TICKET SALE DATES

PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION
Marlon Blackwell will discuss his architecture and design process and will introduce 'Radical Practice: The Work of Marlon Blackwell Architects', a new monograph released in June 2022 by Princeton Architectural Press. Both the book and the lecture emphasize projects in the public and civic realm, emerging from outside the established centers of architectural culture, illustrating the distinct and original voice of Marlon Blackwell Architects. Their iconic and award-winning designs span across typologies, scales and budgets, by merging the universal language of architecture and the particulars of place. The lecture will discuss the richness of the work, its methods, and its consequences and suggest an open-endedness, at once generous and provocative, to the practice's trajectory and interest in what a "radical practice" can be in the contemporary moment. A core principle at the heart of the practice, radical in its fundamental simplicity, is the assertion of the making of buildings and places as a constant authentic focus.

PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION
In the same manner as vocalists, actors, and authors communicate through lyrics, lines, and texts, dancers use movement to share what they are thinking and how they are feeling. Words are not the only way to express oneself. Dance can help tell a story and convey emotions, thoughts, and feelings in a way that is meaningful to themselves and their audience. In "Voices", the Samford Dance Company will explore various ways of communicating, combining non-verbal expression with song, spoken word, and other soundscapes.
