SUMMARY:Performance:\"People Are Things\" – Devised
DESCRIPTION:Undergraduate student Tiara Partsch directs this senior thesis show\, a performance of the devised work\, *People Are Things*.\n\nSylvie is a woman like any other. She does not cry when her husband leaves her\; in fact\, she does not say a word – that is\, until she slips a knife in her bag\, before heading out to work. \n\nAs she navigates presence\, absence and their respective boundaries\, Sylvie finds herself on the edge of the world: although no one *really* gets hurt\, this story deals in all-absorbing violence\, the silent kind: the kind which Sylvie finds in every area of her life\, her marriage\, her house\, her employer – an existential violence she attempts (and fails) to contain and define. *People Are Things* is a study of silence. The aura of it\; the sound it might long for at night.\n\nPresented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre Performance: Directing.\n

SUMMARY:Performance:MA in Media Arts Thesis Performance: SinYu Deng
DESCRIPTION:*Bare Display* is an avant-garde interactive immersive dance performance\, set to unfold in the Brehm Technology Suite on April 13 and 14 at 7:00 pm. Presented by SinYu Deng\, candidate for the MA in Media Arts in the Department of Performing Arts Technology.\n\nThis provocative piece delves deep into the commodification and objectification of the human body within society\, presenting a critical examination of how bodies are standardized\, traded\, and valued as mere objects awaiting utilitarian use. It confronts the audience with the unsettling reality of bodies transformed into standardized commodities\, subject to scrutiny\, control\, and consumption.\n\nThrough the medium of dance\, performers in *Bare Display* become the observed\, symbolizing victims confined within the spectacle of the stage. This performance serves as a stark mirror\, reflecting the harsh truths about societal norms and the commodification practices that dehumanize and depersonalize the individual. Incorporating a blend of sound\, visual effects\, and motion capture technology\, *Bare Display* not only challenges but also immerses the audience in a narrative centered around the 'body' as the main axis of the exhibition.\n\nThis daring exploration invites viewers to reconsider the value and autonomy of the human form in a digitized and scrutinized world. *Bare Display* aims to provoke thought\, stir debate\, and inspire a reevaluation of the roles that bodies play in a consumer-driven culture\, highlighting the often overlooked implications of treating bodies as exhibits to be observed\, judged\, and utilized.
