Stratford Festival’s Coriolanus at the Hop: A landmark theatrical production, a US premiere and much more

8/28/2018 by Rebecca Bailey Leave a Comment

This fall, the Hop launches a partnership with North America’s preeminent Shakespeare company, the Stratford Festival, involving the US premiere of historic and critically acclaimed production of Shakespeare’s Coriolanus, directed by genre-defying theatermaker Robert Lepage. Coriolanus will be presented at Dartmouth on Thursday, November 29, through Sunday, December 2, in The Moore Theater of the Hop, in four public performances and two school matinee shows (which will be seen by hundreds of Upper Valley secondary school students). However, these performances are just the tip of the … [Read more...]

‘Keep your values at the heart of your art’: Art Awardees hear from acclaimed alum filmmaker

5/30/2018 by Guest Contributor Leave a Comment

By Michael Bodel, Hop Director of External Affairs Huge congratulations to the student Arts Awards winners for their work creating and supporting the arts at the Hop, around Dartmouth, and in the world. Students were recognized in theater, music and filmmaking in a May 29 event that included brief performances and screenings of student work. Ricki Stern '87 gave the keynote at the event. Her impactful, far-reaching documentaries cover topics from a Burmese soldier-turned-activist, to the Boston Marathon bombing, to Joan Rivers. True fact! Ricki revealed her obsession with failure … [Read more...]

What a life in the arts looks like: Hop interns see shows and meet arts professionals in New York City

5/30/2018 by Guest Contributor Leave a Comment

The 2017/2018 Hop interns were in New York City May 10–13 to explore the arts as the capstone of their internship experience. This year we not only spent time in Manhattan at the Lincoln Center, Manhattan Theatre Club, and Martha Graham Dance Company, but also made our way to Brooklyn to visit Mark Morris Dance Group (MMDG) and BRIC. For the first time since the Hop Internship Program began, all of the interns are women so it was especially meaningful to meet with so many women who hold senior leadership positions within these iconic arts organization. In keeping with tradition, we also saw … [Read more...]

SHIFT: A summer celebration of the creative, disruptive spirit of the 1960s—and today

5/16/2018 by Rebecca Bailey Leave a Comment

Summer 2018 at Dartmouth College’s Hopkins Center for the Arts will open with a series called SHIFT, a vibrant and varied array of live arts, June 22-30. SHIFT includes works, both free and ticketed, that freshly consider music, drama and identity, bringing together diverse art forms and harkening back to the creative disruption of the 1960s. The week brings together student, faculty, alumni and visiting artists, diverse art forms, and different parts of the campus—and the events link powerfully to particular Dartmouth courses as well as to current issues of justice, tradition and … [Read more...]

Creativity – and technology – link two Hop Ensembles at opposite ends of the Hop

5/15/2018 by Rebecca Bailey Leave a Comment

  It began as a conversation over drinks last spring, between Dartmouth Dance Ensemble co-leader Rebecca Stenn and Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra Director Filippo Ciabatti. Wouldn't it be great to collaborate? they opined. OK, so what music would Ciabatti most like to perform? Without missing a beat (he is a conductor, after all), he named Petrushka, Igor Stravinsky's 1911 orchestral work Right away, Stenn and Ciabatti called DDE co-leader John Heginbotham, and three began hatching plans with others in the Hop. One big problem, however: no Hop theater could accommodate both a full … [Read more...]

In a musical send-off, Dartmouth seniors embark for “The Deep Land”

5/8/2018 by Rebecca Bailey Leave a Comment

When Taylor Ho Bynum was first hired as the new director of Dartmouth’s all-student Barbary Coast Jazz Ensemble, his new colleagues warned him that running a Hop ensemble gets complicated “when students leave to The Deep Land.” He soon learned that they were actually referring to “the D Plan,” Dartmouth’s longstanding student scheduling system in which students take off-campus terms at various points in the year, not just in summer. For musical ensembles like the Barbary Coast, this means the number of participating students and the instruments they play can vary greatly over a single academic … [Read more...]

5/3/2018 by Arts Ambassador Leave a Comment

By Sarah Hong '21, Hopkins Center Arts Ambassador Have you ever gone to a classical music concert and wondered when to clap? At the start of his concert in the Hop's Spaluding Auditorium on Wednesday, April 25, pianist Inon Barnatan eased the audience’s fears when he announced that for the first half he would play a continuous 45-minute program without break. The program was his rendition of a Baroque dance suite, incorporating pieces by different composers across different centuries.

Glee Club revisits powerful Civil Rights story in May 6 concert

4/25/2018 by Rebecca Bailey Leave a Comment

NPR's Morning Edition on Wednesday, April 25, included a fascinating segment on poet Kevin Young which made special mention of the oratorio Repast, for which Young wrote the beautiful text - and which had an important premiere by the Dartmouth College Glee Club. A movement of Repast is on the program of the Glee Club concert on Sunday, May 6, 2 pm, in Spaulding Auditorium. As the final spring concert of the Glee Club under retiring director Louis Burkot, the May 6 program revisits some works especially important in Burkot's 37 years at the group's helm, and Repast is certainly one of … [Read more...]

In his 28 years, Scott Smedinghoff gave a tremendous amount of music to the communities he lived in, including the Upper Valley, where he was a doctoral student in Dartmouth's Department of Mathematics. A May 5 concert by the Dartmouth College Wind Ensemble celebrates how music can live on after death, with a program that is dedicated to Smedinghoff and includes one of the last works written by a titan in wind band music.
