About This Show

Pratt Institute’s Performance and Performance Studies MFA Thesis Festival showcases work from the thirteen members of the graduating class of 2019. The festival includes performance art, installation, moving image art, choreography, theater, ritual-based work, and social practice by MFA candidates. Performances will take place across Dixon Place’s three spaces: The undercommons (Dixon Place rehearsal room), the lounge, and the mainstage.  There will be short pauses between each piece.
