Welcome to Border Crossing!

This studio class draws on an eclectic blend of original research-based performance exercises investigating “living dioramas.” The techniques evolve from sacred and intimate spaces of human presence, to baroque, highly aesthetic and politicized performances of living murals, human altars, and performance jam sessions. Students create “hybrid personas,” short performances, spoken word texts, and/or visual media pieces based on their own complex identities and personal sense of politics, race, and gender. Here we will create a collective archive of our work and inspiration. Stay tuned!
