FEATURED PERFORMANCE
Sinergismo's See Not For Looking is inspired by dazzle camouflage, a WWI naval tactic where ships were painted not to hide from the enemy, but to disorient and confuse them. A haunting scenario is depicted through choreographed dance, original sound score, and spoken word while exploring how abstract, black and white paintings on panel can be used as costume and/or shield for characters. When their defenses are down, these characters reveal raw emotion encouraging the audience to consider what defense mechanisms they put into place in their own lives and the various personas we all employ.
Concept, Set Design & Construction by Jon Prichard. Choreography by Gretchen Jax. Choreography Assist by Alex Zsoldos. Music by Gene Bledsoe. Soundtrack by Dylan Gilbert. Poems & Song Lyrics by Brittney Prichard. Featuring performances by Alex Zsoldos, Gretchen Jax ,Brittney Prichard, Jonathan Prichard, Allison Paksoy Hughes, Jacki McCarthy and Jordan Kwanvig. Go to Sinergismo for more info.
OPENING ACT
THE PROFESSOR is rich, handsome, and knows how to talk anyone into doing just about anything. When THE PROFESSOR can't get a teacher to give him a better grade, THE PROFESSOR and his friend A LECTURE ON MARKETING match him up with another teacher to make THE PROFESSOR happier. When a girl named THE AUDIENCE transfers to THE PROFESSOR's school, THE AUDIENCE and THE PROFESSOR give her a makeover and attempt to find her A DELIGHTFUL PERFORMANCE. THE PROFESSOR soon realizes that he wants A DELIGHTFUL PERFORMANCE all to himself, but no one seems right. THE PROFESSOR, with the help of THE AUDIENCE soon realizes that there is more to life, before THE PROFESSOR finds A DELIGHTFUL PERFORMANCE of his dreams.
Performed by: Nathan Matthews

Guerrilla Filmmaking | Pete Stone
Everything You Need to Learn about How to Learn About Making Your Own Films
One hour is not nearly enough time to learn—or even properly focus on—one skill about filmmaking, so we’re going to focus on every skill you need to know.
In one hour we’ll cover:
- Writing – Getting your story on the page with action.
- Preproduction – Getting actors, location, legal paperwork, and equipment figured out.
- Production – What’s important and what’s not.
- Post Production – Editing.
- Marketing – Sharing your work.
With so many resources available online today, the challenge isn’t having access to information, but rather knowing what to ignore. Therefore, in one hour we’ll give you an overview of the most important concepts to help guide you on where to focus your time as you prepare for your production. The tools shared will help ensure you get out of planning stage and into the production stage.
BIO
Pete Stone has been doing independent production for over a decade. He has produced shows for various cable stations, makes really great Belgium Waffles, and has a Master of Fine Arts degree in Screenwriting from Grady College of Journalism at the University of Georgia. His films have screened in multiple film festivals and on South Carolina ETV. He is currently preparing to self-produce and direct a feature length version of his short-film Voyage of the Swamp Fox after it gained popular attention from key investors.

Cleaning Up Your Compositions | Carson Carroll
This workshop will teach basic composition rules to help participants go from blindly shooting pictures to creating interesting and compelling images. Along with learning effective ways to compose images, students will be able to experiment with their new knowledge and cameras in the surrounding area. Then at the end of the workshop participants will reconvene to share and discuss the images they created during experimentation time.
Bring some sort of digital device that has a camera—it can be a phone or digital camera of any kind.
[Cost for this seminar covers printing for hand-outs about composition rules/tips & poster/mat-board cut-out to help with composing.]
Carson Carroll is a senior Fine Arts major at Winthrop University with a concentration in photography. She first became interested in taking images while running around her uncle’s photography studio when she was younger and that love for the lens has only grown since then. She has experimented with all sorts of subject matter in the beginning stages of her creative career, ranging from still-lifes in the studio, landscapes in New Zealand, and portraits of the people close to her. While shooting portraits is her favorite, she has learned key components of creating compositions that have helped her take a successful image no matter the subject. When is she is not spending time in Rock Hill she is back home in Charleston, South Carolina spending time with her dog and big family.

Celebrate the close of our 3rd Annual Art Party with poetry, food and music! Join us in the Courtroom at Gettys as we reflect on cultures coming together in what promises to satisfy culinary, intellectual and musical appetites.
Enjoy a reading of selected works by celebrated poet Susan Ludvigson, followed by the music of Kelly Jo Ramirez and Matt Dingledine of Phat Lip, with a combination of Latin rhythms and pop harmonies.
Gil Gonzalez and Jeff Cozzens with El Cancun are innovators in Rock Hill's burgeoning culinary scene, partnering recently with Rock Hill Brewing Co. for a weekly themed taco feature. They're bringing a sumptuous family-style dinner that fuses traditional family recipes from Mexico with local Carolina ingredients and flavors. The meal will include a ceviche appetizer, smoked chicken with a Southern-infused mole sauce, spiced-tamarind candy pecan pie, and more!
Cash bar (first drink included with ticket).
FEATURING:
Susan Ludvigson
POET
Susan Ludvigson is professor emeritus of English at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, South Carolina. She is the author of ten collections of poetry; her books include Northern Lights (1981), The Swimmer (1982), The Beautiful Noon of No Shadow (1986), To Find the Gold (1990), Everything Winged Must Be Dreaming (1993), Trinity (1996), Sweet Confluence: New and Selected Poems (2000), and Escaping the House of Certainty (2006).
Ludvigson’s poetry attends to family, faith, landscapes, and the arts. Reviewing The Beautiful Moon of No Shadow for Poetry, Alice Fulton noted, “Ludvigson reveals emotional treasons and treasures by recording rather than transforming reality.… Like a cinema verité director, Ludvigson observes and participates in the poems.” Escaping the House of Certainty includes formally innovative poems that incorporate prose, recipes, and fluid, broken lines.
Ludvigson has received a Fulbright Fellowship to Yugoslavia and awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Guggenheim Foundation.
