DIS/UNITY: AN INVITATION, an 80-minute site-adaptive interdisciplinary performance project, will be performed at Grinnell College on Friday, September 14. The event, which is free and open to the public, will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Room 154 of the Bucksbaum Center for the Arts, 1108 Park Street, Grinnell.  Baker & Tarpaga Dance Project is an award-winning transnational dance theatre project based in Philadelphia, PA and Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Propelled Animals is an interdisciplinary artist collective centered on arts and social justice. These collaborative artists are: Barber (Detroit), Esther Baker-Tarpaga (Philadelphia), Heidi Wiren Bartlett (Pittsburgh), and Papa Djiga (Ouagadougou). Their backgrounds range from dance, visual and performance art, to music and the written word. Their work is centered on art as social action and ritual as performance. Encouraging audiences to consider the efficacy of the body, resilience, protest, and radical tenderness as strategies to fight oppression.

This presentation is supported by the Arts Midwest Touring Fund, a program of Arts Midwest that is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, with additional contributions from the Center for Humanities, Center for Prairie Studies, Public Events, and the Crane Group.

The College welcomes the presence of minors at all age-appropriate public events and for informal visits, with the understanding that a parent, legal guardian, or other responsible adult assumes full responsibility for their child’s safety and behavior during such visits or events. In these cases the College expects that an adult responsible for the visiting child takes measures to ensure the child’s safety and sees that the child complies with directions of College personnel. Grinnell College is not responsible for supervision of minors on campus.
