The Amelia Project
University of California, San Diego, 2018
The Amelia Project was a multidisciplinary workshop project combining text, music, movement, and film to create a theatrical performance inspired by the novel, I Was Amelia Earhart, by Jane Mendelsohn. Among the most relevant questions to our research process were: how do you stage and integrate hallucination into live performance; how can theater improvise upon history with respect and consequence; and how can one find hope and salvation in another human being?
