Each year the Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ makes an impact on the event, and this year is no different.<\/p>\n<p>The festival includes more than 500 performances and events including shows created and performed by students, faculty, and staff at the University. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esm.rochester.edu\/\">Eastman School of Music<\/a> continues to offer up several of its venues to the festival and to serve as host to talented local and national artists.<\/p>\n<p>Making its debut at the 2018 Fringe Festival is ArtAwake. An award-winning exhibition founded in 2008 by then student Carlin Gettliffe \u201909, it takes place each year in a vacant urban space.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are so honored to be listed on the roster and to be an event that is resurrected in a new format through the help of Fringe,\u201d says Fiona Jones \u201919, a creative director of ArtAwake. The exhibition will take place on the First Federal Plaza\u2019s 21st Floor, previously the Changing Scenes Restaurant. The student-produced event will take place from noon to 12 a.m. Saturday, September 22, and is free and open to all.<\/p>\n<p>There is something for everyone at the Fringe Festival, whether it\u2019s a comedy show, musical revue, theater performance, or dance event. We ask some University community members what it\u2019s like to be a participant, and what festival events they recommend this year.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a class=\"button btn\" style=\"color: #fff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/arts\/fringe\/\">See a full schedule of University performers at the 2018 Fringe Festival.<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_335552\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-335552\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-335552 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/rochester-fringe-2018-artawake.jpg\" alt=\"large group of people viewing paintings and other artworks in a large warehouse space\" width=\"1000\" height=\"654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/rochester-fringe-2018-artawake.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/rochester-fringe-2018-artawake-630x412.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/rochester-fringe-2018-artawake-768x502.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-335552\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ArtAwake celebrates its 10th year in 2018 and its first year as a part of the Rochester Fringe Festival. <em>(ArtAwake photo)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>ArtAwake<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><em>Jake Lowenherz \u201919, an electrical and computer engineering major, and Fiona Jones \u201919, a studio art and computer science major, are both creative directors of ArtAwake 2018.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>What drew you to the Fringe?<\/strong><br \/>\nJones: What ended up drawing ArtAwake to Fringe was to be an event that collaborated with the larger Rochester community. Participating with the Keybank Fringe Festival was a dream come true and we are so grateful that we could collaborate with Fringe in such a larger format.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you reinvent ArtAwake for Fringe?<\/strong><br \/>\nJones: Fringe was the motivation for a lot of changes in the way that ArtAwake has functioned in years past. Because Fringe occurs right at the beginning of the school year, we wanted to use ArtAwake as a way to introduce the incoming first year class to the Rochester arts community.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What shows do you recommend this year, besides ArtAwake?<\/strong><br \/>\nJones recommends going to see previous alumnae of Ru Paul Drag Race, Ginger Minj, as she stars as drag legend Divine (featuring Divine\u2019s own music) Jones: As such a huge fan of Ginger from her steps on Drag Race to her career above and beyond, this is such a great way to learn about drag history through this premiere of the new work, but to also get to support legendary queens!<\/p>\n<p>Lowenherz is looking forward to the Spiegeltent. Lowenherz: The whimsy of the venue seems like it will be perfect for the zany shows being put on inside. I look forward to seeing a circus tent miraculously appear out of Kodak theatre.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_335562\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-335562\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-335562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/rochester-fringe-2018-the-yes-album.jpg\" alt=\"John Covach on stage playing guitar\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/rochester-fringe-2018-the-yes-album.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/rochester-fringe-2018-the-yes-album-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/rochester-fringe-2018-the-yes-album-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-335562\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Professor John Covach will perform with Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ students in a tribute to progressive rock.<em> (Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ photo)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><em><strong>The Yes Album<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<p><em><strong>John Covach,<\/strong> director of the Institute for Popular Music, professor of music in the College, and professor of music theory at Eastman, performs in Institute for Popular Music presents The Yes Album on September 14 at Kilbourn Hall, Eastman School.

I also manage to catch some of the smaller shows, which is the scene we like to keep an eye on. It\u2019s not like acrobatics with people on the sides of buildings, but it\u2019s people making small art in small venues for small audiences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you create your show for Fringe?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy partner, Aurora Quinn-Marsh, and I have been putting on shows for the past two years and it\u2019s developed into large collaborations with all of our talented friends. Last February we did a variety show that was really successful at the Yards at the Public Market, so we wanted to do an idea like that, but really step it up and take it to the next level and make it multidisciplinary. In our Fringe show this year, we\u2019ll have film projection, live music, poetry, comedy, and dance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What shows do you recommend seeing this year (besides your own)?<\/strong><br \/>\nDefinitely <em>Aria<\/em> by [director of the University\u2019s<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sas.rochester.edu\/PerformingArts\/\"> Institute for Performing Arts<\/a> and of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sas.rochester.edu\/dan\/\">Program of Dance and Movement<\/a>] Missy Pfohl Smith. It\u2019s her work with projection and dance and incorporating live music.

Before coming to Rochester, I did many Fringes across Canada and the United States and found that each has a unique character. I loved exploring the vibes of each one and meeting new people both within the field of dance as well as in other disciplines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you reinvent or create your show for Fringe?<\/strong><br \/>\nEach show is different. Some years, like last, I go into Fringe with a solid idea, working on creating a specific vision, and other years are more fluid and flexible. This year, I have the amazing opportunity to collaborate with my dancers as well as Tammy Carrasco, a dancer\/professor from The College at Brockport. I enjoy the unknown when creating something that I am less clear on. The process of creation is the scary part but also the thrilling part. To let my mind and body wander through the possibilities is what draws me to making art in the first place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What shows do you recommend seeing this year (besides your own)?<\/strong><br \/>\nI am always a consumer of all things dance and I highly recommend taking in some dance this year. I think people shy away from it, especially if they are used to theater and music, but we have a pretty amazing scene here. Of course I recommend shows by my fellow faculty, including <em>The Kitchen Revue<\/em> and <em>Other Enticing Treats<\/em> by Anne Harris Wilcox and <em>Aria<\/em> by Missy Pfohl Smith and <em>Lost in the Shuffle<\/em> by Cheryl Johnson. Also check out <em>Merged VI<\/em> and <em>FrazeeFeet<\/em> Dance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_335582\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-335582\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-335582\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/rochester-fringe-2018-dave-rivello.jpg\" alt=\"group of musicians performing in a bar\" width=\"1000\" height=\"664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/rochester-fringe-2018-dave-rivello.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/rochester-fringe-2018-dave-rivello-630x418.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/rochester-fringe-2018-dave-rivello-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-335582\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Dave Rivello Ensemble\u2019s performance\u00a0will feature all newly composed music by Dave Rivello, specifically created for Fringe 2018.\u00a0<em>(Don VerPloeg photo)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>DRE\/RED<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><em>Dave Rivello, assistant professor of jazz studies and contemporary media and director of the New Jazz Ensemble at the Eastman School of Music, performs in DRE\/RED on Saturday, September 15 at Kilbourn Hall.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>What draws you to Fringe each year?<\/strong><br \/>\nFringe allows me to push myself to do things I don\u2019t normally get to do. For me, each year is something different. My first year I wrote a continuous piece of music an hour long\u2014my first time writing such a piece. The second was a 30-minute collaboration with a dancer\/choreographer as well as a metal artist. Last year I focused on electronic music. This year is about pushing myself to create a new sound. I realized it\u2019s been 25 years since I formed my own ensemble, performing my own work. So I should celebrate that in some way. I\u2019ve always wanted to do a more electric version of my ensemble, so this year launches an electric version of my band.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you reinvent or create your show each year for Fringe?<\/strong><br \/>\nI do try to push myself to reinvent each year\u2014things I don\u2019t normally write or perform. I love the concept of fringe\u2014the chance to do something a little more experimental or out of the ordinary for me and my daily world. To create something special just for Fringe audiences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which shows do recommend seeing this year (besides your own)?<\/strong><br \/>\nThis year I can finally attend a Missy Smith show. I\u2019ve always had my own shows while she\u2019s been on stage, so I\u2019m looking forward to her, as well as John Covach, for sure.
