Performing Revolutionary

Art, Action, Activism

De: Nicole Garneau

Narrado por: Nicole Garneau

The result of five years of practice-based creative research focused on Nicole Garneau’s UPRISING project, Performing Revolutionary presents a number of methods for the creation of politically charged interactive public events in the style of a how-to guide. UPRISING, a series of public demonstrations in eight locations in the United States and five in Europe, involved thousands of voluntary participants who came together to create radical change through performance art. Bringing together accounts by participants, writers, theorists, artists, and activists, as well as critical essays, Performing Revolutionary offers a fresh perspective on the challenges of moving from critique to action.

Reading is a revolutionary act.

Nichole Garneau reads her own words—and those of others— in such a way as to infuse them with subtle shades of emotion and understanding that bring the content into the room with the listener. She invites us to consider creating new relationships with place, political ideas, people we don’t know, our assumptions, and the world of possibilities.
