About BUILT
With Evanston & Chicago, Hartford, CT and Portland, Oregon as a lens, BUILT explores the changing United States City, and the challenges housing, infrastructure, neighborhood cohesion, and equity all present as our population exponentially increases in the coming years. It is a public series of research, installation, dialogue, interview and performance events of varied scale leading up to a culminating theatrical event/production in Portland, Oregon in early September 2008.
In Evanston/Chicago, the main partners were Northwestern University's School of Communication and The Boeing Company. In Hartford, HartBeat Ensemble. And in Portland, the project was commissioned by the South Waterfront's Artist-In-Residence program, curated by Linda K. Johnson, and will be presented by PICA as part of their 2008 TBA Festival.
The project brings artists and community members together for creative activity and dialogues. The public conversations will examine issues of development, ethics, responsibility and vision. History. Economics. Demographic changes. Social Forces. Our intention is to learn about the vastly complex journeys that have made cities what they are today; to explore the daily personal, civic & economic choices that determine how contemporary cities function; and, to explore how people and institutions imagine the future of cities and communities as the question: where will we live? becomes more pressing than ever before.
This Project is not an advocacy or activist project for a particular point of view on these issues.
This project is an exploration, expression and interrogation of the diverse array of histories, voices and perspectives that surround these issues.
It is a civic inquiry, with theatre acting as the central medium through which a participatory inquiry takes place.
