Linda Hall Lecture Series
The Kansas Cities' Levees: Their Past, Present and Future
We know what happened in New Orleans when the levees broke after Hurricane Katrina. In a city that is below sea level, the levees serve to keep the Mississippi River in its river channel and out of the city. What would happen in Kansas City if our levees were to break?
In a talk on Thursday, May 15, Paul Barber, Chief of Engineering (retired), Kansas City District and Headquarters, and David L. Combs, Chief, Planning Branch, PPM Division, Kansas City District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, present the history of the settlement in the Kansas City area and why levees were needed. Included in the discussion are timing and ownership of the levees; local, state and federal involvement in flood control development in the area; and the impact of major floods. The effectiveness of various flood control facilities (levees and upstream reservoirs) will be addressed regarding the 1903, 1951 and 1993 flood events. Discussion on the impact of the changes on the Kansas River levees (authorized in 1962) on the 1993 flood is also featured. Finally, the reasons for an eighth levee being added to the system, and what is needed in the future to maintain the integrity of the levees will also be addressed. The talk, which is free and open to the public, starts at 5:30 p.m. at Linda Hall Library, 5109 Cherry.

Laurie Anderson's HOMELAND
One of the seminal minds of our time, the critically acclaimed performance artist Laurie Anderson presents her newest work, HOMELAND. A multimedia response to Anderson's own thoughts and reactions in post-Sept. 11 New York City, the work uses the synthetic language of technology and the sensuous language of song writing and poetry to capture Anderson's compound reply.
Known for her visually stunning performances, Anderson's HOMELAND is a mixed discipline musical portrait of contemporary America combining a four-piece band, projected images, computer-altered voices and video screens to touch on the current state of fear in this country, the obsession with security, increasing levels of loneliness and isolation, the power of technology and the gradual loss of freedom.

Alexander String Quartet and Branford Marsalis
Recognized for its extraordinary interpretations of incredible composers, the Alexander String Quartet changes direction and explores classical and jazz music traditions with three-time Grammy winner Branford Marsalis on saxophone to perform Eddie Sauter's seminal work, Focus, a 1961 composition written for jazz musician Stan Getz.
Focus, in particular, capitalizes on the classical tradition of Alexander String Quartet contrasted against the jazz spontaneity of Branford Marsalis to blossom together into musical lyricism.
Commissioned by Getz to demonstrate how classical structure and the soul of the modern era are both legitimate and beautiful when brought together, Focus features Bela Bartok inspired harmonies, textures and melodic string quartet jazz material matched with improvisational saxophone music.

Bill T. Jones/ Arnie Zane Dance Co.
Using sound as art, multimedia images and the artifacts of activism, A Quarreling Pair is a vaudeville-structured theatre-meets-dance production that centers on questions about the world, our role and our participation in it. Choosing not to draw conclusions, but to focus on the question itself, the Bill T. Jones/ Arnie Zane Dance Company has a long history of exploring a number of charged and controversial themes through movement, music and dance.
A Quarreling Pair, the surreal and interpretive staging of a 1946 Jane Bowles puppet play by the same name, tells the story of two argumentative sisters who cannot agree about their place in the world. Through A Quarreling Pair, the legendary Bill T. Jones examines and challenges the merit of activism through a combination of dance, music, words and video.

Sweeney Todd The Demon of Fleet Street
You know the story. You know the legend. Now see this high-concept interpretation of Sweeny Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. This dark production features a nine-member cast performing as both actors and the show's musicians.
Sweeny Todd tells the tale of a man set on revenge after a malicious judge has taken his wife and child and banished him to the penal colonies in Australia. Returning 15 years later to 19th-century London under an assumed identity, Sweeny Todd conspires with an enterprising pie maker in a cutthroat partnership to slice through London's upper crust. Soon Todd's clients are disappearing and somehow becoming the filling for an entirely different kind of pie.
The sinister telling of this unusual tale promises spectacular drama and stirring music.

Metta Quintet plus Special Guests
From the work songs and spirituals that stemmed from the hardship of slavery, to the blues, to ragtime, to swinging big bands of the 1930s, to the rebelliousness of post-war Be-Bop and beyond, Stolen Moments aims to illustrate how jazz rapidly evolved from the single expression of the African-American experience to an ever-flourishing world music that has transcended ethnic and cultural boundaries.
Featuring large screen projections, an original short documentary film and new arrangement of classical jazz repertoire, Stolen Moments highlights the interplay between the jazz movement and the evolution of American culture throughout the 20th century. This program emphasizes the ways in which jazz has acted as a unifying force, bridging cultural, ethnic and economic differences in the creation of the one truly American art form.
As an engaging performance-demonstration, Stolen Moments introduces audiences to jazz music's rich history and to the names, faces and music of some of its many masters.

The Great Tennessee Monkey Trial
Entirely based on original court transcripts, L.A. Theatre Works' The Great Tennessee Monkey Trial uses the format of live in-performance radio theatre, recreated by a renowned cast of actors.
The performance dramatized the famous 1925 Tennessee v. John Scopes "Monkey Trial," which challenged the Butler Act ban on teaching evolution in public schools across the state and was the first trial to be broadcasted on the radio. Featuring actors of outstanding caliber, the cast transports the audience back to the crowded, stifling and intense courtroom in Dayton, Tenn., to experience the momentous trial as it happened.
Fast forward to today, and the same questions are before us. What is it that makes this particular branch of science so controversial? Why are we, 80 years after the famous trial, still echoing the arguments of its great orators, Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan?

Wu Man and Friends
Performing selections from her 2005 album, Wu Man and Friends, Wu Man pays homage to the plucked instrument and explores the dichotomy of the familiar and the foreign with musicians from Uganda, the Ukraine and the southern Appalachian Mountains.
Wu Man pairs the pipa with other plucked instruments from across the world to find the similarities and the differences between styles, traditions and locations.
Joining her at the Lied Center is James Makubuya playing the sharp tonality of the Ugandan Endongo and Adungu and Lee Knight playing the quick twang of the North American banjo.
Wu Man, a classically trained and internationally renowned string musician, fuses the music of the pipa - a lute-like instrument with history of more than 2,000 years in China - together with the music of other traditional cultures, as well as contemporary songs and artists.

Doubt
“Doubt,” a Pulitzer Prize winning play wraps its characters in suspicion and moral uncertainty. "What do you do when you're not sure?" Father Flynn asks the audience in the opening line. His colleague, Sister Aloysius, is an old-school nun who insists that her students not be coddled: "Every easy choice today will have its consequence tomorrow. Mark my words." Flynn, following the Second Vatican Council's directive, believes the clergy should be more accessible to the parish and be thought of "as members of their family." These two schools of thought come into direct conflict when Aloysius suspects Flynn of "interfering" with the school's first black student. | Manhattan Arts center

Tree of Life - Origins and Evolution
Tree of Life - Origins and Evolution, is the product of a two-year collaborative Creative Campus project, culminating in an exciting evening of music, dance and theatre exploring the intricacy, challenge and revelation and performing arts.
Tree of Life features the contributions of several academic departments at KU, the Lied Center and a number of resident and touring artists including commissioned involvement of two-time Grammy Award-winning David Balakrishnan, founder of the Turtle Island String Quartet.
