Students planning to give solo recitals should be aware of the following: 1) A student wishing to present a solo recital must be registered in the appropriate section of Music 220 or 420 not only in the recital semester, but also in the preceding semester of residence at Grinnell; 2) The student is to turn in a Solo Recital Proposal Form no later than the end of the seventh week of the semester of residence preceding the recital semester. The content of this form will include a tentative program of works the performance of which the student and her/his studio instructor have determined to be realistically attainable. This form must include the instructor's signature of approval.
Completed proposal forms for recitals to be given during the second semester of the current academic year are due in the Fine Arts Office by Wednesday, October 16, 5 p.m. These and other required forms, plus a statement of solo recital policy, requirements, and deadlines are available from Berneil Mueller in that office.
Hey all your Grinnell women!!! Are you interested in exploring your spirituality. Or are you interested in discussing life with other women. Web is a safe space in which women can meet and explore these issues together. Treat yourself to some quiet reflective time in the midst of your busy week. Web's first meeting will be this Thursday the 26th at 7:00 p.m. in the Stonewall Resource Center (in the same building as the YMCA and Health Center). All women are encouraged to come, both women affiliated with a religious denomination and those who are unaffiliated. The theme for the meeting will be "kindeling" so please try and bring something (a reading, a picture, a thought) about this topic. If you are interested in Web, but the meeting time is a bad one, please let me know as I will consider changing the time. E-mail [Waxmnan] with questions or comments.
Auditions are being held on Thursday, Sept. 28, 8 p.m., and Friday, Sept. 29, 4:30 p.m., in the Fine Arts Acting studio (in the Fine Arts basement) for a second womyn's voices performance, which was a series of indi vidual performance pieces. Bring to auditions a feminist piece (of music, poetry, dance, performance art, theatre, etc.) similar to that which you hope to perform (no longer than 15 minutes). Questions? E-mail [Fowles] or [Jager].
