SUMMARY:Modelface Comedy presents Greg Warren at Eulogy
DESCRIPTION:Modelface Comedy brings you the best comedians from all over the country. This weekend we have Greg Warren at Eulogy in Asheville!! \nGreg Warren is a beloved stand-up comedian known for his sharp\, relatable humor that resonates with everyday families across the country. Warren recently released his latest comedy special\, The Champ\, produced by Nate Bargatze\, now streaming on Nateland’s YouTube channel. The Champtakes audiences through a hilarious exploration of the dangers of poison ivy\, the rise of high school fishing teams\, and his own (somewhat questionable) claims to champion status. The New York Times praised The Champ\, noting: “His appealing\, all-American observational humor begins with such sound\, simple ideas\, executed with commitment. Produced by Nate Bargatze\, who shares his family-friendly\, slice-of-life style\, Warren takes on a big\, bland subject like poison ivy or Walgreens\, then sits with it\, attacking from a dizzying number of angles.” \nGreg’s previous special\, The Salesman — co-produced by Nate Bargatze and 800 Pound Gorilla Media — was hailed by The New York Times\, as “ [having] done for peanut butter what Jerry Seinfeld did for Pop-Tarts and Jim Gaffigan did for Hot Pockets.” The hour tells the story of Greg’s post-college years selling Jif and Pringles for Procter & Gamble\, a formative chapter that ultimately launched his career in stand-up comedy. He can be seen in his Amazon Prime Special\, Where The Field Corn Grows\, Fish Sandwich on Dry Bar Comedy\, Late Night with Seth Meyers\, The Late Late Show and Comedy Central Presents. Greg’s audience consists of a widely diverse spectrum\, having performed as a finalist on BET’s Coming to the Stage and on Country Music Television. He is a longtime favorite on the nationally syndicated Bob & Tom Show\, where he also contributes a recurring call-in segment known as The Warren Report. \nGreg’s material has been a daily staple on SiriusXM for over a decade and can now be heard regularly on the Pure Comedy channel (formerly Laugh USA)\, as well as Jeff & Larry’s Comedy Roundup. He’s guested on top podcasts including Nateland\, Never Not Funny\, Bertcast\, Dumb People Town\, The Adam Carolla Show\, and many more. He was selected as a New Face of Comedy at JFL\, has performed on Comedy Central’s Premium Blend and participated in NBC’s Last Comic Standing. Greg is also the co-host of The Consumers\, a podcast on Nate Bargatze’s Nateland network\, where he and fellow comedians Tim Convy & Sean O’Brien do a weekly deep dive into one national brand. \nGreg hails from St. Louis\, MO\, where his father was a high school wrestling coach\, and his mother made him play clarinet in the band. He has captivated audiences with anecdotes about the conflict inherent in meshing the two disparate high school identities of varsity wrestler and band geek. Greg was also a West Point Cadet\, where he distinguished himself by amassing an impressive tally of demerits and endless hours of pointless marching. After moving on to the University of Missouri\, he studied journalism and became an All-American college wrestler. Warren can be seen working out his new material on a brand new domestic tour throughout 2025. You can find tickets on GregWarrencomedy.com. \nages 18+\ndoors at 6:30\, show at 7pm \nTickets\nGA: $25 advance\, $30 day of\nPremium seating* $35 \n*premium seating is the front three rows and raised seating

DESCRIPTION:The Blue Ridge Orchestra takes its performances on the road for its 26th season debut under the leadership of Music Director Dr. Emily Mariko Eng. “Post-Helene: Remembering\, Rebuilding\, Reimagining” captures an array of emotions in two September events.

This program features: the world premiere of Sinfonietta Helene by Asheville-based composer Jay Sanders; Iman Habibi’s Jeder Baum spricht\, which is inspired by the beauty of nature and the impact of climate change; Elgar’s “Nimrod” from Enigma Variations to honor the memories of the people and places we lost; and local composer Phillip Rhodes’s Concerto for Bluegrass\, a nod to the resilience of WNC.    \nThe BRO’s home at UNC Asheville is undergoing a multi-year scheduled renovation. While displaced from Lipinsky Hall\, we are excited to bring our music to a venue near you!  \nOur passionate group of volunteer musicians will perform in the charming Warren Wilson Presbyterian Church\, east of Asheville\, and the renowned Diana Wortham Theatre in downtown Asheville.

SUMMARY:PERFORMANCE: flux in time
DESCRIPTION:flux in time: a heterotpic theater from the aborted future (2025)\nSaturday\, September 27th\, 2025 at 8pm\nBlack Mountain College Museum + Arts Center {120 College Street}\nFREE and open to all – No Registration Required \nJoin us on Saturday\, September 27th for an interactive performance presented in conjunction with the 15th Annual ReVIEWING Black Mountain College International Conference. Kyriakos Apostolidis\, gordon fung\, Kim Nucci\, Che Pai\, and Kyle Price of //sense\, a Chicago-based neo-Fluxus theater troupe\, will stage an immersive “theater of mixed means” that weaves a metaphorical and metaphysical network through history\, art\, and life\, paying homage to the legacy of BMC. \nThis performance invites audiences to collectively revisit the past and reimagine the future. Through the embodied actions of its artists\, the troupe transforms time and space into heterotopic sites where multiple centers across eras converge in the present moment. Conceiving individuals as living time capsules\, the performers fuse human experiences into intellectual rhizomes\, cultivating a shared terrain of intelligence\, consciousness\, and the cosmic mind.\n___ \ngordon fung (b. 1988\, San Francisco\, CA; lives in Chicago\, IL) is a transdisciplinary artist-curator who works with large-scale curatorial/collaborative practices\, experimental audiovisual performances\, new media installations\, noise music\, experimental film/video\, media archaeology\, participatory works\, and happenings. His works highlight unconventional executions like equipment misapplication\, lo-fi presentations\, and glitches. Such aesthetics confront the viewers’ understanding\, perspective\, and point of view on reality through a more philosophical and esoteric investigation.\n___ \nKyriakos Apostolidis (b. Drama\, Greece 1991) is a performance artist\, movement researcher\, and the founder of Morphoplastics\, a practice-based research project in the field of performance studies—an embodied investigation into the performer’s body as a means of expression and knowledge. Their live performances present movement-based endurance actions while involving audio-visual installations at the intersection of art & technology. In addition to performing with //sense\, Kyriakos will present a workshop at ReVIEWING 15.\n____ \nChe Pai is a Chicago-based Taiwanese artist whose practice spans photography\, performance\, and meditation\, primarily manifested through the medium of artist’s books. His unique approach involves conducting images and employing book structures to invite play and performance\, adding a dynamic layer to the contemplative journey of reading. Drawing inspiration from contemporary literature\, slow cinema\, and the physical theater of Tai Chi\, Che’s artwork transforms the reading experience into a multi-sensory exploration.\n___ \nKim Nucci is a Chicago/Oakland-based media artist\, composer\, improviser\, and technologist. They perform on electronics\, synthesizers\, and saxophones. In their studio practice\, they create interactive installations using architectural intervention\, light\, projection\, microcontrollers\, temporary sculpture and painting. Nucci’s research interests explore the pedestrian cybernetic body\, critically examining our relationship with technology/our instruments. Their solo performance practice is invested in ritualism and trance states in improvisation. They hold an MFA in Electronic Music and Recording Media\, an MA in Music Composition from Mills College\, and a BA from Bennington College.\n____ \nKyle Gregory Price is a genre-fluid composer\, percussionist and turntablist by trade\, who regularly produces work in other mediums including stop-motion animation\, jewelry making\, costume design and dance/movement. He has been a practicing artist for over twenty years. Raised in a one stoplight town in Upstate New York\, Kyle put himself through college\, earned a Bachelors of Music in Composition from SUNY Fredonia in 2005 and was active in the Buffalo art scene for several years before migrating to Chicago in 2010. Since moving to Chicago he has performed solo and collaboratively\, and served as the composer and bandleader in various projects ranging from punk and noise to chamber music and free-jazz.

SUMMARY:Saturday: Post-Helene: Remembering\, Rebuilding\, Reimagining
DESCRIPTION:The Blue Ridge Orchestra takes its performances on the road for its 26th season debut under the leadership of Music Director Dr. Emily Mariko Eng. “Post-Helene: Remembering\, Rebuilding\, Reimagining” captures an array of emotions in two September events.

This program features: the world premiere of Sinfonietta Helene by Asheville-based composer Jay Sanders; Iman Habibi’s Jeder Baum spricht\, which is inspired by the beauty of nature and the impact of climate change; Elgar’s “Nimrod” from Enigma Variations to honor the memories of the people and places we lost; and local composer Phillip Rhodes’s Concerto for Bluegrass\, a nod to the resilience of WNC.    \nThe BRO’s home at UNC Asheville is undergoing a multi-year scheduled renovation. While displaced from Lipinsky Hall\, we are excited to bring our music to a venue near you!  \nOur passionate group of volunteer musicians will perform in the charming Warren Wilson Presbyterian Church\, east of Asheville\, and the renowned Diana Wortham Theatre in downtown Asheville.  Help us celebrate WNC’s inspiring\, resilient culture this fall. \nSaturday\, September 27th\, 2025\, 3:00 pm\nWarren Wilson Presbyterian Church\n101 Chapel Ln.\n Swannanoa\, NC 28778 \nSunday\, September 28th\, 2025\, 3:00 pm\nDiana Wortham Theatre\nWortham Center for the Performing Arts\n18 Biltmore Ave.\nAsheville\, NC 28801 \nTickets: Pricing varies per venue.

SUMMARY:Hendersonville Symphony Orchestra - Masterworks 1
DESCRIPTION:Our season opener celebrates composers who preserved their identity amidst pressures to conform to the status quo. Dvorak refused to Germanize his name for his publishers\, Sibelius rejected continental Romanticism\, and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor\, a descendant of enslaved Africans dealt with racism and elitism his entire life in late 19th century Britain. Each one of these pieces are the works for which these composers derived their fame\, and each are a statement of resistance to oppression.

SUMMARY:ReVIEWING Black Mountain College 2025
DESCRIPTION:The ReVIEWING Black Mountain College conference is a forum for scholars and artists to contribute original work on topics related to Black Mountain College and its place in cultural history. \nThe format is designed to be interdisciplinary\, with sessions that will include panels\, presentations\, performances\, and workshops. BMC itself was a uniquely interdisciplinary organization\, generating output from its faculty and students that often involved the melding of the visual\, performing\, and literary arts. Each year\, conference participation reflects this; past presentations have explored wide-ranging\, fruitful intersections such as (to name just a few of the most recent examples) how Charles Olson’s “projectivist” poetics inspired works on the stage and screen; the influence of choreographer Merce Cunningham on Abstract Expressionist painters trained at BMC such as Pat Passlof and James Bishop; the photography of poet-publisher-artist Jonathan Williams; the path from BMC’s first Summer Institute in honor of Arnold Schoenberg\, to the design and philosophy of contemporary summer arts programs today; a performance connecting Ruth Asawa’s sculpture to contemporary dance; and a workshop offering attendees the opportunity to weave on looms with found materials\, as Anni Albers’ BMC students did. \nThe conference is hosted annually in the fall. ReVIEWING 15 will take place September 26 – 28th\, 2025\, presented in conjunction with BMCM+AC’s fall 2025 exhibition\, Points in Space: Performance at Black Mountain College\, organized by Jeff Arnal\, curator\, and Adolfo Alzuphar\, curatorial assistant. Black Mountain College’s interdisciplinary and collaborative philosophy fostered groundbreaking time-based experiments across disciplines\, significantly influencing performance\, theater\, film\, music\, dance\, and visual art worldwide. The exhibition will feature visual and time-based artworks that echo BMC’s innovative spirit from 1933 to 1957 including historical and contemporary works\, interactive installations\, performances\, and immersive experiences that bring the past into conversation with the present.  \n— \nKeynote Speaker: Debra McCall \nDebra McCall is a dance historian\, choreographer\, Certified Movement Analyst\, and performer best known for her reconstructions of Oskar Schlemmer’s 1920s Bauhaus Dances. Recipient of fellowships from the NEA and the NEH\, she also received the Rome Prize in Design from the American Academy in Rome and a Fulbright-Nehru Professional and Academic Excellence Award for her documentation of medieval reliefs of sacred dancers at the Thillai Nataraja Temple in Chidambaram\, Tamil Nadu. McCall served on the graduate faculties of New York University and Pratt Institute where she was Mellon Lecturer. Her Bauhaus work has been presented in a variety of venues including Performa 09\, Artissima 17 Torino\, and Harvard University’s The Bauhaus and Harvard: 100 years.
