MFA Project: ', `
or her capstone experience, MFA Candidate jiara sha completes and present a substantial MFA project demonstrating a synthesis of craft, artistic vision and conceptual rigor, as well as professional competence in her selected research area.
this begins when the sun is about to set and ends a little long while after it is dark.
you can curate your own beginning and ending, a suggested minimal experience duration is the time it takes for a candy (or someone suggests two!!) to melt in your mouth without chewing it 🍬, or the time it takes for you to let some thing in the space disintegrate 🕸️, or {other options that arise for you during your experience}, lingering longer is more than welcome.
(candies will be around if you find it please take the candies and leave the wrappers thanks :))
you are invited to touch (and be touched by) things in the space - some may be fragile, so calibrate your force, tuning your tone of touch; but you don't have to be too careful, things will disassemble and or disintegrate anyway. you may also hold, carry, move, rearrange, disassemble, {or any other action that occurs to you}...the performance is but an encounter with other bodies among stuff and what happens to occur, while registering your own sensory, somatic, attentional experience along the journey.
Location: the ceramic corridor is in the basement of Hopkins Hall. You can enter the building via the door facing oval, or the one by Annie and John Glenn Ave...see those two tiny arrows on the map - those are the two doors closest to the corridor, if you happen to end up somewhere else, little signs may be around inside to help you find your way, or just enjoy getting lost and wandering for a while ~
and doors may be automatically locked after 7pm, if you happen to arrive after, catch the door when someone is heading out, or maybe you wanna just peek inside, and, or try catching someone’s attention to be let in?!
For her capstone experience, MFA Candidate jiara sha completes and present a substantial MFA project demonstrating a synthesis of craft, artistic vision and conceptual rigor, as well as professional competence in her selected research area.
Students document the project with disc and written documentation, presenting one copy to the Department of Dance for the Music and Dance Library. The MFA oral examination includes a discussion and defense of the synthesis of craft, artistic vision and conceptual rigor as demonstrated in the project.
The event is free and open to the public.
