Get ready to experience an amazing journey in the crazy world of Wonderland! Based on the classic by Lewis Carroll, “Alice” is an action-packed theatrical circus full of surprises, amazing acts, video projection with 3-D mapping and live music. Alice’s adventures are a manifesto to fantasy and free spirit, as well as a profound philosophy towards respecting all opinions, including those that may be different from your own.

Imagine the March Hare balancing on a tower of chairs during a tea party or The Mad Hatter playing crazy instruments or Alice performing acrobatics inside a giant keyhole!

“Dreaming of Wonderland” features an international cast of veteran performers from across Europe and North America, including acrobats, a 4-member hand-to-hand balancing act, a one-man band, and a new art form creating original creations with smoke and bubbles.

So follow the White Rabbit, pass through the keyhole and join us at the Tea Party, remember that you don’t need to look for meaning, after all…”we’re all mad here!” Get your tickets today!

Still/Moving

September 25 – November 15, 2024

Featuring work by Jason Bernagozzi (Colorado State University), Jamie Hahn (Kent State University), Evelyne Leblanc-Roberge (University of Rochester), Kristin Reeves (Grand Valley State University), and Eric Souther (Western Michigan University), Still / Moving: Framing New Media explores the relationship between still and moving imagery in interdisciplinary lens-based artwork. The show includes video, photography, installation, book arts, and performance, and shows a progression between analog film, digital video, electronic lens-based media, and new media technologies. From still-capture (using a camera to record and freeze movement), to a moving sequence of images recorded with analog film and digital video methods, the artists make tangible the seemingly mysterious and sometimes misunderstood art that can be defined as New Media.

Tuesday – Friday: 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
Closed weekends and all Ball State breaks and holidays.
