Shakespeare's Twelfth Night is a captivating play that disrupts a rigid society with the entrance of two outsiders. Directed by Alice Reagan, this production holds significant importance for the Theatre department at Barnard and Columbia. As a liberal arts institution, it is essential for us to engage periodically with the work of Shakespeare, a writer who continues to influence and inspire. Twelfth Night is a play that embodies both healing and resilience, qualities that are greatly needed in our current circumstances. With the world still grappling with the aftermath of the pandemic and ongoing political and social battles, this production offers a much-needed escape. The ensemble of Twelfth Night portrays a ship of fools, where everyone indulges in misbehavior and madness. However, amidst the initial grief and confusion, the play ultimately leads to reunion and wholeness. Shakespeare reminds us that wholeness does not necessarily mean perfection or eternal happiness in love. Instead, he encourages us to embrace grief and loss as integral parts of our lives, which shape and teach us. By turning our world upside down, Shakespeare forces us to confront reality and leave behind the confines of fantasy. Twelfth Night serves as a moment of revelry and topsy-turvy chaos, but Shakespeare always keeps his eye on the clear light of tomorrow morning. It is a time when we may not be at our best, but we are unapologetically ourselves. Join Barnard and Columbia students for this transformative experience. Tickets can be purchased at https://theatre.barnard.edu/stage-season. Current students can enjoy a 50% discount by using the promo code "Student" at the time of purchase.

"I STOPPED PAINTING WHEN I WAS PREGNANT. THE SMELL OF THE OIL PAINTS AND THE TURPS MADE ME FEEL PHYSICALLY SICK, AND EVEN AFTER MY TERMINATION, I COULDN'T PAINT. IT'S LIKE I NEEDED TO PUNISH MYSELF BY STOPPING THE THING I LOVED DOING THE MOST. I HATED MY BODY; I WAS SCARED OF THE DARK; I WAS SCARED OF BEING ASLEEP. I WAS SUFFERING FROM GUILT AND PUNISHING MYSELF, SO I THREW MYSELF IN A BOX AND GAVE MYSELF THREE AND A HALF WEEKS TO SORT IT OUT. AND I DID. MY ONLY REGRET ABOUT THIS PROJECT WAS THAT I DIDN'T CARRY ON PAINTING FROM THAT MOMENT. IT TOOK ME ANOTHER FIVE YEARS BEFORE I STARTED PAINTING AGAIN." Tracey Emin After a traumatic period in the early 90s with two abortions, Tracey Emin could not physically stand the thought of painting and wanted to face her troubled relationship with the medium. Through fish-eye lenses in the exterior walls of the room, visitors could follow glimpses of Emin’s process. The entire collection of artworks and objects in the room were preserved as an installation, which are all exhibited here in their original constellation. The paintings and drawings that Emin created in the process refer to and appropriate works by male artists Egon Schiele, Yves Klein, Edvard Munch, and Pablo Picasso. Historically, women’s access to the artist’s studio have been as models, not artists. The representation of women has been a male affair, where the female nude stands out as the most distinct example of the objectification of the female body. Further, Emin documented the performance in the photographic series The Life Model Goes Mad, in which she takes on the role of the model in her own studio, reclaiming female identity and sexuality. Exorcism of the Last Painting I Ever Made stands out as a pivotal work and predecessor to a line of works, in which Emin uses her own life, trauma, and emotions as a means of expression, with the most widely recognized piece being My Bed (1998). In this work, Emin positions herself in the double role as both model and artist, challenging the universal acceptance of women as objects of the male gaze. Fueled unapologetically by the intimate and personal, Emin offers up universal themes of love, loss, desire, and grief, the constructs of self and the female experience. This exhibition at Faurschou New York marks the first time that this seminal work of art is exhibited in the United States.

Experience the transformative power of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. Directed by Alice Reagan, this captivating play takes you on a journey through a calcified world that is turned upside down by the arrival of two outsiders. As a Theatre department at a liberal arts institution, we understand the significance of engaging with the work of Shakespeare. Twelfth Night is a play that delves into themes of grief, loss, and confusion, ultimately leading to reunion and wholeness. It reminds us that perfection and happiness in love may not be the ultimate goal. Instead, Shakespeare encourages us to embrace grief and loss as experiences that shape our lives. This production is a moment of topsy-turvy revelry, inviting us to live in reality rather than fantasy. With the talented ensemble of Barnard and Columbia students, this performance promises to be a thought-provoking and immersive experience. Join us on Saturday, October 21 at 3pm at the Glicker Milstein Theatre, LL200 Diana Center in New York City. Don't miss this opportunity to witness Shakespeare's genius firsthand.
