Artist Series Talk: Ann Carlson
Thursday, January 22
4:30-5:30 pm, Nevins Theater, Powell Campus Center
Award-winning interdisciplinary artist Ann Carlson shares an intimate artist talk shaped by storytelling, embodied research, and live reflection. Drawing from four decades of work across dance, performance, visual art, and socially engaged practice, Carlson approaches practice as ceremony, risk as a material condition for making, and unlearning as both an artistic and ethical necessity.
Moving between images, anecdotes, and thinking in real time, the talk considers how performance operates as a tool for attention-interrupting habit, testing form, and opening space for uncertainty and not-knowing.
Less a lecture than a shared studio encounter, this event invites artists, makers and thinkers across disciplines to reflect on how we practice, what we risk, and what we might need to let go of to begin again.

Just a quick reminder when requesting pre-approval for travel expenses in Chrome River: please include two extra days at the start and end of your trip. This helps ensure all charges process smoothly before the card is closed. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

The University Events Calendar on alfred.edu is a central place where external audiences discover what's happening across campus. The Office of Marketing and Communications encourages all departments, offices, and student organizations to submit their Events. Submitting an Event helps maximize visibility, increases awareness, and ensures that they appear on relevant listings across university webpages. Any Event that is open to the campus community at large or the public (including lectures, performances, workshops, information sessions, home sports games, etc.) can be added to the Calendar!
Any campus community member can submit Events by following our documentation linked below. All Events submitted will be reviewed for approval before publishing to the Calendar. Please note that "Events" are not "Announcements." Events take place at a specific location, on a given date(s) and time. If your information doesn't have a location, date and time, then it is probably an announcement and may not be approved for the Events Calendar. Please submit Events at least 3 days in advance to allow time for review and promotion. If you have any questions, contact [email protected].
Thank you for helping keep our campus informed and connected. We look forward to sharing your events!
