MULTIMEDIA PERFORMANCE: A POWERFUL TOOL TO BUILD ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP APPEALING TO THE SENSES
Mapping the River is a performance about water and culture. A team of University of Michigan faculty and students produced the multimedia piece. Collaboration includes choreography, poetry, music, visual arts and ecology and uses the Huron River as model. It was part of Arts on Earth, a University of Michigan initiative linking arts and sciences, dedicated in 2008 to Arts and the Environment. The endless cycle of water inspires the work: rainfall seeping into the ground to form the headwaters stream that becomes the Huron, which flows into the Great Lakes and on to the ocean, where rain renews the cycle. The narrative maps the river from headwaters to Lake Erie and tells stories along the way. Our goal was to celebrate water and to speak to the central role rivers play as they run through lives of humans and other life forms. The challenge embraced was to educate about cultural activities effects on the environment without tuning out the audience and to inspire them to be better stewards. We will document the collaborative process and challenges, lessons learned, and public responses.
