Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ Celebrates the Arts is an annual, two week-long festival that highlights the creativity and innovation of students and faculty from the College of Arts and Humanities<\/a>. The event inspires a collective celebration of the arts, with performances and exhibitions spanning the fields of music, theater, the visual arts and more. Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ Celebrates the Arts is held at the Dr. Philips Center for the Performing Arts in Downtown Orlando from April 1-13.<\/p>\n

This year, the festival spotlights the powerful connections between two influential art figures \u2014 the artist Marc Chagall and the composer George Gershwin \u2014 and an iconic musical Fiddler on the Roof.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Connection Between Marc Chagall and Fiddler on the Roof <\/em><\/h3>\n

Chagall, a Russian-Jewish painter known for his dreamlike imagery and use of vibrant colors, drew inspiration from his childhood in a small Jewish village in Eastern Europe. The image of the fiddler repeatedly occurs in his work. Over time, the fiddler began to symbolize Jewish heritage and the preservation of tradition.<\/p>\n

Notably, the image of the fiddler on the roof, demonstrated in a series of Chagall\u2019s paintings, including his 1912 work Le Violoniste<\/em> (The Fiddler), served as inspiration for the title and imagery of the musical Fiddler on the Roof. <\/em>This production tells the story of Tevye, a Jewish father struggling with the changing traditions in the fictional Russian town of Anatevka. The production later became an Oscar-winning film in 1971 and has since become a beloved story by many worldwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cFiddler on the Roof<\/em> demonstrates that culture and family traditions are not fixed in time, but that they evolve, and it\u2019s important to embrace that fluidity,\u201d says Julia Listengarten, professor and artistic director of Theatre Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½.<\/p>\n

Theater Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ chose to showcase Fiddler on the Roof<\/em> at this year\u2019s festival for its global appeal and artistic richness. The production\u2019s themes of family values and tradition explore the challenges that occur when norms change.<\/p>\n

George Gershwin: A Product of Cultural Change<\/h3>\n

George Gershwin, an American composer and pianist, was born in 1898 to Russian-Jewish immigrants in Brooklyn, New York. As part of the \u201cnew immigration\u201d to the United States in the late 19th century, his parents were influenced by the changing political life of Eastern Europe. Growing up in a city that became a hub for Jewish immigrants fleeing political upheaval in his family\u2019s homeland, Gershwin\u2019s upbringing had an impact on both his identity and music. His work incorporates his Jewish heritage and the American experience, relating to the overall theme of adapting to evolving change. Perhaps his most famous piece, Rhapsody in Blue<\/em>, combines both elements of the nascent jazz music he heard as a young man with traditional Jewish melodies.<\/p>\n

The Benefit to Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ Students<\/h3>\n

Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ Celebrates the Arts provides students with hands-on experiences while also immersing them in cultural history.<\/p>\n

Under the guidance of Debi Starr, associate lecturer of Studio Art, over 300 students from the School of Visual Arts and Design<\/a> are bringing Chagall\u2019s imagery to life through 3D sculptures.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a subject matter the students would never have researched on their own,\u201d Starr says. \u201cEach group of students had to write a research proposal to understand the history behind their work. It’s been a great learning experience for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through this process, students have expanded their design skills by learning how to replicate Chagall\u2019s abstract painting style, using tools like laser cutters to develop sculptures that closely mirror his work.<\/p>\n

The benefits go beyond the visual arts department. Students involved in the production of Fiddler on the Roof<\/em> are not just performing an iconic musical; they\u2019re fully immersed in a narrative about Jewish identity, tradition\u00a0and resilience.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve gained my historical perspectives through the shows I\u2019ve helped produce and the research they have led me to,\u201d says Michael Wainstein, director of the School of Performing Arts<\/a>. \u201cBeing part of this production will give students a different perspective on how history shapes people today.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Celebration of Art and History<\/h3>\n

The festival will feature a special talk titled The Life and Work of Marc Chagall<\/em>, presented by art historian and Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ School of Visual Arts and Design Assistant Director Keri Watson and theatre professor Listengarten, to discuss the artist\u2019s impact and legacy. Attendees can look forward to a special lineup, including A Gershwin Celebration<\/em>, a pre-show talk with Ken Hanson, Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ professor of Judaic studies, before the opening performance of Fiddler<\/em> on the Roof <\/em>on April 10, with additional performances through April 13. The festival also features Celebrating Chagall<\/em> 3D sculptures displayed on the grand staircase of the Dr. Philips Center for the Performing Arts and much more.<\/p>\n
