Ghosts and the Body Theater: A performance lecture

created and performed by Jolene Noelle

Production support: Stephen Christensen | Shiva Kalaiselvan | Orietta Crispino

Ghosts and the Body Theater is a performative lecture by Dramaturg Jolene Noelle born from a simple question: Why do so many theaters claim to be haunted? Examining live/unlive bodies within performative spaces where the physical and spectral converge, this piece provides a brief glimpse at the many ghosts of the theater.
