ESU to host installation, performance on Monday

East Stroudsburg University’s Madelon Powers Gallery will present 12 Shouts to the 10 Forgotten Heavens, a retrospective exhibition/installation and performance by theater artist Sibyl Kempson from Monday through March 6.

The installation will feature artifacts and videos from work first performed by Kempson and her group, 7 Daughters of Eve Theatre & Performing Co., at the Whitney Museum of Art on the solstices and equinoxes in 2017-18.

On Monday, Kempson will open the retrospective with an interactive reception and performance which will include references to the Poconos environment where she was raised.

Those planning to attend the reception and performance should gather outside the front entrance to the university’s Fine and Performing Center, Normal and Marguerite streets, East Stroudsburg, at 4:45 p.m. for the 5 p.m. event.

In the case of inclement weather, attendees should gather in the lobby of the building.

Hours for the gallery are Monday, Tuesday and Friday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m., and Wednesday and Thursday from 11 a.m.-7 p.m. The exhibit and reception are open to the public at no cost.

In conjunction with the exhibit and performance, Kempson will present an Intuitive Research Workshop on March 3 from 5-8 p.m. in ESU’s Kemp Library, 160 Smith St., East Stroudsburg.

This workshop, which is open to creatives in all media — visual and performing artists, writers and composers — will be focused on deepening the creative process. There is a fee for the general public.
