The Tufts Environmental Studies Program Lecture Series presents “A Celebration of and for Trees: Creating Eco-Performance.” The term “eco theater” was coined in the 1980s to describe environmentally-aware performance. How can performance artists participate in environmental activism in effective ways, while including multiple political and aesthetic viewpoints? How can we develop a physical practice that keeps our bodies attuned to the natural world on a day-to-day level? This discussion will focus on eco theater and the translation of personal encounters with the natural world into physical and kinetic expression.

Free and open to the public; registration is only required for virtual attendees.
