Get your tickets for Shoreline’s Theater Department’s presentation of Avenue Q – opening this Fri., Oct. 23 and running through Nov. 1. This laugh-out-loud show is “an autobiographical and biographical coming-of-age parable, addressing and satirizing the issues and anxieties associated with entering adulthood” – as told by puppets!
One of the longest-running Broadway shows, Avenue Q is the winner of the TONY® “TRIPLE CROWN” for BEST MUSICAL, BEST SCORE and BEST BOOK. Avenue Q is part flesh, part felt and packed with heart. Thismusical tells the timeless story of a recent college grad named PRINCETON who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. There, he meets KATE (the girl next door), ROD (the Republican), TREKKIE (the internet sexpert), LUCY THE SLUT (need we say more?), and other colorful types who help PRINCETON finally discover his purpose in life!
Filled with gut-busting humor and a delightfully catchy score, not to mention puppets, Avenue Q is a truly unique show that has quickly become a favorite for audiences everywhere. Although the show addresses humorous adult issues, it is similar to a beloved children’s show; a place where puppets are friends, Monsters are good and life lessons are learned. That said, it’s not recommended for minors under the age of 15.
Join the music department this Fri., Oct. 23 for a Master Class in Performance with guest speaker Robert Caldwell from 12:30-3 p.m.in the Music Building, room 818. Free and open to the entire campus community and public.
Caldwell will talk about what it takes to be a performer.
Stage presence, charisma, excitement, connection — A lit-up stage—we all know it when we
experience it in live performances. But how do we get there? How do we move beyond our technical and interpretive skills and captivate an audience? Do magical performances happen to only “born performers”?
What if “born performers” have simply happened to put together their internal worlds in a way that anyone can learn? In other words, what if such intangibles as stage presence were a matter of skill? Come explore the question of what it means to be an artist on stage, of how to integrate technical and interpretive skills into a higher level of performance.
Come to learn platform skills, skills to find your way to brilliance on stage, and even those internal skills common to performers rarely discussed. Come to heighten your passion for your art.
Mr. Caldwell, will work with four Shoreline Community College students. Please join us in this wonderful opportunity offered through the Shoreline Community College Music department.
Robert Caldwell
Robert is a writer, composer, musician, artist, designer, programmer, filmmaker, animator, teacher, public speaker, businessman, performance coach, and consultant. Over a twenty-year period, he wrote, directed, and produced 14 films and wrote many books, all still in circulation, for musicians, speech and hearing scientists and neuroscientists.
His story begins at the age of 17. His travels, education and experiences led him to wonder why some people light up an audience while others don’t, given that they might play the same music at high levels of competence. He wanted to understand the underlying fundamentals of lighting up a heart and mind, and why such a thing as performances exist at all in our species. Following this quest, which led him through all facets of human expression—music, literature, art, architecture, design, computer programming, for instance—combined with his keen interest in both art and science, especially, neuroscience, he wrote his first book on performance at age twenty-seven. He has continued to actively develop these ideas into a pragmatic philosophy and collection of techniques, coaching performers of all levels, from beginners to international stars.
His works include: Diction for Singers; The Performer Prepares; The Singer’s Voice: Breath, Vocal Folds, Vocal Tract, Resonance, and The Human Voice animation/visualization film series; Singers’ Edition, Guide to Operatic Roles and Arias Light Lyric Soprano and Soubrette, and Guide to Operatic Duets; The five volumes of Excellence in Singing: Beginning the Process, Mastering the Fundamentals, Advancing the Technique, Becoming an Artist, and Managing Vocal Health; Human Speech Science: Acoustics, Articulation, and The Source-Filter Theory, and Through a Portal to the Mind.

Shoreline Community College Art Gallery presents… DUWAMISH REVEALED
Please join us this Thurs., Oct. 8 from 5-7 p.m. for the opening reception ofDuwamish Revealed. Check out the stunning exhibit and enjoy a guest performance at 6 p.m.
The exhibit will be showing in the Art Gallery in the lobby of the Administration building (1000 bldg.) Oct. 5-30. The Duwamish Revealed exhibit is the culminating event of the community project that took place in south Seattle from May to September, 2015. It involved a series of outdoor art installations, performances, community activities and other adventures to celebrate Seattle’s only river. In the hopes of reaching out to all of the different language and cultural groups along the river, the project directors, Nicole Kistler and Sarah Kavage, worked with the multi-lingual outreach team at the Environmental Coalition of South Seattle. The Shoreline Community College Art Gallery is honored to share in this celebration by bringing art installations, cultural artifacts, photo documentation and performance from the project to our campus.
Please join us at the opening reception to celebrate the efforts of our local artists, writers, performers, cultural groups, and campus faculty in this exciting celebration of the Duwamish River!
