Queering the Canon for Care – Curated Panel

Eliza Ladd Schwarz asks: Is Men On Boats a queering of the canon? Considering the impact on both audience and actors, what is the significance of female and non-binary actors playing historical male adventurers in a play about the 1869 White American exploration of the Grand Canyon? How is our understanding of history changed by this casting? What new experience does it offer the actors? Does it provide the audience with an expanded understanding of women and non-binary people?

Colloquium Re-Ignite – Movement as Medicine
Digging Deep: The Body as Palimpsest

Eliza Ladd Schwarz will lead an experiential workshop digging (both literally and metaphorically), as an embodied physical, spiritual, communal, and theatrical act offering opportunities for holistic healing. Participants and witnesses will collaboratively develop performance content (movement, sound, text, and song) that will unearth personal, collective, ancestral, and imagined artifacts, stories, materiality, and movement-based memory. In this on the spot memorial, excavation and celebration of life and its comings and goings, participants will embody roles of path-walker, mark maker, dirt-digger, stone carrier, voice voyager, circle mover, light shiner, witness writer, and still runner.
