The Colgate University Department of Theater presents the fall 2024 production of Toliver & Wakeman by Kyle Bass.Set in the "dark room of history," steeped in fantasy, and live music, Toliver & Wakeman fantasizes the Civil War experiences of two Union soldiers, one Black, one White, and each harboring a secret. How do they bond while fighting the same enemy, but not the same war? With vibrant theatricality, Toliver & Wakeman explores the fluidity of American identities, the longing for home, the unrelenting grip of history, and the meanings of freedom.Admission is free.Registration through Eventbrite is strongly encouraged to ensure seating.After the performance on Friday, October 18, there will be a talkback about the play with Kyle Bass and Diane Ciccone.Presented by the Department of TheaterSponsored by Christian A. Johnson Fund, Africana and Latin American Studies, Ciccone Commons, Department of English, Department of History, University Studies, and Upstate Institute - Tue 22All dayWatch PartyThe Arts | Bernstein Hall, Experimental Exhibition and Performance Studio

War, Revolution, and the Heart of China, 1937–1948: The Herman Collection of Modern Chinese WoodcutsThis exhibition, an in-depth examination of the modern woodcut movement in the decades leading up to the founding of the People’s Republic of China, will be the first time that one of Picker Art Gallery’s most singular and important collections will be shown in its entirety.The Herman Collection of Modern Chinese Woodcuts contains over 200 works made in China between 1937 and 1948. They were given to The Picker Art Gallery by Professor Emeritus Theodore Herman, who lived in the country during this period, and his wife, Evelyn Mary Chen Shiying Herman. Professor Herman taught at Colgate from 1954 to 1981 in the Geography Department and was the founding director of the Peace and Conflict Studies Program.Coinciding with the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the exhibition of the Herman collection is an extraordinary resource for the study of Chinese art and of pre-Liberation history. The prints in the exhibition can be seen as direct links to the historical events taking place in China in the years leading up to Liberation. Images made between 1937 and 1945 in areas controlled by the Chinese Nationalist forces during the Second Sino-Japanese War chronicle the progress of the war and promoted good relations between the army and the people; others, produced in the areas controlled by the Communist Red Army, encourage resistance against the Japanese but also illustrate how Chinese society could be transformed through socialism; those prints produced during the Civil War expose many injustices amid the post-war social and political upheavals. Finally, many of the images in the exhibition explore wide-ranging subjects and a variety of techniques that offer glimpses into quotidian Chinese life during this period.This exhibition is curated by Leslie Ann Eliet. - Tue 2210:30 AMAllan Hacklin - Then to Now: 30 Years of RoamingThe Arts | Little Hall, Clifford Gallery (101 Little Hall)

Transfigurations: Reimagining the Acoustic Environment Composer and field recordist Early Fern Burlat presents a collection of experimental musical works, which reinterpret the sounds around us. Recordings of fragmentary environmental noise are arranged through sampling, collage, and electronic processing into rhythmic or melodic structures: musical portraits of place that simultaneously decontextualise our familiar acoustic environments and reconstruct them into new depictions of the auditory world. The library of sounds is assembled from a series of field recordings collected by Early with traditional and experimental recording equipment in environments around Central New York, and comprises both recognizable sounds and those hidden beyond the normal limits of human hearing.Co-sponsored by the Art Department - Fri 25All dayWatch PartyThe Arts | Bernstein Hall, Experimental Exhibition and Performance Studio
