MONDAY. NOVEMBER 19. 2012 NEW LONDON. OONNEOICUT VOLUME XCVI ' ~SUE 7 Per--DO RM -ance Art Rocks Smith

PETER TRESNAN CONTRIBUTOR

Last Thursday, a group of artists transformed the second floor of Smith into an art venue combining "visual art, postmodern dance, theatre, improvisation. oral hygiene and, food processing" in a piece called perDORMance Art, The concept was formed over a year ago as a "collaborative idea and effort by the [now] senior dance majors," said Grant Jacoby' 13. It took shape when dance professor Lisa Race suggested they pursue it, and the nine seniors - Jacoby, Skyler Volpe, Liz Charky, Jeramie Orton, Candace Taylor, Chloe Spitalny, Amy Gernux, Rachel Pritzlaff, Sammi Shay and Ayano Elson - banded together to put the idea to reality. They had an idea; they had a venue. Word spread via Facebook with seventy guests attending by show time. The crowd was small when I got there a little before 8 PM, but it wasn't long before, by my estimates, seventy of us waited anxiously to see what was in store. When we walked into the hallway, we were told to look for the doors with paper cutout stars, marking where art was happening. A few stars were on doors of students' rooms. one on the bathroom door and one outside the pantry, but the clusters of people in the doorways were were the best indicators that something was happening there. Each room had distinct inhabitants, each with their own motives: Pritzlaff scrolled on her computer while Orton danced in the background; Jacoby PHOTOS BY CECILIA BROWN .laid.mrthe bed as Spitalny rolled on Onthe 2nd floor of Smilh, Liz the floor, slowly crumpling up the tin Charky '13 and Ayano Elson foil that was absolutely everywhere (and I make that point again to make '13 improvised with a bed in a sure you understand that it was bathroom.
