DiverseWorks on Wednesdays

11.13.13 DWOW: Dance, Disaster, and Show and Tell, hosted by Artist Board members Lydia Hance, Hélène Schlumberger, and Carrie Schneider

This DWOW mash-up includes:
DANCE
A screening of Lydia Hance’s dance films Framing Bodies: LOVE ME, There’s a Height Limit, and Quiver

DISASTER REENACTMENTS
Artist Elizabeth Eicher’s Disaster Reenactment is a series of events wherein the audience is invited to reenact scenes, moments, actions, or tableaus based on footage from major picture disaster films (think Volcano, Armageddon, The Towering Inferno, etc.). Eicher selects clips from these films and coordinates the reenactments, leaving the audience to make directorial decisions about how to portray the events. Participants gain a renewed sense of agency by embodying the boundaries and roles enacted within the disaster narrative.

SHOW AND TELL
Come prepared to present a 3-minutes max Show and Tell on any object of your choosing. Be on time to participate, because sign-ups start at 6 pm. The audience will vote on finalists, who will compete in a lightning round and take home a special prize!

DWOW is sponsored in part by Saint Arnold Brewing Company and Topo Chico USA.
