Archive Project Movie:
Linda Mussmann’s OMAHA TO OGDEN (1986–2021)
In collaboration with Claudia Bruce.
Followed by a Q&A with Linda Mussmann

Join TSL for a special archival screening of Omaha to Ogden (Southwesterly), a collage-film constructed from Mussmann’s original 1986 production which was commissioned for the Riverside Dance Festival in NYC.

The film uses ordinary and familiar elements of daily life and takes them to the most unpredictable ends. Mussmann explores time and space with an expertise and humor demonstrated in her staging, script, filmed landscapes, lighting, and set design.

While no film or video tape was taken at the Riverside Dance Festival, hundreds of related artifacts have been preserved in the archive.

At the request of Linda Mussmann, TSL archivist Henry Munson created this film in 2021 using the following materials from the archives: An audio recording of the script reading; Color slides; Black and white promotional images; Hand-drawn stage designs; Annotated scripts; Audio tapes of a 1986 performance; Related 8mm films of maps, trees, and travel.

H. Munson Remix, 2021. 25m.

Screening one time this month at TSL. Followed by a Q&A with Linda Mussmann.

Tickets: $8 TSL Members / $10 General
