HARRINGTON DISTINGUISHED VISITING PROFESSOR LECTURE
Survival of the Friendliest
Dr. Brian Hare, Professor of Evolutionary Anthropology, Duke University
Monday, April 15, at 7:00 p.m.

Gamble Auditorium, Kulas Musical Arts Building

The only way to understand what it is to be human is to know what it is like to be not human.

Come on a journey with me from the forests of the Congo Basin to the steppes of Siberia to explore the minds of our closest relatives, bonobos and chimpanzees, and dogs – our closest friends. Find out how the secret inner lives of these animals help us understand what makes us unique and how our minds came to be.

We will arrive at the conclusion that it was friendliness that powerfully shaped the bodies and minds of the animals we meet along the way. This conclusion also leads to the realization that our species evolved for friendliness.

Comparing our friendly nature to other animals then solves the paradox of human kindness and cruelty and points to the need for cross-group friendships to encourage a friendlier future.

MEASURE FOR MEASURE
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Laura Welsh Berg

Wednesday-Saturday, April 17-20, at 7:30 p.m.

Sunday, April 21, at 2 p.m.

Measure for Measure is widely considered to be a 'dark' comedy by William Shakespeare. It follows a young novitiate in Vienna, whose brother is the victim of an unexpected crackdown on an old and largely ignored law. As she attempts to beg for his life, she discovers a judicial system that has more to do with vengeance than justice. Measure examines sexual politics through a particularly gendered lens, and asks: when faced with corruption of power, how do we fix broken systems?

TESTING GROUND SPRING EDITION

Program Two 4/24: 10K Movement presents
P R O P U L S I O N

Directed by Samuel A. McIntosh, this program is a dance response to Gino Serveni’s paintings during the Italian futurism movement and their relations to Street Dance genres Animation, Popping, Tutting techniques, and our overall human progression. Propulsion plays with the concepts presented during this period; speed, industry, technology, dynamics, and war! This work is a call to action for individuals to grow and not plateau. Movers will explore both the gifts and drawbacks of such agility and forward-thinking while painting an eye-catching abstract environment.

Program Three 4/25: IN THE MOMENT
Interpretations on a common theme, danceworks created by BW faculty, alums and guests to music written and performed by BW Music Theatre Major, Ryan Sweeney
