Our afternoon “Activity Sessions” challenge you to question yourself and the world beyond, formulate answers, experience new tools, and create your own artworks with the curated artists leading the sessions.
COMMUNICATION
Live Writers
Activity Session: Processing Performance, a Live Writing Demo
3:00-4:15pm | Segal Theatre
Throughout the three-day duration of Prelude, a curated group of Live Writers will respond with live media processing, writing through and reconfiguring the live events of the festival for audiences online and in the theater. In the festival’s inaugural activity session, they present a participatory demonstration of the interactive interfaces and digital platforms they’ve designed to facilitate this media translation. As the demonstration gives way to interruptions and conversations, the Writers perform an exploration of how liveness—on stage, street, or screen—is itself defined by the glitches, feedback, fraudulence, and delay inherent to our daily technologies.
Joyce Cho
Activity Session: How to Write with Joyce Cho
4:30-5:30pm | Segal Theatre
Joyce Cho works on writing and staging plays that resist traditional staging and traditional structure. Come to the workshop and you'll find permission to write resistant plays. Joyce Cho is Scott Adkins, Kelly Copper, Rob Erickson, Karinne Keithley, Sibyl Kempson, and Amber Reed.
PROVOCATION
HERE
Activity Session: Lush Valley Camera's Eye
3:00-4:15pm | Segal Theatre
LUSH VALLEY is a live art performance that chases the elusive idea of the American Dream, an idea born with our founding that remains our central driving myth. Why does belief in the “Dream” leave us with both shattered illusions & continued hope? Join us for a close look at your own identity and that of other Americans.
Aaron Landsman
Activity Session: City Council Meeting
4:15-5:30pm | C-Level Room
City Council Meeting is a new performance and media work supported by an artist residency at HERE. Democracy burlesque? Social sculpture? Theater of bureaucracy? This piece invites citizen viewers to come into a room together and decide how you want to be in power.
The Field ERPA Artists
Activity Session: ERPA Action Tank
4:30-5:30pm | Segal Theatre
The ERPA Action Tank is an entrepreneurial skill-building workshop modeled after “speed dating.” Sit down with ERPA awardees as they share their golden nuggets of expertise with marathon speed! Learn how these artists are inventing new ways to make money from their art, for their art.
SIMULATION
Joe Silovsky
Activity Session: Creating Analog Simulations/how to build a bomb
3:00-4:00pm | Segal Theatre
Joe will be working with audience members to build cardboard replicas of the infamous Gimbel's mail bombs from that era. As they build, audience members will also be learning about the various ways Joe has used the materials of his craft from jack-in-the-box suitcases and hand crafted card-board cut outs to motorized robots and wireless cameras projecting images of tiny model people moving through 1:1 scaled miniature landscapes. The workshop will be an unveiling of how Joe uses a mixture of analog and digital technologies to create distractable, irreverent and sometimes destructive simulations of the histories his performances explore.
Kimon Keramidas
Activity Session: Flip-> Cut -> Post -> Press: A crashcourse in performance, digital media and the Internet.
4:15-5:30pm | Segal Theatre
It is undeniable that the nature of performance is changing in the twenty-first century. Just as an increasingly networked population is demanding that new kinds of media, alternative modes of spectacle, and participatory practices be incorporated in live events, the Internet has made it possible for performance artists and theatre companies to not only reach broader audiences through marketing and promotion, but to expand their creative breadth.
In a response to these new times, Kimon Keramidas will lead an activity session which displays some ways that theatre and performance artists can use affordable and accessible technologies to quickly, record, manipulate, and distribute digital media. Kimon will show how simple it can be to use inexpensive video and audio recorders and digital cameras in conjunction with simple digital editing software and publishing platforms to rapidly extend the presence of performance into the digital realm.
