People Are Talking: UMS presents Trisha Brown Dance Company at Power Center:
It is too bad the Trisha Brown performance was under appreciated by some. She was, after all, billed as part of the UMS Renegade series. She has been a renegade for half a century collaborating with avant-garde visual artists, musicians, composers and even choreographing for opera. I commend UMS and its Renegade program for bringing us work that challenges our conventional sensibilities. Keep it up and thanks for bringing renegades to our doorstep.
UMS Night School: Curious About Dance – Session 2 Recap:
Too bad the program notes didn’t mention Trisha Brown’s ground breaking performance with Ann Arbor’s own Once Group in 1965.

People Are Talking: UMS presents Bobby McFerrin at Hill Auditorium:
We’ve seen McFerrin in a more intimate club setting in NY w/ drummer Jack DeJohnette. We were fortunate tonight to be in Row B and had that seem feel of intimacy with this incredible virtuoso performer. I’m sure his vibe could be felt into the far rows of Hill. Most importantly, on this sad week of unexplained tragedy,he took time from his Encore to ask everyone to – not his exact words but – get the SpiritYouAll. He had already given us his.
People Are Talking: UMS presents Random Dance at The Power Center:
An intense wedding of movement, sound and light. What a show. An intense 60 minutes. Congratulations Ken and Co. for bringing us such great programming. Please invite them back. I want to see more and I’m sure others would like to as well.
People Are Talking [and Video Booth]: Einstein on the Beach at Power Center:
Thank you UMS. This isn’t the first and I’m sure it won’t be the last time you’ve brought cutting edge cultural entertainment to A2. You put A2 and UM on the short list of places to be for mind blowing entertainment. Now A2 will be noted for Einstein’s beach. Any ideas for a beach we should rename to honor this event?
