Goddard Alumni Art Project Awards
We are proud to announce alumna Hanna Satterlee (MFAIA-VT & WA ’16) and alumnus Eliot Gray Fisher (MFAIA–WA ’15), are the Fall 2016 recipients of the Goddard Alumni Art Project Awards.
For the last nine years Hanna Satterlee has experimented with still and moving images to tell stories or relay experiences. She has found that movement is relatable and an excellent tool for visually and compositionally communicating and relating to the world and to one another.
Hanna is a choreographer, performer, curator and teacher, who grew up in East Montpelier, Vermont. Hanna has produced choreographic and dance installation work, and has performed with professional companies in Baltimore, NYC, Brooklyn, San Francisco and throughout the State of Vermont. Now based in Vermont, Hanna is a guest artist at the University of Vermont, and the Director of the Vermont Dance Alliance, a newly re-formed network to expand and connect all Vermont-based dance artists. In addition, Hanna continues to teach, perform and collaborate on a freelance basis.
From September 2016 to June 2017 – with a team of dynamic video, music and dance collaborators – Hanna will be creating a series of three short dance videos on location in Vermont. Each place and season (fall, winter and spring) will be considered as characters in the stories. The videos will be edited using a collage-like style, as if following a thought or emotion like a poem.
At the release of each short video, Hanna will air them, commercial-like, on local Vermont TV stations. Once the series wraps up, the three dance videos will be presented on the web (including social media).
Considering herself a dance ambassador, Hanna has identified her goal as bringing movement to communities, places and spaces in an untraditional manner, so that more people who may otherwise not have access to contemporary dance are able to enjoy this art form. By shifting from live performance to a combination of dance and video, Hanna is attempting to reach an even broader audience.

Eliot Gray Fisher is an interdisciplinary artist experimenting to discover adventurous new forms of contemporary performance. He has presented work at SITE Santa Fe, CURRENTS International New Media Festival, and Edinburgh Fringe, been awarded multiple residencies at Connecticut College, Texas State University, Colorado College, Playa Summerlake, Ucross Foundation, and KHN Center for the Arts, and has received grants from the Paul Robeson Fund for Independent Media, Rea Charitable Trust, Hatchfund, New Mexico Arts, and the Charles and Joan Gross Family Foundation.
Eliot defines the most important aspect of his practice as the sustained cultivation of relationships with members of dynamic communities such as the one united twice a year at Fort Worden during the MFAIA residency. He has worked to nurture these ties after graduation across time and distance by pursuing opportunities for collaboration: one such recent project was In The Ever Now, a performance-residency supported, in part, by Goddard College’s Alumni Art Award. Fisher and his partner Erica Gionfriddo joined alumnus Jayme Green (MFAIA-WA ’16) and current MFAIA-WA student Krista Leigh Pasini in their home community of Billings, MT to present performances along the popular Art Walk and an interdisciplinary event that challenged the local audience’s expectations of a conventional concert, performance, or gallery exhibition.
The full evening interwove presentations of work-in-progress the artists had developed or refined over the course of their two weeks together. These included: a chapter from Fisher and Gionfriddo’s company ARCOS’ trans-media production Domain, a multiplatform piece that follows an unorthodox inventor grappling with having created the world’s first sentient artificial intelligence; Pasini’s Post-It Notes, an investigation of how simple technologies can extend humans’ capabilities through the lens of her father’s struggle with memory loss due to Lewy Body Dementia; and Green’s Blank Slate, probing a future world that has lost all record of its culture. In The Ever Now tested another model for ongoing creative exchange and collaboration between Goddardites in their respective home communities.

Think of Others
Alumna Jen Berger’s (MFAIA-VT ’12) project Think of Others is a collaboration amongst seven local artists, in conjunction with Vermonters for a Just Peace in Palestine/Israel (VTJP) that was on exhibit during the 2016 South End Art Hop. It is a collaborative arts project that brings to life a visionary piece by the Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish. It offers a call for contemplation of the ongoing struggles facing the Palestinian people, and the universal message of the poem “Think of Others”. The project ran September 9-11, 2016.

Butler Koshland Fellowship in Arts and Civic Engagement
Alumnus Ariel Luckey (MFAIA-VT ‘14) was recently awarded the Butler Koshland Fellowship in Arts and Civic Engagement at ODC in San Francisco. He will work closely with Brenda Way, ODC’s Founder and Artistic Director, to curate and produce innovative community programming in celebration of ODC’s upcoming 50th Anniversary. Ariel is also currently recording an album of music inspired by the hip hop Klezmer score of his solo play Amnesia. The album, titled rememory, will be released in early 2017.
Two New Design Projects
Alumnus Mark O’Maley (MFAIA-VT ’13) is the lighting designer on two projects this fall: the world premiere of Man In Snow by Israel Horovitz, which opened at the Gloucester Stage Company in Massachusetts on September 29th and which will travel to La MaMa E.T.C. in New York City on the November 10th; and 50 Song Memoir with the band Magnetic Fields, which opens at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art on November 18th This latter work will also be presented at the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Next Wave Festival December 2-3, 2016. It will then tour across the US, as well as to London, Edinburgh & Melbourne.

Awarded Best Writing in Science Media
Alumna Jessica Plumb (MFAIA-WA ’10) and co-director/producer/editor/writer of the film Return of the River, was nominated for and won the Best Writing in Science Media award at the Harvard Arts Museum on September 21, 2016.
Return of the River offers a story of hope and possibility amid grim environmental news. It is a film for our time: an invitation to consider crazy ideas that could transform the world for the better. It features an unlikely success story for environmental and cultural restoration. Fundamentally, the Elwha River in Washington State is a story about people and the land they inhabit. The film captures the tenacity of individuals who would not give up on a river, mirroring the tenacity of salmon headed upstream to spawn. It is a narrative with global ramifications, exploring the complex relationship between communities and the environment that sustains them.

Shadows of Spirit
MFAIA-WA Faculty Advisor Seitu Jones led a workshop titled Shadows of Spirit at the Fall 2016 Residency at Fort Worden, that traced participants’ shadows at a selected crossroad at Fort Worden. The workshop was streamed live to the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where a shadow workshop was simultaneously led by Ta-Coumba T. Aiken. Seitu and Ta-Coumba are collaborating to create a set of shadows for the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden to be installed in 2018 at the crossroads of the walkways of the garden and will be aligned with solar events. The spiritual importance of “Crossroads” reverberates through African American folklore and popular culture. Seitu’s workshop mapped the geographic coordinates of our positions, calculated the position of the sun, plotted and then traced participants’ shadows on the Autumnal Equinox (September 22, 2016). The Shadows created in our joint workshops will be used as templates for the permanent mixed media shadow installation installed in the Sculpture Garden.

Emergency Index
MFAIA Faculty Advisor Devora Neumark is amongst the artist-contributors to the 5th volume of Emergency Index, which is scheduled to go to press at the beginning of October 2016. Emergency Index is a yearly, paper-based, durable document of the ‘state of the field’ of performance, based on hundreds of actual performances made that year, all over the world. Edited by Sophia Cleary, Katie Gaydos and Yelena Gluzman, and published by Ugly Duckling Presse, Emergency Index has been surveying a broad spectrum of performance practices since 2011. Devora’s featured work in this latest edition of Emergency Index is called Letters to the Water, which was first performed in 2015 during the performance festival LÀ in Laval, QC that was curated by M-a Poulin. More recently, Devora created a new version of this work for the Under Western Skies 2016 conference in Calgary, AB called Water-Events, Trends, Analysis (September 27-30, 2016), in which she invited collaboration from conference participants.

Willi Singleton: Artist Residency at the Herekeke Art Center
Alumnus Willi Singleton (MFAIA-VT ‘16) completed a two-week printmaking residency at the Herekeke Arts Center in Taos, northern New Mexico (August 3-18, 2016). This invitational residency allowed Willi to pursue visual research at the nexus of community and geography in the narrow strip of land between the Sangre De Christo Mountains and the Rio Grande where Herekeke Art Center and the well-known Lama Foundation are located. The Herekeke Arts Center seeks to “help mid-career Visual Artists to further their creative work, achieve significant junctures in their careers and publish their work. HEREKEKE’s remote location is offered as a place of inspiration, nourishment and dedicated creative practice” (www.herekeke.org). Herekeke is located a mile below the Lama Foundation (a community established in 1967 that describes itself as “a sustainable spiritual community and educational center dedicated to the awakening of consciousness, spiritual practice with respect for all traditions, service and stewardship of the land”), which backs up against the newly designated Columbine Hondo Wilderness Area that is part of the Carson National Forest. Willi sought to gather visual information by hiking in this region in order to create prints on the theme of “Mountains and Rivers Without End” (the title of a book of poetry by Gary Snyder who has ties to the Lama Foundation going back nearly half a century). Click here for an insightful lecture by Gary Snyder speaking about “Mountains and Rivers without Ends” at the Sackler/Freer in 2008.

Diego Piñón Performs and Workshops BRM—Body Ritual Movement
During the Fall 2016 MFAIA-WA Residency, guest artist Diego Piñón generously presented his work for an artist’s talk that was open to the public. He also performed a beautiful solo work for the stage and later workshopped his methods and practice of BRM — Body Ritual Movement on September 18th and 19th at the USO Hall in Fort Worden. BRM challenges us to awaken and explore all human qualities ranging from the subtle to the outrageous, the beautiful and the ugly, the feminine and the masculine, the spiritual and the mundane. BRM seeks the emergence of the deeper self, to touch if only for a moment, the inexplicable matter of the human soul. Through this process of transforming our daily life through the transformation of our dance, we can offer more creative energy to our community.
Annexation and Assimilation: East 82nd Avenue
In collaboration with Sabina Haque – artist-in-residence with the City of Portland – current MFAIA-WA student Tamara Lynne will facilitate the creation of a performance developed by 5th grade students at Harrison Park School, exploring themes of community and identity on October 21st 6:00-9:00pm. This project, Annexation and Assimilation: East 82nd Avenue, will be presented as part of a multi-media exhibition on the history of East 82nd Avenue in Portland, Oregon, the historic boundary of Portland city limits.

Andrea Parkins at AKOUSMA XIII, Festival of Electroacoustic Music in Montreal
On October 22, 2016, MFAIA-VT Faculty Advisor Andrea Parkins will present the Canadian premiere of Two Rooms from the Memory Palace: Variation 1 at AKOUSMA Festival 13 in Montreal, QC. This works continues Parkins’ exploration of poetic interrelationships between site and time, and between gestural trace and acoustical space. Originally conceived as a generative 8-channel audio installation for diffusion through two non-acoustically-isolated adjacent rooms, Parkins will present a new re-imagining of her work: as a durational fixed-media piece configured especially for AKOUSMA’s 45-speaker acousmonium, and incorporating Parkins’ performance interventions on electronically-processed accordion and live electronics.

Cones
Cones, a solo show about vampires, vision loss, and ice cream, began as the Practicum Project of Morgan FitzPatrick Andrews Performed blindfolded on a raised stage, Morgan mixes comedic storytelling, physical theatre, and often risqué interactions with the audience to unpack the nuances of dis/ability passing — that is having a dis/ability while passing as more able-bodied. Cones premiered at Philadelphia’s SoLow Festival in 2015 before coming to Goddard’s Haybarn Theater in 2016. Now it’s ready to tour. Morgan performed Cones at an event for the New Jersey Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired on September 29th, and will perform it again at Cabrini University on November 15th.

A Year of Artisan Masonry
Alumnus David Neufeld (MFAIA-VT 16) returned home from his graduation to requests for eight of his custom brick ovens. With four projects (one pictured) so far completed, two in progress, and two in the planning stage, David will be traveling to four states in the next three months. David added the construction of these traditional brick ovens to his landscape design and stonework practice in 2007 out of a desire to bake bread. To date, the project has been quite lucrative. David gifted his first portable brick oven to a young chef and lent his other portable to the New Hampshire Mushroom Company for their weekend feasts. For more information: www.truebrickovens.com

Under Western Skies
Under Western Skies, a biannual environmental conference at Mount Royal College has become a significant convening of environmental humanities in Canada. This year the organizers took on the timely and urgent theme of water. The conference opened with a brilliant talk by Niigaanwewidam James Sinclair speculating about the work of indigenizing and decolonizing higher education. “We build the university four times a year when everyone comes together to construct our lodges.” Poet Christine Stewart spoke of the increasing message from elders asking white settlers to take a back seat in organizing to listen and learn from indigenous knowledge keepers. Milton Born with a Tooth was a near-constant presence throughout the conference reminding people about the history of the Old Man River dam project. The conference closed with Madonna Thunder Hawk voicing her observation that this younger generation of leaders in tribal government is growing up learning about sovereignty and other terms that were considered overly radical in her day. Speaking about her ongoing experience as an elder and organizer of the Standing Rock water protection gathering, she said, “I felt like I was watching decolonization happen right before my eyes.” MFAIA Program Director JuPong Lin presented “1000 Gifts of Decolonial Love,” a participatory performance that embellished on the intersection between cultural memory and non-western epistemologies and blends a paper-folding tutorial with an enactment of cultural memory. MFAIA-WA Faculty Advisor Devora Neumark gathered “Letters to Water” throughout the conference. JuPong writes of Devora’s project: “On the last day of the conference Devora performed a gorgeous recitation, underscoring the radical potential of the epistolary form.”
