What the hell is this?
an ongoing artist experiment | a dangerous swerve into interdisciplinary performance | a modular artwork | a collaboration by a live woman and a dead woman | a lot of cursing and shouting charming remembrance
What are the tentacles components of a “modular artwork”?
an informational booklet | a documentary about a living, working artist | a series of handmade holy cards | short digital video artworks publicly online | some live incidents that may make you want to call the cops have a great time | at least one lovely coffee table book
All of this is restricted to adults. Otherwise, it's fucking boring.
Beginning in 2011. Finishing when it ends.
Various locations. Just pay attention, dammit.
(pssst: there's going to be a lot more stuff on this page. like, soon.)
About the Artist
Amy Woodruff is a tenth generation Louisianian and an intermedia performance artist. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre from McNeese University of Louisiana, and a Master of Fine Arts from Goddard College of Vermont. Woodruff has trained with Dah Teatar of Serbia, Odin Teatret of Denmark, Shakespeare & Company of Massachusetts, and Vortex Repertory Theatre of Austin, Texas. Her works, a diverse spectrum of experiments and traditional stagings, have been seen across South Louisiana, and in New England and in Canada. These locations include almost a dozen New Orleans spaces, McNeese University’s theatre program (as an alumna artist), the Montréal Fringe Festival, the Harlow Gallery (ME), the Pratt Gallery (VT), a web-based collaboration with West Chester University’s dance program (PA), in various online exhibitions, and in five Dramarama festivals at the Contemporary Arts Center. Among Woodruff's acclaimed credits is her multimedia stage version of Lovecraft's "The Music of Erich Zann." She has also had major stage roles with the New Orleans troupe Four Humours Theater. Woodruff’s latest original works include: "Moon Cove" (future stagings forthcoming), the collaborative "Our Lady of Sorrows Project," and the installation project "fleetinghosts." Amy has moments when she can relate to Anita Berber a little too well. She directed and performed in "Feeding the Moonfish" recently in New Orleans.
