Performance Art by Megan Hildebrandt

Performance artist Megan Hildebrandt will present her "alternative
history lesson" Port Townsend style while in residency at Centrum.
Megan's work brings communities in touch with some aspect of their
own history by reenacting a part of that community's forgotten life
and times. While we don't know the subject of her Port Townsend
piece, we can show you what she did in a Baltimore neighborhood by
simply scrubbing marble steps. She was later interviewed about the
experience on Baltimore Public Radio. Megan will be in residence in
March, and we'll keep you posted on the details of her Port Townsend
performance.

Although Centrum Residents are not required to interact with the
community while here, it's always great when one of our artists or
writers finds a way to engage the public in their New Work.
Readings, open studios, recitals, and performance pieces like Megan's
add to the vibrancy and fun of the Residency Program here at Centrum.
