1/24-2/4
The first of a 5-part series at Cleveland Public Theatre called “The Elements Cycle,” dealing with the environment and our place in the world, Water Ways is a collaboration between CPT and Oberlin College and Conservatory’s OASIS (Oberlin ArtS Intensive Semester) program, a cross-disciplinary and inter-departmental approach to learning and creating work.
Cool Cleveland got to walk through a couple of the multiple venues that audiences will experience throughout the CPT campus, as Chris Seibert of CPT and Oberlin dance student Samantha Bergman introduce us to Water Ways and the compelling story of our deep connection to water, who owns it, how to protect it and how to divide it amongst ourselves. The show runs through Mon 2/4/13 at CPT.
Also in on the collaboration from Oberlin: Rian Brown-Orso (cinema & new media); Tom Lopez (computer music & digital arts); Nusha Martynuk & Carter McAdams (dance); and Geoff Pingree (cinema studies & English). From CPT: Raymond Bobgan (Executive Artistic Director) & Chris Seibert (Education Director).
Water Ways is part of the year-long city-wide celebration Present and Accounted, a celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Cleveland Performance Art Festival (1988-99), which includes performance art activity throughout 2013 at venues such as MOCA, SPACES, The Sculpture Center, Cleveland State University, Cuyahoga Community College, The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland Institute of Art, Oberlin College and others. http://www.PresentAndAccounted.org
