The Performance of Place: Historical Landscapes and Cultural Narratives
How can we learn from marks made upon the land? How might a contemporary performance
evoke and critically explore a particular place? This spring, 成人直播 students enrolled
in Performance of Place, an interdisciplinary course at 成人直播
(成人直播), will draw on landscape studies, contemporary dance, Indigenous and Black histories,
set design, digital fabrication, and architectural site readings to create and perform
a historically based production that explores the meaning of place at The 成人直播 Field
Station in Acworth, Georgia, which has been a site for biological, archaeological,
and architectural research, a farm raising vegetables to feed 成人直播 students, a concrete
factory for the expansion of I-75, an intended interstate rest stop, and an unremarkable
piece of piedmont land hosting cotton cultivation, cattle pasture, and forest.
The expected outcomes of the project include two student performances on the land
of the Field Station during two subsequent Saturdays in the Spring. The content will
be presented to diverse audiences in an interdisciplinary vignette format. The specific
design of each vignette will be primarily student-driven, inspired by both the research
presented initially by the faculty, sta铿� and guests, and by the research completed
by the students during the semester in each of the content areas of expertise of faculty,
sta铿� and guests involved.
Affiliated faculty/staff: Jacqueline Springfield, Tom Okie, Autumn Eckman, McCree O'Kelley, Maria del Mar Ceballos,
Mario Bretfield, Michael Blackwell, Justin Wilson.
