SUMMARY:M.F.A. Dance @ the Eleanor D. Wilson Museum
DESCRIPTION:Corpus Mirabilis: The Life and Practices of St. Catherine of Siena and the Recentering of Female Agency and Play in Performance as Resistance. \n\nThesis Performance and Installation by M.F.A. Dance Graduate Student Melissa Miller\n\nEleanor D. Wilson Museum – Hollins Campus\n\nFree Admission\n\nThursday\, June 13\, 2024 – Live Performance\n\n7:30 pm\n\nFriday\, June 14 – June 28\, 2024 – Exhibition\n\nTuesday – Sunday\, 12- 5 pm\n\nThursday – 12-8 pm\n\nCorpus Mirabilis: The Life and Practices of St. Catherine of Siena and the Recentering of Female Agency and Play in Performance as Resistance centers around the life and death of Catherine Benincasa: a 14th-century Italian Tertiary Dominican\, mystic\, influential writer and leader\, and eventual saint\, in the European Catholic Church. Saint Catherine of Siena’s faith practice included a dedication to mortification of the flesh\, practitioners of which believed they should subdue desires\, which are at war with their soul\, by means of self-inflicted suffering. She began her practice of self-harm at the age of eight\, culminating in her death via self-imposed starvation at 33. Not considered suicide by the church leaders of the time\, her death was recorded instead as succumbing to pious fasting and called\, posthumously\, anorexia “mirabilis\,” Latin for “wonderful.” Looking at her life and death will be my point of entry for discussing animosity toward the female body in\, but not restricted to\, high-control Western religious environments. Exploring how these attitudes toward women have been internalized and propagated has urgency for everybody\, female or otherwise.

SUMMARY:No Shame Theatre
DESCRIPTION:No Shame Theatre is an experiential performance lab where writers\, performers\, and audience are constantly changing roles. Anything can happen and usually does in this late night venue for original work. We take the first 15 pieces to walk in the door and there are only three rules: pieces must be original (no copyright violations)\, short (five minutes or less)\, and not break anything (including the law). Inside those rules you can do pretty much anything you’re interested in trying in front of a live audience–plays\, monologues\, songs\, dance\, poetry\, mime\, juggling\, comedy\, tragedy\, Improvisation\, dada\, magic–we’ve even seen people do floral arrangements! Pieces are accepted starting at 10 pm\, doors open at 10:30 pm\, and the show starts at 11 pm\, running on average an hour and a half.

SUMMARY:Unified Auditions 2024
DESCRIPTION:Unified Local Auditions will be held this year at Mill Mountain Theatre’s Waldron Stage on June 22 from 12 to 5 pm and June 23 from 1 to 5 pm.\n\nYou MUST reserve an audition slot in advance. All Hollins Playwrights Festival casting will be done from these auditions\, so in order to be part of that casting pool\, you MUST audition. Representatives from local theatres have also been invited to attend for their own casting purposes or to widen their pool of actors. This year\, we have representatives from Virginia Children’s Theatre\, Exit Pursued by a Bear\, and Attic Productions. In the past\, we’ve also had representatives from Mill Mountain Theatre\, Off The Rails\, and Showtimers! Contact Gwyneth Strope (stropegm1@hollins.edu) if you’re interested in representing an organization.\n\nIf you would like to audition\, prepare a one-minute contemporary monologue (from 1950 to now) that is either comedic or dramatic. Though preferred\, you do not have to be memorized. Email us to request a five- minute slot. You may request a time\, but in order to have the audition run as efficiently as possible\, we will also be assigning times based on availability.\n\nSend your request for an audition slot to Gwyneth Strope (stropegm1@hollins.edu). Please put UNIFIED AUDITIONS in the subject line.\n\nUnless specifically indicated that you would prefer not to be\, all auditioners will be listed on the Roanoke Actors and Directors Facebook Page to help facilitate casting of local actors by area theatres throughout the year. Everyone who auditions will also be photographed on the day of the audition by our archive photographer\, so that we have both your photograph and a record of what you looked like on the day of the audition.\n\nAll requests for audition slots must be received no later than June 12!\n\nIf you have any other questions or don’t have email and would still like to audition\, please call Gwyneth Strope\, the Hollins Theatre producing manager at 540-362-6313. Actors who audition will be entered into our database and may be contacted to be readers or performers in all of our summer events\, including lab readings and Overnight Sensations.

Join us\, won’t you?\n\nAlways FREE and open to the public! No tickets or reservations necessary.
