The CSI Stage Door Series will present "Soiled Doves" at 7:30 p.m. on January 25 in the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium. Tickets are $10 for adults or $5 for students although caution is advised for that age group due to the content of the show. Tickets will be available at the CSI Box Office, by calling 732-6288, at the door, or by going online to
http://tickets.csi.edu.
Join us as members of the Twin Falls theater community perform a table reading of the original script Soiled Doves. This script promises to illuminate the lives of the women who have worked in the prostitution industry and been coerced into the dark world of human trafficking, as well as explore the implications for the women themselves and our rural community as a whole.
The reading will be punctuated by real-life stories and photos of historical brothels in Twin Falls and the surrounding towns from the 1880s through the 1960s gathered from newspaper clippings and live interviews of our friends and neighbors who had ties to the oldest profession that was quite prolific in Twin Falls history.
The CSI Stage Door Series, intimate arts experiences where both performers and audience members are on the stage itself, are designed to be thought-provoking and a little out of the ordinary in different ways - whether it's because of the intimate setting, the material performed, the way they are presented, or the collaborations involved.

CSI Herrett Center Announces New Art Exhibit
|
Heritage Habitats by
Ginger Owen-Murakami and Vicki Vanameyden
THIS ART EXHIBIT WILL OPEN AT THE HERRETT CENTER JANUARY 30, 2018
According to the artists:
The goal of this work is to engage community and school groups in discussions that address the ties that bind individuals: memory, history, culture, humanity and ancestry. This work also challenges audiences to interact and experience non-traditional materials and art making methods as contemporary artistic practice.
Artist Statement:
Heritage Habitats is a series of physical spaces for contemplation and invocation of ancestry. Framed around nostalgia and memory,
Kites, Cairn, Grove, Heartwood and
Roots are large scale, sculptural and experiential installations that engage in viewers' unique memories and experiences. In essence, the work emphasizes commonalities that bind people and cultures and serve as an expression of humanism.
Methods for creating these works involve appropriating imagery from our respective family albums then, framing ideas around the experience generated from remembering our past. The images we select are iconic in nature, typical of pictures that exist in all family photo albums. They reference concepts linked to blueprints of identity and help us to find our place in a larger historical picture. We value history and tradition as the staples of human life while acknowledging that representations of realities are altered by elapsed time and convoluted memories.
The six installations that comprise
Heritage Habitats explore collective memories, vernacular photography and the act of pursuing one's history as a universal human experience. Ultimately, the works are a residue of the process of self-discovery and catharsis. They are concerned with aspects of imaging oneself in a genealogical lineage while contemplating basic life stages: birth, infancy, youth, adulthood, old age and ultimately death.
Kites represents a communal conversation on the influence of family history and the life stage of youth. A young girl's dress form is tethered to images of her past with umbilical cord-like lines. Ghostlike images of her ancestors metaphorically hover above on carefree kites.
Cairn references a burial mound or marker. This installation operates like a box of photographs - piles of images to sift through. Structured like a gravestone it memorializes the passing of life.
Hankies suggests a history of a western world viewpoints and mediated experience through the domestic lens. The photographic images, appropriated from 1920's National Geographic subscription magazines, are symbols of humanity that tie and bond people worldwide.
