Kennesaw State’s College of the Arts announced Aug. 29 its 2019-20 season complete with displays of talent and cultural immersion through a series of artistic performances.
This year’s theme, “Be Transformed,” celebrates student growth through education in the liberal arts and features more than 100 events in art, design, dance, music and theatre and performance studies.
According to their website, ArtsKSU will also be adding research presentations centered around the theme “The Arts Meet Science and Technology.” All presentations are free and open to the public.
“We are thrilled to add research presentations as part of the 2019-2020 ArtsKSU season.” Dean of the College of the Arts Ivan Pulinkala said. “Last year, we formed the Research Advisory Council … to promote faculty and student published scholarship in the arts. This year’s lecture series has been curated by the faculty who are on our Research Advisory Council.”
These presentations will include “The Aesthetic Brain” by Dr. Anjan Chatterjee, a Research in the Arts Colloquium where faculty will present their research in science and technology and how it relates to the arts.
There will also be six Undergraduate Research Forums where students will have a chance to share their own findings.
“ArtsKSU 2019-20 features a mix of exciting student, faculty, guest artists and professional performances,” Pulinkala said.
This season’s highlights include the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Grammy-nominated clarinetist-saxophonist Anat Cohen, and cellist Zuill Bailey performing with the KSU Symphony Orchestra and the KSU Wind Ensemble, according to ArtsKSU’s events page.
Art and Design will display “Painting Who?” and “Fruitful Labors” in the Zuckerman Museum while the KSU Dance Company presents Charlotte Ballet’s “Walking Mad” and “SLANG.”
Theatre and Performance Studies will present “Bring It On: The Musical” and Marissa Chibas’ “Daughter of a Cuban Revolutionary.”
