Saugatuck Center For The Arts Presents "Gasland"
Date: Thursday, April 21, 2011
Start Time: 7:00 pm
(Time Zone: US/Eastern)
Location: Saugatuck Center For The Arts
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Here are the details: Real To Reel Film Series
$5 – SCA + HAAC members, students / $7 non-members
The largest domestic natural gas drilling boom in history has swept across the United States. The Halliburton-developed drilling technology of "fracking" or hydraulic fracturing has unlocked a "Saudia Arabia of natural gas" just beneath us. But is fracking safe?
When filmmaker Josh Fox is asked to lease his land for drilling, he embarks on a cross-country odyssey uncovering a trail of secrets, lies and contamination. A recently drilled nearby Pennsylvania town reports that residents are able to light their drinking water on fire.
See why the Washington Post says, "On the want-to-see- scale, GASLAND tops the list." And why Variety calls Gasland, ""...one of the most effective and expressive environmental films of recent years." Part verite travelogue, part expose, part mystery, part bluegrass banjo meltdown, part showdown.

Saugatuck Center For The Arts Presents Sanjukta Banerjee
Date: Saturday, April 9, 2011
Start Time: 7:30 pm
(Time Zone: US/Eastern)
Location: Saugatuck Center For The Arts
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Here are the details:
$15 – Adults
$10 – Students
Experience the rich traditions of Indian "classical" dance and the energy of "American fusion" during this performance featuring three trained dancers.
Sanjukta Banerjee performs two of India's most important dance forms: the Bharata Natyam and the Mohiniyattam. Both are ancient dance forms deeply infused with spiritual meaning.
Bharata Natyam, often called the national dance of India, is considered to be a 'fire dance' — the mystic manifestation of the metaphysical element of fire in the human body. Mohiniyattam is a traditional South Indian dance from Kerala. It is one of the eight Indian classical dance forms and literally means "dance of the enchantress".
Nai’mah and Jessica Tomaz also take the stage, demonstrating a high energy blend of American and Indian dance techniques that translate into sheer artistry.
Sanjukta Banerjee has undergone rigorous training of both the Bharatanatyam and Mohiniattam under Guru Smt.Thankamani Kutty, a reputed disciple of Guru Chinnammu Amma of Kerala Kalamandalam. Sanjukta has also been under the tutelage of the great Kathakali maestro Late Guru P. Govindan Kutty, for special attention on Hastas and Abhinaya. She has also attended extensive workshops and lecture demonstrations under Bharati Shivaji, Chitra Vishwesharan & Dr. Kanak Rele.

Saugatuck Center For The Arts Presents "Requiem For Detroit"
Date: Thursday, March 17, 2011
Start Time: 7:00 pm
Location: Saugatuck Center For The Arts
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Here are the details:
$5 – SCA + HAAC members, students / $7 non-members
Filled with images of Detroit's heyday projected against now-crumbling buildings, Julien Temple's new BBC documentary "Requiem for Detroit?" tracks the Motor City's past, present and future. Temple characterizes its decline as "a slow-motion Katrina that has had many more victims."
Built by the car for the car, with its groundbreaking suburbs, freeways and shopping centers, Detroit was the embodiment of the American dream. But its intense race riots brought the army into the city and with violent union struggles against the fierce resistance of Henry Ford and the Big Three, Detroit was also the scene of American nightmares.
Temple now sees Detroit as a truly dystopic post-industrial city, in which 40 percent of the land in the City center is returning to prairie. Greenery grows up through abandoned office blocks, houses and collapsing car plants, and swallows up street lights.
There is no more rush hour on what were the first freeways in America. Crime, vandalism, arson and dog fighting are the main activities in once the largest building in North America. But it's also a source of hope.
Streets are being turned to art. Farming is coming back to the centre of the city. Young people are flocking to help. The burgeoning urban agricultural movement is the fastest growing movement in the US. Detroit may lead the way again but in a very different direction.
This is part of SC4A's Real To Reel film series.

Saugatuck Center For The Arts Presents Red Baraat
Date: Saturday, March 26, 2011
Start Time: 8:00 pm
Location: Saugatuck Center For The Arts
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Here are the details:
$35
Experience what the Wall Street Journal says is, “a Big Band for the world!” Led by Sunny Jain, Red Baraat is the first and only dhol ‘n’ brass band in North America, melding the infectious North Indian rhythm Bhangra with brass funk.
Comprised of dhol (double-sided, barrel-shaped North Indian drum slung over one shoulder), drumset, percussion, sousaphone, and 5 horns, this NYC-based group plays fresh originals and Bollywood favorites with an explosive stage performance and presence.
In the short time since their inception in 2008, the group has delivered blistering performances at the Montreal Jazz Festival, Chicago World Music Festival, Lincoln Center, Madison World Music Festival, 4th Annual Droma Gypsy Festival, Pori Jazz Festival (Finland), Molde Jazz Festival (Norway), the Chicago Folks & Roots Festival, and more.
Red Baraat has been featured in National Geographic, Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, Relix and Songlines, and others. The group's debut CD, Chaal Baby (Sinj Records), was released in 2010 and was on the list of multiple music critics as a top world music and jazz CD of 2010. Their follow up CD is in the works for a late 2011 release.
Come see why Music Connection Magazine says “Red Baraat is a raucous, blaring, clashing celebration of a multitude of cultures come together as one joyous explosion!” and Peter Margasak of the Chicago Reader trumpets, “The band artfully hybridizes Indian bhangra and something akin to New Orleans second-line funk. Plus it's fun as hell!”
