Cornish alumni participating in this year’s festival, June 10 through 19:
Jessica Jobaris (DA ’97) - You’re the stuff that sets me free: Eight performers cope with crisis as they hilariously wrestle with the metaphysical and psycho-therepy.
Haruko Nishimura (MU ’92-’93) – Grandmother Mothra’s Mercurial Tale: A broken doll rises in this re-imagined fairytale combining dance and a live string quartet.
Jeppa Hall (TH ‘97-‘98) – FINGER Songbook: Old-fashioned murder ballads and death metal influence this psychedelic madrigal reinvention of story and sound.
