The Fall Show, A Devised Work
Fall 2022
Purchase Tickets
The Fall Show, a devised work drawn from Charles Mee’s (re)making project, will be presented by the UC Davis Department of Theatre and Dance Nov. 18-20 in the Main Theater, Wright Hall.
Directed by Erika
Chong Shuch with dramaturgy by Sarah-Rose Leonard, the
project turns the stage directions in all the plays written by
Mee as
a starting place for a devised work directed by Shuch and created
in
collaboration with a student ensemble. Mee’s stage directions
are
poetic prompts that can be reimagined as a springboard for a
devised,
movement-driven performance work. Working with dramaturg
Leonard, the performance uses stage directions from selected
works
that speak to our contemporary moment.
Erika Chong Shuch is a performance maker, choreographer and director whose topic-driven ruminations coalesce into imagistic assemblages of music, movement, text, and design. Interested in expanding ideas around how performance is created and shared, Erika’s work has been performed in city halls, theaters, industrial offices spaces, diners, parking lots and food courts.
Performances begin at 7 p.m. on Nov. 18 and 19, and 2 p.m. on Nov. 20. All tickets are $5. Tickets may be purchased at the UC Davis Ticket Office, located on the north side of Aggie Stadium, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, by phone 530-752-2471 during the same hours, or online at theatredance.ucdavis.edu.
The Department of Theatre and Dance is part of the UC Davis College of Letters and Science.
