"Brenda Hutchinson: What Can You Do?"

Our comfort in public often depends on our ability to keep to ourselves and to maintain an invisible bubble around us as we navigate through what has become a very damaged public space. What Can You Do? is a celebration and reclamation of the public space through direct interaction among strangers presented as a series of encounters ranging from direct engagement through electronically mediated experience. UO Ensemble-In-Residence Beta Collide is collaborating with Brenda Hutchinson on this concert. For more information click here.
