(Re)Patterning Performance is a weekend curated by Lauren Digiulo which will explore the ways that language is inhabited, remixed, broken down, and retooled by the performing body in order to create new ways of thinking about who can speak, and how. It will explore the myriad methods by which the body as been “patterned”–socially, culturally, historically, and geographically–as a way of constricting the expression of subjective difference in the service of furthering hegemonic modes of domination, and seeks to explore tactics by which the body can be “re-patterned” to open out into a network of exchange among cultural communities, modes of self, and the ecological environment.

New Voices in Live Performance is a curatorial platform that invites a curator / artist / collective to organize a weekend-long program of public events at CPR – Center for Performance Research. Invited curators will address a particular inquiry within the expanded field of dance and performance, demonstrating a sense of research and serious play around the proposed question, topic, or theme. The resulting schedule of events and performances are open to the public, and the format is left to the curator’s discretion – it may include panels, workshops, performances, exhibitions, publications, installations, or other forms.
