Summary:

[where•else] is the School of Theatre’s first Community Based Theatre Project as part of our production season. Led by professor Robi Arce-Martínez, students from UNCG will embark on a journey using storytelling, multiple disciplines, interviews from their communities, and lived experiences to create a new devised performance from the ground up at the Elsewhere Museum in downtown Greensboro!

What is the Elsewhere Museum?

Elsewhere is a living museum, artist residency, and learning laboratory set within a three-story former thrift store in Greensboro, North Carolina. The building houses an immense collection of things amassed by Sylvia Gray, who gathered wares over the course of 58-years. The store was once a furniture store, fabric store, surplus and secondhand store. The space now provides a context for site-specific experimentation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and public participation.

The rule at Elsewhere is that everything that is being created in the residencies need to incorporate objects that are already in the building. Example: If one artist stages their performance with a door nailed down to a chair, the next artist in residence could come in, destroy it and create something new with the parts. The Elsewhere Museum operates in an eternal cycle of creativity, destruction and creation. For more go to: www.elsewheremuseum.org
