Performance Studies alum Biba Bell (M.A. '07, Ph.D. '15), will present the third piece in a dance-dream cycle that's been in process in 2019, in collaboration with Wayne State University.
A DREAM IS A HOUSE for remembering the future, created in collaboration by Wayne State University (WSU) professors Dr. Biba Bell (Dance) and Joo Won Park (Music), is an hour-long immersive performance created for twenty-one WSU dancers and the WSU Electronic Music Ensemble in Minoru Yamasaki’s McGregor Conference Center atrium. A DREAM IS A HOUSE brings sound, light, movement, embodiment, and storytelling together in the cathedral-esque modernism of Yamasaki’s architecture, evoking creative research driven by memory palaces, buildings as bodies, dream scenes, dancing with ghosts, and personal and collective ritual making.
if you are not local, WSU will be working with a cinematographer to make a video of the event for future sharing. This event is accessible and free for all.
