SENSORIA 2014 • A celebration of the arts
April 4-12
Mission
This spring, CPCC invites you to attend our annual Sensoria celebration – a week of performances,
exhibits, speakers and events that explore art as the universal language and engage and entertain
individuals of all ages.
Join us April 4 - 12 to experience the best the literature, music, culture, visual arts, theatre, opera and
history communities have to offer. This year’s schedule features Joseph Bathanti, past N.C. Poet Laureate;
Richard Blanco, inaugural poet for President Obama’s second inauguration; Margalit Fox, author and writer for The New
York Times; CPCC Opera Theatre performances of “Don Giovanni;” as well as many others.
We hope you enjoy the broad spectrum of talent and programs our participating artists and scholars present during this
year’s celebration and hope you decide to bring a friend, family member or neighbor to our celebration.
This month, we invite you to open your senses to the many sights, sounds, tastes and feelings that define Sensoria. We
look forward to seeing you there!
Cordially,
Tony Zeiss
President, CPCC

Digital Film People
Digital Film People brings communications industry leaders
to CPCC for an evening of lively discussion and real-world
advice about the film industry in North Carolina and
beyond.

Overcash Lobby
This year’s event will address North Carolina’s Film
Incentive. This much talked about tax credit has been
addressed by many digital and traditional film groups,
authorities and politicians for the purpose of attracting
“major, in production titles” to North Carolina.
In addition to this topic Digital Film People will discuss the
“Studio Charlotte Initiative” launched by Bert Hesse. This
project dovetails directly into the incentive as an extremely
positive opportunity for all crew, producers, writers,
directors, suppliers and our tax payers to benefit from its
purpose to offer an amazing facility for the production of
longer format films right here in Charlotte.

What is Beauty?
2 – 3 p.m.
Tate Hall, Overcash
When the Obama administration selected 44-year-old
Richard Blanco to be inaugural poet in 2013, he was the
youngest person ever tapped for the honor. Blanco also
became the first Latino, the first immigrant and the first
openly gay man to address the nation on Inauguration
Day. On January 21, 2013, he read his original poem,
“One Today” as an honorary participant in the official
inaugural ceremony themed, “Faith in America’s Future,”
commemorating our nation’s perseverance. Still to this
day, Blanco is not sure how he got the assignment. But that
moment of reading his poem to the nation changed him in
ways he never imagined. It renewed Blanco’s faith in the
power of words and set in him a mission to connect the
American public to contemporary poetry.

Margalit Fox Reading/Discussion
Margalit Fox, an award-winning journalist trained as
a linguist, is a senior writer for the New York Times
specializing in the art of writing the obituary. Andrew
Ferguson of Commentary magazine states, “Margalit Fox
is an obituary writer, and the best writer all around, at
the New York Times.” She holds bachelor’s and master’s
degrees in linguistics from Stony Brook University and a
master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University.
Her previous book, “Talking Hands: What Sign Language
Reveals About the Mind,” which takes readers to an
isolated Middle Eastern village whose residents use a
sign language unlike any other in the world, has been
called “fascinating” by the Washington Post, “masterly
and accessible” by Nature, and “astonishing” by the
Associated Press. Her current book, “The Riddle of the
Labyrinth,” excavates and reveals the history of the
cracking of the ancient Minoan Linear B code.

FRIDAY, APRIL 11
Jazz Diva – Hiroshima
Hiroshima, a group whose music falls between R&B, pop,
world music, and jazz, has long had its own niche. The
band integrates traditional Japanese instruments into their
musical blend and has generally been both commercial and
creative within its genre. Hiroshima’s founding members are
keyboardist Dan Kuramoto (who also played shakuhachi),
June Okida Kuramoto on koto (a key part of the group’s
sound), Johnny Mori on taiko drums, and Danny Yamamoto
on drums, percussion and taiko. Other additions include
keyboardist Kimo Cornwell, bassist Dean Cortez, and singer
Teri Koide (who was later succeeded by Kimaya Seward).
Some of the musicians were descendants of Japanese
Americans held in U.S. detention camps during World
War II. Hiroshima has recorded a series of best-selling
albums for Arista, Epic and Qwest and, although they have
evolved over time, they have managed to not only retain but
increase their popularity.
