Start summer with live arts that shift how we think.
Across the globe, humans struggle to find balance in our relationship with nature. How can a quest for dominance transform into a sustainable collaboration? In SHIFT 2019, artists take on the Anthropocene with 10 days of events that explore the push and pull of that Human/Nature bond. The festival is bookended by two powerful musicians who speak to what it means to be an American in 2019—a theme we'll return to in our 2019/20 season programming.
Celebrate arts in dialogue throughout SHIFT with Dartmouth faculty collaborators:
Amy Garapic, Director, Performance Lab in Contemporary Music, music lecturer
John Heginbotham, Director, Dartmouth Dance Ensemble, theater lecturer

Jodie Mack, Associate Professor of Film & Media Studies
