exciting string band from southern Ohio, are scheduled to appear. Finally, Billy Novick and Guy Van Dusen have been added to the festival. Novick is an accomplished jazz clarinetist and Van Dusen a guitarist. Their collaboration Saturday-a rarity-should furher complement the festival's already impressive diversity. Ticket sales are reportedly quite brisk for Saturday's folk festival. Siglin explained that the.eyent has "already broken even." Last year, the festival was scheduled for Super Bowl Sunday, and combined with other scheduling and programming oversights, did not draw well, and prompted the Pete Seeger benefit several weeks later. Having avoided such oversights this year, festival organizers expect a fruit- ful fundraiser. Good news for the Ark, and its patrons. Support the March of Dimes BIRTH DEFECTS FOUNDATION I. I I Campus films_ A selection of campusfil'm highlights. ..By Richard Campbell Bad Timing/A Sensual Obsession (Nicholas Roeg, 1980) Roeg is a master of visual and sound montages. His earlier efforts, Walkabout and Don't Look Now, were as interesting for the wdy that they were put together, as for their abstract plots. Art Garfunkel stars in this story of sex, power, and ob- session, as a timid psychologist finding love much too suddenly. (Thursday, January 14; Aud. A -7:00, 9:00) The Big Sleep (Howard Hawks, 1946) Any movie starring Humphrey Bogart isWorth seeing, especially one where he is teamed with Lauren Bacall. But this film has the addition of a witty and con- voluted script, based on the Raymond Chandler 'mystery. In 1979 The Big Sleep was remade into a boring film, that looked as tired as the star, Robert Mitchum. The original, however, is a compact, involving thriller, practically the epitome of the genre. (Friday, January 15; Lorch Hall - 7:00, 9:00) Kind Hearts and Coronets (Robert Hamer, 1949) Alec Guiness, in his prime, doing what he does to perfec- tion-subtle, British comedy. Guiness does not star in this film, instead he portrays almost the entire supporting cast-eight people who are related to one another. His sublime performances perfectly complement the dry humor and historical angle of -this sophisticated movie. (Friday, January it Hutchins Hall-7:00, 9:00) The Cars That Eat People (Peter NOON LUNCHEON Soup & Sandwich $1 FRIDAY, JAN. 15 JOHN POWELL, organizer of. "local S.C.LC. and former associate of Martin Luther King: "THE CONTINUATION OF DR. KING'S VISION FOR THE 80's" Guild House $02 Monroe Weir, 1977) Don't be thrown by the ab- surd title. This paraody of the traditional B-movie was directed by the man who brought you Picnic at Hanging Rock (also showing tonight), The Last Wave, and Gallipoli. Above all else, Weir can tell a story about people that captures their character. Even in this absurd Jaws rip-off, the people are compelling. (Saturday, January 16; MLB4-7:00,10:20) A Clockwork Orange (Stanley Kubrick, 1971) Anthony Burgess' fan- ciful vision of a violent future is brought to the screen via Stanley Kubrick's epic style. The film has its flaws, more noticeable a decade after its premier. It tends towards unnecessary hysteria;. many are put off by Clockwork's screaming tone. But the film turns out to be a more accurate portrayal of the insanity of western civilization with each passing year. The movie works mainly through the cocky acting of Malcom McDowell, ever-after typecast as the punk, in the lead role as Alex. (Saturday, January 16; Lorch Hall 7:00, 9:30) The Tin Drum (Victor Schlandorff, 1980) Gunther Grass' masterful novel is 375 N MAPLE 769-1300 BARGAIN MATINEES $2.50 Before 6PM-Sun STEVE MARTIN 4:30 H Pennies UNIED ATST an even more masterful movie. This story of a young boy, who stops growing when he sees the adult world full of deception and cruelty, is overpowering. Schlandorff has a wide grasp of cinema, using anything and everything. that you can do with a piece of film to get the bizarre tale of Oskar across. (Sunday, January 17; Nat. Sci. - 7:00, 9:30) The Thin Man (W.S. VanDyke, 1934) The first detective story that combined grace, wit, and a pandering to the common man. William Powell and Myrna Loy star as the very modern couple, who, between rapid fire one- liners, -take on the job of investigating the disappearance of an old inventor (the thin man). The film set the style of sharp writing for years afterward. (Sunday, January 17; Lorch Hall 7:00, 10:40) On The Waterfront (Elia Kazan, 1954) See Brando before he became the prima donna of motion-pictures. Second only to Streetcar Named Desire, his performance as the bum on his way to "paluka-ville" presents a balanced picture of brooding violence and brutish charm. Kazan, as in many of his films, has added a marvelous supporting cast, including Eve Marie Saint, Karl Malden, Lee J. Cobb, and Rod Steiger. The Rockey-esque ending will leave you breathless. (Wednesday, January 20; 7:00) t , 1 1 'Raiders' top draw HOLLYWOOD '(UPI)-The Hollywood Reporter, a movieland trade paper, announced that 11 percent fewer films earned $10 million or more during 1981 than in 1980. All the same, some films managed to set box-office tur- nstiles spinning. "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was 1981's champion with $90.4 million raked in at the box office, followed by "Superman II" which earned $65 million. Other top box office films of 1981 were "9 to 5," $60 million; "Stripes" and "Any Which Way You Can," $40 million each; "Cannonball Run," $37 million; "Arthur," $34 million; "Four Seasons," $26.8 million; "For' Your Eyes Only," $25.4 million; "The Fox and The Hound," $18 million and "Cheech & Chong's Night Dreams" $17.5 million.
