Miscegenations: Digital Story Telling Workshop (Spring 2008)

The Performance Ensemble welcomed guest artists Dr. Elizabeth Whitney and Lea Robinson to conduct an intensive four-day performance workshop on Digital Storytelling. Digital storytelling encourages participants to utilize voice, narrative, and images as a way to articulate personal experience through new media performance. Because digital storytelling is process-based, it facilitates thoughtful inquiry and encourages participants to consider each step in the process of creating critically driven, creative work. Thus, the digital story emerges through careful consideration of personal experience in a larger cultural context. Elizabeth and Lea worked tirelessly alongside our students to create a wonderful show. For more information see www.miscegenations.com.
