 Thurs Mar 5 - A Host of People // The Modern Women w/ Special Event by Seraphine Collective:
A Host of People presents a theatrical performance that showcases the work, lives, and passions of important but sometimes unsung women artists of the last 100 years. The Modern Woman is an immersive experience set in a home, where every room corresponds to a different decade between the 1910s and the 2010s and is inhabited by different women artists, past and present. During the course of the piece, the audience will see work inspired by such artists as Emmy Hennings, Katherine Dunham, Maya Deren, and Yvonne Rainer among many others. Through looking at these modern women, A Host of People seeks to put a renewed focus on women who push the envelope in their work, in both content and form, and the contributions females have historically made and continue to make, socially and artistically.
*Special event featuring a pre-show set by Seraphine Collective on Thursday March 5th at 7:30; The Modern Woman to follow. Featuring performance artist Emily Roll and musician Izzy Johnson at 7:30 and 8 pm respectively.
