Performance Space 122

CONVERSATIONS WITH CULTURE

A series of FREE public panel discussions engaging non-performing arts community members in a dialogue about the art, politics, and life that happens on our stages. These discussions endeavor to reinsert performance into the cultural, economic, and environmental debates coursing through contemporary society, from which it has recently largely been excluded.

Upcoming:

• NEXT CONVERSATION TBA SOON

Past Conversations:

• Wednesday, December 9: "Contemporary Performance and the Multi-Verse" at The Sony Wonder Lab (550 Madison Ave, NY) Inspired by Lisa D'Amour & Katie Pearl's Terrible Things
• Tuesday, October 20: "Contemporary Performance and God" with Jay Wegman, John Merz, Michael De Dora and Morgan Thorson at the 11th Street Bar (East 11th St btwn avenues A & B)
