Clybourne ParkBy Bruce NorrisPresented by the Department of Film, Television, and TheatrePhilbin Studio Theatre, DeBartolo Performing Arts Center
A response to Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun, in which a black family confronts mounting resistance while preparing to move into an all-white Chicago neighborhood in 1959, Clybourne Park offers a different perspective—that of the white family selling the house, a modest bungalow that becomes a flashpoint of racial tensions as neighborhood demographics shift.

Kronos QuartetPresented by the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center
Shattering the confines of the familiar and comfortable, pursuing an innovative idea alone, and sometimes in darkness, the explorer leaves behind the world we know in search of new sounds, sights and discoveries. This spirit thrives in both space exploration and the works of the Kronos Quartet, composer Terry Riley, and visual designer Willie Williams, and they merge on stage in the evening-length program Sun Rings.

Souvenirs, Trophies and Loot: Postcards from a Nomadic ArtistBy Mark Dion, Max and Emma Lecture SeriesPresented by the Department of Art, Art History & DesignAnnenberg Auditorium, Snite Museum of Art
Mark Dion has moonlighted as an amateur geologist, ichthyologist, and archaeologist. His recent work, Curator’s Office, 2013, is set among the many period rooms at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, where books, furniture, and personal effects do not reveal their collector’s taste or knowledge, but rather spin a fictive tale about a curator gone missing in the 1950s in a period of American anticommunist paranoia.

ND Arts in the Curriculum began in spring 2013 in an effort to showcase a variety of upcoming arts events that faculty might want to incorporate into their curricula. the hope then—and now—is to encourage faculty to con-sider how the many opportunities we share here might add a new dimen-sion to their syllabi and further enrich the experience of our students.
each listing includes key words intended to draw attention to some
of the possible content connections to each event. these are by no means exhaustive—they are intended only to entice, not limit. Indeed, these art events and activities are likely relevant to courses in ways we could never anticipate.
If you see events that interest you, please be sure to contact the
point people listed by each to inquire about additional enrichment opportunities. Many artists would be delighted to engage personally with our students, and we are eager to facilitate those connections.
this edition of ND Arts in the Curriculum can also be found online
on the college of arts and letters faculty resource webpage— http://al.nd.edu/faculty/ —in both the calendar list and the teaching resources list. We welcome your questions and comments, which may be directed to [email protected].
