ReWritten, Work in Progress Showing with Artists in Residence Matthew Cumbie and Diane Samuels

Join dancemakers Tom Truss and Matthew Cumbie and visual artist Diane Samuels for “ReWritten, a works-in-progress” showing that shares aspects of their performance and community engagement project. ReWritten uses the often silenced intimate relationship between Herman Melville and Nathaniel Hawthorne as a portal to reflect on friendship, writing, social morés, and notions of queerness. As part of the evening, you’ll be invited to share your ideas and feedback through a facilitated conversation to help inform and further shape the development of this work. This event invites audiences to tune in virtually and in-person, so that they might continue connecting with a national network of artists, scholars and those interested in ReWritten; so that they can meet new people and hear new ideas; and, so that they can ensure our full creative team that stretches from Texas to Maine is present.
