Changing the World with Michael Mayhew
Saturday 13 February, South Dining Hall (next to Whitla Hall), Queen's University, 7:00 pm.
Public performance arising from Further Adventure in Interdisciplinarity. This is an adventure that desires to change the world in 2 days. An adventure is a 'risky' undertaking, possibly 'unlawful', it's meant to be 'exciting', and indeed 'wild', we are to take a 'chance', a 'gamble'. Manchester-based Michael Mayhew has extensive experience of working on challenging ideas within challenging locations around the world. MA students from a wide range of backgrounds studying on the new interdisciplinary arts pathways at Queen's embark upon a journey into the unknown... the students meet with visiting artists on a Friday lunchtime and by the end of Saturday they will have created an informal performance or installation or something else... to which you are invited.
