COVER ART:The cover illustration, titled “Verve,” is by Lucas Gonzalez, a senior Visual Communications student at the University of Arizona with emphases in both Graphic Design and Illustration. The artwork was created to capture the essence of live performance. The lights, bright colors and gestural figures convey the excitement and energy seen on stage. The piece is abstracted so that figures and shapes

are not specific to one category; rather, they can be seen in the context of dance, music and theatre equally well. Special thanks to the UA School of Art, Professor Jackson Boelts and the students of Art 496B.

Often, when people think of the University of Arizona, their first thought is about our great achievements in science. Indeed, the National Science Foundation ranks us #1 in America in the physical sciences. But this University is equally committed to (and passionate about) the role of the arts in the life of our campus.

Nothing better symbolizes that than UApresents. UApresents provides a unique opportunity to expose our students to the finest performers in the world, while also opening the door of our campus to the broader community.

And the reach of UApresents doesn’t stop at the stage door. Our UApresents Education Program extends the campus and stage across Southern Arizona, bringing the excitement of this programming to more than 15,000 children and community members annually through in-school programs, Master Classes and ticket sharing.

This season you will have the opportunity to experience the thrill of great artists performing in an exceptional venue. We deeply appreciate all of the generous supporters who have helped to make this season possible. To all who have so generously given to help bring this wonderful programming to life, our sincere thanks.

Robert N. Shelton, President, The University of Arizona

Welcome to UApresents’ 2011-2012 Season! This season we are presenting a World of Artists including dance, classical, jazz and world music, exciting center stage programming, four very special evenings with some of your favorite entertainers as well as great family programming.

We depend on your donations to bring this World of Artists to the Tucson community. The support of individual and corporate sponsors, grants and donations are needed more than ever. Please consider a gift in any amount to help us continue to host the artists and performances that will captivate your imagination, inspire you and enrich your life.

The circus is coming to town! Zoppé Family Circus welcomes guests into an intimate 600-seat tent for a one-ring circus that honors the best of the Old-World Italian tradition. Starring Nino the clown and propelled by a central story that features acrobatic feats, equestrian showmanship, canine capers, clowning around and plenty of audience participation.

“The Zoppé circus evokes something from a picture book: the clown, the trapeze, the dancing dogs, the ring and the tent. The show is frozen in time… exactly the way it’s supposed to be.” –The New York Times

We are CommiTTeD To eDuCaTion, ouTreaCH – anD THe fuTure of THe arTs in our CommuniTY UApresents bridges the gap created by deep and continuing cuts to state funding for free and low-cost arts education programs in our schools. Last year nearly 15,000 youth, families and underserved members of our community discovered and experienced the live performing arts through UApresents’ education and outreach programs that include:

· In the Schools K-12 schools and students count on UApresents’ In the Schools program to ensure arts education is kept alive. Professional artists perform in local schools, facilitating access to and participation in important educational, cultural and artistic experiences.

·· Ticket Sharing UApresents helps make it possible for underserved populations to attend our events by donating tickets to local social service organizations and K-12 schools.

·· Student CriticsHigh School and college students develop critical thinking and writing skills by attending and reviewing UApresents performances while working closely with UA mentors.

·· Master Classes & Artist LecturesHigh School and UA college students receive professional-level training and arts education through master classes and artist lectures taught by UApresents artists.

·· Arts Encounters, Post-Show Discussions and Patio PerformancesSelected events feature Arts Encounters with UA faculty and post-show discussions with UApresents artists, providing outstanding educational opportunities for audience members. Also, at selected events, pre-show performances by students and local artists liven up the Centennial Hall patio.
