April 1500-April 2000
The dawn of the 21st century coincides with the
500th anniversary of the discovery of Brazil. To
mark these important junctures of history, the
ASU College of Fine Arts, with the support of
Dean J. Robert Wills, is proud to present to the
Arizona community the Brazilian Arts Festival.
Brazil is a multi-racial, multi-ethnic and multi-lingual society. The confluence
of these diversities has yielded not only a dynamic nation, but also a unique
and fascinating love of the arts and humanities. Indeed, Brazilian art in its
different forms reflects the various aspects of Brazilian life, building the
foundation for openness and creativity while celebrating Brazil's unique joy
of life, from the sounds and colors of samba, of carnivals, of Indian dances
and rituals, to the beat of African slaves' dances.
Throughout our weeklong Festival, we present artists, writers, art experts,
dancers, and musicians who reflect and represent the treasures of Brazil.
We hope that you will enjoy the various performances and events at the
ASU School of Music's Katzin Concert Hall, at the ASU Kerr Center Cultural
Center, and at the 132 Dance Theatre in PE East.

Internationally renowned pianist Caio Pagano, who is an Arizona Regents'
Professor of Music at ASU and a native of Brazil, will perform the world
premiere of Brazil Imagined, a new work by Kenneth LaFave that was
commissioned by the pianist. LaFave is a composer, as well as a traditional
arts writer for The Arizona Republic. Brazil Imagined is a three-minute piece
for solo piano "The title derives from the fact that I have never been to
Brazil, yet here I was writing a piece for inclusion in a program devoted to
that country's 500th anniversary," explains LaFave. "I recalled reading as a
schoolboy about the city of Brasilia and its modern architecture. At the
same time I remember seeing pictures of the jungle (we'd call it "rain
forest" now), with its wildness and native culture. This formed for me a
dualistic image of Brazil, which persists to this day. In the piece, I've set a
very modern-sounding, angular theme against a more lyrical one (fashioned
after a melody from the Harmonica Concerto of Brazilian composer Heitor
Villa-Lobos) and combined them in a closing little fugato section. It's a
bright, mostly upbeat piece, and technically a little flashy." Both Guia
Pratica and The Children's Carnival have been recorded by Dr. Pagano for
the German label, Glissando, and are being released worldwide
simultaneously with the Festival.

The program begins with a dance performance by the Brazilian modern
dance group, Companhia Paulista de Dan<;:a, with choreography by Patty
Brown and music by Andre Mehmari. The theme of the performance,
entitled SETE, revolves around seven texts from Brazilian writer Nelson
Rodrigues' dramatic literature. A distinction of the piece is its lack of words.
Instead, Brown's choreography borrows from the verbal violence of
Rodrigues' words and creates a ballet of impact, confrontation and torment.
The music written specifically for this adaptation and contributes as a
grandiose version of Rodrigues' written word.
The second performance features the Capoeiras of Bahia, a group that
presents the capoeira, the martial arts dance of Brazil. The company will
present a martial arts dance performance choreographed by Jelon Vieira.
Capoeira is a Brazilian art form of unique historical and cultural significance.
