An out of this world love story Whitney and Max live in their own, imaginary worlds. They are both patients in a clinical trial at Johns Hopkins Hospital experimenting with a new drug – a treatment that will cure them of their schizophrenic dreams and dissolve the worlds into which they retreat. With their memories progressively dwindling as the pills take effect, Whitney and Max agree to preserve each other’s creations by exchanging stories and recording the details of what they hear. As the act of sharing and the drugs’ effects replace dissociative fantasy with vivid emotion, the two stumble into mutual respect and sweetly fall in love. When the end of the study, and the continued obligation to medicate, puts both worlds and the relationship in further peril, Whitney and Max must decide whether to cling to the happiness they have built or abandon it in hopes of a “normal” life. “A fascinating exploration of what it takes to truly love another person. …WORLD BUILDERS is profoundly thoughtful, transformative storytelling at its finest.” —BroadwayWorld “The play calls us to reconsider the realities to which we subscribe and their role in shaping our self-conception. …WORLD BUILDERS reaches no neat conclusions, but offers in Max and Whitney the possibility that love and empathy may well be worth the risks they entail.” —Theasy.

THE EVEREST ENIGMA Everest has always loomed large in our collective imaginations as the perfect embodiment of what a mountain should be: beautiful, terrifying - and yet, irresistible. But who really was the first to answer its siren call? History tells us that Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay made the first ascent in May 1953, but there has always been a tantalizing possibility that British mountaineers George Leigh Mallory and Andrew “Sandy” Irvine may have beaten them to it. Mallory and Irvine were last seen on June 8, 1924, at 28,200 feet - just 800 feet shy of the summit - still going strong for the top. Could they have summited before they vanished into the clouds? The Everest Enigma is the tale of Mark Synnott’s quest to solve this 100-year-old mystery, a modern-day detective story that will take you from the archives of the RGS in London to high in the Death Zone, and then finally to the base of the North Face - where Sandy’s partial remains recently emerged from the ice. About Mark Mark Synnott is a New York Times best-selling author, a pioneering professional climber, a North Face athlete, and one of the most prolific explorers of his generation. His search for unclimbed and unexplored mountains has taken him on more than three dozen expeditions to places like Alaska, Baffin Island, Greenland, Iceland, Newfoundland, Patagonia, Guyana, Venezuela, Pakistan, Nepal, India, China, Tibet, Uzbekistan, Russia, Cameroon, Chad, Borneo, Oman and Pitcairn Island. In Yosemite, he has climbed El Capitan 24 times. In 2019, Mark summited Mount Everest via the Northeast Ridge, an adventure chronicled in his book The Third Pole: Mystery, Obsession and Death on Mount Everest. More recently, he sailed his 47-foot fiberglass-hulled sailboat Polar Sun through the Northwest Passage, an adventure chronicled in his fourth book, Into the Ice: The Northwest Passage, the Polar Sun, and a 175-year-old Mystery. Mark’s film and television credits include work for National Geographic Television, Disney, NBC Sports, ABC, Warren Miller Entertainment, Teton Gravity Research, and Red Bull. An accomplished journalist, he contributes regularly to National Geographic magazine, and is the author of the international bestseller, The Impossible Climb: Alex Honnold, El Capitan and the Climbing Life.

Khruangbin is a three-piece band from Houston, Texas, formed in 2009. The trio, with bassist Laura Lee Ochoa, drummer Donald “DJ” Johnson, Jr. and guitarist Mark “Marko” Speer, are known for their marriage of sounds from across the world – including what Vanity Fair calls “a mix of R&B, reggae, surf rock, Middle Eastern melodies, Persian phrasing, Latin rhythms, ’90s hip-hop, West African instrumentation, ethereal harmonies, psychedelic effects and rump-shaking disco.” In April 2024, they released A LA SALA, their fourth studio album and one of their most distilled and intimate works to date. The album sparked the band’s most ambitious touring cycle yet: multiple sold-out nights at iconic U.S. venues including Red Rocks, the Hollywood Bowl, Forest Hills Stadium, Berkeley’s Greek Theatre, and a landmark performance at London’s Gunnersbury Park this past August. In addition, they’ve graced festival stages around the world including Glastonbury, Primavera, Coachella, Bonnaroo, ACL, and many more. Even as their stages have grown larger, Khruangbin’s live shows remain deeply connective. This November, the band celebrates the 10th anniversary of their first record The Universe Smiles Upon You with a rare run of intimate U.S. club dates.

The figure may seem like a complex subject, and if taken at face value it is. There is too much information to navigate. but by analyzing, interpreting and simplifying our subject, the figure becomes much more manageable. In this class we will discuss how to capture motion with gesture drawing and how to navigate the landmarks of the figure to construct the body out of basic forms. Not only will this approach allow you to draw from the model, it will also teach you to draw the figure from imagination confidently. There is little value in rendering what we see without a knowledge of the underlying structure. In this class we won’t use sight-size drawing or optical tricks, but we will learn in a simplified way the same methods used by the French Academic artists of the 19th century. This approach is used by concept artists in the film and animation industries and illustrators to understand and eventually exaggerate their designs into characters. Classes will be held on Tuesdays.

Relief printing is one of the oldest methods of artistis reproduction. the process consists of carving a printing surface in such a way that all that remains of the original surface is the design to be printed. Come learn from awesome relief printmaker Jules Lucero at the ZACC! Classes will be held on Tuesdays.
