  • March 26, 2010 WES TERN CAROLIN HAN. Page 12 ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT Ceramicist Don Reitz to speak and demonstrate work April 6 From Staff Reports Internationally acclaimed ceramicist Don Reitz will visit the campus of Western Carolina University on Tues- day, April 6, to demonstrate and discuss his work in clay. Reitz will give informal clay demonstrations from 9 to 11:45 a.m. and | to 3 p.m. _ in the Fine. and Performing Arts Center. He will pres- ent an artists talk and slide show from 4 to 5 p.m,,-also at FAPAC. All events are free and open to the public. The events were resched- uled after an illness forced Reitz to cancel a campus visit planned last September. Don is considered one of the pivotal figures in 20th- century ceramics, said Joan Byrd, WCU ceram- ics professor and Reitzs former student at the Uni- . versity of Wisconsin. Byrd said Reitz, whose health is restored, is known for his lively demonstrations. Hes both a great artist and something of an enter- tainer, she said. He loves to work, and hes happy when hes working. Preston and Sara Hudgins Tolbert, alumni of WCUs School of Art and Design, will assist Reitz. The Tol- berts first met Reitz when they assisted him during a 2007 visit, and they recently returned to North Carolina from a residency at Reitzs Clarkdale, Ariz., studio. Born in 1929, Reitz worked a series of jobs, in- cluding lumberjack and meat Photo Submitted cutter, before devoting him- self to ceramics and paint- ing. He fires his work in im- mense, hand-built, wood- fired kilns, and has achieved new clay surfaces by reviv- ing and developing tradi- _ tional salt-glazing tech- niques. Reitz works in a stu- -dio in Arizona, where of late he creates hand-painted ce- ramic sculptures up to 9 feet tall. My language is the sur- faces | use, not necessarily the forms, because Im basi- cally a painter but am using clay as my medium, Reitz has said. Reitz donated a piece he created during his previous visit to campus to the uni- versitys Fine Art Museum, where it now is part of the | permanent collection. He has exhibited worldwide, and his work is in the permanent col- lections of dozens of institu- tions, including the Smithso- nian Institution in Washing- ton; the American Museum of Ceramic Art in Pomona, Calif.; the High Museum of Art in Atlanta; and the Chi- cago Art Institute. Reitzs visits to Western Carolina University 1s spon- sored by the School of Art and Design and funded by the Randall and Susan Par- rott Ward Endowed Fund for Ceramics. Deaf comedian performs at WCU Pop and j jazz concert on April 20 Jeffery Ray | Contributing Writer Whos there? Orange. Or- ange who? Orange you going to get to read this review about the awesome CJ Jones? Well maybe that wasnt the best of jokes, but the performance of CJ Jones was anything eke a joke. On Tuesday, March 9 CJ Jones graced the UC Grand- room at 8 p.m. for a Comedy Show. This one-man show was a mix of sign language and regular speech into one show. Did I forget to say that he is deat? You wouldnt have noticed from his performance. CJ Jones is one busy man taking on roles such as CEO, producer, director, writer, actor, comedian, musician, and motivational speakerjust to name a couple things. Tt almost makes you wonder how he found time to visit lit- tle old Cullowhee. Mr. Jones, back in May of 2004 per- formed at the award-winning Deaf West Theatre in North Hollywood, California. A solo play What are you ... Deaf? was written and started by Jones himself. He has also appeared on t.v. shows _ Frasier, Lincoln Heights, Sesame Street, Cold Case, and he also did a voice over part in 20th Century Foxs movie Pathfinder. Everyone during the show enjoyed himself or herself while catching on to some of the sign language during his performance. As he was speaking he would also sign the words being said. He not only put on a show, but the audience was able to get in- ' yolved. He picked four au- ' dience members to come on stage and play a little game of telephone. But instead of whis- pering, this game was all pony language. One thing Mr. Jones said about learning sign language is that its all about your body language too. Use your body language, not your hands in your pocket, Jones exclaimed. Some topics in the show ranged from his first day of . school and growing up ina deaf family to a safari trip and trip to Japan. One joke I remember clearly was when he was driving and someone is honking his horn at him repeatedly. The guy gets up beside him and yells at him, What are you DEAF! Mr. Jones, slightly confused about the guy, sped right back up to him and said, What are you? Hearing? Mr. Jones talked aban when he was growing up being able to hear while both of his par- ents were deaf. One year he became very ill and lost his hearing, He told us that instead of his parents being sadden by | From Staff Reports the event they were more than happy to have him alive and well. began to play them.
