Sunny Days and Night Tree image
Sunny Days and Night Tree | Sensory Friendly Virtual Performance

The Clemens Center and John G. Ullman & Associates Foundation, Inc.
2021-2022 Family Connex Series presents
SUNNY DAYS and NIGHT TREE
Sensory Friendly Virtual Performance

Available for Streaming Monday, November 1 – Sunday, November 21, 2021

 

A MAGICAL TWO-PART FILM

SUNNY DAYS:

Feel, hear & smell the world around you. Roll in the long grass, scrunch it beneath your fingers & take a long deep breath. Sunny Days encapsulates the magic of being free, of moving with abandon, and playing in the outdoors. A dance film for little explorers.

NIGHT TREE:

Every year, in the middle of winter, we go into the forest to find our tree. Our special tree. We bundle up so we’re warm, with hats, gloves, shoes and coats. We travel through the trees. Among the leaves and muddy puddles. Listening to the birds sing. And watching for animals.
Come into the woods and dance as we go on a gentle, sensory journey through the beautiful wintery forest to find a very special tree…Squelch through mud, sip hot chocolate, and play amongst the pines! Night Tree is a magical two-part film based on Eve Bunting’s book of the same name.
The films are available with or without audio description and creative captions.

A note about Creative Captions
The company has worked with The Johnny Luu to animate and illustrate the narration of the films for young D/deaf audiences or anyone who enjoys reading and singing along!

Based on NIGHT TREE by Eve Bunting, illustrated by Ted Rand. Text copyright © 1991 by Eve Bunting. Adapted by permission of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company. All rights reserved.

Rodgers & Hammerstein’s OKLAHOMA!

Clemens Center presents

Rodgers & Hammerstein’s OKLAHOMA!

Saturday, November 6, 2021 at 7:30pm*

This is OKLAHOMA! as you’ve never seen or heard it before—reimagined for the 21st century and the Tony Award Winner for Best Revival of a Musical.

Direct from an acclaimed run on Broadway comes an OKLAHOMA! that looks and sounds like America today. The Daily Beast raves “Forget your traditional idea of Oklahoma! Daniel Fish’s daring, utterly absorbing re-interpretation is different—brilliantly so.”

OKLAHOMA! tells a story of a community banding together against an outsider, and the frontier life that shaped America. Upending the sunny romance of a farmer and a cowpoke, this production lets us experience Rodgers and Hammerstein’s greatness anew.” (The New Yorker). Without changing a word of text, this visionary production allows the classic musical – and our country – to be seen in a whole new light.

Funny and sexy, provocative and probing, “A smashing Oklahoma! is reborn. Daniel Fish’s wide-awake, altogether wonderful production is thrilling!” (The New York Times).

“This is the OKLAHOMA! that was there all along.” (New York Magazine).

 

Age Recommendation: OKLAHOMA! is recommended for ages 12+.

Audience Advisory: OKLAHOMA! contains fog, loud gunshot effects, moments of total darkness and violence.

Show Length: OKLAHOMA! runs 2 hours 45 minutes including one intermission.

Sizzling Glass Science with Nick Uhas | Live Stream Demonstration

TikTok star and host of Netflix’s Blown Away, Nick Uhas, teams up with The Corning Museum of Glass to present a special demonstration geared towards the weird and wonderful things glass can do. A science influencer, Nick combines his formal science education with his insatiable curiosity to create “pop science” content that he shares with his 700K YouTube subscribers and 7.3 million TikTok followers. Nick has also presented mind-blowing science experiments on the Today ShowAmerica’s Got Talent, and other national stages.

Nick got a crash course in glass when he became host of Blown Away in 2019. While he leaves the glass art to the makers on Blown Away, Nick has become intrigued by the science behind glassmaking. Some of the glass experiments he’s conducted with the Museum are accessible on his YouTube channel.

During this live science-focused demonstration, Nick will work with the Hot Glass Demo Team to explore unique properties of glass that make it such a versatile material in our lives. It can be both strong and weak. It can be stretched finer than a human hair and carry information around the world. It can break in purposeful—yet dramatic—ways. Join Nick as he and our glassmakers explore the surprising science behind glass.

A 30-minute meet ’n’ greet at the West Bridge by the Blown Away Season 2 exhibition will follow the demonstration.

Doktor Kaboom! and The Wheel of Science | Virtual Event

A Clemens Center Mary Tripp Marks School-Time Series production
presented by Shaw Entertainment 

DOKTOR KABOOM! AND THE WHEEL OF SCIENCE

Available for Streaming Monday, November 8 – Sunday, November 21, 2021

 

So much science, so little time. . .

Doktor Kaboom is having trouble picking his favorite science demonstrations, so he’s bringing them all! Unfortunately, there are way too many to do them all in one show.

The solution: The Wheel of Science!

Doktor Kaboom has built a great big spinning wheel and labeled it with everything from optical illusions to chemical reactions to a homemade hovercraft, and more! At least a dozen fantastic demonstrations ready to go. Wherever the wheel stops, that’s what’s next!

Will we turn a water bottle into a rocket or catapult bananas across the stage? Electrocute a pickle or create artificial gravity? Who knows? No two shows will be the same.

So, step right up, and let’s spin that wheel!

Curriculum Ties: Earth and Space Science, Physical Science, Theatre, Health

Recommended for Grades 3 – 6

Christkindl Market

Granger Homestead has held the Canandaigua Christkindl Market on our beautiful, historic grounds for 14 years. Covid-19 forced us to cancel our 15th Market but we are pleased to announce that we are cautiously optimistic to have it this year on Friday, Saturday & Sunday –  November 12, 13 & 14.

Our volunteer-run, juried, holiday craft show has been successful in the past, drawing vendors and shoppers from miles around. No one can say at this time what the fall will bring, however, we do know that COVID related regulations must direct our decisions. If we are able to proceed, the size, set up and logistics may be different than in past years. We will keep you posted.

Holiday Feast made out of glass
Glass Holiday Feast

Stop in to see a festive holiday meal inspired by the warmth and kinship shared at tables throughout the holiday season.

Created by the Hot Glass Demo team, the holiday feast features meal staples like turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, and green beans. Each year the feast grows as gaffers create and bring their favorite dishes to the table.

wood, thread, ceramics
Elaine K. Ng | Rockwell Collaborative Guest Artist

Building on a tradition of collaboration, The Rockwell Museum and Corning Museum of Glass are pleased to once again team up to host an emerging contemporary artist in Corning.

This year we welcome multidisciplinary artist Elaine K. Ng, who currently has two special installations on view at The Rockwell, including a site-specific installation as part of the ongoing Antigravity Project. This annual commission is coupled with a three-day guest appearance in the Corning Museum of Glass Amphitheater Hot Shop where she’ll work collaboratively with the gaffers to experiment and realize her designs in glass.

Elaine K. Ng's site-specific installation is now in place in The Rockwell’s rotunda entryway as a response to the architecture of that historic building. Ng’s Antigravity Project will be on view through February of 2022. The successful installation led to a continued partnership with Ng, and is now paired with a debut exhibition entitled Fingerprints of Place – Taiwan, on view through January 23. Both exhibitions explore human relationships to place through multimedia artworks, using materials like brick, concrete, wood, tile, thread and found objects unique to place, like crumpled receipts and native seed pods.

“Taiwan is my mother’s homeland, and my relationship with it is an evolving one. As a child, it was a parallel universe where there existed Asian equivalents of my Western upbringing, and as a teenager it felt like an amusement park we visited as tourists. In adulthood, the island has become a place where I can comfortably blend in as part of the majority culture, something impossible for me in the U.S. And yet, I am keenly aware that I do not belong there either. I am a ‘quasi-foreigner’ in Taiwan: I look like a local, but I am not; I speak Chinese, but have an accent that reveals my nationality. People are often unsure of how to interact with me, and I with them.

 

“At the root of these investigations are questions about origin and belonging – what, or who, belongs where, and who decides? Materials and objects carry stories that reveal our relationships to place through both personal experiences and collective knowledge – they reflect the complex and dynamic nature of how humans shape and are shaped by place.” 
-Elaine K. Ng

See Elaine K. Ng in the Amphitheater Hot Shop November 15–17, 10 am–4 pm.

Please note that the artist and gaffers will take lunch breaks each day, so times may vary.

Both exhibitions explore human relationships to place through multimedia artworks, using materials like brick, concrete, wood, tile, thread and found objects unique to place, like crumpled receipts and native seed pods.

“Taiwan is my mother’s homeland, and my relationship with it is an evolving one. As a child, it was a parallel universe where there existed Asian equivalents of my Western upbringing, and as a teenager it felt like an amusement park we visited as tourists. In adulthood, the island has become a place where I can comfortably blend in as part of the majority culture, something impossible for me in the U.S. And yet, I am keenly aware that I do not belong there either. I am a ‘quasi-foreigner’ in Taiwan: I look like a local, but I am not; I speak Chinese, but have an accent that reveals my nationality. People are often unsure of how to interact with me, and I with them.

 

“At the root of these investigations are questions about origin and belonging – what, or who, belongs where, and who decides? Materials and objects carry stories that reveal our relationships to place through both personal experiences and collective knowledge – they reflect the complex and dynamic nature of how humans shape and are shaped by place.” 
-Elaine K. Ng

See Elaine K. Ng in the Amphitheater Hot Shop November 15–17, 10 am–4 pm.

Please note that the artist and gaffers will take lunch breaks each day, so times may vary.

Doktor Kaboom! and The Wheel of Science | Virtual Event

A Clemens Center Mary Tripp Marks School-Time Series production
presented by Shaw Entertainment 

DOKTOR KABOOM! AND THE WHEEL OF SCIENCE

Available for Streaming Monday, November 8 – Sunday, November 21, 2021

 

So much science, so little time. . .

Doktor Kaboom is having trouble picking his favorite science demonstrations, so he’s bringing them all! Unfortunately, there are way too many to do them all in one show.

The solution: The Wheel of Science!

Doktor Kaboom has built a great big spinning wheel and labeled it with everything from optical illusions to chemical reactions to a homemade hovercraft, and more! At least a dozen fantastic demonstrations ready to go. Wherever the wheel stops, that’s what’s next!

Will we turn a water bottle into a rocket or catapult bananas across the stage? Electrocute a pickle or create artificial gravity? Who knows? No two shows will be the same.

So, step right up, and let’s spin that wheel!

Curriculum Ties: Earth and Space Science, Physical Science, Theatre, Health

Recommended for Grades 3 – 6

Show Length: 60 minutes

Elaine K. Ng | Rockwell Collaborative Guest Artist

Building on a tradition of collaboration, The Rockwell Museum and Corning Museum of Glass are pleased to once again team up to host an emerging contemporary artist in Corning.

This year we welcome multidisciplinary artist Elaine K. Ng, who currently has two special installations on view at The Rockwell, including a site-specific installation as part of the ongoing Antigravity Project. This annual commission is coupled with a three-day guest appearance in the Corning Museum of Glass Amphitheater Hot Shop where she’ll work collaboratively with the gaffers to experiment and realize her designs in glass.

Elaine K. Ng's site-specific installation is now in place in The Rockwell’s rotunda entryway as a response to the architecture of that historic building. Ng’s Antigravity Project will be on view through February of 2022. The successful installation led to a continued partnership with Ng, and is now paired with a debut exhibition entitled Fingerprints of Place – Taiwan, on view through January 23.

Connected by Glass: Rakow Commission Unveiling

In this virtual event, the prestigious 2021 Rakow Commission will be unveiled for the first time. Hear from the artist about their practice and the commissioned work, then watch the premiere of a short documentary video about the creation of the 2021 Rakow Commission.  

The Museum's annual Rakow Commission supports the development of new works of art in glass, and was established through the  generosity of the late Dr. and Mrs. Leonard S. Rakow, who were Museum Fellows, friends, and benefactors of the Museum. The program provides $25,000 for the selected recipient artist each year, and the commissioned work enters the Museum's permanent collection.

The Rakow Commission encourages artists working in glass to venture into new areas that they might otherwise be unable to explore because of financial limitations. Since 1989, recipients have ranged from emerging to established artists.  

Bring your questions for a Q&A with the artist.  

The event is free, and registration is required.

Holiday Ornament Tree

In 2008, the first annual Holiday Ornament Tree showcased more than 600 ornaments handmade by our Hot Glass Show staff. The tree was eight feet tall and four feet in diameter at the bottom. The next year, the tree grew to 14 feet tall, with more than 2,000 glass ornaments made by Museum glassmakers.

The Museum's glittering ornament tree has now become a holiday tradition — the perfect background for an annual holiday photo. The tree is joined by other wonders in glass, including a holiday meal made entirely of glass, as well as a life-sized glass snowperson family. 

You can’t buy the ornaments on these trees, but you can Make Your Own Glass Ornament, year-round, at The Studio.

The Museum's glittering ornament tree has now become a holiday tradition — the perfect background for an annual holiday photo. The tree is joined by other wonders in glass, including a holiday meal made entirely of glass, as well as a life-sized glass snowperson family. 

You can’t buy the ornaments on these trees, but you can Make Your Own Glass Ornament, year-round, at The Studio.

A Glass Tree of Life Menorah
Tree of Life Menorah

The Tree of Life Menorah brings together fine leaves, sturdy branches, a thick tree trunk, and an intricate system of roots—all made possible through flameworked glass shaped over a 4,000°F torch.

The menorah is a prominent symbol in the Jewish faith and plays a central role in the celebration of Hanukkah. Likewise, the “Tree of Life” carries different meanings across faiths, but holds special meaning in Judaism for its connection to the Torah, the Jewish people’s most sacred text. Genesis, the first book of the Torah, locates the “Tree of Life” at the heart of the Garden of Eden (2.4–3:24), and Proverbs 3:18 teaches: “[The Torah] is a tree of life to those who hold her close.”

For many, the tree represents growth, stability, and fertility, as well as hope for and connection to future generations. The extensive roots and intertwined branches illustrate family connections.

Glass candles with flames were also created and will be added each day of Hanukkah.

The Tree of Life Menorah was developed in partnership with Rabbi Todd Markley of Temple Beth Shalom, Needham, MA.

Kwanzaa Setting made out of glass
Kwanzaa Setting

The kinara, Swahili for candleholder, holds seven candles—three red on the left, three green on the right, and a single black candle in the middle—that represent the seven principles that are the foundation of the African-American celebration Kwanzaa. As a new candle is lit each day, families discuss one principle’s importance and how it fosters community amongst African-Americans.

The glass kinara represents a bridge spanning generations of African-American people, and a waterfall cascades behind it to symbolize how they all flow together. In this setting is a Kikombe cha Umoja (Unity Cup) signifying the gathering of family in celebration of a rich heritage. Behind the scene, a mirror invites the onlooker to see their reflection and contemplate what Umoja means to them.

Kwanzaa Setting was designed by Jonathan Rowe of Horseheads, New York, and the Rowe Family guided and assisted the Museum’s Hot Glass Demo Team in creating the piece. The collaboration grew out of discussions of Kwanzaa principles, African-American history, and the state of race relations in the United States. One key principle surfaced in those conversations as the focal point for discussions of family, community, and the issues at hand: Umoja, or “Unity.”

A Glass Tree of Life Menorah
Tree of Life Menorah

The Tree of Life Menorah brings together fine leaves, sturdy branches, a thick tree trunk, and an intricate system of roots—all made possible through flameworked glass shaped over a 4,000°F torch.

The menorah is a prominent symbol in the Jewish faith and plays a central role in the celebration of Hanukkah. Likewise, the “Tree of Life” carries different meanings across faiths, but holds special meaning in Judaism for its connection to the Torah, the Jewish people’s most sacred text. Genesis, the first book of the Torah, locates the “Tree of Life” at the heart of the Garden of Eden (2.4–3:24), and Proverbs 3:18 teaches: “[The Torah] is a tree of life to those who hold her close.”

For many, the tree represents growth, stability, and fertility, as well as hope for and connection to future generations. The extensive roots and intertwined branches illustrate family connections.

Glass candles with flames were also created and will be added each day of Hanukkah.

The Tree of Life Menorah was developed in partnership with Rabbi Todd Markley of Temple Beth Shalom, Needham, MA.

Kwanzaa Setting made out of glass
Kwanzaa Setting

The kinara, Swahili for candleholder, holds seven candles—three red on the left, three green on the right, and a single black candle in the middle—that represent the seven principles that are the foundation of the African-American celebration Kwanzaa. As a new candle is lit each day, families discuss one principle’s importance and how it fosters community amongst African-Americans.

The glass kinara represents a bridge spanning generations of African-American people, and a waterfall cascades behind it to symbolize how they all flow together. In this setting is a Kikombe cha Umoja (Unity Cup) signifying the gathering of family in celebration of a rich heritage. Behind the scene, a mirror invites the onlooker to see their reflection and contemplate what Umoja means to them.

Kwanzaa Setting was designed by Jonathan Rowe of Horseheads, New York, and the Rowe Family guided and assisted the Museum’s Hot Glass Demo Team in creating the piece. The collaboration grew out of discussions of Kwanzaa principles, African-American history, and the state of race relations in the United States. One key principle surfaced in those conversations as the focal point for discussions of family, community, and the issues at hand: Umoja, or “Unity.”

Colorful glass ornament tree
Holiday Ornament Tree

In 2008, the first annual Holiday Ornament Tree showcased more than 600 ornaments handmade by our Hot Glass Show staff. The tree was eight feet tall and four feet in diameter at the bottom. The next year, the tree grew to 14 feet tall, with more than 2,000 glass ornaments made by Museum glassmakers.

The Museum's glittering ornament tree has now become a holiday tradition — the perfect background for an annual holiday photo. The tree is joined by other wonders in glass, including a holiday meal made entirely of glass, as well as a life-sized glass snowperson family. 

You can’t buy the ornaments on these trees, but you can Make Your Own Glass Ornament, year-round, at The Studio.

“It’s an empowering musical of the highest order!” raves the Chicago Tribune.  Don’t miss this uplifting and hilarious  musical celebrating friendship, motherhood, and the magic of a well-made pie.

Meet Jenna, a waitress and expert pie-maker who dreams of a way out of her small town and rocky marriage. Pouring her heart into her pies, she crafts desserts that mirror her topsy-turvy life such as “The Key (Lime) to Happiness Pie” and “Betrayed By My Eggs Pie.” When a baking contest in a nearby county — and a satisfying encounter with someone new — show Jenna a chance at a fresh start, she must find the courage to seize it. Change is on the menu, as long as Jenna can write her own perfectly personal recipe for happiness.

Brought to life by a groundbreaking all-female creative team, this hilarious hit Broadway musical features original music and lyrics by Grammy® Award winner Sara Bareilles (“Brave,” “Love Song”), a book by acclaimed screenwriter Jessie Nelson (I Am Sam), original choreography by Lorin Latarro (Les Liaisons DangereusesWaiting For Godot), recreated by tour choreographer Abbey O’Brien and original direction by Tony Award® winner Diane Paulus (Hair, Pippin), recreated by tour director Susanna Wolk.

“WAITRESS is a little slice of heaven!” says Entertainment Weekly, and is “sweet, sassy and passionate,” according to New York Magazine.
