Presenting at Conference "Crusing in the Ruins" @ Northeastern U. Sept. 22



Saturday, Sept. 22nd, 2pm
Northeastern University
Curry Student Center, McLeod Suite B, rm. 320
346 Huntington Ave., Boston, MA

I will be giving a brief presentation at the conference Crusing in the Ruins, organized by the BABEL Working Group.

The talk will be entitled Rhode Island Murder and Horror Stories in Performance: Adam Emery, Mercy Brown, and the Devil’s Footprint and I will discuss setting past and contemporary Rhode Island folk, horror, and murder stories to performances, including the projects Mercy Brown and the Devil's Footprint and The (unfinished) Ballad of Adam and Elena Emery.

I will talk about reenactment, playing with bones, haunting the scene of the crime, seance, and using these things to try to understand incomprehensible stories.
