Napping Affects Performance (NAP) opens Friday, May 14 (6-8pm) at Art League Houston and runs until June 25. NAP is a free service and a participatory/performance project offering people a place to take a nap. NAP’s relation to performance is two-fold: its benefits on day-to-day functioning and the context participants are placed in while experiencing performance art whether a reading, interaction, etc.
Participants may drop-in or make an appointment to nap by calling 713-582-1198 any time during Art League Houston hours (Hours: M-F 9am-5pm, Sat. 11am-5pm). Special group/community events including bedtime stories and lullabies will be scheduled throughout the run of the show.
Special events include:
Friday, May 14---*Opening reception*, Kisa Parker from the University of Houston's Moore School of Music will perform Brahms' Lullaby (Opening is 6-9pm, performance is at 7pm)
Sunday, May 23---Julia Claire Wallace, performnace art, 2pm.
Saturday, June 5---Beth Secor will treat us to a storytime starting at 1:30pm.
Saturday, June 19---Ruby Woodward a.k.a. "Lips" will be whistling lullabies starting at 1:30pm.
The projected affects of NAP are a more restful community, a unique experience of performance art, and a new context for artists performing.
