Discover the dances of the Nordic region when the Nordic Dancers of Washington, D.C., take to the stage for a free performance at the Pullo Family Performing Arts Center at Penn State York. This is the 2017-18 kickoff event for Teaching International at Penn State York.
Teaching International (TI) is a curriculum and campus globalization initiative at Penn State York. Each academic year, the campus selects a country or region and a theme as a focus for instructional and co-curricular events. The country for this year is Scandinavia and the theme is water. Last year TI focused on the Pacific Islands with a theme of literacy.
The Nordic Dancers of Washington, D.C., including fiddler Paul Carlson and a small group of dancers, will present a sampling of dances and music from the Nordic countries. Background about the historical and cultural context of the dances and music will also be provided. This will be an informal program, in which audience members will have a chance to learn some typical dances.
Founded in 1972, the Nordic Dancers of Washington D.C. preserve the traditions of community dance groups that were brought to this country by immigrants from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. Many of the group’s members were either born in one of the countries mentioned or are of Nordic descent, while others are drawn to the distinctive music and dances.
The group’s repertoire consists of traditional village dances, both for couples and groups, and set dances choreographed from traditional forms and figures.

Presented by the Penn State York Office of Student Affairs
Thu. October 12, 2017 at 7:00 pm
*This is a free event, and does not require tickets for entrance.
In this captivating, beautiful, and inspiring program, Anthony tells his story of coming out in a very traditionally based military family. He relates his experience from initial rejection to acceptance with his family and himself. He describes his life journey towards discovering what it means to be a man who is openly gay and respected as a human being, sharing his art and his love to help raise the way humanity sees itself. His lecture concludes with a performance of movement, music and flowers that will leave a lasting memory, and encourage all who experience it, to follow their heart and be their self.
Anthony Ward began his work as an Artist in residence at the Omega Institute, where for 12 years he made unique floral offerings for their weekly workshops including offerings for Madonna and Dr. Maya Angelou who coined his art “floral sculpting.” His work took a turn towards a more spiritual aspect of artistry after creating for Ram Dass and His Holiness the Dali Lama. His work was further influence through relationships with author Alice Walker, and artists Alex and Allyson Grey. Those experiences helped to shape the idea that he wanted to create work to honor those and co-create with those who are working to uplift the vibration on our troubled planet.
Anthony was invited to join Bobby McFerrin onstage at the San Francisco Jazz Festival, improvising movement and building a 14 ft. tall floral sculpture of flowers, autumn leaves, and lemons on a stem. After witnessing this performance, Michael Franti said “I was in tears the whole time you guys were on stage. You must do this with my band Spearhead.” Since then, Anthony has performed with countless musicians and at many festivals including Ziggy Marley and Sound Tribe Sector 9, connecting with young people seeking to open their hearts and minds.

Elijah Cross: RISE
A Benefit for NAMI York
Fri. September 29, 2017 at 7:00 pm
*This is a rental presentation
RISE is a new, inspirational show written and performed by York musician, magician and comedian Elijah Cross. In this event, Cross uses songs, sleights and silliness to tell the story of surviving his struggles with parental abuse, mental illness and homelessness, with the aim of encouraging others to not let anything keep them from using their own talents to put good in their community and the world.
$10,000 in ticket sales from this event will benefit NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness), the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mentalillness. Since people living with mental illness need a community that supports them, their families and their recovery, NAMI advocates for access to services, treatment, supports and research, and is steadfast in its commitment to raise awareness and build hope for all of those in need. NAMI helped Elijah when he moved to York; with the need for mental health services growing while the ability to meet the demand is declining, Elijah saw an opportunity to give back to those who helped give him a start in a new home.
Elijah is originally from California, and an alumnus of the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts, where he began playing music and acting in stage productions. While still in high school, he began working as a professional magician, and shortly after graduating, he was booking music and comedy clubgigs in his new home of New York.
After a period of traveling the country, which included a very brief deal with Geffen Records, and honing an award-winning comedy act that would become praised by Conan's head writer Brian Kiley, Elijah settled down in York in 2011, portraying Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar at the Strand-Capitol the same year. In 2013 he joined the Big Dogs of Comedy Tour, which performed at Heritage Hills-owned locations. In 2014 he appeared on FOX 43 performing his music, and built a following by playing local venues. The following year he was the opening act for Rusted Root’s Michael Glabicki and Dirk Miller in Hanover. 2016 saw the release of his debut album Here’s the Skinny, a set of songs lauded as “sterling” by folk legend Linda Perhacs.

Ronnie Milsap
Fri. November 17, 2017 at 7:30 pm
Ronnie Milsap ranks as the pre-eminent country soul singer of his generation. He also represents much more than any two-word definition can convey: a humble, overtly friendly fellow with a talent as vast and multi-dimensional as the American South. Milsap provided country music with one of its most important voices, as the genre was moving beyond its rural roots into the mainstream of modern entertainment. Country music couldn’t have found a man more suited to lead the charge. Steeped in the mountain music of the North Carolina hills and schooled in classical piano, Milsap early in life found inspiration in a wide variety of music. Even as he mastered Beethoven and Mozart, his heart belonged to hardcore country and rhythm-and-blues -- music he heard beamed from powerful radio stations located in Nashville. Those earthy sounds about life and love provided a young, impoverished blind boy with a connection to a world beyond the harsh reality of his daily existence.

John Zaffis - Godfather of the Paranormal
Thu. October 5, 2017 at 7:30 pm
John Zaffis has over forty three years of experience studying and investigating the paranormal. He has had the opportunity to work for and with his aunt and uncle, Ed and Lorraine Warren. This sent John beyond looking for ghosts and hauntings and into studying demonology under the Warrens. This led into John's involvement with cases of possession and exorcism, which gave him the opportunity to work with prominent exorcists in this field, including Roman Catholic priests, monks, Buddhists, rabbis and ministers. John has assisted and worked with well-known exorcists Bishop Robert McKenna, Father Malachi Martin, and the Reverend Jun.
His research has taken him throughout the United States, Canada, England and Scotland covering several thousands of cases. Through hands on investigating with other investigators and clergy, he has obtained a great deal of knowledge and understanding of the paranormal and is considered one of the foremost authorities in the field today.
John has a lot of first-hand paranormal experience, including experience with ghosts, poltergeists, and demonic and diabolical entities. He has also worked extensively with both spiritualists and psychics concerning how their knowledge is used for channeling, reincarnation (past-life regression), calling of the spirits for information, and how they use meditation to acquire the information which they are seeking. Because of his personal experiences with hauntings, ESP, near death experiences and other paranormal activities, he is firm in his conviction that such phenomena exist.
John has been featured in the SyFy television series Haunted Collector, Discovery Channel's documentaries A Haunting in Connecticut and Little Lost Souls. John has also appeared on Unsolved Mysteries, Piers Morgan, and many other print and news media events. John also appears in Graveyards and In A Dark Place, both books written by Ed and Lorraine Warren. John's first book, Shadows of the Dark, co-written with Brian McIntyre, was released in September, 2004. John has also appeared on Ghost Hunters and Ghost Adventures. John is working on multiple follow-up books currently, and is lecturing all over the United States at colleges and universities.
Over the years, John has collected many hundreds of possessed items either given to or sent to him by people wishing to be rid of them. The John Zaffis Paranormal Museum opened in 2004 in order to display these items, and continues to be open today. John wrote and starred in the documentary film Museum of the Paranormal, released in 2010, which gives the viewer a tour of his museum and the stories behind some of the objects. John is the starring role in the television series Haunted Collector which ran on SyFy from 2011 through 2013, and now airs on Destination America.

Roots & Revival Tour
Sat. October 7, 2017 at 7:30 pm
Once dubbed by Rolling Stone as “the greatest female country singer since Patsy Cline,” Wynonna’s rich and commanding voice has sold over 30 million albums worldwide. Five-time GRAMMY winner and New York Times best-selling author, Wynonna has received over 60 industry awards, with countless charting singles, including 20 No.1 hits such as “Mama He’s Crazy,” “Why Not Me,” and “Grandpa, (Tell Me ‘Bout The Good Ole Days).”
“My roots are firmly planted in Country music, the music that has been a backdrop to the lives of so many of my fans,” says Wynonna. “But I was given wings and I’m grateful, after all this time, for the freedom to be myself and sing the music that I love.”
Wynonna, along with her band The Big Noise, will explore the past, present and future of Wynonna’s extensive 33-year career on the 2017 Roots & Revival Tour.
Wynonna & The Big Noise, led by husband/drummer/producer, Cactus Moser, released their debut full-length album in February 2016 via Curb Records to critical acclaim. Wynonna has described the new sound as “vintage yet modern” and a “return to the well.” It’s a rootsy work encompassing country, Americana, blues, soul and rock.
