This day-long workshop will address issues of historical community displacements, but also intersecting questions of sovereignty, self-determination, and survival. Using factual timelines that highlight federal treaties; federal, state and county laws that were enacted specifically to support the displacement of Native American, Black, and Latinx communities and families, as well as white flight and economic disinvestment; and some actual stories of those families, we will create an intensive workshop leading to a performance to share this history. The first part of the day’s workshop will focus on introducing InterPlay forms and building community among participant, including exploring the racial and cultural histories and differences of participants. During the second part of day’s workshop, participants will spend a day working with historical materials to develop a historical timeline, working with InterPlay leaders to further explore InterPlay forms, and working in small groups to collaborate and improvise movement, scenes, and stories around the communities and histories explored. The focus of the workshop will be community-building, pedagogical, and creative, working toward creating a public performance in January or February 2020. Participants themselves will choose what historical moments to prioritize through a future performance and begin to explore how to body forth the silences of past and present through their performance. By bringing together community members for the city and suburbs and from the city and the University, this project will enable participants to encounter, experience, and embody the differential effects of urban transformation on different populations of the central New York community. We hope to that we will be able to draw in participants from an array of backgrounds, including the Onondaga Nation, the black community, the Latinx community, the refugee communities, as well as students and professionals drawn to the region by Syracuse University. We are, however, particularly interested in the stories and experiences of the region’s Native Haudenosaunee and black communities.
