Otto Muller (Faculty) reports that a 50-min choreographic piece, “Animal,” that he composed sound for premiered at Spruce Peak Performance Art Center in Stowe, Vermont, in April.  The choreographer, Hanna Satterlee, is a Goddard MFA-IA student. Otto collaborated on the sound with Sean Clute, a composer/sound artist who teaches at Johnson State College.
Baco Ohama (Faculty) received a Visual Arts Project Grant from the Canada Council for the Arts. Baco writes, “I’ll be focusing on themes of loss and beauty, intimacy, remnants, and the resonant found. As a part of this work, I’ll be heading back to Washington, D.C. to spend time with Martha (who of course was the last surviving passenger pigeon and who died more than a hundred years ago).” This spring, Baco also completed her artist bookwork, a frail history: thirteen poems disguised as a passage.
