Acting instructor Shannon Penrod-Miller ’84 and director Kevin Kennison ’82 share some performance movement tips with Heather Ungerer, 14, during Summerfame on the Oswego campus. High school students from around the country came to campus July 18 to 30 for the two-week institute in musical theatre. “I got so much out of [the theatre] program that of course I want to give back to it,” said Kennison, an independent casting director based in New York City and interim head of the BFA program in acting at Brooklyn College. “It’s not a camp, but a pre-college training program,” he said, since the program gives students a very realistic view of the foundation of skills and learning they will need to succeed in musical theatre. Calling the program “important for Oswego and the next generation of artists,” he said that Summerfame gives Oswego the opportunity to attract strong students who will come to campus to see what the college has to offer. Planning is already under way for a summer 2011 version of the program, he added.

Jakari Sherman, right, artistic director for the Step Afrika! troupe directs his audience recruits in introductory moves and shouts for stepping, an energetic dance form the Washington, D.C.-based performers put on display in a rousing free show Aug. 30 in the Campus Center arena for more than 1,000 students, faculty, staff and community members. The group introduces people around the globe to step — developed in the early 20th century by African American fraternities and sororities — and the evening featured plenty of audience participation. Step Afrika! presented intricate, pulse-pounding routines of claps, shouts, stomps and athletic leaps. The troupe paid tribute to South African roots with a “gum boot” dance such as miners use for solidarity and entertainment, and another in Zulu tribal garb to the beat of African drums.

Students flock around poet/musician Oveous Maximus, right, for pictures and autographs in Hewitt Union Ballroom during the 2010 ALANA (African, Latino, Asian, Native American) Conference. Maximus, a rapid-fire spoken-word poet, was the keynote speaker for the weeklong conference. “This was amazing,” Quindell Williams ’11 said. “The spoken word, it’s something different, something close to home and close to our age. I thought it was great.” ALANA, now in its 24th year, has become a staple in promoting a multicultural environment at SUNY Oswego and is a consistent hit among students, faculty and administrators.
