READ NEWSLETTER
On behalf of the CEE, I want to welcome you to our theme year “Emergent Storytelling!” I greet you from the Andean-Amazonian foothills of Colombia where a festival was recently organized that included a carnival march, poetic conversations, music concerts, film screenings, photographic installations, and graphic design to accompany the collective struggle to defend the territory from the incursion of multinational industrial mining.

BE HOLDING // DIR. BY BROOKE O'hARRA 

Be Holding -- 2023 Philadelphia from Brooke O'Harra on Vimeo.

We are excited to share "Be Holding," the Philadelphia-based collaboration between Brooke O'Harra (CEE Affiliated Faculty), Ross Gay, Tyshawn Sorey, Yarn/Wire, and the students of Girard College. This original performance transforms Ross Gay's award-winning poem of the same name into a multidisciplinary, site-specific experience that combines poetry, music, choreography, and video.
