Event Schedule
Conversation Without Walls: Bearing Witness
3/11 from 4:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. Scholars and artists gather to commemorate the five-year anniversary of the Fukushima disaster. How are we challenged by mounting human failures? How does being a mover affect our thoughts and sensitivity? And how do our memories affect our movement? How do choreographers concern themselves with changing environments, artistically, politically and socially?
