April 18, 2018 Comedian Arvin Mitchell Andrew Norman dunior Editor On Friday, March 16, comedian Arvin Mitchell performed a stand-up rou- tine in the A. K. Hinds University Center Illu- sions club room. _ Last Minutes Produc- tions, an organization committed to entertain- ing Western Carolinas campis brought Mitchell In as a guest performer. Mitchell has been a comedian for approxi- mately 20 years, and he credits one of his sisters for pushing him into the profession. She just thought I was the funniest per- son, Mitchell said. She wouldn't let it go. Once he found an open mic, fate took its course and brought him to the Bardo celebrates creativity with the 50 Annual Undergraduate Exhibition Emma Kaye Thomas Staff Writer At Western Carolina University, the idea of creativity is continuously spread throughout cam- pus- : every year through stu- dents majoring in sub- jects from engineering to musical theatre. Every spring though, the Fine Arts Museum in Bardo showcases a group of paintings, sculptures, and other artistic pieces in an Undergraduate Exhibi- tion, showing how a stu- - dent can find the deepest meaning and love for art through a simple assign- - ment. In this Exhibition, 18 students from Western Carolina showcased their 22 pieces of work to the world, allowing audi- ences to see inside their journey of becoming an artist, and what defines their art. When walking ~ into this exhibition as the audience, every person can see the onal differences between each piece of art, whether it be through the color scheme of the piece, or a 3D piece or 2D, creativity flows from each piece in its own personal way. When it comes to this year, the Exhibition is looked at in a very dif- _ ferent light because it is being celebrated. Western Carolina is celebrat- ing the 50th year of the Exhibition being held in the Fine Arts Museum. Because of this, there has been more and more publicity sent out about the exhibition itself so that people, not only who go to Western Carolina but also who live in the outside communities, can come and celebrate the creativity flowing from the young people on the Western Carolinas campus. This is very important to Western Carolina because it is the . longest running art tradi- tion on the Cullowhee campus. It also gives un- dergraduate students an opportunity to put their art work out in the public to be more recognized for their talents. Along with this exhibi- tion being open, the Fine Arts Museum put on a ceremony during some of the first few days of the exhibition being open. This ceremony, held on March 22, 2018, highlighted those stu- dents who contributed to the exhibition, and it also highlighted the exhibition in itself for the time that it has continu- ously impacted and been at Western Carolina, giving students so many incredible opportunities. In the exhibition, a lot of interesting, creative and thoughtful pieces are presented. From success he enjoys today. Mitchell lives in Los Angeles and has rubbed elbows with a number of well-known comedians and even appeared on an episode of Kevin Harts One Mic Stand. The performance took place in the UC Illusions club room at approxi- mately 7 p.m. The atmo- sphere was very relaxed and intimate, with fewer than 50 people in atten- dance. However, small audiences are the type Mitchell thrives on. One of the most notable aspects of his routine is how quickly he connects with his audience. A good portion of his routine was simply an exchan; of dialogue between him and members of the audi- ence. He wasnt afraid to interact with his audience photography, to sculpt- ing, to paintings, the exhibition showcases that were created from the hearts of students from many different back- grounds. For example, when it came to the photography aspect of the exhibition, there were many person- al stories connected to the photos. In one of the pieces titled Connec- tion, there are around six to eight pictures of couples in Italy, simply being loved by one an- other, couples constantly being right next to one another and only focus- ing on each other. Alison Kabrich, the photographer explains; I believe that love should be celebrated, not looked at with disdain, so with these photos, I hope that the viewers can seea - pure form of love and feel happiness from it. In another piece of work, the aspect of sculpting is shown through a more humorous side of art. The piece titled Animals 2 Within showcases a giraffe and an alligator back to back, the giraffe bending its neck down and hiding its face while the alligator has its legs and arms up with a wide smile. Christen Ray, the artist states; Its easy to get caught up in the serious- ness of todays world, but with my artwork I offer an escape. My goal asan artist is to create pieces that evoke playfulness and whimsy, whether it be in appearance of over- all idea. From love, to humor, to sadness, this exhibi- tion gives all visitors an escape to a world where everything a person sees is recognized as art. Whether it be a chair in a : dimly lit room or couples | kissing on a sidewalk in Italy, the exhibition gives _ visitors a chance to see inside the mind of an artist. It allows them to understand how artists think when it comes to their creativity and their work, but also to learn how to view the world in a different but thorough perspective. Overall, it is highly recommended to go and view this exhibition, simply because of the viewpoint that visitors will experience. All the different emotions that a visitor can feel from this exhibition is beautifully overwhelming, show- ing the beauty in and be living in the dorm room right next to you. _ For more information, visit weu.edu/bardo-arts- center/ or contact Bardo Fine Arts Museum at 828.227.3591. through artists who could FEATURES and most interestingly, he wasnt afraid to call them out. One attendee sitting in the middle of the house was on her phone during the performance, and was startled when Mitchell asked, Can you please get off your phone? Im working. Mitchells brutal hon- esty was another notable * aspect of his performance. Not once did he pull a punch, whether he was talking to the audience, about his family, or about himself. His ability to cover potentially contro- versial topics in a humor- ous way without crossin the line of offensiveness is a trait few possess. Even during the uncomfortable moments, he didnt miss a beat, landing the punch- line that left the audience grasping their sides from laughter. he bulk of Mitchells material comes from a combination of personal anecdotes, stories about his family, and seizing a funny moment on stage: and taking it as far as he can. Mitchell admitted that, during his perfor- mance, he wrote a lot of new content while on stage. One of the most memo- . rable anecdotes from his performance was the time he encountered a man in the restroom at the air- rt who didnt wash his ands. Not willing to let the man get away with it, Mitchell said something to him. Later on, Mitchell told the stewardess of the flight that the man didnt wash his hands, and the stewardess proceeded to force the man to clean his Name: Cra yOu hd yids Academic Year: OOD Gig Fe Where are you from?

Although the story itself is ironic enough to be funny on its own, Mitchells delivery and retelling of the story usher many new layers of hilar- ity. While Mitchells stage presence is as command- ing as One would expect for an artist of his skill, his presence off stage is rent way. Speaking to Mitchell is an authentic experi- ence, and the one thing that carries over from his stage presence to.his off-stage presence is how he values connecting with people. Theres nothing like being able to meet new people, said Mitchell. Mitchell said his biggest success is simply the fact that he gets to do what he ~~ se a The Western Carolinian provides humor does comedy full-time. Tts phenomenal, Mitchell said, also citing the feeling of freedom it gives him. When asked how he felt about coming to West- ern Carolina to perform, Mitchell said it was a re- ally great opportunity for him. He cited the environ- ment as one of his favorite aspects about his trip to the mountains and men- tioned that it was a very therapeutic experience. However, his most fa- vorite part about his stay in the area was breakfast at once of his favorite res- taurants: Waffle House. They dont have Waffle House in L.A.! Mitchell said.
