Reading of the Letters of Morris Graves with Joan Shirle
Dell’Arte International (DAI) presents Bird of the Inner Eye, a series of readings from the letters of painter Morris Graves (1910 – 2001). Dell’Arte’s Joan Schirle conducts the readings, sourced from Graves’ letters and archives, with a cast of Dell’Arte Company members and local actors. This “theatre of place” The event includes dance improvisations by choreographer and DAI faculty member Laura Muñoz. Though Graves’ paintings– mostly of birds, animals, and nature– are famous throughout the world, his writing is lesser known. The letters in Bird of the Inner Eye are taken from “Selected Letters of Morris Graves,” edited by Vicki Halper and Lawrence Fong (2013). Schirle has also taken material from interviews with Graves’ contemporaries. Bird of the Inner Eye runs Saturday Nov. 17 at Eureka’s Black Faun Gallery at 7pm. Suggested donations: $5-$10.
