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.

The Multicultural Center presents two awesome events this Fri., Oct. 16.
First join us for a viewing of the documentary “The Godmother of Rock and Roll” about music pioneer Rosetta Tharpe. The film will show in the PUB room 9102 at 10:30 a.m.
Rosetta Tharpe (March 20, 1915 – October 9, 1973) was a singer, songwriter, and guitarist whose mixture of spiritual lyrics with rock music made her gospel’s first crossover artist. Often referred to as “the original soul sister”, Rosetta Tharpe’s singing and showmanship has been cited as a major influence on legendary musicians such as Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin, and Little Richard, among others.
Second, swing by for a frank talk on racism titled “Everyone’s a little bit Racist.” The discussion will happen in the PUB room 9102 from 1:30-2:30 p.m.
The discussion will cover such topic as, When is it okay to tell a racist joke? How about a gay joke? What if they are “based” in truth? Do you think people are too sensitive to these jokes? Join us as we use a song from the upcoming Shoreline Community College production of Avenue Q to springboard a conversation on the issues of: Bias, Microaggressions, Stereotypes, “-ism”s…and why they are NOT okay.

Global Affairs Center programs begin this week at Shoreline Community College with “Cuba – A Country in Flux” this Wed., Oct. 14, from 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. in the PUB Quiet Dining Room (9208).
Tim Payne, who teaches Economics at Shoreline, and Tod O’Driscoll, a freelance photographer who lives in Edmonds, have both traveled to Cuba in recent years, and will share their observations and images of this small but complex country. For more information about the speakers, visit our biographies page.
Cuba, a Caribbean Island nation of 11 million, is experiencing internal and external changes, most noticeably the thaw in relations with the United States. Given that the U.S. embargo on trade with and travel to Cuba has been in place since 1961, it is not surprising that most Americans know little about this place.
What is daily life like for most Cubans? How do they make a living? What are their hopes and dreams? What are the current political and economic realities of life like for Cubans? What about religious freedom? Cuba is a land of contrasts and contradictions, and no matter how many times you have visited, it is a country that is hard to totally wrap your head around and gain a full understanding of its people, culture and traditions.

Princess Angeline, film – 11:30 a.m., PUB Quiet Dining Room (9208)
Co-sponsored by Project Pride – This film from independent indigenous filmmaker Sandra Johnson Osawa (Makah) and her partner Yasu Osawa uses the story of Chief Seattle’s oldest daughter—Princess Angeline or Kikisebloo—to explore the history of the Duwamish people and their so-far fruitless quest for federal recognition.

The Multicultural Center will sponsor workshops, presentations and trainings every Friday in room 9102. For our first Friday of activities, please come and join us Fri. Oct. 9 for a viewing and discussion of two films:
STRUGGLE IN THE FIELDS – PUB 9102 at 10:30 a.m.
September 15-October 15 is Latino Heritage Month!
“The Struggle in the Fields,” examines the importance of Cesar Chavez and his efforts to organize farm workers in the central valley of California. It delineates the various components of Chávez’s strategy for farm worker self determination—strikes, boycotts, pilgrimages, fasts—and emphasizes his commitment to nonviolence and the importance of faith and prayer in achieving his goal. 58 minutes.
THE DELANO MANONGS – PUB 9102 at 11:45 a.m.
October is Filipino American History Month!
“The Delano Manongs” tells the story of farm labor organizer Larry Itliong and a group of Filipino farm workers who instigated one of the American farm labor movement’s finest hours – The Delano Grape Strike of 1965 that brought about the creation of the United Farm Workers Union (UFW). While the movement is known for Cesar Chavez’s leadership and considered a Chicano movement, Filipinos played a pivotal role. Filipino labor organizer, Larry Itliong, a cigar-chomping union veteran, organized a group of 1500 Filipinos to strike against the grape growers of Delano, California, beginning a collaboration between Filipinos, Chicanos and other ethnic workers that would go on for years. 30 minutes.
