Experiencing Medieval Durational Performance

Stephen Garone — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 16:30:00 +0000

Join us as 15 advanced history undergraduates do performance-as-research about medieval asceticism, investigating premodern people who wholly committed their lives to a single purpose: pilgrims (who walked long distances to special destinations), stylites (who stoically sat on the top of pillars in the desert as exemplars of humility), hermits (who were caretakers of the environment and their community), and anchorites (who permanently “buried” themselves in small huts so they could best meditate on death while still alive). Come explore a corner of our campus that students will transform into a learning laboratory where they investigate what it meant to live intentionally in the premodern world. Students will be on hand to explain the scholarly rigor of our embodied research methodologies and the premodern historical context, and they will also help facilitate any willing audience members’ participation in our performance-as-research.

Chrybaby Cozie: Chrysolation

Susan Landers — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 14:30:00 +0000

We are thrilled to extend complimentary tickets to our upcoming performance of Chrysolation. Please complete this no later than Tuesday, April 14.

Daniel “Chrybaby Cozie” Holloway is a Harlem-born pioneer of the Litefeet movement—a high-energy freestyle dance that emerged in the early 2000s as part of the continuum of hip-hop culture. Chrysolation, performed by Chrybaby Cozy and the renowned Bomb Squad, brings the origins & evolution of this vibrant NYC street dance tradition to the stage.

Chrysolation is an amalgamation of a 35-year-old developed freestyle approach. The root of this approach is hip-hop by way of Litefeet/Gettin Lite, implementing the utilization of New Jack Swing, Vernacular Jazz, Lindy Hop, House, and Top Rock (Breaking).
