Convergence Research | Ritual, Featuring Mitchell Center Scholars in Residence

Date:

Thursday, April 16, 2025 | 6pm-7pm

Location:

Blaffer Art Museum

Format:

Sounds are linked and wired. Objects are circled and thrown. Bodies sway left and right and then we stop and begin again. Immerse yourself in a chamber of contribution, echoes, and artistry with this month’s Convergence Research. Ritual is a collaborative sound-based performance created by Mitchell Center Scholars in Residence Bradley Atuba (School of Theatre & Dance), Chelsea de Souza (Moores School of Music), Nathaniel Donnett (School of Art) and Connor Greer (Creative Writing Program). Audience feedback will generate the foundation for this experimental and participatory work.

What is Convergence Research

Convergence Research is a collaboration between the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts and the Blaffer Art Museum that supports students and faculty in the McGovern College of the Arts to explore connection and collaboration between the disciplines in the arts and beyond. It is a platform for experimentation and research with the goal of providing opportunities to push the boundaries of the artistic disciplines. Convergence Research promotes interdisciplinary inquiry and techniques to stimulate creative process and cultivate works that are performative, temporary and in any stage of process.
