The Rep Kicks Off Big Read Milwaukee

BigRead - Mockingbird

The Big Read is an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) designed to revitalize the role of literature in American culture and bring the transformative power of literature into the lives of its citizens. The Big Read in Milwaukee will focus on Harper Lee's American classic To Kill a Mockingbird.

 

Big Read events begin on Monday September 26th with the Big Read Kick-off, featuring Milwauk ee Mayor Tom Barrett and will continue up to the February 3rd opening performance of To Kill A Mockingbird and through the four week run of the production.

 

The events include: dramatic readings, book discussions, movie screenings, panel discussions, a keynote address, an art contest and The Rep's production of To Kill a Mockingbird. Our collaborative efforts focus on youth (middle school and high school ages) and lapsed or reluctant adult readers. We will also reach out to corporations and the general public, encouraging a true city-wide reading of To Kill a Mockingbird.  We aim to encourage reading and add to the awareness and appreciation of literacy in our community, as well as to provide a platform for discussion about the themes of the novel that remain relevant in our society today.

Even though digital is the main word in photography nowadays, there are still a number of photographers who see value in the traditional analog practices of photography, particularly in large-format photography.

 

Each photographer will give a 30-40 minute presentation of their work, followed by a short Q&A session. The afternoon will be spent with each photographer giving a hands-on demonstration of their working methods."

 

This seminar will feature presentations and demos by WI film-based fine-art photographers. Nick Olson, Dr. Yong-ran Zhu and Mark Brautigam will present on their experiences in large-format photography.
