In a time of environmental and political crises, can séance, spirituality, and performance intersect to provide models for political action and contemplative inquiry? <A HREF="http://www.ciis.edu/about-ciis/the-arts-at-ciis/arts-at-ciis-events/dancing-with-the-so-called-dead" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dancing With The So Called Dead</A> is a month long festival of workshops and public conversation that examines the intersections of performance making and mediumship.
The <A HREF="https://ciis.edu/mfa" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">MFA Program in Theatre-Performance Making</A>, and <A HREF="https://ciis.edu/arts" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Arts at CIIS</A> are proud to host some of the most dynamic and thought-provoking voices in contemporary performance art: Peggy Phelan (Unmarked, Mourning Sex, Live Art: LA) will deliver a keynote address; Guillermo Gómez-Peña will lead an immersive workshop on performance and the body as a site for imagination, reinvention, activism and radical spirituality, culminating in the creation of a performative human altar referencing the Mexican tradition of Dia de los Muertos.; and artists Amara Tabor-Smith, Leslie Hill and Helen Paris (Curious), Sean San José, and Dohee Lee offer workshops and public conversations that mine the (im)materiality of performance through investigations of passing, loss, memory, mourning, death, and dedication.
