Scrap Performance Group performs "TIDE"

 

A performance of "TIDE" by the Scrap Performance Group, a five-woman,
movement-based theater troupe, which integrates dance, theatre, film,
light, text and sound in dynamic ways that cross the traditional
boundaries of genre and builds experiential environments for its
audiences. Scrap members share a common aesthetic and awareness of
contemporary culture and draw from diverse viewpoints to create work
that provokes, inspires and compels people to question. 

 

Under the leadership of Scrap Performance Group Directors Myra Bazell
and Madison Cario, students contributed to the development of this
professional work-in-progress through an interdisciplinary workshop
referred to as The Foundry. Using the skills developed within their
previous course work and life experiences, students explored the themes
that contributed to this unique dance-based cross-media performance,
focusing on the reciprocal impact humans and the natural environment
have on each other.

 

The performance will be followed by a talk-back session and reception,
where student projects developed in The Foundry will also be on display.
