  • BG march 15, 2013 ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT The Western Carolinian Tarzan Megan Hart Staff Writer Tarzan of the Apes, performed on Feb. 26, at 7:30 p.m., was presented in the John W. Bardo Fine and Performing Arts Center at Western Caro- lina University. The show was performed through broadcasts on the radio, in front of a live audience. Through this unfamiliar and unique form of enter- tainment, the audience experienced the classic tale of Tarzan. During Act 1, Introduc- tion to Also Sprach Zora- thustra was performed by an orchestra, with Bruce H. Frazier, the conductor and composer, as well as the director of the actors. The next piece, performed by the orchestra, was Mars: The Bringer of War from The Planets. After the suspenseful music, dancers per- formed, with the orches- tra, a piece called The Young Prince and Prin- cess, a ballet about true love and obstacles that get in the way. After the ballet, anoth- er song called the End Titles from John Carter of Mars was performed by the orchestra. - Act 1ended witha powerful performance by soloist Dan Cherry and other singers. For the first song, Cherry sang Can You Feel the Love To- night and The Circle of Life by Elton John from Disneys The Lion King.

Another praise went towards Don Connelly, the narrator of the show and head of the commu- nications department. T thought it was pretty good, and Don Connelly | I knew was not going to. disappoint, said Miles Olson, senior with a ma- jor in communications. Tarzan of the Apes | began after Act 1 intro- duction, and the show was on air from that moment on. Throughout the broadcast there was a narrator telling the story of Tarzan and actors performing the charac- ters from the novel. Some of the performers had the difficult task of play- ing two different roles at once, but each actor transitioned smoothly from one character to the other. A listener would have a difficult time hearing the differences among the actors, be- cause the actors camou- flage the voices so well to match the characters. Along with the talented actors, voic- ing each line, were sound effects, which were produced onstage with the live orches- tra. The sound effects consisted of jungle noises, shots from a fire arm, a Tarzan yell and animal calls, all of which took the audi- ence into the jungle of Africa. The sound effects created actions like chopping wood or fighting gorillas in the jungle. Each actor had ins radio and live action Photo by Ceillie Simkiss/STAFF Jane gets a tap on the shoulder from one of the apes. to pay special attention to the director for cues, which assisted them to come in on time. The actors also had to work together with the orchestras music. The lighting was another key component in creating the setting for the show. The entire background of the stage was lit with green shaped designs, to resemble the jungles vegetation. According to Coty Ke- ziah, senior with a ma- jor in English a concen- tration in film studies, T thought it was pretty good, very interesting and fun to watch. Jake Myres, a sopho- more with a major in communications, stated, Very well done, liked it a lot. It was very well rehearsed and a good show overall. In the past, the Bardo Fine and Performing Arts Center has also hosted A Christmas Carol and Bram Stokers Dracula. For more information about the Center and future shows, call (828) 227-2479. Laura Odom Staff Writer ' On Wednesday, Feb. 27th, the Mountain Winds Community Band performed their mid-win- ter concert in the Bardo Fine and Performing Arts Center. This community band, with its members of all ages, brought its audience a collection of sounds that enthralled and inspired. With music from composers like Sean OLoughlin, Samuel Hazo and Todd Stalter, the variety of style and composition . was amazing. Marissa Cannes, a sophomore at WCU, stated, I wasnt sure what I expected coming to this concert, but it was awesome! The concert began with a lovely rendition of the Star Spangled Banner and endd with Ignition by Stalter, which is considered a - virtuastic workout for the winds. The arrange- ment of the songs within the concert was showed a balance of the beauti- fully melancholy and the excitingly energetic. Led by Jon Henson and Photo by Chris Ward/STAFF With music from composers like Sean O'Loughlin and Todd Stalter, the Mountain Winds Community Band performed a concert that showed off their many talents. David Starnes, there was never a dull moment in the concert. Starnes and Henson would give com- mentary between each piece, putting it into con- text for the audience. As the directors of the band, they profusely thanked their members as well as the audience. There was one song that held a special spot in the hearts of the directors and the band itself. With Each Sun- set, which was written by Richard L. Saucedo, was written in memo- riam of a man who died as a prisoner overseas in the early 2000s. Sauce- dos song sent chills up the spines of the audience and you could almost see the physical tug of the heart strings as the piece continued. The band played two pieces by Samuel R. Hazo that were vastly different but equally fascinating. Enchanted Spaces, which was a lively and energetic piece that was played with passion, began the concert with a strong start. The next piece by Hazo fell second to last in the line-up. Our Yesterdays Lengthen like Shadows, within itself . went through a range of emotions; it was beautiful, melancholy, whimsical and lively throughout its entirety. An interesting fact that was shared during the concert is that during this song the initial first pitch is sustained or carried throughout the piece, which means the audi- ence could hear the same pitch at various times during the piece by different sections of the band. During this piece, oboe player, Marah Stefanisko, stood out and struck a chord with her solos. The most interesting thing about the Mountain Winds Community Band is that at this perfor- mance they had a middle schooler, high schoolers, college students, profes- sors, choir and band directors performing and showcasing their talent.

The annual Vagina Monologues stands up for women Ceillie Simkiss Staff Writer Western Carolina Universitys Department of Intercultural Affairs hosted a benefit produc- tion of Eve Enslers The Vagina Monologues at 7p.m. on March 1 and 2, in the A.K. Hinds Univer- sity Center Grand Room. Tickets for the event cost $5 if bought them in advance, or $7 at the door. All proceeds went to benefit the Clean Slate Coalition, REACH of Macon County, the WCU Sexual Violence Awareness Fund and the V-Day Foundation: One Billion Rising. The Vagina Mono- logues was originally me bee performed in 1994, and V-Day was established in 1998 in New York City, originally staffed entirely by volunteers. According to their website, V-Days mission is simple. It demands that violence against women and girls must end. To do this, once a year, in February, March and April, Eve allows groups around the world to produce a perfor- mance of the play, as well as other works created by V-Day, and use the pro- ceeds for local individual projects and programs that work to end violence against women and girls, often shelters and rape crisis centers. What began as one event in New York City in 1998, today in- cludes over 5,800 V-Day events annually. The Vagina Mono- logues featured 29 West- ern Carolina University students as performers. Each of the perform- ers had their own rea- sons to join the cast, but Cymone James reason really exemplifies what The Vagina Mono- logues are about. In her bio for the pro- gram, James said, I love what The Vagina Mono- logues stands for, which is to empower women, to prevent and stop violence against women and to lastly bring women closer together... I just knew I had tobe a part of some- thing great like this! The actual perfor- mances varied between skits and monologues that brought a mix of emotions to the audi- ence. Some of the perfor- mances were funny and some brought audience members to tears, but all of them were well performed. Many of the monologues talked about very difficult topics including the treatment of those who are trans- gendered and rape, which can be triggers for people who have experienced such things. At the end of the show, they showed a video titled One Billion Rising. One Billion Rising is a call to men and women to refuse to participate in the status quo until rape and rape culture ends and an act of solidarity, demon- strating to women the commonality of their struggles and their pow- er in numbers. Their organization works to fight and change the UN statistic that one in three women on the planet will be raped or beaten in her lifetime. In the U.S., a rape occurs every two minutes. After the performance, student Taylor Little said, The performance as a whole was liberating to watch, very eye opening to the conflicts women face in the world today. After seeing it, I can view the world through a new lens and be much more under- standing to problems in the world of women. REACH of Macon County serves both Macon and Jackson counties, pro- tecting victims of domes- tic violence, child abuse, sexual abuse and stalking and spreading awareness. Their services include a 24-hour crisis line, rape crisis companions, emer- gency shelters, individual and group counseling, court advocates and legal aid referrals. The Clean Slate Coali- tion is a group ofcom- , munity leaders in West-* ern NC that help women who are facing serious life challenges to find transitional housing in order to start over witha clean slate.
