We have secured a number of sponsorships, including monies from CSUN for student per diems, to make this trip to Scotland a reality. Recently I had the occasion to speak with Senator James Benedetto about an idea to provide these nineteen UNLV students with some Rebel Wear to "advertise" the University's presence in Edinburgh, Scotland. Senator Benedetto and I talked about a Rebel sweatshirt and medium to heavy jacket (Scotland in August is considerably cooler than Las Vegas) which would cost approximately $105 per student. I will be speaking with Sally Olson, Manager of Rebel Wear at the Thomas and Mack Center, next week about a possible discount for the students. At this time I would like to ask CSUN to consider a grant in the amount of $2000 to purchase UNLV Rebel Wear (sweatshirt and jacket) for the nineteen College of Fine Arts students who are performing in the Edinburgh Festival this August. Accompanying this letter you should find some attachments regarding the names of the College of Fine Arts students going to Edinburgh as well as a description of the Edinburgh Festival Project, demographics, etc. If you have any questions about this request, please do not hesitate to call me. Sincerely, Associate Dean College of Fine Arts Office of the Dean 4505 Maryland Parkway • Box 455013 • Las Vegas, Nevada 89154-5013 (702) 895-4210 COLLEGE OF FINE ARTS, UNLV Edinburgh Festival Project Departure from Las Vegas to New York via National Airlines: Tuesday, July 20: Joe Aldridge Monday, July 26: Gail Lehtinen, Tye Brown, Peter Clark, Jeanette Farr, Scott Johnson, Mark Kenneally, Robert Knight, Evelina Marchetti, Jill Michaels, Steven Reyes, Georgia Richardson, Barbara Rollins Monday, August 2: Robert Tracy, Louis Kavouras, Jessica Kroft, Dee Ann Nelson, Danielle Scarafiotti, Tara Phillips Tuesday, August 3: Rocky Winslow, Kym Purling, Jon Cornell, Robert Stone Note: Jakuba Griffin will be in Paris and will need ticket from Paris to Edinburgh on Tuesday, August 3 Returning to Las Vegas from either New York or Chicago via National Airlines: Wednesday, September 1: Joe Aldridge Tuesday, August 17: Rocky Winslow, Kym Purling, Jon Cornell, Jakuba Griffin, Robert Stone Tuesday, August 31: Robert Tracy, Louis Kavouras, Jessica Kroft, Dee Ann Nelson, Danielle Scarafiotti, Tara Phillips, Gail Lehtinen, Tye Brown, Peter Clark, Jeanette Farr, Scott Johnson, Mark Kenneally, Robert Knight, Evelina Marchetti, Jill Michaels, Steven Reyes, Georgia Richardson, Barbara Rollins PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1999 EDINBURGH FESTIVAL FRINGE: In August of 1999, the 51st Edinburgh Festival Fringe will begin. Performance troupes from all over the world will participate in what has become a significant and substantial international event. In 1998, a total of 14, 297 performances took place in over 175 venues in Edinburgh, Scotland. Groups from Scotland, England, Europe, China, the Middle East, Africa, the United States, and the former USSR performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The College of Fine Arts, University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), is hoping to send approximately 19 students and 5 faculty to participate in the 1999 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Students from the Departments of Art, Dance, Music, and Theatre will exhibit and perform in a venue leased from Frantic Redhead Productions, a Los Angeles based production company which has been participating in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe since 1983. In 1998, Frantic Redhead Productions won a "Fringe First", a most prestigious award given to only fifteen productions each year. UNLV's College of Fine Arts would like to capitalize on this recognition by beginning a tradition of participation at the Fringe this August, 1999. This participation would afford UNLV's College of Fine Arts students the opportunity to perform and showcase their outstanding talent and to attend theatrical productions in such quantity and of such quality that is not available in any other single location in the world. Our students will be afforded the opportunity to be seen by thousands of international dance, music, and theatre goers. In addition, the student's performances would be reviewed and critiqued by international dance, music, and theatre critics. And while these students would be in Edinburgh, apart from rehearsal and performance schedules, they would have the opportunity to interact with their peers from around the world. A Las Vegas theme exhibition, featuring recent work by Department of Art undergraduate and graduate students, will be installed in the leased venue's cabaret. The College of Fine Arts is beginning small, sending only students in dance, music, and theatre and the exhibition, to the Fringe. The College of Fine Arts expectation is that the program will grow to around thirty students from all of the six academic units of the College of Fine Arts for participation (i.e., Architecture, Art, Dance, Film, Music, and Theatre). This project is in total alignment with the College of Fine Arts goal to "increase research, scholarly activity, and national recognition" for students and faculty alike by extending the reach of the classroom to the international arena. The significance of this project lies in the tremendous scope of the Festival Fringe. Providing opportunities for both graduate and undergraduate students to explore and showcase talents in art dance, music, and theatre in an international venue is difficult at best. Those participating students from UNLV will be working with professional actors from both the U.S. and from Scotland, as well as with Scottish and European-based college students. The educational and artistic opportunities are enormous and will grow exponentially with the College's continued participation in the years to come. Research activity preparing for the experience will be beneficial to the growth of each participating student (and faculty for that matter). As we begin this activity, the College of Fine Arts, UNLV will gain increased national and international recognition. And the geographic and experiential boundaries of the classroom will be extended far beyond the borders of Las Vegas, Nevada. TIME LINE: February-March, 1999: Choose and develop scripts, musical scores, etc. for production at the Fringe by the Departments of Dance, Music, and Theatre Visit Edinburgh to finalize arrangements for venue Secure housing for students and faculty from College of Fine Arts, UNLV Identify visual artists for Las Vegas theme exhibition in the leased venue's cabaret April-May, 1999: Begin the casting of plays and dance performances Select art work for Las Vegas theme exhibition June-July, 1999: Rehearse Perform before National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (Convention of some 3000 at Las Vegas) Leave for Edinburgh, Scotland August, 1999: Perform at Edinburgh Festival Fringe Supplementary Agenda Senate Meeting 29-26 12 July 1999 Action Item: Discussion/Approval of Senate Bill 29-22 as submitted by SENATOR M.
