After a year of darkness, St. Cloud State University’s Theatre program lights the stage again for two public performances of “Clockwork” – an original student-written piece. Conceived and written by senior Theatre students, “Clockwork” is a dystopian examination of social media and corporate politics, drawing inspiration from Netflix’ “Black Mirror” and Stanley Kubrick’s “A Clockwork Orange.”
In this installment of the Untold Stories of Central Minnesota, Arts & Cultural Heritage Producer Jeff Carmack talks with SCSU Theater Professor Jeffrey Bleam and writer Cameron Neumann about this socially-distanced production where three live performers interact with filmed projections and recordings of 19 other student and community actors (and a dog), making this the largest cast size for a SCSU Theatre production in over a decade.

This week on Minnesota Music notes Brett Carter features the Duluth band Woodblind. This band stands apart with their unique blend of vocal sound effects, taps, slaps, and grunts backing up strong guitar from Jason Wussow and banging bass from Veikko Lepisto. With a mix of original music and covers of local muscians’s songs, Woodblind creates a lot of sound from just two instruments and two voices.
It’s the 92nd Academy Awards next week-end, televised live from multiple locations. It won’t be quite like the previous 91 times — more red carpets, for one thing. We’ll have reviews and recommendations for this year’s movies, a conversation with Jack Nachbar and Justiin Peck about the movie screenings they organize here in the north, and a special guest appearance from noted Cayuga Six Nations actor Gary Farmer, with the story behind the location of a Billy Wilder classic.
Leif Brush was a pioneering sound artist based in Duluth since the mid 1970s. His Terrain Instruments were just some of the audible sculptures that isolated and emphasised the sounds of otherwise natural phenomena. KFAI’s Ben Heath celebrates the work of a remarkable Minnesotan.

The Lake Wobegon Trail is a 10-foot wide strip of pavement that guides bicyclists through Central Minnesota’s trees, lakes, and fields of cows. Now, there’s a new destination along the trail: Art in Motion, an art gallery and café in the small town of Holdingford.
Holdingford native Greg Konsor opened Art in Motion in summer of 2020, combining his passions for art, biking, and the outdoors. The space, which sits in the middle of a sprawling 32 acre plot, is half art gallery and half café. You can grab a beer and listen to a local band on the back patio, or take a stroll along the nearby trail. Visitors are biking from nearby towns — and even across the country — to explore Art in Motion’s unique space. KFAI’s Colleen Cowie reports.
