UPRISING: 2008 monthly performances presented by Links Hall
In 2008, Nicole Garneau will create UPRISING: monthly, site-specific performance works broadly exploring the practice of revolution. 2008 is 40 years since 1968, a year of worldwide revolutionary activity. In 2008, activists, historians, and cultural workers are contemplating the meanings and implications of this 40-year anniversary. Many comparisons are being made between 1968 and 2008. Some call for “re-creations” of 1968.

Rather than attempting to re-create 1968, UPRISING performances will create public demonstrations of the possibilities for a more loving, just and humane present and future. They will be attempts at making the world in which we want to live, and then inviting people directly and immediately inside it. Performances will be marked consistently by a commitment to flexible structure, ambitious intentions, and sense of humor.

We are currently seeking volunteer performers/participants for UPRISING events! If you want to be a part of the action, Email Nicole. nicolegarneau13 [at] sbcglobal.net.
