Abstract
Us in a Small World is an event of environmentalist performance art at Wild Goose Creative, co-produced by Livable Futures, a project of the Global Arts and Humanities Discovery Theme, and The Ohio State University Honors & Scholars Center. It was scheduled for March 29th, 2020, at 4 & 6 pm. However, due to the spread of COVID-19, this performance was canceled. The show design featured personal and solicited choreography, dance film, and music that deals with environmentalist themes. My personal choreographic project is an approximately fifteen-minute work built from five duets, each made with a different co-creator and drawing inspiration from a different animal. The overarching research question is how a piece of art can remind the audience and participants that they are a part of and connected to the natural world. The main objective of the work is to call for environmentally conscious action.
