The student-run event highlights the best work in art, animation, game design, graphic design and research at the Rudder Complex.

Themed Entertainment (VIST 489), which will be offered in the fall, has been developed by Joel Zika, Ph.D., assistant professor in virtual production.

Matthew Campbell, Ph.D., instructional associate professor in Performance and Visual Studies, said he wanted to host the event following the debut of his Global Hip-Hop course this semester.

The event featured panel discussions and three performances at the College Station Events Center. Hagler Fellow Lyle Lovett and his guests Leland Sklar and Chuck Ainlay were among the panelists.

“History in the Making: Reconstructing Early Modern Textiles and Clothing” featured hands-on activities including experimenting with fabric dyes and stamp patterns.

The film was made by Danny Tedesco and showcases four legendary session musicians: Leland Sklar, Danny Kortchmar, Russ Kunkel and Waddy Wachtel.

The second-annual showcase featured student performances April 7–11, spanning genres and styles from opera to percussion to experimental works.

The performances were April 9-11 at the Black Box Theater in the Physical Education Activity Program Building.

The 2022 film showcases four legendary session musicians who performed and recorded hit songs with artists including James Taylor, Keith Richards, Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, Stevie Nicks and Jackson Browne.

Join us April 14 for the next event in Lovett’s Hagler Fellow residency: a screening and discussion of “Immediate Family,” a 2022 documentary by Danny Tedesco.
