FACULTY
IN THE ARTS
CURRICULAR CONNECTIONSMillersville University’s Office of Visual and Performing Arts is always looking for new ways to support faculty members in their teaching and to enrich the classroom experience. Whether it’s offering experiential learning with curriculum-based arts in the community or inviting artists to speak to classes about politics, family, or cultural exchange, we are committed to supporting the academic mission of Millersville University through the power of the arts. We also hope to foster connections between MU classes and visiting artists. If you haven’t already discovered the breadth and variety of performances at our two performing and visual arts centers, we strongly encourage you to take full advantage of our world-class music, theater and dance engagements as an educational tool for your students. This mailing will serve as a brief resource to that end. Here we will highlight a number of upcoming spring semester performances and courses that we feel may have curricular connections to those performances. You may recognize others. Please peruse our full 2014-2015 brochure of events available in hard copy or online at ArtsMU.com.
FREE TICKETSIf you are interested in inviting your whole class to any of these performances as part of your program of study, we will gladly provide free tickets to all of those students (and you, as well), subject to availability. Just e-mail Lydia Yeager of the Student Services Office at lyeager@ssi.millersville.edu to make arrangements. To assure seating, we recommend that you book at least one week prior to the scheduled performance date. (You may also cancel a booking up to one week prior). Moreover, a number of artists listed here will visit Millersville University for a period of time leading up to their performances or afterwards. We support opportunities to bring these visiting artists off the stage and into the larger campus community.
VISITING ARTIST RESIDENCIESResident artists offer Millersville students, faculty, staff and community members unforgettable personal interactions via classroom visits, master classes, panel discussions, lecture-demonstrations, and social events. Each term, we will offer a number of opportunities for the campus to interact with the visiting artists who come to perform at the Ware and Winter Centers. These occasions can both enrich the performance experience and illuminate the artistic, social, political or spiritual aspect of the artists’ work for your students. A schedule of artist availability for such complementary programming can be found on the following pages. Please feel free to suggest other possibilities that might suit one of your courses. E-mail Barry Kornhauser, Assistant Director of Campus & Community Engagement at Barry.Kornhauser@Millersville.edu or call him at 871-7812 if you see a curricular connection we can pursue together. Your students will thank you for it!
