"It is In You: Health Justice Performance in Tanzania"

Date: Friday, April 16, 2010
Time: 2 PM
Place: Education Building 172

California State University-Fresno Department of Communication Presents

"It is In You: Health Justice Performance in Tanzania"
A performance in movement, spoken word and live music exploring the politics of development, HIV, and the body

Come, Watch, Enjoy, and Participate!!

Directed by Joseph Megel
By Marie Garlock
Created in collaboration with, and catalyzed by insight of Tanzanian educators, health justice and artistic activists

Inviting all invested in global and cultural studies, performance, public health, and community development to a performance of critical ethnography.

Marie Garlock comes alive in listening, movement and collaboration; and in art moving for new possibility, for health and for dignity. This has taken shape in modern and African dance, cultural and spiritual storytelling, composition of motion and spoken word, health justice/arts organizing, and the discovery of critical ethnography performance. She enjoys being able to question, envision and journey along with an audience, as part of an experience that breathes, coming alive in the vitality of bodies present with one another. Previously envisioning a career in law and politics, she is learning that performance is perhaps most practical in its humanity - effective and living because of the inextricable body, ever-questioning spirit and mind that yearns for expansion through the company of others. She is drawn to work that is magnetizing as it recognizes the capability of restlessness, goodwill and transferable knowledge in all of us. This is where art makes your heart leap; where the notion of justice compels art. In pursuit, solidarity, as witness, spark, as not just end, but beginning.

Garlock's recent work includes performing in a quartet of African, Balinese and Ballet/Modern Dance fused with Tai Chi, set by powerful South African choreographer Vincent Mantsoe; a staged reading of "Trojan Barbie," a feminist car crash encounter with Euripedes' "Trojan Women"; work with an interactive forum theatre group at UNC surrounding issues of sexuality, sexual assault, body image and race; and curation of a regional celebration of dance and best practices in direct-service HIV initiatives co-founded with Dr. Chuck Davis in 2006, the Triangle Dance Festival for AIDS.

Tomás and the Library Lady

Tomás is a son of migrant workers. Every summer he and his family follow the crops north from Texas to Iowa, spending long, arduous days in the fields. At night they gather around to hear Grandfather's wonderful stories. But before long, Tomás knows all the stories by heart. "There are more stories in the library," Papa Grande tells him. The very next day, Tomás meets the library lady and a whole new world opens up for him.

Date: Saturday, April 17th
