COMMUNITY CULTURE PREVIEW
Experimental ‘We’
unexpected and fun
By KELLY MARTINEK
Daily Arts Writer
On Wednesday, the School of
Music, Theatre & Dance Digital
Music Ensemble will perform
works by and
inspired
by
composer
Alvin Lucier at
the University
of
Michigan
Museum
of
Art.
This
performance
is a part of
their SMTD@
UMMA
series. For the last seven years,
UMMA has hosted six to eight
SMTD
concerts
based
on
special
exhibits,
permanent
installations, or simply on using
the unique space of the museum
as a part of this ongoing
partnership with SMTD.
Lucier’s
works
include
experimental music and sound
installations
that
challenge
the way listeners perceive and
define music. His best-known
work, “I am Sitting in a Room,”
is on display at UMMA until
mid-May. This special exhibit
will be open for half an hour
following Wednesday’s concert.
“This will not be your typical
concert-going
experience,”
said Lisa Borgsdorf, UMMA’s
manager of public programs.
“You never really know what to
expect, which is part of the fun
of it.”
The Digital Music Ensemble
is directed by Music Technology
Prof. Stephen Rush. They will
be performing one of Rush’s
original works, “Music on the
Fish Line,” inspired by Lucier.
The concert will be held in
the museum apse — the large,
high ceiling area at the center
of the galleries in the old wing.
There will be a fishing line, held
taut over the length of the room
and mic’d, which the performers
will press in different spots
roughly labeled zero through
nine. On this fishing line, the
performers will “play” their
phone numbers, which results
in different pitches and a
complex, if entirely random,
sound experience.
“I’m taking something that
you wouldn’t think of as being
interesting sonically, and it
ends up sounding like a pretty
complicated string ensemble,”
Rush said.
The ensemble will also be
performing two lesser known
works by Lucier, “Vespers”
and “Heavier than Air.” In
“Vespers,”
performers
are
blindfolded,
roaming
the
performance space of the apse
trying to find each other using
cricket clickers, a children’s
toy. In “Heavier than Air,”
performers speak “meaningless
memories” into carbon dioxide-
filled balloons. Since carbon
dioxide is significantly heavier
than air, listeners can’t hear the
performers’ words clearly until
the balloon is pointed directly at
them, creating a unique sound
experience.
Guest
composer
Judy Dunaway, a student of
Lucier, has collaborated with
the ensemble to bring this work
to life.
The Digital Music Ensemble
was chosen by UMMA and
SMTD to perform this concert
because
Rush’s
interest
lies in this kind of creative
experimentation with sound
and music, similar to Lucier’s
work.
A key element of this kind of
performance art is its virtual
non-replicability.
While
the
concept
remains
the
same,
each performance is somewhat
random and, in that way, one
of a kind. It is also the nature
of this kind of composition
that it doesn’t translate well
to a recording or to a screen.
You can listen to Lucier’s “I am
Sitting in a Room” on YouTube,
but it isn’t the same kind of
experience.
“Some things you just have to
be there for,” Rush said.
Most performances fit into
a distinct category — a play,
a musical, a concert — which
gives the audience a clue of
what’s in store. “We are Playing
in a Room” doesn’t quite fit into
any of these categories, but
Rush says there can be value in
not knowing what to expect.
“People do really want to
go ‘Wow! I’ve never had that
experience before,” Rush said.
“And we’re not just doing weird
crap for the sake of doing weird
crap, by the way. In the end, this
is good music. It’s not music you
would hear on the radio, which
is another good reason to go.”
STYLE RECAP
NOiR brings fashion
By MARIAM SHEIKH and
HANNAH SPARKS
Daily Style Editor and Daily Arts
Writer
Since 1999 NOiR Runway
Fashion has been bringing Ann
Arbor fashion, philanthropy and
awareness of the importance of
community involvement. The
University of Michigan-estab-
lished
organization’s
efforts
culminate each year with their
annual fashion show — this year,
the theme was the “Elements.”
The organization defines “ele-
ment” as a group of people sin-
gled out within a larger context,
which is indicative of the orga-
nization’s commitment to their
sense of identity. The extensive
planning of their fashion shows
often starts immediately after
the closing of the previous year’s
show.
“I’ve
really
seen
(NOiR)
revolutionize fashion and phi-
lanthropy on campus,” said
first-year School of Social Work
graduate student, Kendall John-
son, the president of NOiR. “We
are a very unique organization
in that we mix fashion and phi-
lanthropy.”
All of the proceeds from the
show go to a particular charity
each year.
This year, NOiR chose the
WIN Network, formerly known
as “Sew up the Safety Net,” to
donate their proceeds to. The
WIN Network is run through
Henry Ford Health System and
helps to reduce the infant mor-
tality rate in Detroit by provid-
ing disadvantaged new mothers
with the necessary supportive
resources to raise their child.
When it comes to thinking
outside the box, Johnson notes
that NOiR tries to “think big and
go big.” She said one of the big-
gest challenges in holding their
fashion shows are the costs asso-
ciated with it. Putting on a show
of such size and scope is expen-
sive, so members of NOiR are
constantly fundraising.
“It takes a lot of hard work and
a lot of hours,” to host the event
with success, Johnson said.
That work appears to be pay-
ing off, though. With a record-
breaking number of 550 tickets
sold, the organization complete-
ly sold out for this year’s event.
The preparation for the run-
way show starts well in advance,
such as casting calls for models.
NOiR holds the casting calls
as early as the fall each year.
Though members of the orga-
nization are usually locals, the
model calls are unique in that
they are not exclusive to Univer-
sity students. In fact, Johnson
noted that many of the models
in this year’s show hailed from
many different universities and
colleges throughout the state,
including
Eastern
Michigan
University and Central Michi-
gan University.
To be considered to walk in
the show, models must audi-
tion, which may include show-
casing their signature “walk.”
Out of the 100 people who audi-
tioned this year, only 47 were
selected. This selective process
was clearly showcased through
each model’s impressive run-
way presence at the show. In
addition to being featured in
the show, both NOiR models
and executive board members
were required to complete a set
number of community service
hours.
When it comes to the fashion
itself, NOiR tracks the latest
trends, and tries to cater their
clothes to the theme of the show.
Even amid the typical Michigan
snowy weather, the energetic
atmosphere inside the tent on
Ingalls Mall never faltered. The
fashion-week
inspired
event
was meticulously planned and
calculated, from the playlist
executed by DJ Vincent, all the
way down to the model walks.
“Elements”
was
compiled
of ten scenes, with roughly 18
looks per scene. Elements’s
segments included: Earth, Air,
Water and Fire. The final seg-
ment of the show is always the
NOiR scene, which was more
emblematic of the organization
as a whole. It showcased NOiR-
inspired outfits styled by famed
celebrity
stylist
Dutch
the
Omen, who has styled pop-cul-
ture icons such as Rihanna and
Nicki Minaj. The four elemental
scenes featured clothing and
designs from local Ann Arbor
stores, such as Bivouac, Renais-
sance and Pitaya, as well as
handmade pieces from aspiring
student designers. The Univer-
sity does not have a fashion or
textiles major, so it was refresh-
ing to see designs not only from
local stores, but trendy pieces
that came straight from the
minds of dedicated and young
fashion designers.
The first scene, Earth, was a
showcase of lingerie and Ama-
zon-themed clothes. It featured
minimalist work from students
with a touch of subtleness and
craftsmanship. Featuring cami-
soles and slips with a nude pal-
ette, the lingerie models wowed
with ornate gold headpieces and
ethereal makeup to complete
the look and feel of the set. A
white lace bodysuit, in particu-
lar, stunned audience members.
With both male and female mod-
els, this scene embraced the true
forms of the masculine and fem-
inine bodies.

In releasing its original series,
Hulu has bucked the trend set by
Netflix and Amazon Prime. Unlike
its
competi-
tors, the net-
work puts out
an episode of
its show week-
ly, instead of
putting
out
entire seasons
at
the
same
time.
Hulu
made its name
by
making
episodes available as they air
from major broadcast and cable
networks, so this makes sense
for them as a whole. However, in
the case of “The Path,” the show
might have benefited from releas-
ing more than two episodes at
the same time. There’s nothing in
“The Path” that’s explicitly wor-
thy of harsh criticism, but the first
two episodes don’t do the legwork
to support what is actually an
intriguing premise.
“The Path” follows a wide array
of new and old followers of a cult
called “Meyerism.” There’s Mary
Cox (Emma Greenwell, “Shame-
less”), a person who was “res-
cued” by the group from a tornado
and is adjusting to life in her new
community. Cal Roberts (Hugh
Dancy, “Hannibal”), the de facto
leader of the religion’s East Coast
section, tries to expand the Mey-
erism’s reach. Meanwhile, Eddie
Lane (Aaron Paul, “Breaking Bad”)
struggles with his commitment to
faith after catching the leaders in a
lie while on a trip to the headquar-
ters to “climb the ladder,” while his
wife, Sarah (Michelle Monaghan,
“True Detective”), tries to figure
out what’s going on.
Within each of these stories,
there’s something the writers can
grab onto and leverage to make an
absorbing series. There are ques-
tions of faith and the meaning of
religion in the face of personal
struggles, but the show doesn’t
quite do enough to play with them.
Take Eddie, whose struggle puts
him in conflict with his wife and
everything he holds dear. The
show is obviously trying to get this
idea to stretch across the 10-epi-
sode season by having him waver
back and forth a lot in the first
two episodes. Once he reaches a
point of conviction, the story may
gain momentum. Until then, it just
leaves me wanting more.
Without strength in the story,
the drama leaves the intrigue-
building to its cast, which is
brimming with talented actors
who elevate their material. The
series marks the return to televi-
sion of Paul, who was remark-
able throughout the entire run of
“Breaking Bad.” All the compelling
elements of Eddie’s early struggle
can be attributed to Paul’s perfor-
mance. Dancy, who was robbed of
multiple Emmys for his work on
“Hannibal,” conveys the aura of
mystery around his character that
you would expect from a cult lead-
er. His storyline is going nowhere
in the first episodes, but he’s build-
ing enough dimensions that when
the show does decide to use his
character, he’ll be ready.
Somewhere inside the stories
and themes of “The Path,” there’s
a powerful show waiting to open
its eyes completely. As it moves
through the first season, there’s
potential for the payoff of these sto-
ries to resonate strongly and deep-
ly. However, it’s just not there yet
after the first two hours. At least,
like any good cult, the series did
leave me wanting to learn more.
