“Not only did [Hop artist Tanya Tagaq] fit into the landscape we were studying last week (Arctic), but [the artist] was also able to bring to the class a discussion of culture and social issues—oppression, inequality, etc. of the indigenous Inuit culture of northern Canada. I thought that was extremely eye-opening

and brave of her to step out and vocalize the causes she fights for.”

Emma (Yu Zhu) Mei ‘17MUS 17/FILM 47: Sonic Landscapes

“I loved hearing [the artist’s] perspective and think his talk was one of the most memorable that I’ve seen. I love inferring the cultural differences from a talk like his. I loved the message of the power of music and it’s impact on global health! He was a great storyteller, which is what humans crave – in addition to music! Music’s power in global health is something that may be

overlooked but I felt was powerful in his talk!”

Each term, Hopkins Center artists share experiential learning opportunities with an average of 14 academic departments. Whether it’s commissioning new music inspired by research in STEM labs, facilitating experiential learning with curriculum-based arts in the community, or inviting artists to speak to classes about politics, family, spiritual life, activism and cultural exchange—we are committed to supporting the academic mission of Dartmouth College through the power of the arts.

This summer, the Hop is throwing a free, all-ages party of music and dance in a new series called “Free For All,” part of the Hop’s Community Venture Initiative. Three Thursday evenings feature contagiously danceable concerts on the Dartmouth Green with pre-concert dance lessons on a special outdoor dance floor. The concerts, by renowned Latin, zydeco and swing dance bands, invite the Dartmouth community to celebrate the joy of music and dance together. Additionally, two Hanover favorites return to their home-away-from-home at the Hop: Pilobolus presents a program of new works and old favorites, and Ken burns shares his latest work-in-progress documentary.

Along with visiting artists and films, the Hop joins the Theater Department to present original student and alumni work and continues its partnership with New York Theatre Workshop. See pages 17-22 of the guide for these recently announced titles, artists and curricular connections.

If you haven’t already discovered how the Hop can support teaching and learning on campus, we encourage you to take advantage of our world class performances and films as an educational tool for your students. Consider this Curricular Connections Guide your invitation! DID YOU KNOW?

You can hold a block of tickets for purchase by your class by emailing the Hopkins Center Box Office at [email protected]. Subject to availability and some restrictions, each faculty member bringing a class to a performance will receive one FREE TICKET to the show for him/herself.

Spaulding Auditorium • 7 pm

The Vietnam War, the next film by Ken Burns and longtime collaborator Lynn Novick, is a ten-part, 18-hour documentary series that weaves “bottom up” testimonials from soldiers with the “top down” account of the military’s goals, resulting in a groundbreaking 360-degree narrative of the war.

Vietnam debuts on PBS in 2017 and is currently in final production. Ken brings a rough-cut episode to the Hop audience for a remarkable evening. He’ll detail the creative process behind each project: the integration and balance of on-camera interviews, third-person narration, archival footage and photographs, music, sound effects and live cinematography. This is a rare opportunity to experience how Ken and his talented team craft their extraordinary films.

Two-time Tony nominee Alison Fraser stars in this minimalist horror play about craving what terrifies us most. Marks’ plays have been developed by New York Theatre Workshop, the Cherry Lane Theatre and others, and his Another Medea was workshopped at Dartmouth by NYTW two summers ago.

Saturday, august 15


OBIE winner Michael Friedman, who wrote music and lyrics for the hit history rock-musical Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson (“rowdy, dopey and devastatingly shrewd”—The New York Times), offers this work-in-progress theatrical history of popular song in the sheet music era—from 1846, when the first nation-wide hit tune was written by Stephen Foster, to 1923, when Bessie Smith’s recording triumph forever changed the economics of song-making. Commissioned by the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Pop “is about the politics of pop music, and also the joy of pop music, and also the ugliness of pop music,” Friedman says. “And it’s about money.” The five-member cast will be directed by prolific Off Broadway theater artist Trip Cullman.

Saturday, august 22


A new solo theater work written and performed by acerbic humorist Wong, Journal is part plushy TED talk, part amateur hip-hop extravaganza, and part travelogue as it breaks down the complexities of global poverty, privilege and economic theory. Using uneasy-to-read charts, live hashtag wars, and riveting slideshows from post-conflict Northern Uganda, Wong tells the odd, true story of how she became a hip hop star in Northern Uganda. Recently featured in The New York Times’ “Off Color” series, Wong’s five solo shows and one ensemble play have toured throughout the United States and UK; she’s been a commentator for American Public Media’s Marketplace, PBS, Playgirl Magazine, Huffington Post and others; and she has been a guest on FXX’s Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell. Wong is directed and dramaturged by Emily Mendelsohn, a Brooklyn-based theater director who heads a cultural exchange lab with artists from Uganda, Rwanda and the US.

Saturday, august 22


With music by Byron Au Yong combining western classical music, Chinese folk elements and American musical theater, and a libretto by noted hip-hop poet and playwright Aaron Jafferis, Stuck tells the story of Guang, a Chinese food deliveryman in New York who struggles for freedom from debt, human smugglers, loud-mouthed coworkers, and the temptations of General Tso’s Chicken. Prompted by the real-life experience of an undocumented immigrant who survived 81 hours in a Bronx elevator, this “comic-rap-scrap-metal-opera” is being newly staging by New York-based director Ed Iskandar, winner of 2014 Drama Desk Special Award for “visionary directorial excellence [and] bold and strikingly original imagination” (The Mysteries, The Golden Dragon), leading a company including five actors and three musicians.
