Her beautiful, funny, and surreal retelling of this classic myth of love and loss focuses on the tender love between a father and a daughter, and takes the audience across the River of Forgetfulness into an Underworld complete with a chorus of petulant stones and a Lord of the Underworld who rules from the seat of his giant red tricycle.

DR. CATHERINE ROKICKY PRESENTS AT TRI-C WEST
Author to speak about Ohio Utopian Societies

Monday, November 23, 2009
Noon

Cuyahoga Community College
Western Campus, North Galleria
11000 Pleasant Valley Road in Parma

Dr. Catherine Rokicky, a Tri-C Associate Professor and the  author of Creating a Perfect World: Religious and Secular Utopias in Nineteenth-Century Ohio, will give a presentation at the Western Campus.

Dr. Rokicky, who teaches history at Tri-C, will talk about the early development of utopian societies here in Ohio.  The state’s location on the frontier of the nation was a magnet for several utopian movements, both religious and secular, including the United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Coming, or Shakers; the Society of Separatists at Zoar; the Mormons, who stopped in the state for several years on their way west; and several societies based on the philosophies of European social reformers Robert Owen and Charles Fourier.

Profiling these communities and exploring their ideals, Dr. Rokicky will examine the roles men and women play, their approaches to communal living and community property, economic activities, relations with surrounding communities and the state, and the various reasons for their success or failure.

Dr.  Rokicky teaches United States and Latin American history at Tri-C. She earned her Ph.D. from Kent State University and is the author of two books: James Monroe: Oberlin's Christian Statesman and Reformer, 1821-1898 (Kent State University Press, 2002) and Creating a Perfect World: Religious and Secular Utopias in Nineteenth-Century Ohio (Ohio University Press, 2002) which is part of the Ohio Bicentennial Series. She also earned the award for best dissertation in the state of Ohio from the Ohio Academy of History.

This event is free and open to the public and is sponsored by the Tri-C Western Campus Social Sciences Division.  Parking is available in designated visitor lots on each Tri-C campus for $1 for a two-hour time block, or a hangtag permit can be purchased for 75 cents.

Described by London's Classic FM Magazine as a "sensationally gifted" musician of "stunning artistry", Rustem Hayroudinoff graduated from the Moscow Conservatory, where he studied with Lev Naumov, and received his postgraduate degree (DipRAM) at the Royal Academy of Music in London with Christopher Elton.

Hayroudinoff has performed to great critical acclaim in Japan, his native Russia and Europe. In the UK he has appeared in major concert venues including St. John's Smith Square, the Barbican, the Queen Elizabeth Hall and the Wigmore Hall.  His recital in Chicago was televised and simultaneously broadcast live by over 300 radio stations across the United States.

Hayroudinoff has performed with the Sofia Philharmonic, the Osaka Century Orchestra, the Tokyo Symphony, and the BBC Philharmonic. In January 2007 he made his debut with the London Philharmonic in Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto, of which The Independent wrote: "The piano soloist was a sensationally gifted pianist from Russia Rustem Hayroudinoff. What a performance this was, demonstrating the emotional range of this wonderful work, full of mercurial brilliance, impassioned melody and breathtaking virtuosity." He also appeared in the documentary "The Unknown Shostakovich" alongside Vladimir Ashkenazy, Valery Gergiev and Maxim Shostakovich.

Hayroudinoff is a professor of piano at the Royal Academy of Music, where in February 2007 he was elected an Associate.
