SUMMARY:The Trial of Spock—An Opera Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The creators of The Trial of Spock—An Opera In Three Acts present concert performances of five scenes from an opera-in-progress at the UC Santa Cruz Music Center Recital Hall.  \nCaptain Christopher Pike is gravely injured.

He refuses to say a word about their fate—not until his superiors agree to give him his trial. Under oath\, and with strange evidence\, Spock tells the story of Captain Pike’s first visit to Talos IV\, where illusion and artificial experiences plunge Pike and fellow captive Vina into uncharted dimensions of their memories\, and their concepts of self. \nJoin sopranos Nicole Koh\, Sheila Willey\, and Emily Sinclair; tenors Alex Boyer and Nicolas Vasquez-Gerst\, baritones Joseph Calzada and Michael Kuo\, and the Del Sol Quartet\, as they distort the myth of Orpheus\, in order to re-think our presumed relationships to freedom and reality\, and its augmentations. \nMusic by Ben Leeds Carson; libretto by Perre DiCarlo & Ben Leeds Carson and Lincoln & Lee Taiz; with contributions from John de Lancie\, based on teleplays by Gene Roddenberry. \n—\nADMISSION\n– FREE and open to the public\n– Tickets required and available online through Eventbrite\n– Follow the Music Dept on Eventbrite for notices and updates.\n– Doors are scheduled to open 30 minutes prior to event start time.\n– Ticket holders not seated at least 5 minutes before the advertised start time may forfeit their ticket/seat and no refund will be issued.\n—\nPARKING\n– Parking by permit\, ParkMobile\, or $11 cash/credit via the on-site parking attendant\n– Arts Lot #126 is the closest parking lot to the event\n– Visitors with DMV placards or plates may park for free in DMV spaces\, Medical spaces\, or ParkMobile spaces without additional payment\, or in timed zones for longer than the posted time.\n– UCSC affiliates must purchase their permits before arriving at the event in order to receive their discounted UCSC rate.

SUMMARY:"The Cigarette Surfboard" screening with filmmaker Ben Judkins (Kresge '17)
DESCRIPTION:Join Banana Slug alumni filmmaker Ben Judkins (Kresge ’17\, film and digital media) and “ciggy board” creator Taylor Lane for a screening of their award-winning documentary\, The Cigarette Surfboard (presented by the California Coastal Commission‘s Whale Tail Grant). \n5:00-6:00 PM | alumni meet & greet with light refreshments\n6:00-7:35 PM | film screening\n7:35-8:30 PM | filmmaker discussion\n8:30-9:00 PM | mingle \nREGISTER\nABOUT THE FILM\nAfter a young designer realizes that a surfboard – which he crafted from thousands of littered cigarette butts picked up off California beaches – could captivate the eyes of millions across the globe\, he decides to use it as the impetus to do something more. The Cigarette Surfboards become a platform to spark ocean stewardship and the symbol of a campaign to hold Big Tobacco accountable for their toxic\, plastic waste. Surfing is the medium\, but the message is universal. \nSmall decisions and actions\, like littering a cigarette butt\, cumulatively can have a large impact\, for better or for worse. This immersive documentary provides viewers an up close experience of the ocean through surfers’ eyes\, to amplify a message of urgency and possibility regarding the ocean’s wellbeing. As our ocean faces mounting threats\, and surfing continues to grow\, we as surfers have a responsibility to protect it. \nABOUT THE FILMMAKER\nRaised in Northern California\, at age eight\, Ben Judkins found an old camcorder and discovered the medium to explore and create. After years of videotaping friends skateboarding and surfing\, Ben landed at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, majoring in Film & Digital Media. His senior film “Marshall” earned the Dean’s Award\, and also won “Best Locally-Produced Work” at the 2017 Santa Cruz Film Festival. Ben is an avid surfer who believes in the power of visual storytelling to move people to action. The Cigarette Surfboard documentary is an opportunity to inspire a generation of surfers to be stewards of the sea.
