Join us Tuesday, April 4 from 4 - 5 PM in the Dampeer Room at Kelvin Smith Library for Exploring queer-trans intimacy, disability aesthetics, and community care in JC Pankratz’s Seahorse. A Talk. A Performance. A Gathering.
In this director’s talk, CWRU Humanities in Leadership Learning Series postdoctoral scholar, Nicolas Shannon Savard, will describe how feminist performance practice, queer theory, disability aesthetics, and principles of community-engaged artmaking informed their approach to the design and the collaborative process. The talk will offer behind-the-scenes insight into how the cast and crew of Seahorse has worked to bring the story to life in a way that prioritizes inclusion, collaboration, community care, and the well-being of both the artists and audience.
Discussion and light refreshments to follow.
This event is sponsored by the CWRU Humanities in Leadership Learning Series and Kelvin Smith Library and is associated with the performances of Seahorse at the Maelstrom theatre on April 7 and 8, 2023.
