Teaching

Goat Island Summer School 2008

7-26 July 2008: M-F, 9am - 4:30pm
Includes 2-Day Goat Island Symposium, July 25th and 26th
Goat Island : Lastness, raiding the archive, and pedagogical practices

Goat Island will present their tenth and final Artist-in-Residence Workshop at the School of the Art Institute. Directed by the interests of the participants as well as those of the instructors, the intensive workshop will examine disciplines of performance, installation, writing, movement, music research, publication, and documentation in various forms and combinations. Sessions will combine "theory" and "practice", investigating forms of thought and presentation, styles of collaboration, historical and philosophical perspectives, and methods of individual and collective expression and creativity.

For further information on the Goat Island Summer School and Symposium please contact Mark Jeffery, Goat Island member and Performance Faculty mjeffe at saic. dot edu.

Web & Film Projects

The Last Performance
A web-based writing, archiving, and text-visualization project created by Judd Morrissey to evolve alongside the creation and performance of The Lastmaker. The work is being collectively authored by Goat Island, invited artists and critics, the Goat Island community-at-large, and the general public.
www.thelastperformance.org

Curtain Call (working title)
For our last film we intend to make a multi-screen work which will play performatively with space and time and which will not only draw on The Lastmaker performance but also open up new endings towards as yet unknown beginnings. The working title for our final film is Curtain Call and will involve shooting in several different locations on S16mm film beginning in early 2009. We invite you to support our last film by making a financial contribution.
