Come explore different gestures of movement through the lens of puppetry, performance, and vogue with Theresa-Xuan Bui as a means of understanding one’s relationship to self and how we move about the world. Theresa will first teach the fundamental philosophies of puppetry, performance, vogue, and how they correlate. We will then explore varied movement sets exemplifying how these art forms can translate to one’s body. The class will conclude with open time to simply practice and reflect amongst each other. Welcome to all regardless of skill set in artistry, fitness, and/or dance. Advance registration is required.
Location: Main Campus. Look for Craigardan Event sign at the end of Main Campus driveway (two “doors” west of the farm store, towards Keene). Google Maps Link

Theresa-Xuan Bui (they/them), is a queer non-binary Vietnamese-American artist questioning the intersections of the personal and political as a means to critically imagine the future. Through drawing and dancing, they translate their embodied practice into performances of language and sound. They are a princess of the Bui household, a legacy of Vietnamese refugees and vanguard Asian-Americans. Born and raised in Bronx, NY, Theresa moved to Houston, TX before pursuing a BFA at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MIC/A). Beyond their artistic practice, they love listening to poetry podcasts, learning about sustainability, brainstorming ontological concepts, belting power ballads, and talking about love. Theresa is Craigardan’s administrative coordinator.
