CSUS Fine Arts Alumni getting involved

The Fine Arts Department is reaching out to connect with our CSUS Fine Arts alumni. Our arts alumni can bring a vast wealth of information and experience to our current community, and we hope to make more connections in the years to come.

The year began with the Alumni Art Exhibit, which featured five visual artists; Selma Hartog Alderson (attended CSUS in1954), Susan Nightengale ‘69, Linda Anderson Schenck ’60, Justine Drennan ‘07, Eliza Reisfeld ’07. This event is the first of several connections planned this year.

Last week, Noelle Goodman Morris ‘03 taught a Physical Theatre class to Maggie’s Performance dancers to help them relax, improvise and rid themselves of inhibitions. Ben Fisher ‘04 will come in to teach the Middle School fall play cast the art and magic of stage combat and assist Kate Tomates in the last weeks of the show, just in case her baby decides to come early!

In November, JT Horenstein ‘92 will give a workshop to the entire dance department. And, finally we have three dancers who will be a part of the first ever CSUS Alumni Dance Company; Bryce Robertson ‘02, Noelle Goodman Morris ‘03 and Stephanie Reisfeld ‘04.

If you are part of our Arts Alumni or you are now involved in the arts and would like to share your talent and experience with our community, please contact Maggie Fongheiser Fine Arts Department Chair. mfongheiser@csus.org or (650) 342.4175. Thank you.
