The artwork will be displayed in the lobby of the theatre building (TH-6).<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0exhibition began as an opportunity for the UCF Theatre and School of Visual Arts &amp;Design departments to work together. The exhibit will feature the works of advanced painting students in faculty member Carla Poindexter\u2019s class.<\/p>\n<p>The 24 pieces of art featured in \u201cThe Sideshow of <em>Side Show<\/em>\u201d exhibition are unique in subject and message. Some replicate the style of historical sideshow banners with dark humor and irony. Other paintings deal with historical versus contemporary issues\u00a0related to\u00a0ethics and exploitation of the\u00a0sideshow\/circus performers and their audiences.\u00a0Others are simply entertaining and\u00a0whimsical.<\/p>\n<p>Director Earl Weaver hopes the exhibit will help set the mood for theatre-goers. \u201cPatrons of the circus or side show are surrounded with visual stimuli that enhance their experience: the smell of the popcorn, the sound of the calliope, the brightly colored posters. We are hoping to re-create a piece of that experience for our patrons with this art exhibit.\u00a0From the time patrons enter our theatre building, we want them to have the full sideshow experience, all the way through the end of the show.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The resulting paintings and other artworks in the exhibition are visual responses to\u00a0Theatre UCF\u2019s lobby space; the actual props, costumes, and set designs in the upcoming play; and the content of the\u00a0script from both a historical perspective and contemporary perspectives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThroughout art history, visual artists have produced everything from set designs and costumes to hand bills for theatrical productions,\u201d said associate professor of art Carla Poindexter. \u201cThis project gave our advanced painting students an opportunity to learn how to collaborate with the theatre to create paintings and mixed media artworks that not only support the production but also stand alone as a compelling exhibition of accomplished individual pieces.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Early in the fall semester, the Theatre department presented the script and design inspirations to the advanced painting class. Scenic designer Joseph Rusnock reviewed the set inspiration and plans, costume designer Huaixaing Tan presented costume mock-ups, and Weaver talked about the script and Theatre UCF\u2019s specific production. Students then toured the theatre lobby, where the art will be displayed for further inspiration.<\/p>\n<p>The painting students also studied significant historical\u00a0paintings with sideshow-related themes,\u00a0including carnival-inspired works\u00a0of Pablo Picasso, Joan Miro,\u00a0Diego Rivera, and James Ensor.\u00a0Students also studied the carnival\u2019s \u201cgolden age\u201d of art\u00a0by sideshow banner painters, including the historical but little known works of Johnny Meak and Norman Lewis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith programs in digital media, architecture, film, and art all wrapped up into one school, the school of Visual Arts and Design is naturally a group that needs to collaborate\u201d says Paul Lartonoix, director of the School of Visual Arts and Design. \u00a0\u201cWhen the opportunity came up for SVAD to partner with Theatre on\u00a0<em>Side Show<\/em>, I thought it was an excellent idea\u2014a special situation where the students can craft their pieces around a theme of a theatrical production. It\u2019s a fun and exciting topic with lots of avenues to explore.\u00a0A focused topic forces the students to work within parameters and in this case, to work outside the normal \u2018client\u2019 experience.\u00a0It truly is very exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition is free, but tickets are required to see the musical. To purchase tickets or for ticket information call the box office at 407-823-1500. Standard tickets are $20 ($18 for seniors; $10 for students) and group rates are available. It is recommended to purchase tickets in advance, available through the Theatre UCF box office. UCF offers accommodations to make the theatre more accessible to patrons with disabilities; for assistance, call the box office in advance.<\/p>\n<p>Theatre UCF is on the UCF campus near the intersection of University Boulevard and Alafaya Trail in east Orlando. Performances begin at 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, and at 2 p.m. on Sundays.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Production <\/strong><strong>at a glance:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Side Show<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Book and lyrics by Bill Russell; Music by Henry Krieger<\/p>\n<p>Directed by Earl D.
