I Left Neither my Bed Nor my Room
Calling Up Justice friend of the practice Terri Lynne Hudson is featuring an exciting multimedia piece in December that you must attend. Her 3Arts Fellowship will culminate in an asynchronous multimedia experience on Thursday, December 12. Claudia Alick has had the pleasure of directing her devised piece that includes original music, art, movement, and text.
Neither Bed Nor Room is a work in progress livestreamed from Terri’s home, with a live in-person, masks required watch party at UIC. For people who can’t make it during the livestream, there will be a recording of the performance posted later. She is also creating an art installation that will be present at UIC and it will travel to several other locations throughout the city over the following months. The installation is a reflection of and companion piece to the performance. One of the goals in this process was to create art that could be accessible to people for whom time, space, physical presence, visualizing or listening may limit how they experience art.

Terri Lynne Hudson will be doing a multimedia solo performance (with asynchronous collaboration) exploring isolation, the nondisabled gaze on disabled life, and revealing the internal life, imagination and creativity that can happen both when accommodations are offered and when they are denied and disabled people have to carve out their own worlds apart from general public life.
