Machinima for the "Shaping Identity" Panel
Creating and Acting Identity: Practice-As-Research Symposium:
a one-day interdisciplinary symposium,
October 22, 2010, University of California, Davis.
Web site: http://tinyurl.com/366ohan
Excerpt:
"Creating and Acting Identity: Practice-As-Research fuses historical, aesthetic, theoretical, psychological and imaginative investigations into the enactment of identity, while simultaneously examining the nature of practice-as-research. This interdisciplinary symposium was initially prompted by the research of Dr Bella Merlin -- Professor of Acting at UC Davis -- into the life of Tilly Wedekind, actress-wife of German playwright, Frank Wedekind (1864-1918) (author of Lulu and Spring Awakening). Merlin's research comes to fruition this October 2010 in the play, Tilly No-Body: Catastrophes of Love, which runs in tandem with this symposium."
