MAGNETIC NORTH
PERFORMING A SELF
WEDNESDAY,
OCTOBER 18, 2000,
7 PM
$6 ($3 WALKER MEMBERS)
AUDITORIUM

|
This collection of works displays a variety of approaches to identity,
self, and cultural translation. Performance, in many guises--the acting
of character, confessional self-revelation, historical reenactment, gestural
or conceptual activities--is foregrounded, and the process of generating
an often mutable self is made visible as an ongoing and performative undertaking.
Program length 86 minutes.
