MR. MDWST
"MR. MDWST" is a forty-minute performance created from documentation and field notes taken during phase one of "OUTSKIRTS," an ongoing series of site-oriented performances to understand, reconfigure, and interrupt the social and cultural rituals of the rural Midwest. Building on the tradition of the "one man show," "MR. MDWST," aims to both entertain and challenge the audience by drawing from the field of oral tradition and exploring devices that allow cultural material to be transmitted such as songs, jokes, sayings, and stories.
