What does reflection look like in a culture obsessed with its own form? And what about certainty, in a city endowed of misperception? Self-Portrait #7 is one image in a composite, large-scale series of ephemeral, autonomous explorations into spectatorship and relatability.

Standing room for this performance is extremely limited. Please sign up in person at the PRELUDE2015 info desk, located outside the Segal Theatre.

Each performance will run approximately 15 – 20 minutes. Phillip Howze is presented within the 3:45pm – 5:30pm set. Follow by a short discussion, moderated by Noel Allain.
