Twelve students from the University of Houston will present collaborative performances that incorporate media in some way including: music, video, sound and writing.  These students are currently taking an art class with Aurora Curator, Mary Magsamen, where they are learning about interdisciplinary art practices that specifically employ performance and media (film, video, digital imaging, interactive design, cell-phone, games, sound). For the first part of the semester, the students have been introduced to the history and theory of performance art and media, and the second half of the semester includes this public presentation combining performance and media.

This program is presented with the University of Houston Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts as part of CounterCurrent. CounterCurrent is a five-day festival of bold experimental art occupying a range of unexpected sites in the city of Houston. CounterCurrent includes audio and visual installation, live performance, and participatory events by artists from around the world. Collaborations with dynamic organizations and artists in the Houston community are included as well as fresh new works by University of Houston faculty and students.
