Show The Park Record Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, February 5-8, 2005 C-3 Bodell advocates artist residencies • Continued from C-1 Bode 11 said she has been working in ihc medium since the [ale 80s, although only recently with llie photographs. Although for a while, between her obligations at work, and in the community as a city council person Tor Park City, she admitted that she didn't have much lime to make too much art. "It's been about l() or 15 years," said Bodell, since she first started, at the same lime noting lhal .she had been busy for a good part of the intervening time. But she noted that painting and artwork was now returning to her life more and more. "And it feels really good to get back into it," she said. In addition to the works she created in Zion, several of her works from Park City are also in the show. They use essentially the same process, but without the photo transfers. Those images show things that one could see and do around the town. "I like things thai tell a story," she said. Those works feature images of, skateboarders al the skate park, a cowboy on a horse, mountain bikers and scones from the street. But in the course of talking about her pieces Bodell eventually returned to her time in southern Utah this past fall. She is a biu advocate of the art residencies, she noted, because they allow a person to escape from all the distractions that would otherwise normally stifle them, and work on their art without distraction, focusing on the art, refining it. Her art residency, she said, was what allowed her to make the body of work she has and to create her process. And there are other benefits, she noted. "The collaboration you have with other artists in these •locations is incredible too," she said. For all of those reasons, Bodell is hoping to promote them with local aspiring artists and to try and get others to plan ahead and apply for them. In that way, she might help someone else capture their own theme or their image of beauty, focusing on their own fascination, like that of the seasons turning, and how they never quite to it completely evenly, but in fits and starts, occasionally interrupted, and how incredible those interruptions can be. "Peg Bodell: Seasons Interrupted" will be featured in the Kim ball Art Center's Main Gallery from Feb. 4 through March 6. Admission is free.

And Taylor noted that the "Big Band Night and Sweetheart Dance" wouldn't just raise money for the kids, but it would also provide them with a new sort of opportunity. "It makes a tremendous learning experience for the students," he said. "Physically, the kids have to learn how to pace themselves." He noted that normally the students only play 10-15 minute shows which are polished and honed over weeks at a time, but for the Big Band show, they had to prepare a far greater a mount of music and play for far longer. Beeause of that, the students have to learn how to play in a setting much like that of professional musicians. The night will start al 7 p.m. with light music from the high school chamber orchestra and a buffet-style dinner, said Taylor. 'ITiat will be followed by three 45 minute sets, some featuring vocals from the high school choir. Moffett said she is confident of the students' ability. "You go to their concerts and say, 'Are these really high school kids playing?'" she said. ""If you go out and share these talents, people are going to enjoy that," said Derek Kurch. the choir director at Park City High. "We want it to be an elegant, glitzy, classy night out." Beyond the fundraising purpose of the event, Moffett and Furch said its main motivation is to bring the students together with older members of the community whom the kids* might not be otherwise exposed to in a social setting. "The more the community knows that we produce great music, the more we can add to the community," said Moffelt. "Our target audience is a much older crowd than the high school is used to dealing with," said Furch. Furch and Taylor were both sure lo note that the "Big Band Night and Sweetheart Dance" is an event not a concert. In addition lo dinner, music and dancum, it will include door prizes ranging from hot air balloon rides, lo ski passes, to certificates for teeth whitening. And while those things might attract more people to the event, making it more successful, both the 'members of the high school music department and the parents seemed to end up focusing on the residual benefits for the students. "I'm a believer in kids learning from the old," said Moffett. She noted that she gained an appreciation for Big Band-style music as a child of a jazz musician going to an international school in post World War II Japan. Now, she said she wants to share that experience and that love of music with her kids., To that end she thinks the "Big Band Night Sweetheart Dance" can bring together the high school band members and their friends and a whole other generation of people, from whom the students can learn how to have fun, creating a cross generational connection and an annual way to renew that connection.
