Moscow Festival Ballet
Wednesday, April 25, 2012 @7:30pm
With lavish costumes, a magical set, and breathtaking folkloric backgrounds, the Moscow Festival Ballet’s Cinderella is an enchanting experience that proves dreams do come true.True to the age-old fairy tale, Cinderella is the endearing story of a young girl who lives with a very bossy, unlikable Stepmother and two very vain Stepsisters. In the end, the tender hearted Cinderella finds good fortune, love and happiness through her acts of kindness. This jubilant production is the work of one of Russia’s most esteemed ballet companies– The Moscow Festival Ballet. Sergei Radchenko, legendary principal dancer of the Bolshoi Ballet, founded the company in 1989 to create an ensemble that would bring together the highest classical elements of the great Bolshoi and Kirov Ballet companies. Under his direction, leading dancers from across Russia now stage exciting new productions of timeless classics.

Connecting to Collections: The MS Digital Library workshop is offered to anyone who works with cultural collections in public libraries, universities, museums or any other institutions with collections. This workshop will give you the opportunity to learn more about how the MS Digital Library is connecting our collections to other repositories and researchers not only within our own state but across the national and around the world. Have you ever thought "There just isn’t enough time in my schedule to scan and upload information to my web page?" Or have you ever wondered how other libraries or archives develop and maintain their online resources? If you have ever grappled with questions like this, this workshop will provide not only the answers but hands-on learning to scan, create your own metadata and learn how the MS Digital Library can help you and your institution put your collections online! The MS Digital Library brings Mississippi to researchers around the world. The program provides online access to unique materials held in repositories through the state. Letters, diaries, photographs, state & organizational records, oral histories, and other primary sources provide first-hand documentation of history and a sampling of the resources available here. With funding awarded in December 2003 by the Institute of Museum & Library Services (IMLS), the MDL began as a partnership between these institutions: Delta State University, Jackson State University, The MS Department of Archives & History, Tougaloo College, The University of Mississippi, The University of Southern Mississippi. The ultimate aim of the MDL is to provide access to primary source materials from museums, archives, libraries and other institutions throughout the state, covering a wide range of subject areas.

What a Box Can Do: Celebrating 50 Years of The Box Project
2012-08-10 08:00 - 2012-09-30 17:00 | Capps Archives & Museum Building, 2nd Floor
The seeds of The Box Project were sown at the Geneva Disarmament Conference in 1962 when Virginia Naeve of Jamaica, Vermont, met and talked with Clarie Collins Harvey from Jackson, Mississippi, and Coretta Scott King from Atlanta, Georgia. They talked about war and segregation as part of man’s inhumanity to man. Back home in Vermont, Mrs. Naeve began to think about what she could do to lessen this inhumanity. Letters to Clarie Harvey and Coretta King brought the names of needy black families in Mississippi and Georgia to whom Mrs. Naeve began to send letters, clothing, household items, and food. From a gift subscription to a black newspaper in Jackson, Mississippi, Mrs. Naeve learned more about problems there. This resulted in her sending books for a new Freedom Library in meridian, Mississippi. To involve others who felt strongly about injustices in the south, Mrs. Naeve held a Civil Rights fair at her home. Clothing or food served as admission and she reaped 250 boxes worth! In order to get the clothing to where it was needed, she wrapped and stacked boxes near her front door. Everyone who visited was asked to mail a box. By the time the last box was sent, people had begun to realize they out to pack and mail their own boxes and were asking for names of families. This exhibit remembers the first families and all the families since that have been involved with The Box Project.

U.S. Poet Laureate Natasha Trethewey Reading
2012-09-18 19:00 - 21:00 | Delta Music Institute, Studio A
New United States Poet Laureate and Mississippi Poet Laureate Natasha Trethewey will give her first Mississippi reading as the nation’s 19th Poet Laureate at Delta State University on Tuesday, September 18th at 7 p.m.

The reading will serve as the Mississippi launch for her new book of poetry “Thrall.” “Thrall” is her poetic follow-up to her Pulitzer Prize winning book “Native Guard.” “Thrall” explores many themes of Trethewey’s earlier works. This time, however, she moves beyond the Deep South to meditate on the complicated legacy of colonialism in the Americas; the interaction between memory, historical amnesia, and erasure; and the complex relationship she has with her father.

Delta State University was the first university to give her an honorary doctorate, awarded by Dr. John Hilpert at the 2007 Fall Commencement. Dr. Trethewey is also the Mississippi Poet Laureate and a 2008 winner of the Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts from the Mississippi Arts Commission.

Assistant Professor of English Don Allan Mitchell has been instrumental in helping his friend obtain all three Mississippi awards. “We are so very fortunate to have a supporter of Delta State University like Natasha Trethewey. She understands that memory has a special resonance in Mississippi and in the Delta, and I have made it a personal mission of mine to make sure she is properly honored in her home state. Mississippi was on the wrong side of history when we made a crime of her interracial birth in 1966; I want to make sure that we are on the right side of history in 2012 by honoring Mississippi’s greatest contribution to American poetry,” stated Mitchell.

Trethewey will officially assume her duties as United States Poet Laureate at the Library of Congress on Thursday, September 13th. She is the first Southerner to hold the post since Robert Penn Warren of Tennessee and Kentucky in 1986, and the first African American since Rita Dove in 1993.

The event is free and will be held in Studio A of the Delta Music Institute, located in the old Whitfield Gymnasium on campus, which has also hosted historic speeches by fellow Pulitzer Prize winners William Faulkner and Dean Acheson. To ensure that all groups are accommodated, notification of attendance is requested by calling 662.846.4626.

The reading is hosted by the Division of Languages and Literature and the Delta State University Diversity Committee. Generous support is also provided by the Delta Music Institute, The Delta State University Foundation, and the Bologna Performing Arts Center.

“I am encouraging some friendly competition between Trethewey’s adopted home town of Atlanta, Georgia, and her home state of Mississippi. She’ll be keynoting the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Decatur Book Festival on August 31rst. She easily will fill the 800-seat venue at Emory University where she will give that speech. Let’s use September 18th as a chance to show America how much Mississippi and Delta State University support both Dr. Trethewey and great American authors. Let’s show our Delta hospitality by welcoming her with open arms on September 18th,” said Assistant Professor of English Georgene Clark, who also chairs Delta State University’s Diversity Committee.

“I reread ‘Native Guard’ at least once a year. Many of the faculty in the Division of Languages and Literature assign it to our students. Every time I read it, I find another intricate brush stroke on its rich canvas. A few years back, she shared with me the thumbnail sketch of what would become ‘Thrall,’ and I knew I was going to have to expand my syllabus,” Mitchell added.

Eden Brent
Much more than the blues flows through Brent’s talented hands. Critics laud her "Bessie Smith meets Diana Krall meets Janis Joplin" attitude, and wax effusively about her "whiskey-smoke" voice. She is frequently compared to jazz/pop dynamos Norah Jones and Sarah Vaughn.

OnStage Success Workshop
2013-02-02 09:00 - 16:30 | Whitfield Building, Studio A
The Delta Music Institute, Delta State University’s music industry studies program, will present OnStage Success, a one day workshop on developing stage performance skills using the Tom Jackson Live Music Method. The workshop will be held on Saturday, February 2, from 9:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. in Studio A of the Delta Music Institute in the Whitfield Building on the campus.
Topics covered in the workshop include: overcoming stage fright, stage movement, selecting the correct songs and the correct order, and turning a group of songs into a captivating live show. Practical information and techniques that will benefit all performers working to develop a loyal audience will be taught. Additionally, one or two local artists/bands will be chosen to work through onstage issues in a hands-on mini-makeover during the workshop.
The OnStage Success Workshop facilitator will be Lang Bliss. Bliss first honed his onstage skills while touring the US and Australia, doing an average of 500 shows per year over a four-year time span, as well as having toured with major artists for over 20 years. As a trained and certified Live Music Producer for Tom Jackson’s Onstage Success, Lang Bliss will pass on knowledge, training, and experience to workshop participants. Bliss has worked as a drummer, producer, programmer, songwriter and arranger in the music industry with Michael W. Smith, Shaun Groves, Michael McDonald, and The Henningsens (recently signed to Sony Records Nashville) to name a few. Based in the Nashville area, Bliss travels internationally to work with artists and speak at music conferences.
Dove Award winner Francesca Battistelli remarked, “Working with Lang Bliss was a great experience. His instincts were spot on, and he shares his knowledge in such a helpful, creative way. I honestly can’t imagine preparing for another tour without him!”James Bryan, guitarist/songwriter for Nelly Furtado and Philosopher Kings, declared, “As a performing musician for over 15 years, I was surprised and blown away by how much I learned in just one session. It offers insight into every aspect of performance.”
The Onstage Success Workshop is valued at $150 but will be offered by the Delta Music Institute at a substantial discount. Admission is free to Delta State students/faculty with a valid ID card. For others, tickets are $40 in advance and $50 at the door.
The Delta Music Institute is an independent center of study under the College of Arts & Sciences at Delta State University, offering a B.S. in Music Industry Studies degree. The focus of the DMI is to provide students with a broad and thorough education in the technological, creative, and business areas of the music and entertainment industry.

Hot on the heels of our first study skills workshop, Academic Support Services will present the second workshop for the Spring 2013 Semester on Monday, February 11, in the Jacob Conference Center (located on the first floor of Ewing). The workshop will feature two members of the new Student Success Center, Executive Director Ms. Christy Riddle and Student Success Advisor Ms. Elise Mallette, who will give a presentation entitled “Is This the One?” The session will address methods of self-assessment and appropriate support services that can help you not only decide on the right academic major, but also evaluate your current major and plan for success at DSU. The presentation will begin at 5:00 p.m. sharp, but we will begin admitting students for early bird door prize registration at 4:30 p.m. No one will be admitted once the presentation begins, so try to be early. We hope to see you there!

Trials of the Earth: An Exhibit
2013-04-07 08:00 - 2013-07-31 17:00 | Capps Archives & Museum
She was mother, wife and comforter as well as "the cook, the seamstress, the housekeeper, the gardener, the hoe hand," and – finally – the author of Mississippi Delta history. In 1933, at 65 years of age, Mary Mann Hamilton was encouraged to reach back almost 50 years into her past to tell her life as one of the first female settlers in the central area of the Mississippi Delta in the late 1800’s. The resulting book, Trials of the Earth is now considered one of the definitive autobiographies in the Southern literary canon. On Sunday, April 7 at 2 p.m., heirs of Mary Mann Hamilton will be on hand at Delta State University’s Archives and Museum to present the original manuscript of Trials of the Earth to be housed at the archives and preserved for academic posterity. In celebration of the Hamilton family’s largesse, a new exhibition based on the book will open in conjunction with the presentation. Artifacts and photographs representing the life and work of early Delta settlers will be on display through July 31. The presentation and exhibit opening is free and open to the public. "We are honored that the Hamilton family has decided to house this priceless piece of history at the Delta State University Archives & Museum," said University Archivist Emily Jones. "In working with the family, I know how much they respect and cherish the history of not just their family but all early settlers of the Mississippi Delta. We are fortunate that they recognize that sharing Mary Hamilton’s manuscript will assist researchers in understanding the settling of the Mississippi Delta and inspire writers." After being out of print for nearly 20 years, Trials of the Earth is now available as a 20th Anniversary Edition and includes a new Introduction by Morgan Freeman as well as the original Foreword by Ellen Douglas and Preface by Helen Dick Davis.
