Rebecca Bruno’s “Fixtures” – A Movable Dance
Rebecca Bruno‘s Fixtures was anything but fixed. On September 26 and 27, Bruno and her collaborator Samantha Mohr performed a conceptual dance at the Annenberg Community Beach House that redefined audience participation. Every section provided opportunities for the crowd to approach the duo, snap photos, mimic their movements and even discuss one another’s reactions.
These interactive tiles allow our Ampersand audience to hear commentary from the choreographer and experience what it was like to be there. Check out the award-winning piece on Ampersandla.com.

Looking in Through "Windows on Death Row"
What does it mean to be able to give those who cannot speak a voice through art? Windows on Death Row provides insight into the lives of often forgotten death row inmates all around the country. The art exhibit had its debut at USC in the old Annenberg building where it was originally intended to remain from October 22 through December 18 of this year before it began its cross-country tour. Due to its extreme popularity, the exhibition has been extended until January 4, 2016. Check out the rest of the article on Ampersandla.com.
