 | Opening Reception for Jen Lewin: It's Electric
6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
ART/TEKNE: Part 2*
Please join us for a reception, Friday, May 31st, from 6 - 8 pm, to
celebrate the opening of the exhibition, Jen Lewin: It's Electric.
It’s Electric is a solo exhibition featuring six new playful, interactive light and sound sculptures by new media artist Jen Lewin. These works are intended to inspire experimentation and group collaboration while encouraging participants to become part of the artwork through direct interaction and active collaboration with the work on view.
Lewin has spent the last fifteen years honing her highly technical medium through the fabrication of large-scale interactive sculptures that she has exhibited in public spaces throughout the country. From responsive sound and light forms that incorporate dance, to woven fiber video curtains that reflect movement, to giant robotic moths that flutter in response to human touch, Lewin’s ability to utilize technology as a medium challenges many pre-conceived limits and conceptions of new media works. At once organic and electronic, Jen Lewin’s playful sculptures leave viewers enchanted and surprised while encouraging delight through the viewer’s engagement with the work.
Jen Lewin is an internationally renowned interactive sculptor whose studio is located in Boulder, Colorado. Her technically complex works have been featured at the Gwangju Art Biennale, Tisch School of the Arts, Lincoln Center, Burning Man, WIRED Magazine’s NextFest, and SXSW. In 2010, Lewin collaborated with Claes Oldenburg to internally illuminate The Paint Torch, one of Oldenburg’s large-scale public sculptures in Lenfest Plaza, Philadelphia. Her design and multimedia work has been featured in publications such as National Geographic, Siggraph, Computer Aided Architectural Design Futures, Bon Appétit, WIRED, The New York Times, and Automation in Construction. Lewin served as Creative Director for the Ceren Project and Ivee Project at Sundance Laboratory for Computing in Design and Planning, as well as a lead designer for ITN (Saber) in Palo Alto. Lewin earned her BA in Environmental Design from the University of Colorado Boulder and an MPS in Interactive Telecomunications from New York University.
*The ART/TEKNE series, curated by Lisa Tamiris Becker, is a three-part series planned for the summers of 2012-2014. ART/TEKNE features solo-exhibitions of internationally known Colorado artists whose works chart new relationships between technology, aesthetics, and society.
This exhibition is generously supported in part by the HBB Foundation, the CU Art Museum benefactors and members, as well as by the CU Boulder Student Arts and Cultural Enrichment (ACE) fees.

| | JEN LEWIN: It's Electric
10:00 AM - 7:00 PM
ART/TEKNE: Part 2*
The CU Art Museum at the University of Colorado, Boulder is pleased to present It’s Electric, a solo exhibition featuring six new playful,
interactive light and sound sculptures by new media artist Jen Lewin.
These works are intended to inspire experimentation and group
collaboration while encouraging participants to become part of the
artwork through direct interaction and active collaboration with the
work on view.
Lewin has spent the last fifteen years honing her highly technical
medium through the fabrication of large-scale interactive sculptures
that she has exhibited in public spaces throughout the country. From
responsive sound and light forms that incorporate dance, to woven fiber
video curtains that reflect movement, to giant robotic moths that
flutter in response to human touch, Lewin’s ability to utilize
technology as a medium challenges many pre-conceived limits and
conceptions of new media works. At once organic and electronic, Jen
Lewin’s playful sculptures leave viewers enchanted and surprised while
encouraging delight through the viewer’s engagement with the work.
Jen Lewin is an internationally renowned interactive sculptor whose
studio is located in Boulder, Colorado. Her technically complex works
have been featured at the Gwangju Art Biennale, Tisch School of the
Arts, Lincoln Center, Burning Man, WIRED Magazine’s NextFest, and SXSW. In 2010, Lewin collaborated with Claes Oldenburg to internally illuminate The Paint Torch,
one of Oldenburg’s large-scale public sculptures in Lenfest Plaza,
Philadelphia. Her design and multimedia work has been featured in
publications such as National Geographic, Siggraph, Computer Aided
Architectural Design Futures, Bon Appétit, WIRED, The New York Times,
and Automation in Construction. Lewin served as Creative Director
for the Ceren Project and Ivee Project at Sundance Laboratory for
Computing in Design and Planning, as well as a lead designer for ITN
(Saber) in Palo Alto. Lewin earned her BA in Environmental Design from the University of Colorado Boulder and an MPS in Interactive Telecomunications from New York University.
*The ART/TEKNE series, curated by Lisa Tamiris Becker, is a three-part
series planned for the summers of 2012-2014. ART/TEKNE features
solo-exhibitions of internationally known Colorado artists whose works
chart new relationships between technology, aesthetics, and society.
This exhibition is generously supported in part by the HBB Foundation,
the CU Art Museum benefactors and members, as well as by the CU Boulder
Student Arts and Cultural Enrichment (ACE) fees.

| | JEN LEWIN: It's Electric
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
ART/TEKNE: Part 2*
The CU Art Museum at the University of Colorado, Boulder is pleased to present It’s Electric, a solo exhibition featuring six new playful,
interactive light and sound sculptures by new media artist Jen Lewin.
These works are intended to inspire experimentation and group
collaboration while encouraging participants to become part of the
artwork through direct interaction and active collaboration with the
work on view.
Lewin has spent the last fifteen years honing her highly technical
medium through the fabrication of large-scale interactive sculptures
that she has exhibited in public spaces throughout the country. From
responsive sound and light forms that incorporate dance, to woven fiber
video curtains that reflect movement, to giant robotic moths that
flutter in response to human touch, Lewin’s ability to utilize
technology as a medium challenges many pre-conceived limits and
conceptions of new media works. At once organic and electronic, Jen
Lewin’s playful sculptures leave viewers enchanted and surprised while
encouraging delight through the viewer’s engagement with the work.
Jen Lewin is an internationally renowned interactive sculptor whose
studio is located in Boulder, Colorado. Her technically complex works
have been featured at the Gwangju Art Biennale, Tisch School of the
Arts, Lincoln Center, Burning Man, WIRED Magazine’s NextFest, and SXSW. In 2010, Lewin collaborated with Claes Oldenburg to internally illuminate The Paint Torch,
one of Oldenburg’s large-scale public sculptures in Lenfest Plaza,
Philadelphia. Her design and multimedia work has been featured in
publications such as National Geographic, Siggraph, Computer Aided
Architectural Design Futures, Bon Appétit, WIRED, The New York Times,
and Automation in Construction. Lewin served as Creative Director
for the Ceren Project and Ivee Project at Sundance Laboratory for
Computing in Design and Planning, as well as a lead designer for ITN
(Saber) in Palo Alto. Lewin earned her BA in Environmental Design from the University of Colorado Boulder and an MPS in Interactive Telecomunications from New York University.

 | A Midsummer Night's Dream (Preview)
8:00 PM - 10:00 PM
Directed by Geoffrey Kent
Dream a little dream of love and laughter as Shakespeare's most beloved comedy casts its spell on the enchanting Mary Rippon stage. Moonlight, magic and mirth ensue when four young lovers and a troupe of actors leave behind the confines of Edwardian propriety and find themselves subject to the wiles of a fairy kingdom with a distinctly Jazz Age flair. It's an enchanting evening of romance under the stars and a wonderful introduction to Shakespeare for children.
Enjoy the full "Shakespearience" with a picnic on the green before the show (all dietary needs will be accommodated with advance notice). Proceeds benefit CU and CSF! Click here for more information. |

10:00 AM - 7:00 PM
ART/TEKNE: Part 2*
The CU Art Museum at the University of Colorado, Boulder is pleased to present It’s Electric, a solo exhibition featuring six new playful,
interactive light and sound sculptures by new media artist Jen Lewin.
These works are intended to inspire experimentation and group
collaboration while encouraging participants to become part of the
artwork through direct interaction and active collaboration with the
work on view.
Lewin has spent the last fifteen years honing her highly technical
medium through the fabrication of large-scale interactive sculptures
that she has exhibited in public spaces throughout the country. From
responsive sound and light forms that incorporate dance, to woven fiber
video curtains that reflect movement, to giant robotic moths that
flutter in response to human touch, Lewin’s ability to utilize
technology as a medium challenges many pre-conceived limits and
conceptions of new media works. At once organic and electronic, Jen
Lewin’s playful sculptures leave viewers enchanted and surprised while
encouraging delight through the viewer’s engagement with the work.
Jen Lewin is an internationally renowned interactive sculptor whose
studio is located in Boulder, Colorado. Her technically complex works
have been featured at the Gwangju Art Biennale, Tisch School of the
Arts, Lincoln Center, Burning Man, WIRED Magazine’s NextFest, and SXSW. In 2010, Lewin collaborated with Claes Oldenburg to internally illuminate The Paint Torch,
one of Oldenburg’s large-scale public sculptures in Lenfest Plaza,
Philadelphia. Her design and multimedia work has been featured in
publications such as National Geographic, Siggraph, Computer Aided
Architectural Design Futures, Bon Appétit, WIRED, The New York Times,
and Automation in Construction. Lewin served as Creative Director
for the Ceren Project and Ivee Project at Sundance Laboratory for
Computing in Design and Planning, as well as a lead designer for ITN
(Saber) in Palo Alto. Lewin earned her BA in Environmental Design from the University of Colorado Boulder and an MPS in Interactive Telecomunications from New York University.
*The ART/TEKNE series, curated by Lisa Tamiris Becker, is a three-part
series planned for the summers of 2012-2014. ART/TEKNE features
solo-exhibitions of internationally known Colorado artists whose works
chart new relationships between technology, aesthetics, and society.
This exhibition is generously supported in part by the HBB Foundation,
the CU Art Museum benefactors and members, as well as by the CU Boulder
Student Arts and Cultural Enrichment (ACE) fees.

10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
ART/TEKNE: Part 2*
The CU Art Museum at the University of Colorado, Boulder is pleased to present It’s Electric, a solo exhibition featuring six new playful,
interactive light and sound sculptures by new media artist Jen Lewin.
These works are intended to inspire experimentation and group
collaboration while encouraging participants to become part of the
artwork through direct interaction and active collaboration with the
work on view.
Lewin has spent the last fifteen years honing her highly technical
medium through the fabrication of large-scale interactive sculptures
that she has exhibited in public spaces throughout the country. From
responsive sound and light forms that incorporate dance, to woven fiber
video curtains that reflect movement, to giant robotic moths that
flutter in response to human touch, Lewin’s ability to utilize
technology as a medium challenges many pre-conceived limits and
conceptions of new media works. At once organic and electronic, Jen
Lewin’s playful sculptures leave viewers enchanted and surprised while
encouraging delight through the viewer’s engagement with the work.
Jen Lewin is an internationally renowned interactive sculptor whose
studio is located in Boulder, Colorado. Her technically complex works
have been featured at the Gwangju Art Biennale, Tisch School of the
Arts, Lincoln Center, Burning Man, WIRED Magazine’s NextFest, and SXSW. In 2010, Lewin collaborated with Claes Oldenburg to internally illuminate The Paint Torch,

1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Directed by Gary Wright
A hilarious homage for Shakespeare lovers, haters and everyone in between as three actors frantically attempt to perform the entire canon — all 37 plays! — in a couple of hours. That necessitates some ... creative editing. Cheer the histories on the gridiron! Get down with Othello through the magic of rap! Pick up culinary tips courtesy of Titus Andronicus! "Shakespeare as written by Reader's Digest, acted by Monty Python, and performed at the speed of the minute waltz." — Los Angeles Herald
Enjoy the full "Shakespearience" with a picnic on the green before the show (all dietary needs will be accommodated with advance notice). Proceeds benefit CU and CSF! Click here for more information.

Beetles are one of the most successful organisms on the planet. Representing 40 percent of all insects and having existed for millions of years, they make up 25 percent of all known species.
Immerse yourself in "Beetles" and explore their diversity, beauty and behavior. Highlighting hundreds upon hundreds of beetles the exhibition includes: the dung beetle, famous for recycling animal feces, and in fact, one species is successful in removing 80 percent of all cattle droppings in parts of Texas; Hercules beetles, as part of the rhinoceros beetle subfamily, is capable of supporting 850 times its weight making it the strongest animal on earth; and the well known and beautiful ladybug is considered an omen of good luck!

10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
ART/TEKNE: Part 2*
The CU Art Museum at the University of Colorado, Boulder is pleased to present It’s Electric, a solo exhibition featuring six new playful,
interactive light and sound sculptures by new media artist Jen Lewin.
These works are intended to inspire experimentation and group
collaboration while encouraging participants to become part of the
artwork through direct interaction and active collaboration with the
work on view.
Lewin has spent the last fifteen years honing her highly technical
medium through the fabrication of large-scale interactive sculptures
that she has exhibited in public spaces throughout the country. From
responsive sound and light forms that incorporate dance, to woven fiber
video curtains that reflect movement, to giant robotic moths that
flutter in response to human touch, Lewin’s ability to utilize
technology as a medium challenges many pre-conceived limits and
conceptions of new media works. At once organic and electronic, Jen
Lewin’s playful sculptures leave viewers enchanted and surprised while
encouraging delight through the viewer’s engagement with the work.
Jen Lewin is an internationally renowned interactive sculptor whose
studio is located in Boulder, Colorado. Her technically complex works
have been featured at the Gwangju Art Biennale, Tisch School of the
Arts, Lincoln Center, Burning Man, WIRED Magazine’s NextFest, and SXSW. In 2010, Lewin collaborated with Claes Oldenburg to internally illuminate The Paint Torch,
one of Oldenburg’s large-scale public sculptures in Lenfest Plaza,
Philadelphia. Her design and multimedia work has been featured in
publications such as National Geographic, Siggraph, Computer Aided
Architectural Design Futures, Bon Appétit, WIRED, The New York Times,
and Automation in Construction. Lewin served as Creative Director
for the Ceren Project and Ivee Project at Sundance Laboratory for
Computing in Design and Planning, as well as a lead designer for ITN
(Saber) in Palo Alto. Lewin earned her BA in Environmental Design from the University of Colorado Boulder and an MPS in Interactive Telecomunications from New York University.
*The ART/TEKNE series, curated by Lisa Tamiris Becker, is a three-part
series planned for the summers of 2012-2014. ART/TEKNE features
solo-exhibitions of internationally known Colorado artists whose works
chart new relationships between technology, aesthetics, and society.
This exhibition is generously supported in part by the HBB Foundation,
the CU Art Museum benefactors and members, as well as by the CU Boulder
Student Arts and Cultural Enrichment (ACE) fees.

7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
Directed by Gary Wright
A hilarious homage for Shakespeare lovers, haters and everyone in between as three actors frantically attempt to perform the entire canon — all 37 plays! — in a couple of hours. That necessitates some ... creative editing. Cheer the histories on the gridiron! Get down with Othello through the magic of rap! Pick up culinary tips courtesy of Titus Andronicus! "Shakespeare as written by Reader's Digest, acted by Monty Python, and performed at the speed of the minute waltz." — Los Angeles Herald
Enjoy the full "Shakespearience" with a picnic on the green before the show (all dietary needs will be accommodated with advance notice). Proceeds benefit CU and CSF! Click here for more information.

8:00 PM - 10:00 PM
Directed by Geoffrey Kent
Dream a little dream of love and laughter as Shakespeare's most beloved comedy casts its spell on the enchanting Mary Rippon stage. Moonlight, magic and mirth ensue when four young lovers and a troupe of actors leave behind the confines of Edwardian propriety and find themselves subject to the wiles of a fairy kingdom with a distinctly Jazz Age flair. It's an enchanting evening of romance under the stars and a wonderful introduction to Shakespeare for children.

| | JEN LEWIN: It's Electric
10:00 AM - 7:00 PM
ART/TEKNE: Part 2*
The CU Art Museum at the University of Colorado, Boulder is pleased to present It’s Electric, a solo exhibition featuring six new playful,
interactive light and sound sculptures by new media artist Jen Lewin.
These works are intended to inspire experimentation and group
collaboration while encouraging participants to become part of the
artwork through direct interaction and active collaboration with the
work on view.
Lewin has spent the last fifteen years honing her highly technical
medium through the fabrication of large-scale interactive sculptures
that she has exhibited in public spaces throughout the country. From
responsive sound and light forms that incorporate dance, to woven fiber
video curtains that reflect movement, to giant robotic moths that
flutter in response to human touch, Lewin’s ability to utilize
technology as a medium challenges many pre-conceived limits and
conceptions of new media works. At once organic and electronic, Jen
Lewin’s playful sculptures leave viewers enchanted and surprised while
encouraging delight through the viewer’s engagement with the work.
Jen Lewin is an internationally renowned interactive sculptor whose
studio is located in Boulder, Colorado. Her technically complex works
have been featured at the Gwangju Art Biennale, Tisch School of the
Arts, Lincoln Center, Burning Man, WIRED Magazine’s NextFest, and SXSW. In 2010, Lewin collaborated with Claes Oldenburg to internally illuminate The Paint Torch,
one of Oldenburg’s large-scale public sculptures in Lenfest Plaza,
Philadelphia. Her design and multimedia work has been featured in
publications such as National Geographic, Siggraph, Computer Aided
Architectural Design Futures, Bon Appétit, WIRED, The New York Times,
and Automation in Construction. Lewin served as Creative Director
for the Ceren Project and Ivee Project at Sundance Laboratory for
Computing in Design and Planning, as well as a lead designer for ITN
(Saber) in Palo Alto. Lewin earned her BA in Environmental Design from the University of Colorado Boulder and an MPS in Interactive Telecomunications from New York University.
*The ART/TEKNE series, curated by Lisa Tamiris Becker, is a three-part
series planned for the summers of 2012-2014. ART/TEKNE features
solo-exhibitions of internationally known Colorado artists whose works
chart new relationships between technology, aesthetics, and society.
This exhibition is generously supported in part by the HBB Foundation,
the CU Art Museum benefactors and members, as well as by the CU Boulder

 | Macbeth (Preview)
8:00 PM - 10:00 PM
Directed by Jane Page
Shakespeare's great tragedy explores the darkest corners of the human heart as the ambitious Macbeth schemes and murders in his raw, ambitious quest for the throne. The ominous portents of three "weird sisters" and a warning from Banquo's ghost guide his bloody hand ... or do they? Set amid the harsh landscapes — both political and geographic — of 1980s Afghanistan, this dark and brooding vision is directed by Jane Page, director of CSF's 2009 smash hit, To Kill a Mockingbird.
Enjoy the full "Shakespearience" with a picnic on the green before the show (all dietary needs will be accommodated with advance notice). Proceeds benefit CU and CSF! Click here for more information.

| | JEN LEWIN: It's Electric
12:00 PM - 4:00 PM
ART/TEKNE: Part 2*
The CU Art Museum at the University of Colorado, Boulder is pleased to present It’s Electric, a solo exhibition featuring six new playful,
interactive light and sound sculptures by new media artist Jen Lewin.
These works are intended to inspire experimentation and group
collaboration while encouraging participants to become part of the
artwork through direct interaction and active collaboration with the
work on view.
Lewin has spent the last fifteen years honing her highly technical
medium through the fabrication of large-scale interactive sculptures
that she has exhibited in public spaces throughout the country. From
responsive sound and light forms that incorporate dance, to woven fiber
video curtains that reflect movement, to giant robotic moths that
flutter in response to human touch, Lewin’s ability to utilize
technology as a medium challenges many pre-conceived limits and
conceptions of new media works. At once organic and electronic, Jen
Lewin’s playful sculptures leave viewers enchanted and surprised while
encouraging delight through the viewer’s engagement with the work.
Jen Lewin is an internationally renowned interactive sculptor whose
studio is located in Boulder, Colorado. Her technically complex works
have been featured at the Gwangju Art Biennale, Tisch School of the
Arts, Lincoln Center, Burning Man, WIRED Magazine’s NextFest, and SXSW. In 2010, Lewin collaborated with Claes Oldenburg to internally illuminate The Paint Torch,
one of Oldenburg’s large-scale public sculptures in Lenfest Plaza,
Philadelphia. Her design and multimedia work has been featured in
publications such as National Geographic, Siggraph, Computer Aided
Architectural Design Futures, Bon Appétit, WIRED, The New York Times,
and Automation in Construction. Lewin served as Creative Director
for the Ceren Project and Ivee Project at Sundance Laboratory for
Computing in Design and Planning, as well as a lead designer for ITN
(Saber) in Palo Alto. Lewin earned her BA in Environmental Design from the University of Colorado Boulder and an MPS in Interactive Telecomunications from New York University.

1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Directed by Gary Wright
A hilarious homage for Shakespeare lovers, haters and everyone in between as three actors frantically attempt to perform the entire canon — all 37 plays! — in a couple of hours. That necessitates some ... creative editing. Cheer the histories on the gridiron! Get down with Othello through the magic of rap! Pick up culinary tips courtesy of Titus Andronicus! "Shakespeare as written by Reader's Digest, acted by Monty Python, and performed at the speed of the minute waltz." — Los Angeles Herald

| | JEN LEWIN: It's Electric
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
ART/TEKNE: Part 2*
The CU Art Museum at the University of Colorado, Boulder is pleased to present It’s Electric, a solo exhibition featuring six new playful,
interactive light and sound sculptures by new media artist Jen Lewin.
These works are intended to inspire experimentation and group
collaboration while encouraging participants to become part of the
artwork through direct interaction and active collaboration with the
work on view.
Lewin has spent the last fifteen years honing her highly technical
medium through the fabrication of large-scale interactive sculptures
that she has exhibited in public spaces throughout the country. From
responsive sound and light forms that incorporate dance, to woven fiber
video curtains that reflect movement, to giant robotic moths that
flutter in response to human touch, Lewin’s ability to utilize
technology as a medium challenges many pre-conceived limits and
conceptions of new media works. At once organic and electronic, Jen
Lewin’s playful sculptures leave viewers enchanted and surprised while
encouraging delight through the viewer’s engagement with the work.
Jen Lewin is an internationally renowned interactive sculptor whose
studio is located in Boulder, Colorado. Her technically complex works
have been featured at the Gwangju Art Biennale, Tisch School of the
Arts, Lincoln Center, Burning Man, WIRED Magazine’s NextFest, and SXSW. In 2010, Lewin collaborated with Claes Oldenburg to internally illuminate The Paint Torch,
one of Oldenburg’s large-scale public sculptures in Lenfest Plaza,
Philadelphia. Her design and multimedia work has been featured in
publications such as National Geographic, Siggraph, Computer Aided
Architectural Design Futures, Bon Appétit, WIRED, The New York Times,
and Automation in Construction. Lewin served as Creative Director
for the Ceren Project and Ivee Project at Sundance Laboratory for
Computing in Design and Planning, as well as a lead designer for ITN
(Saber) in Palo Alto. Lewin earned her BA in Environmental Design from the University of Colorado Boulder and an MPS in Interactive Telecomunications from New York University.
*The ART/TEKNE series, curated by Lisa Tamiris Becker, is a three-part
series planned for the summers of 2012-2014. ART/TEKNE features
solo-exhibitions of internationally known Colorado artists whose works
chart new relationships between technology, aesthetics, and society.
This exhibition is generously supported in part by the HBB Foundation,
the CU Art Museum benefactors and members, as well as by the CU Boulder
Student Arts and Cultural Enrichment (ACE) fees.

| | Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)
7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
Directed by Gary Wright
A hilarious homage for Shakespeare lovers, haters and everyone in between as three actors frantically attempt to perform the entire canon — all 37 plays! — in a couple of hours. That necessitates some ... creative editing. Cheer the histories on the gridiron! Get down with Othello through the magic of rap! Pick up culinary tips courtesy of Titus Andronicus! "Shakespeare as written by Reader's Digest, acted by Monty Python, and performed at the speed of the minute waltz." — Los Angeles Herald
Enjoy the full "Shakespearience" with a picnic on the green before the show (all dietary needs will be accommodated with advance notice). Proceeds benefit CU and CSF! Click here for more information.

Dream a little dream of love and laughter as Shakespeare's most beloved comedy casts its spell on the enchanting Mary Rippon stage. Moonlight, magic and mirth ensue when four young lovers and a troupe of actors leave behind the confines of Edwardian propriety and find themselves subject to the wiles of a fairy kingdom with a distinctly Jazz Age flair. It's an enchanting evening of romance under the stars and a wonderful introduction to Shakespeare for children.

 | Exploring Diversity and Inclusion in College Classrooms
8:30 AM - 3:00 PM
Application Form 2013-14
For CU Boulder Teaching Assistants/Graduate Part-time Instructors
Working experience with diversity issues in higher education is essential to effective and appropriate classroom teaching and invaluable on the academic job market.
The Graduate Teacher Program (GTP) is hosting a free four-day interactive diversity training in July 2013. The training is designed to help CU Boulder graduate teachers (TAs and GPTIs) incorporate diversity and inclusion into their classroom environments regardless of discipline.
(Link to application)
Participation is limited to 25 registered participants and satisfies 16 workshop credits toward the GTP workshop requirement of the Certificate in College Teaching and/or the workshop or project portion of the Professional Development Certificate for Preparing Future Faculty. There is no fee for the training, only a required commitment to participate and complete all four sessions. Participants will be notified by June 15 regarding their acceptance.
Topics covered will include:
- A range of diversity topics presented by experts in their fields
- Managing difficult conversations with students
- Integrating multiple perspectives into arts, humanities, social science, and STEM classrooms
- Creating and accessing materials in your field inclusive of different populations and multiple perspectives
- Approaching classroom discussions and issues when the teacher and students are from dissimilar backgrounds
- Creating teaching and learning objectives that reflect content representative of multiple perspectives and knowledge of students from diverse backgrounds
- Reflection on teachers’ positionality and its impact in the classroom
Methods used during the training include:
expert content presentations, small group work, role-playing, written
self-reflections, application of research to practice and personal
project, exercises on understanding and incorporating multiple
perspectives into one’s own practice.
Outcomes:
Participants will reflect on their own relationship to diversity and how it informs their incorporation of diversity into the classroom. Participants will learn multiple perspectives from presenters and participants and share their own. Participants will work on a product of their own choice—a series of exercises or activities, strategies, assignments, lessons, a module, or a syllabus that incorporates diversity and inclusion. Attendees may also voluntarily contribute their insights to a research study throughout the training.

| | JEN LEWIN: It's Electric
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
ART/TEKNE: Part 2*
The CU Art Museum at the University of Colorado, Boulder is pleased to present It’s Electric, a solo exhibition featuring six new playful,
interactive light and sound sculptures by new media artist Jen Lewin.
These works are intended to inspire experimentation and group
collaboration while encouraging participants to become part of the
artwork through direct interaction and active collaboration with the
work on view.
Lewin has spent the last fifteen years honing her highly technical
medium through the fabrication of large-scale interactive sculptures
that she has exhibited in public spaces throughout the country. From
responsive sound and light forms that incorporate dance, to woven fiber
video curtains that reflect movement, to giant robotic moths that
flutter in response to human touch, Lewin’s ability to utilize
technology as a medium challenges many pre-conceived limits and
conceptions of new media works. At once organic and electronic, Jen
Lewin’s playful sculptures leave viewers enchanted and surprised while
encouraging delight through the viewer’s engagement with the work.
Jen Lewin is an internationally renowned interactive sculptor whose
studio is located in Boulder, Colorado. Her technically complex works
have been featured at the Gwangju Art Biennale, Tisch School of the
Arts, Lincoln Center, Burning Man, WIRED Magazine’s NextFest, and SXSW. In 2010, Lewin collaborated with Claes Oldenburg to internally illuminate The Paint Torch,
one of Oldenburg’s large-scale public sculptures in Lenfest Plaza,
Philadelphia. Her design and multimedia work has been featured in
publications such as National Geographic, Siggraph, Computer Aided
Architectural Design Futures, Bon Appétit, WIRED, The New York Times,
and Automation in Construction. Lewin served as Creative Director
for the Ceren Project and Ivee Project at Sundance Laboratory for
Computing in Design and Planning, as well as a lead designer for ITN
(Saber) in Palo Alto. Lewin earned her BA in Environmental Design from the University of Colorado Boulder and an MPS in Interactive Telecomunications from New York University.
*The ART/TEKNE series, curated by Lisa Tamiris Becker, is a three-part
series planned for the summers of 2012-2014. ART/TEKNE features
solo-exhibitions of internationally known Colorado artists whose works
chart new relationships between technology, aesthetics, and society.
This exhibition is generously supported in part by the HBB Foundation,
the CU Art Museum benefactors and members, as well as by the CU Boulder
Student Arts and Cultural Enrichment (ACE) fees.

| | JEN LEWIN: It's Electric
12:00 PM - 4:00 PM
ART/TEKNE: Part 2*
The CU Art Museum at the University of Colorado, Boulder is pleased to present It’s Electric, a solo exhibition featuring six new playful,
interactive light and sound sculptures by new media artist Jen Lewin.
These works are intended to inspire experimentation and group
collaboration while encouraging participants to become part of the
artwork through direct interaction and active collaboration with the
work on view.
Lewin has spent the last fifteen years honing her highly technical
medium through the fabrication of large-scale interactive sculptures
that she has exhibited in public spaces throughout the country. From
responsive sound and light forms that incorporate dance, to woven fiber
video curtains that reflect movement, to giant robotic moths that
flutter in response to human touch, Lewin’s ability to utilize
technology as a medium challenges many pre-conceived limits and
conceptions of new media works. At once organic and electronic, Jen
Lewin’s playful sculptures leave viewers enchanted and surprised while
encouraging delight through the viewer’s engagement with the work.
Jen Lewin is an internationally renowned interactive sculptor whose
studio is located in Boulder, Colorado. Her technically complex works
have been featured at the Gwangju Art Biennale, Tisch School of the
Arts, Lincoln Center, Burning Man, WIRED Magazine’s NextFest, and SXSW. In 2010, Lewin collaborated with Claes Oldenburg to internally illuminate The Paint Torch,
one of Oldenburg’s large-scale public sculptures in Lenfest Plaza,
Philadelphia. Her design and multimedia work has been featured in
publications such as National Geographic, Siggraph, Computer Aided
Architectural Design Futures, Bon Appétit, WIRED, The New York Times,
and Automation in Construction. Lewin served as Creative Director
for the Ceren Project and Ivee Project at Sundance Laboratory for
Computing in Design and Planning, as well as a lead designer for ITN
(Saber) in Palo Alto. Lewin earned her BA in Environmental Design from the University of Colorado Boulder and an MPS in Interactive Telecomunications from New York University.
*The ART/TEKNE series, curated by Lisa Tamiris Becker, is a three-part
series planned for the summers of 2012-2014. ART/TEKNE features
solo-exhibitions of internationally known Colorado artists whose works
chart new relationships between technology, aesthetics, and society.
This exhibition is generously supported in part by the HBB Foundation,
the CU Art Museum benefactors and members, as well as by the CU Boulder
Student Arts and Cultural Enrichment (ACE) fees.

| | Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)
7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
Directed by Gary Wright
A hilarious homage for Shakespeare lovers, haters and everyone in between as three actors frantically attempt to perform the entire canon — all 37 plays! — in a couple of hours. That necessitates some ... creative editing. Cheer the histories on the gridiron! Get down with Othello through the magic of rap! Pick up culinary tips courtesy of Titus Andronicus! "Shakespeare as written by Reader's Digest, acted by Monty Python, and performed at the speed of the minute waltz." — Los Angeles Herald
Enjoy the full "Shakespearience" with a picnic on the green before the show (all dietary needs will be accommodated with advance notice). Proceeds benefit CU and CSF! Click here for more information.

 | Macbeth
8:00 PM - 10:00 PM
Directed by Jane Page
Shakespeare's great tragedy explores the darkest corners of the human heart as the ambitious Macbeth schemes and murders in his raw, ambitious quest for the throne. The ominous portents of three "weird sisters" and a warning from Banquo's ghost guide his bloody hand ... or do they? Set amid the harsh landscapes — both political and geographic — of 1980s Afghanistan, this dark and brooding vision is directed by Jane Page, director of CSF's 2009 smash hit, To Kill a Mockingbird.

The CU Art Museum at the University of Colorado, Boulder is pleased to present It’s Electric, a solo exhibition featuring six new playful,
interactive light and sound sculptures by new media artist Jen Lewin.
These works are intended to inspire experimentation and group
collaboration while encouraging participants to become part of the
artwork through direct interaction and active collaboration with the
work on view.
Lewin has spent the last fifteen years honing her highly technical
medium through the fabrication of large-scale interactive sculptures
that she has exhibited in public spaces throughout the country. From
responsive sound and light forms that incorporate dance, to woven fiber
video curtains that reflect movement, to giant robotic moths that
flutter in response to human touch, Lewin’s ability to utilize
technology as a medium challenges many pre-conceived limits and
conceptions of new media works. At once organic and electronic, Jen
Lewin’s playful sculptures leave viewers enchanted and surprised while
encouraging delight through the viewer’s engagement with the work.
Jen Lewin is an internationally renowned interactive sculptor whose
studio is located in Boulder, Colorado. Her technically complex works
have been featured at the Gwangju Art Biennale, Tisch School of the
Arts, Lincoln Center, Burning Man, WIRED Magazine’s NextFest, and SXSW. In 2010, Lewin collaborated with Claes Oldenburg to internally illuminate The Paint Torch,
one of Oldenburg’s large-scale public sculptures in Lenfest Plaza,
Philadelphia. Her design and multimedia work has been featured in
publications such as National Geographic, Siggraph, Computer Aided
Architectural Design Futures, Bon Appétit, WIRED, The New York Times,
and Automation in Construction. Lewin served as Creative Director
for the Ceren Project and Ivee Project at Sundance Laboratory for
Computing in Design and Planning, as well as a lead designer for ITN
(Saber) in Palo Alto. Lewin earned her BA in Environmental Design from the University of Colorado Boulder and an MPS in Interactive Telecomunications from New York University.
*The ART/TEKNE series, curated by Lisa Tamiris Becker, is a three-part
series planned for the summers of 2012-2014. ART/TEKNE features
solo-exhibitions of internationally known Colorado artists whose works
chart new relationships between technology, aesthetics, and society.
This exhibition is generously supported in part by the HBB Foundation,
the CU Art Museum benefactors and members, as well as by the CU Boulder
Student Arts and Cultural Enrichment (ACE) fees.

 | Richard II (Preview)
7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
Directed by James Symons
Richard II opens Shakespeare’s epic four-play Henriad, the backstory to England’s bloody Wars of the Roses — the saga that ends with Richard III. Good-hearted yet weak, Richard II is fated to be challenged by the aggressive, popular Henry Bolingbroke. At a time when image is everything in American politics, Richard’s tragedy poses critical questions about how to govern a divided nation. (Look for the succeeding plays in the tetralogy, Henry IV, Parts 1 and 2, in 2014, and Henry V in 2015*.)
* The University reserves the right to cancel or postpone any future performances in this cycle.
Enjoy the full "Shakespearience" with a picnic on the green before the show (all dietary needs will be accommodated with advance notice). Proceeds benefit CU and CSF! Click here for more information.

| | Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)
7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
Directed by Gary Wright
A hilarious homage for Shakespeare lovers, haters and everyone in between as three actors frantically attempt to perform the entire canon — all 37 plays! — in a couple of hours. That necessitates some ... creative editing. Cheer the histories on the gridiron! Get down with Othello through the magic of rap! Pick up culinary tips courtesy of Titus Andronicus! "Shakespeare as written by Reader's Digest, acted by Monty Python, and performed at the speed of the minute waltz." — Los Angeles Herald
Enjoy the full "Shakespearience" with a picnic on the green before the show (all dietary needs will be accommodated with advance notice). Proceeds benefit CU and CSF! Click here for more information.

| | Macbeth
8:00 PM - 10:00 PM
Directed by Jane Page
Shakespeare's great tragedy explores the darkest corners of the human heart as the ambitious Macbeth schemes and murders in his raw, ambitious quest for the throne. The ominous portents of three "weird sisters" and a warning from Banquo's ghost guide his bloody hand ... or do they? Set amid the harsh landscapes — both political and geographic — of 1980s Afghanistan, this dark and brooding vision is directed by Jane Page, director of CSF's 2009 smash hit, To Kill a Mockingbird.

| | A Midsummer Night's Dream
6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Directed by Geoffrey Kent
Dream a little dream of love and laughter as Shakespeare's most beloved comedy casts its spell on the enchanting Mary Rippon stage. Moonlight, magic and mirth ensue when four young lovers and a troupe of actors leave behind the confines of Edwardian propriety and find themselves subject to the wiles of a fairy kingdom with a distinctly Jazz Age flair. It's an enchanting evening of romance under the stars and a wonderful introduction to Shakespeare for children.

 | Technology for College Teachers: Making Reading Collaborative: Using NB to Promote Reading
3:00 PM - 4:30 PM
Moonhawk Kim, Assistant Professor, Political Science
In teaching any class that requires students to read and understand a set of assigned readings, instructors face a common problem. Students either don’t do the readings or do them at a level that is too shallow. I will argue that making reading a collective and collaborative enterprise is one solution to this problem. In this session, I will discuss the rationale, the benefits and the challenges of using a relatively new technological tool called NB.

| | A Midsummer Night's Dream
6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Directed by Geoffrey Kent
Dream a little dream of love and laughter as Shakespeare's most beloved comedy casts its spell on the enchanting Mary Rippon stage. Moonlight, magic and mirth ensue when four young lovers and a troupe of actors leave behind the confines of Edwardian propriety and find themselves subject to the wiles of a fairy kingdom with a distinctly Jazz Age flair. It's an enchanting evening of romance under the stars and a wonderful introduction to Shakespeare for children.
Enjoy the full "Shakespearience" with a picnic on the green before the show (all dietary needs will be accommodated with advance notice). Proceeds benefit CU and CSF! Click here for more information.

| | JEN LEWIN: It's Electric
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
ART/TEKNE: Part 2*
The CU Art Museum at the University of Colorado, Boulder is pleased to present It’s Electric, a solo exhibition featuring six new playful,
interactive light and sound sculptures by new media artist Jen Lewin.
These works are intended to inspire experimentation and group
collaboration while encouraging participants to become part of the
artwork through direct interaction and active collaboration with the
work on view.
Lewin has spent the last fifteen years honing her highly technical
medium through the fabrication of large-scale interactive sculptures
that she has exhibited in public spaces throughout the country. From
responsive sound and light forms that incorporate dance, to woven fiber
video curtains that reflect movement, to giant robotic moths that
flutter in response to human touch, Lewin’s ability to utilize
technology as a medium challenges many pre-conceived limits and
conceptions of new media works. At once organic and electronic, Jen
Lewin’s playful sculptures leave viewers enchanted and surprised while
encouraging delight through the viewer’s engagement with the work.
Jen Lewin is an internationally renowned interactive sculptor whose
studio is located in Boulder, Colorado. Her technically complex works
have been featured at the Gwangju Art Biennale, Tisch School of the
Arts, Lincoln Center, Burning Man, WIRED Magazine’s NextFest, and SXSW. In 2010, Lewin collaborated with Claes Oldenburg to internally illuminate The Paint Torch,
one of Oldenburg’s large-scale public sculptures in Lenfest Plaza,
Philadelphia. Her design and multimedia work has been featured in
publications such as National Geographic, Siggraph, Computer Aided
Architectural Design Futures, Bon Appétit, WIRED, The New York Times,
and Automation in Construction. Lewin served as Creative Director
for the Ceren Project and Ivee Project at Sundance Laboratory for
Computing in Design and Planning, as well as a lead designer for ITN
(Saber) in Palo Alto. Lewin earned her BA in Environmental Design from the University of Colorado Boulder and an MPS in Interactive Telecomunications from New York University.
*The ART/TEKNE series, curated by Lisa Tamiris Becker, is a three-part
series planned for the summers of 2012-2014. ART/TEKNE features
solo-exhibitions of internationally known Colorado artists whose works
chart new relationships between technology, aesthetics, and society.
This exhibition is generously supported in part by the HBB Foundation,
the CU Art Museum benefactors and members, as well as by the CU Boulder
Student Arts and Cultural Enrichment (ACE) fees.

8:00 PM - 10:00 PM
Directed by Jane Page
Shakespeare's great tragedy explores the darkest corners of the human heart as the ambitious Macbeth schemes and murders in his raw, ambitious quest for the throne. The ominous portents of three "weird sisters" and a warning from Banquo's ghost guide his bloody hand ... or do they? Set amid the harsh landscapes — both political and geographic — of 1980s Afghanistan, this dark and brooding vision is directed by Jane Page, director of CSF's 2009 smash hit, To Kill a Mockingbird.

7:30 PM - 9:30 PM

A hilarious homage for Shakespeare lovers, haters and everyone in between as three actors frantically attempt to perform the entire canon — all 37 plays! — in a couple of hours.

"Shakespeare as written by Reader's Digest, acted by Monty Python, and performed at the speed of the minute waltz." — Los Angeles Herald

 | Richard II
1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Directed by James Symons
Richard II opens Shakespeare’s epic four-play Henriad, the backstory to England’s bloody Wars of the Roses — the saga that ends with Richard III. Good-hearted yet weak, Richard II is fated to be challenged by the aggressive, popular Henry Bolingbroke. At a time when image is everything in American politics, Richard’s tragedy poses critical questions about how to govern a divided nation. (Look for the succeeding plays in the tetralogy, Henry IV, Parts 1 and 2, in 2014, and Henry V in 2015*.)

| | Richard II
7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
Directed by James Symons
Richard II opens Shakespeare’s epic four-play Henriad, the backstory to England’s bloody Wars of the Roses — the saga that ends with Richard III. Good-hearted yet weak, Richard II is fated to be challenged by the aggressive, popular Henry Bolingbroke. At a time when image is everything in American politics, Richard’s tragedy poses critical questions about how to govern a divided nation. (Look for the succeeding plays in the tetralogy, Henry IV, Parts 1 and 2, in 2014, and Henry V in 2015*.)
* The University reserves the right to cancel or postpone any future performances in this cycle.

| | Macbeth
6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Directed by Jane Page
Shakespeare's great tragedy explores the darkest corners of the human heart as the ambitious Macbeth schemes and murders in his raw, ambitious quest for the throne. The ominous portents of three "weird sisters" and a warning from Banquo's ghost guide his bloody hand ... or do they? Set amid the harsh landscapes — both political and geographic — of 1980s Afghanistan, this dark and brooding vision is directed by Jane Page, director of CSF's 2009 smash hit, To Kill a Mockingbird.

| | Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)
7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
Directed by Gary Wright
A hilarious homage for Shakespeare lovers, haters and everyone in between as three actors frantically attempt to perform the entire canon — all 37 plays! — in a couple of hours. That necessitates some ... creative editing. Cheer the histories on the gridiron! Get down with Othello through the magic of rap! Pick up culinary tips courtesy of Titus Andronicus! "Shakespeare as written by Reader's Digest, acted by Monty Python, and performed at the speed of the minute waltz." — Los Angeles Herald

| | Richard II
1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Directed by James Symons
Richard II opens Shakespeare’s epic four-play Henriad, the backstory to England’s bloody Wars of the Roses — the saga that ends with Richard III. Good-hearted yet weak, Richard II is fated to be challenged by the aggressive, popular Henry Bolingbroke. At a time when image is everything in American politics, Richard’s tragedy poses critical questions about how to govern a divided nation. (Look for the succeeding plays in the tetralogy, Henry IV, Parts 1 and 2, in 2014, and Henry V in 2015*.)
* The University reserves the right to cancel or postpone any future performances in this cycle.

| | Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)
7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
Directed by Gary Wright
A hilarious homage for Shakespeare lovers, haters and everyone in between as three actors frantically attempt to perform the entire canon — all 37 plays! — in a couple of hours. That necessitates some ... creative editing. Cheer the histories on the gridiron! Get down with Othello through the magic of rap! Pick up culinary tips courtesy of Titus Andronicus! "Shakespeare as written by Reader's Digest, acted by Monty Python, and performed at the speed of the minute waltz." — Los Angeles Herald

| | Macbeth
8:00 PM - 10:00 PM
Directed by Jane Page
Shakespeare's great tragedy explores the darkest corners of the human heart as the ambitious Macbeth schemes and murders in his raw, ambitious quest for the throne. The ominous portents of three "weird sisters" and a warning from Banquo's ghost guide his bloody hand ... or do they? Set amid the harsh landscapes — both political and geographic — of 1980s Afghanistan, this dark and brooding vision is directed by Jane Page, director of CSF's 2009 smash hit, To Kill a Mockingbird.
