Are you inspired to make change? Do you enjoy learning from creative people who care about the world around them?
 
Join us for Art + Action and discover how performance art can help us better understand ourselves, our communities, and the world we share. Explore how the body can communicate as an art form through movement, sound, costume, and photography to portray something important or tell a story. Students will explore the history of performance art, meet contemporary artists working in performance and other time-based media, experiment with their own creative ideas, and develop an original performance inspired by the change they hope to see in the world.
 
Throughout the session, regional artists and scholars working in performance, video, photography, sound, and other time-based media will visit the class to share their work and lead interactive workshops. Together, we'll explore how artists respond to ideas and issues such as identity, community, technology, the environment, and social change. The class will culminate in a student performance to be shared with family and friends during the final session.
 
This fall's Art + Action class is inspired by the work of internationally acclaimed performance artist Miles Greenberg, whose solo exhibition of immersive video installations is on view at The Current through October 17. Greenberg's work grows out of his durational performances, drawing on mythology, storytelling, and identity to explore the body as a powerful medium for expression and transformation.
