Thursdays at Four with Emily Johnson on SHORE

Emily Johnson is an artist who makes body-based work. SHORE is the third in a trilogy of works that began with The Thank-you Bar and continued with Niicugni. SHORE is a multi-day performance installation of dance, story, volunteerism, and feasting. It is a celebration of the places where we meet and merge - land and water, performer and audience, art and community, past, present, and future. Johnson will share her research and performance making processs via story, image, truth, and myth.
