Dana Salisbury Open Rehearsal

Apr 29

Unseen Dances are dances to be experienced by blindfolded audiences. Dancers reveal themselves and define speed, space, location, distance, architecture, and bodily effort through air currents, touch, and sound. The audience is placed within the action and periodically moved, shifting their relationship to the space and one another. Each dance is site- and audience-specific.

The event is free, but you must RSVP to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

Access Restricted: “Re-presentations and Identities: Depicting Justice in Courts”

Apr 28

Featured speaker: Judith Resnik, Arthur Liman Professor of Law, Yale Law School

This discussion, based on the forthcoming book, Representing Justice: From Nascent City-States to Guantanamo Bay (by Judith Resnik and Dennis E. Curtis, Yale Press, 2010), will examine the deployment of images, across time and place, aiming to identify buildings as courts and courts as about justice. The setting will be one of the jewels of “The City Beautiful Movement,” an elaborately decorated courthouse, which is featured in Resnik’s book as one of the several sites in which early 20th-century choices of images prompted conflict, and in this case, the removal of one of the statues on the court’s rooftop.
