For Tisch's Week of Community, the Departments of Performance Studies and Art & Public Policy are gathering artists to discuss how they are creating, performing, and enacting during this pandemic. Is solo work the foreseeable future of performance? How might one work within and beyond the solo form? What other possibilities might exist? Speakers who work across genres from theater, performance art, dance, and drag will discuss their respective practices today; and we hope to have a larger conversation together about the future of performance!

While performance continues to ontologically transform with the digital rupture taking place since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, and as theatres continue to remain shut, as borders continue to be more unjust limiting the mobility of those deemed unfavorable, and with proxy wars in Nagorno-Karabakh or in Yemen challenging how we can think of subjectivities and national frameworks of identity politics, PRICKS gathers thinkers to share their knowledge and to question modes of producing and disseminating knowledge at times of extreme crisis. This event was curated my Ph.D. candidate, Adham Hafez.
