  Elevator Repair Service (ERS) is a New York City–based company that creates original works for live theater with an ongoing ensemble. The company’s shows are created from a wide range of texts that include found transcripts of trials and debates, literature, classical dramas, and new plays. ERS will create new, ensemble-based short theater pieces with BGSU students. The public event will include a performance of these new works and a presentation by ERS about the company’s history and process. Founded in 1991, ERS has created an extensive body of work. These have earned the company a loyal following and made it one of New York’s most highly acclaimed experimental theater companies. The company is best known for Gatz, its award-winning verbatim staging of the entire text of The Great Gatsby. ERS has received numerous awards and distinctions, including Lortel awards, a Bessie award, and an OBIE award for Sustained Excellence, as well as a Guggengheim Fellowship and Doris Duke Performing Artist Award for Artistic Director John Collins. 

Our weekly Faculty Artist Series presents our Faculty Scholars in lectures on various topics. This event is free and open to the public. LIVESTREAM LINK Title: Fiddle lessons: community and musical value Abstract: In this presentation, I share some experiences from my year of learning fiddle music across a range of related traditions. By drawing from the sociological and political framework of small groups as sites of cultural meaning, I reflect on how different fiddle traditions like old time, bluegrass, Texas contest style, and Western swing build and reinforce various types of musical and interpersonal value. Communities—just like individuals—are not all the same: they are filled with discourses of authenticity, tradition, and innovation. I will perform examples to emphasize some of these distinctions while demonstrating the importance of supporting spaces that encourage amateurs who find joy in making music with others.
