Rooted in Professor of Creative Writing Patricia Smith’s monumental book of poetry, Blood Dazzler, three award-winning artists (Patricia Smith, Davalois Fearon, and Paloma McGregor) will lead students in a collaborative creative process for building performance through poetry, dance, music, and visual art. Blood Dazzler centered on Hurricane Katrina, a deadly category 5 storm. Twenty years later, students will research the storm and its ongoing aftermath, including watching documentaries, conducting interviews, attending events, reading, and writing. Students will be given assignments based on the day’s activity and discussion and develop performance works for presentation to the Princeton community on April 24, 2025.
