About this event

“Masked for Battle: Mardi Gras Indian Culture Confronts Covid” explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Mardi Gras Indians, also known as Black masking Indians. The Mardi Gras Indians are groups that parade on improvised routes through their neighborhoods each Mardi Gras, displaying elaborately designed costumes, also called suits, that are hand sewn with beads and feathers. 

This is the third film in a series of documentaries directed by Mike Yearling (Yearling Pictures) and produced by students at Ohio State Newark that gives voice to participants in a time-honored Black parading tradition in New Orleans. Yearling, faculty and students produced “Spirit Leads My Needle: The Big Chiefs of Carnival” in 2014 and “It’s Your Glory: The Queens of Carnival” in 2016, which was nominated for a 2016 regional Emmy. 

Location: Reese Center Room 145

About this event

Cultural Bearing, Civic Engagement, and the Mardi Gras Indian Queens

Virginia Cope, PhD, associate dean, associate professor of English
Tiyi Morris, PhD, associate professor of African American and African Studies

Sometimes called Black Indians, the Mardi Gras Indians are African Americans who mask (parade) in New Orleans during Carnival wearing elaborate handmade suits of beads and feathers. Dating back to the mid-19th century, the practice is deeply rooted in African traditions of dance and music.

The Mardi Gras Indian culture reflects Black peoples' attempts to resist the psychic brutality of dehumanization and marginalization and to create structures for individual and community development beyond their social, economic and political confines. Although less visible, the women who serve as queens are central to the tradition and the community's survival, serving as culture bearers and other mothers.

Presented in partnership with Multicultural Affairs and Black History Month.

“Changes in Mental and Cognitive Health across Pre- and Post-Pandemic Samples” 
Professor Melissa Buelow, PhD

During the COVID-19 pandemic, multiple stories appeared in the news about increasing rates of psychological disorders, such as anxiety and depression. In addition, several stories discussed increased difficulties in making even simple, everyday decisions. But did rates of mental and cognitive health symptoms change? This presentation examines data on self-reported rates of psychological diagnoses and performance on decision-making tasks across pre-pandemic (2011-2019) and pandemic (2020-2022) samples.

This event is free and open to the pubic. Attend in person or virtually.

About this event

Story

After stumbling upon an outdoor production of a Shakespeare play in Manhattan, Long Island landscaper Bob Malone returns home inspired to write a play about his troubled marriage. He hires two reluctant New York theater professionals to spend a week at his home and stage the play in his garage, with a cast of colorful locals. The Groundling is a comedy exploring the meaning of the final moments of Shakespeare’s Loves's Labour's Lost and how the power of theater can affect the most unsuspecting, and perhaps most deserving, of us all.

Playwright: Marc Palmieri
Director: Edie L. Norlin

The play is presented through special arrangement with Dramatist Play Service.

Auditions: Open to the public

Casting requirements: Four men (one older) and three women

A two- to three-minute monologue is optional. All actors will be asked to do cold reads from the script. Scripts are available on closed reserve in the Warner Library. Actors are always encouraged to read the script before audition participation. If anyone is interested in a crew position, please contact Edie L. Norlin immediately for an interview. Crew positions go fast. All potential actors and crew are encouraged to attend one night of auditions.

Performances will be held April 5–7 and 12-14.
