Emerson Black & White Ball
TRISTAN: Si c’est bien c’est blanc – si non, c’est noir.
WHITEHANDS:Â The ship will hoist a white sail if she is coming,
a black sail if she is not.
TRISTAN:Â Noir ou blanc? Noir ou blanc?
Months before each production in our season appears on our stages, the staff at ArtsEmerson conducts a Page One Conversation with the artists involved. A Page One Conversation is exactly what it sounds like – an opportunity for us all to get on the same page about their production coming to ArtsEmerson. In these conversations, we ask the artists about the seeds of the piece – the why and the what – but we also ask them to define their vision of success while they are in Boston.
When we spoke with Emma Rice and Paul Crewes of Kneehigh, they both emphasized how much the original impulse of the production to was to create an environment that felt like a party from start to finish. In an effort to honor their desires and harness the excitement coming from Emerson students surrounding the show, we at the Office of the Arts are teaming up with two student organizations to host a Black & White Ball for the Emerson student body following the first performance.
This is a first for us – an event that is inspired by one of our productions here at ArtsEmerson but made by and for Emerson Students!
Thursday March 5th, immediately following the performance of Tristan & Yseult
Jackie Liebergott Black Box, Paramount Center
Hosted by ArtsEmerson, Kappa Gamma Chi and 5 Cent Sound Magazine
