We hope to change that with this show! James Cotton, who made his recording debut for Sun Records in 1953, is a harmonica legend and Little Walter’s peer in every sense. When Little Walter was inducted into the Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame, James Cotton paid tribute – he’ll do the same for us here in Louisiana, with his world-class band in tow. There’ll be a few surprise guests to boot. DE TEMPS ANTAN, CEDRIC WATSON,

The connections between the traditional music of Francophone Canada and Louisiana are undeniable but largely unexplored. This show will take us on that journey, led by world-class performers on both sides of the line. De Temps Antan are at the pinnacle of Quebecois music, featuring virtuoso fiddler André Brunet, along with stellar guitarist and musical scholar Eric Beaudry and master accordionist Pierre-Luc DuPuis. They will collabo-rate with top Louisiana artists David Greely, Anna Laura Edmiston and Cedric Watson. ZIGABOO MODELISTE,

KING OF THE FUNKY DRUMS

Thurs May 10, 2012 @ 8:00 PM, AcA’s James Devin Moncus TheaterIndividual Tickets: $19, $23, $27

If you haven’t heard Zigaboo’s incredibly tight and genre-defining drumming on the original recordings of The Meters, or the pivotal Wild Tchoupitoulas recordings of the 1970s, you’ve undoubtedly heard one of the countless times he’s been sampled during the last several decades. A first generation creator of Louisiana funk, Zigaboo has worked with The Rolling Stones and countless others. This show, featuring his hard-grooving seven-piece band, will be the perfect high-energy closer to the season.

Thurs January 12 & Fri 13, 2012 @ 8:00 PM, AcA’s James Devin Moncus TheaterIndividual Tickets: $19, $23, $27

This solo acoustic show will feature collaboration with some of the musicians featured in Treme, including Joel Savoy and Linzay Young, along with friend Dirk Powell.

From Bible belt to Iron Curtain, the movies featured in this year’s Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Film-makers will transport viewers into new worlds with dance sensationals, animated weekends and heartbreaking coming-of-age stories that span the globe. The Acadiana Center for the Arts brings these extraordinary dramas and documentaries to downtown Lafayette alongside their equally extraordinary filmmakers for viewing, discussion and enjoyment of the cinematic arts.

Southern Circuit is the nation’s only regional tour of independent filmmakers, providing communities with an inter-active way of experiencing independent film. The tour takes the audience away from their televisions, DVD players and computers to connect them with independent filmmakers and encourage them to talk with one another about the films and their meanings. Southern Circuit transforms watching independent films from a solitary experience into a communal one.

Following the screening of each feature film, the filmmaker and the audience will engage in a discussion about the film and their work as filmmakers.

Tickets are $6 each. AcA

membership discount is $1 per

ticket. Season tickets are $24.

Paige Krause presents

I’VE STOPPED HAVING THATDREAM I’VE BEEN HAVINGFri Nov 11 @ 8 PMSat Nov 12 @ 8 PMTickets: $12/$10 for students & AcA members Following her year-long creative exploration in the James Devin Moncus Theater, artist-in-residence Paige Krause and her collec-tive, (C)ollaborate 78, premiere a bold new work entitled I’ve Stopped Having That Dream I’ve Been Having. A dance/music/installa-tion piece that incorporates the sincerity of humanistic connections, Krause creates a unique performance by investigating and introducing her own voice within the modern dance genre. Four performers challenge the line between reality and fantasy while interpreting and unfolding the complex inter-actions of relationships between individuality and uniformity. This exciting and inventive per-formance uses the flexibility of the theater to transform the space into a live installation, performed to an original and live score from composer Philippe Landry.

Prospect Lafayette NOV 12TH - JANUARY 21STThe most exciting development for Acadiana’s visual arts scene is the selection of AcA as a satellite location of Prospect.2 New Orleans. Prospect.2 is one of the most highly anticipated contemporary arts events in the United States.

This exhibition is coordinated with the opening and closing of Prospect.2, the most significant international arts bi-annual in North America, for which it will comprise both an annex and a historical overview. Prospect Lafayette will feature works by Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson as well as Bruce Davenport, Jr., Dawn Dedeaux and significant works originally shown in Prospect.1 and Prospect.1.5.

AcA is proud to partner with Prospect.2 and would like to thank Prospect curator Dan Cameron for assembling this exhibition.

AcA’s four visual arts spaces are comprised of a 6,000 sqft Main Gallery, a Side Gallery, the open Mallia Galleria and an intimate Vault space.

AcA curator Brian Guidry masterfully installs major exhibits bi-monthly, with monthly rotations in the smaller spaces for an average of 30+ annual exhibits of the highest artistic caliber.

With monthly Second Saturday ArtWalks drawing a diverse audience by the thousands, Visual Arts are @ the Center of our community.

Everyday Frontier: A workshop on poetic and urban exploration with John Michael OliverEveryday Frontier is a workshop for adults, investigating urban exploration through foot-travel in Lafayette. Participants will map their environment through visual media, diagramming and modeling, as they create their own adaptive and responsive paths through the existing fabric of the city.

Paths exist in many forms. They are built in a variety ways: a continuous line, a series of nodes, a happening of situations. Lafayette’s woven fabric of infrastructures, residences and culture layer to create opportunity for path finding. The hole in a fence, a slope into a patch of trees, a drainage

canal or a well-lit area might link together to give passage through the city.Participants will learn to notice and respond to these existing conditions with many forms of media (drawing, photography, modeling, video…etc.)

Is the act of discovery the act of creation? The existence of leftover space is a normal occurrence over time in the development of a city. These places are simple and have no hand of design other then the indirect result of their surroundings, though at times these places become serendipitous discover-ies. The appearance of these places are temporal, you might discover them because of the time of day or the weather conditions
