"Shawnee, Ohio" Screening Premiere

Tune in March 9 at 5:00PM (EST) for the premiere screening of a new film version of Shawnee, Ohio

On March 9 at 5:00PM (EST), the screening premiere of Shawnee, Ohio will take place at the Wexner Center for the Arts. It will be online, and is free. Learn more here. Bringing together the full album and archival and contemporary footage, this version both captures the essence of the performance and allows the audience to deeply connect with the material. I am really excited to share this with you and hope you can tune in on March 9th. It will then be available to view through March 16.

Read an interview about Shawnee, Ohio with Creative Capital

To help support this new version of Shawnee, Ohio, I spoke with Alex Teplitzky at Creative Capital, an arts organization that has been instrumental in bringing this project into the world. It has been a great honor to work with Creative Capital, and this event is a wonderful bookend to the initial performances of the project in 2016.
