Free Tickets by 4:30 p.m. Fri. — Puppetry Theater Fri. & Sat.
Hi First-Years,
We’d like to introduce you to the Outside the Box Theater Series at the Center for the Arts. This weekend’s production, Dan Hurlin’s Disfarmer blends innovative puppetry, projections, choreography and an original score to have you enter into the world of photographer, Mike Disfarmer (his work is on display at the Zilkha Gallery). It is truly groundbreaking in the media and disciplines it combines, and I want to invite you to come as my guest (tickets subject to availability).
Best, Pamela Tatge, Director, CFA
The Center for the Arts and Theater Department Present
Disfarmer
(Every Day Uses for Sight No. 6: Disfarmer)Moving, poignant and occasionally hilarious, “Disfarmer” is a wonder. –VarietyConceived and directed by Dan Hurlin
Original music by Dan Moses Schreier

A Limited Number of Free Tickets are Available to First Year Students!
When: Friday & Saturday, October 16 & 17, 8pm Where: CFA Theater
What: Disfarmer, which premiered in January 2009 at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn, is a puppet theater work inspired by the life of American portrait photographer Mike Disfarmer (1884-1959). Disfarmer operated a photography studio in Heber Springs, Arkansas, where for years locals and tourists lined up to have their pictures made. Disfarmer left his subjects to decide for themselves how to act in front of his lens. When they were discovered in the 1970s, Disfarmer’s photographs were acknowledged as a stunning achievement for their exquisite artistry, their profound empathy for their subjects and their invaluable documentation of a way of life that has all but vanished from the United States.
The production features the American style of “tabletop” puppetry; projections of Disfarmer’s photographs and images produced by old optical techniques; and a sound score with haunting music from antique recording technologies, re-contextualized and mixed with modern sampling techniques.

Take Back the Night — Thursday
Take Back the Night
Please come to the steps of Olin this Thursday, October 15 at 7 p.m. for the annual Take Back the Night march.
Show your support for survivors of sexual assault and abuse. Listen to their stories. Everyone’s presence is important.
Take a stand and break the silence because everyone deserves to be safe.
We will begin at Olin and march around campus. We will form speak-out circles in which survivors can share their stories (talk, read poems, sing, cry, yell, or request a moment of silence) in a supportive environment. There will be a candlelight vigil to end the march followed by debriefing sessions in Usdan led by counselors from the Women and Families Center.
Celebrating Students ’13: Alex Speiser
Even though I’m a city boy, I have always loved the outdoors. I’m a sucker for the beauty of New York City- the raccoons of Central Park, the Cloisters, and the occasional clean, white pigeon- but have been fortunate enough over the last few years to leave the lower forty-eight and see some other countries. I spent a good chunk of this summer 
working in the southern area of Costa Rica, the Golf of Dulce region, at a Wildlife Sanctuary, looking after orphaned, injured, and displaced animals. I built cages, led tours, and learned what goes into rehabilitating and subsequently releasing animals affected by the illegal wildlife trade. The preservation of Nature and curbing the effects of Global Warming have always been passions of mine and were further enhanced by this experience.
