The Performance Ecology Project

The Performance Ecology Project

A collaboration with Cooperative Performance and Quasimondo Physical Theatre

hosted by the Urban Ecology Center - Riverside October 15-29

What happens when you loose a band of talented, creative performing artists into the wild? Milwaukee will soon find out.

The Performance Ecology Project is a research project/performance that explores how somatic practices can enhance our experience of meaning and value in living nature. Over five weekends this Fall, three actors, a dancer, a musician, and two poets met near the Riverside Branch of the Urban Ecology Center. Local professional teachers led them in sessions of yoga, tai chi, mindfulness, improvisational movement, and theater games. Then, with senses open, the performers went into the woods, seeking encounters with other creatures. With the help of guest director Brian Rott of Quasimondo Physical Theatre, their stories, songs, and poems will go into a “performance report” of their journeys.
