Life & Arts Meshing of the arts breeds innovation Course offers opportunity for students from various artistic disciplines to fuse their talents into creations COUGAR LIFE & ARTS SERVICES Artistic students from different disciplines -- creative writing, theater, dance, music and art -- came together to create innovative pieces of work. UH's Collaboration Among the Arts course, a multi-disciplinary project, was created in part by the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts. In its third year, the program has sought to foster daring experiments among the four groups of students. In Stories from an Empty Place, an interactive exhibit of art, photography, writing, storytelling and film, 50 fourth-grade students helped with the project by documenting their lives and communities. Cover is a multi-media documentary that presents the various reasons -- spiritual and cultural -- on why women cover parts of their bodies, such as heads and faces. In Covering Ground, the student group focused on "environmental graffiti," which is to plant flowers in vacant lots and spaces across the city. Collective Playground, though, is another multi-media exhibition that delves into childhood memory. The installation is said to provoke a confrontation on how a viewer's memories are distorted through time and become subjective perspectives. Stories from an Empty Place and Cover is free and
open to the public.
