BACKSTORY

Earlier in the summer I had a meeting with Robin Cox and Benjamin Smith, both IUPUI faculty. They were asked to bring their Big Tent system to Lotus Festival next fall and wanted to start a dialogue with IU faculty and students about creating new work to premiere at the 2018 Lotus Festival. The three of us see this opportunity as a chance to get people from SOAAD, Music, INFO, Theater, and MSCH together and collaborate on a variety of projects.

Colleagues from MSCH, Music, and SOAAD have answered the call and will show/perform their work next week. Bring a friend, bring your students, or simply visit on your own if you have any interest in research or creative work in this area.
