UMassD Theatre Company presents "Into the Woods"
- Location: Angus Bailey Auditorium
, UMass Dartmouth, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA 02747
- Cost: $5 UMassD students, $10 general admission
- Contact: > See Description for contact information
- Description: The UMass Dartmouth Theatre Company is presenting “Into the Woods” beginning Thursday for a 4-day engagement in the school’s main auditorium. Show times are 7 p.m. on Nov. 10, 11 and 12, with a 2 p.m. matinee on Nov. 13.
Tickets will be sold at the door and are $5 for UMassD students $10 for general admission. For more information, call 508-999-8167 or email umdtheatreco@gmail.com.
The UMass Dartmouth Theatre Company is a student-run organization with members from every discipline. Its mission is to provide professional theater to the local community.
Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the company wanted to do something spectacular and so chose "Into the Woods" for its fall musical debut.
The performers have been working since the end of September and rehearse amidst course schedules, exams, and other extracurricular activities.
"Into the Woods" follows the life of the Baker as he and his wife are tasked by the Witch to collect an assortment of magical items from classic fairy tales to reverse a curse placed on their family tree. Nathaniel Tarantino will direct the performance with Jack Tiernan playing the leading role of the Baker.
It's a show that captures the childlike wonder we all feel when listening to a fairy tale--with exuberant costumes that offer a contrast to the dark, consuming woods. The characterizations are on the extreme side of the spectrum, with the performers overacting to evoke a fairy-tale world.
Between the beautiful songs and gut-wrenching jokes, prepare for a night of laughter, entertainment, and quality theater.
Officers for the UMassD Theater Company are, president Fatima Fraga-Alvarez, vice president Lyndon Davis, treasurer Meghan Lynch and secretary Cheyanne Patterson.

Experimental Self-Portraiture in Cyanotype / Gallery 244 / Star Store Campus
- Location: Star Store, New Bedford
, Purchase Street, New Bedford
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: Experimental Self-Portraiture in Cyanotype
Reception: AHA! Night, Nov. 10, 5:30 - 6:30 pm
Exhibition Dates: November 6-12, 2016
The students in the Photo Printmaking class are exhibiting the result of a self-portrait assignment using a large format pinhole camera and using 16 X 20 inch film. The resulting pinhole negatives were then printed on paper using a 19th century process called Cyanotype. Students experimented with available light and long exposure times, which is evident in several images where movement can be detected. Also pinhole creates a unique depth of field which is also noticeable in the finished works.

ECE Seminar* Speaker: Dr. Liwei Chen, Zhengzhou University, China
- Location: > See description for location
- Cost: Free
- Contact: EAS Seminar Series
- Description: Topic: Human Disease Detection and Identification by Electronic Nose Technology
Speaker: Dr. Liwei Chen, Associate Professor, Zhengzhou University, China
Location: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (Group II), Room 213A
Abstract:
Exhaled breath contains thousands of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that may be used as non-invasive indicators of many diseases. Detection methods based on VOCs have been proposed to distinguish among different human diseases. My research team has focused on medical applications of exhaled breath analysis by the E-nose technology. In this talk, I will share our research on a novel E-nose system including colorimetric sensor arrays and a matching principal component analysis algorithm.
Biography:
Dr. Liwei Chen is an Associate Professor at Zhengzhou University, China. He received his PhD degree in Control Science and Engineering from the Northwestern Polytechnical University, China in 2013. He is currently a visiting scholar at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, UMass Dartmouth. His current research focuses on E-nose and virtual instrument technology. He is an author or co-author of over 10 technical papers and a book entitled "Odor Detection Practical Technology" (in Chinese). Dr. Chen's research has been funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China.
The Seminars is open to the public free of charge.

Opening Reception for Stateless: Artists Respond to the Refugee Crisis
- Location: University Art Gallery
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: Featuring the work of Gohar Dashti in conjunction with Mehdi Ghadyanloo, Pantea Karimi, and Jodi Stevens
Reception: Thursday, AHA! Night, November 10, 6-8 pm
Exhibition Stateless brings together the work of four artists who reflect on the recent refugee crisis and issues of human displacement and migration.
The Syrian conflict and the subsequent European refugee crisis have dominated not only the news headlines, but also discussions among artists and intellectuals around the world. Due to the significance of these recent events, the College of Visual and Performing Arts has dedicated an exhibition to the topic of migration. Stateless will bring together the works of four artists who reflect on the current refugee crisis in the Middle East. Through a series of astonishing staged photographs in the remote deserts of the Middle East, Tehran-based photographer Gohar Dashti envisions the plight of homelessness for the millions of people who have recently fled such war zones.
Known for his ironic and surreal trompe l'oeil murals in Tehran, through a series of intricate prints artist Mehdi Ghadyanloo displays the difficulties of displacement by portraying crowds of people trapped in uncertain situations. Meanwhile, California-based artist Pantea Karimi showcases a multi-media installation of abstracted medieval maps of major Middle Eastern ports, alluding to a glorious bygone era during which migration of people from and to the Middle East contributed to the advancement of knowledge and commerce. Lastly, through a series of threads interrupted by objects and images, which capture the precarious lives of stateless people, the Southcoast-based Site-specific installation artist Jodi Stevens follows the grim patterns of migration from the Middle East to Europe. In its entirety, the exhibition hopes to inspire the viewer to reflect on the struggles endured in the displacement of migrants.
