Two Pittsburgh artists seek pairs or groups of Portland locals to participate in city-wide art project, We Were Here. On Sunday, May 15, the pairs will share a dance in the location where they first met, with musical accompaniment, while sharing the story of their relationship with the public.
If you have an interesting story about meeting a parent/child, friend, spouse, landlord, or just about anyone who’s had a great impact on you, we’d like to hear from you. Please contact us at we.were.here.pdx@gmail.com for more information.
We Were Here is a project of Dawn Weleski (
http://www.conflictkitchen.org and
http://www.busstopopera.com) and M. Callen (
http://m-callen.com) and will take place during the Open Engagement Symposium (
http://openengagement.info/), a symposium of socially engaged art work, May 13-15.
Comments
Why not ask people to share their stories and then have Dawn and M. Callen (or professional dancers) do the dancing?
(another hurdle is that during open engagement there are a LOT of requests for volunteers!)
mayb we should sell tix this time
