Developed in the spring prior to the fall feature, Profound Fatigue’s preview and fundraiser is part of the fourth performance installment in the five-part Containment Scenario series exploring the discourse around climate change. The fundraising event featured a preview of the in-development Profound Fatigue feature, along with nibbles and a dance party with music by DF Tram and dj Traffic. Like the feature presentation, the preview examines ways in which language becomes exhausted, dull, and ineffectual and how non-normative forms and structures act to renew and refresh meaning. It combines stage direction, choreography, structured improvisation, and is developed in collaboration with the ensemble. The performance series is adapted from the book:  Containment Scenario: DisLoInter MedTextId entCation: Horse Medicine (OBooks 2009).
