Presentation by Paul Jauusi
Tuesday, January 30, 2024 // 7:30pm
Optional Social Hour With Like-Minded Friends, Light Snacks And Beverages @ 6:30pm
The Lorraine Boccardo Theater
Paul Jaussi was introduced to birding in college when he first saw a Western Tanager through a pair of binoculars and was hooked. That event started a passion for birding that has followed him throughout his life. While a native of Utah, he lived in Oregon for 22 years, where he helped grow the Friends of the Refuge for the newly founded Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge, serving as both a Board member and Vice President for several years.
Paul and his family recently moved to St. George, Utah where he was surprised at the wildlife diversity of the area. When the small Red Cliffs Audubon chapter was on the verge of shutting down, Paul agreed to take over so the birds and wildlife in this area didn’t lose their voice and served as president for 5 years. A manufacturing engineer by profession, Paul loves being outdoors whether hiking, backpacking, canyoneering, or leading birding field trips for the Audubon. He loves sharing the beauty and birds of Greater Zion with others. And he especially loves his wife and five children.

The Lorraine Boccardo Theater
Coyote Tales are live, open-mic style storytelling events with amateur and experienced storytellers. Each event has a theme on which stories are to be based. The theme for this event is: “MAKING PEACE.” Potential storytellers may address that theme in any way they choose. Prior to the event, storytellers craft their true, on-theme story, practice the telling (5 minutes or less), and work on eliminating excess detail to nail the perfect ending. When the doors open, potential storytellers put their name in the hat in hopes of being chosen to share their tale. If chosen, the storyteller takes the stage to delight the audience. Coyote Tales is delighted that OUTSIDE MAGAZINE will be recording storyteller David Lindes’ take on the evening’s theme along with David’s original song, Gold in the Ashes for future broadcast on their popular podcast, OUTSIDE.

After his father’s unexpected death, pianist Adam Tendler used his inheritance, a wad of cash received in a parking lot, to begin a commissioning project inviting a broad spectrum of sound artists and composers to create new piano works exploring the idea of ‘inheritance’ itself. Woven into one intimate program, these pieces tell a universal story of lineage, loss, and place, and become a meditation on confronting our past while moving forward into the future.
New works to be performed are from a wonderful range of commissioned composers: Devonté Hynes, Nico Muhly, Laurie Anderson, inti figgis-vizueta, Pamela Z, Ted Hearne, Angélica Negrón, Christopher Cerrone, Marcos Balter, Missy Mazzoli, Darian Donovan Thomas, Sarah Kirkland Snider, Scott Wollschleger, Mary Prescott, Timo Andres and John Glover.

What makes a bird a bird? And when did all those characteristically birdy features first evolve? The evolutionary origins of birds, and the way that birds were “built” over the course of almost 100 million years, may surprise you!
Dr. Jerry Harris was born at a very early age in Chicago, Illinois. Shortly thereafter, he became enamored with dinosaurs, and his continued fascination with them proves that he’s never quite grown up completely. With a few hiccups along the way, and by continually moving across the country, he has earned B.A., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in the geosciences, focusing on vertebrate paleontology. He has worked at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science; he is currently the Director of Paleontology and a Professor of Geology at Dixie State University and is the scientific advisor to the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm in St. George.

The Lorraine Boccardo Theater
Anyone familiar with Martha Scanlan and Jon Neufeld’s unique alchemy on stage will not be surprised by the sense of being taken into the moment – their shows are in and of themselves a journey of improvisation; the way Jon Neufeld’s brilliant innovative guitar playing weaves effortlessly around Martha’s timeless songwriting is simply magical. While currents of deep Appalachian mountain valleys and vast Montana landscapes wind through Martha’s songs, it’s really the accessibility and intimacy that defines them, and how they seem to find their way into soundtracks by TBone Burnett, pages of celebrated American novelists like Rick Bass and Joyce Carol Oates, shared mixes by Emmy Lou Harris, covers by roots musicians from Sarah Jarosz to Andrew Marlin to Solas, quiet song circles and camp fires.

BYOUL|NORRI by Los Angeles-based choreographer DaEun Jung features Pansori song (Korean folk opera), original electronic beats, irregular folk rhythms, Hangul (Korean alphabet system), and chance operation that deconstructs, reinterprets and transforms classical Korean dance. The hour-long concert is performed in two parts, Byoul (별): “star,” a solo performance by the Choreographer herself, and Norri (놀이): “play’, a four part ensemble work.
In her dances, DaEun Jung connects different times and spaces together across cultures and geographies. Her work has redefined the principle, form, structure, and function of Korean classical and folk dance in multicultural settings. DaEun studied at UCLA where she received her MFA in choreography and the Westfield Emerging Artist Award. Previously, she performed in Asia and Europe as a dancer of Gyeonggi Provincial Dance Company, a dance organization renowned for its traditional and contemporary Korean dance repertoire, and also performed as a main actress in Tokebi Storm, a rhythmic physical theater group, presenting Korean-style drumming and dance in more than 1,000 shows to worldwide audiences.
