Performance artist, comedian, and elected representative Kristina Wong is taking her raucous campaign online to arouse civic engagement and counter-hijack our democracy. Is she more effective as a performance artist or a politician? Is there actually a difference between performance art and politics?
This fall On the Boards will present the newest iteration of Andrew Schneider’s ACTING STRANGER, re-developed in partnership with Seattle-based artists Minna Lee and Fox Whitney, director and curator Raelle Myrick-Hodges, and produced in partnership with Los Angeles Performance Practice. The project will then embark on a national tour over the next two years, generating a living archive of our post-pandemic world.
Join us virtually on July 29, 2020 for a conversation with 8 Los Angeles-based artists as they share their current creative needs and curiosities, which may or may not include: using technology to decolonize theatre and escape the Western canon, question leadership and accountability in our major institutions, artists as social workers, resiliency, our changing isolated bodies, nature and spirituality, systems, time, roots, funghi, repetition, and the microfauna growing on all of us.
