Arts series offers most recent trends
By VIRGINIA McGRATH
Staff writer
A new performing arts series that will bring the latest forms of pantomime, comedy, film and music to the University of Kansas begins this weekend at Crafton-Preyer Theatre.
The Alchemedians, two performers who perform vaudéville-style material with a new twist, will kick off the week with a performance at 8 p.m. Sunday.
Bob Berky and Michael Moschen are the Alchemedians, a team established in 1983. They will perform pantomime, comedy and "New Vaudeville," a popular new movement in American theater.
The performance is one of three scheduled as part of the School of Fine Arts' New Directions Series.
In their two-part performance, Berky and Mosch work with inanimate objects that talk, jump and dance. In the performance performers juggle, dance, and clown.
Jackie Davis, director of the University Concert Series and of the New Directions Series, said that when she became director of the Concert Series in 1979, she wanted to bring new events to KU that would be appealing but also address educational needs.

"Depending on what their prior experience is, students can be hest- at to attend these things," she said. "If you are interested in and enjoyable to students."
The second show in the New Direction Series, to be presented Nov. 10 at Hoch Auditorium, is called the Koyanaisqatsi Live / Philip Glass Ensemble. The word Koyanaisqatsi is taken from a Hopi Indian word meaning "life out of balance," Davis said.
The show presents film images of the American landscape, accompanied by live music performed by the Philip Glass Ensemble, and expresses disdain for such man-made creations as assembly lines, traffic tie-ups and war.
The third performance in the series will be by Nexus, a Canadian percussion ensemble. The ensemble will perform March 2 at Liberty Hall.
Financing for the programs is provided by the Kansas Arts Commission, the National Endowment for the Arts and Mid-America Arts Alliance, and the KU student activity fee, Swarthout Society and the Kansas University Endowment Association.
Tickets to Sunday's show are avail able at Murphy Hall Box Office.
