Colorline is a series of interviews and performances created by Marianne Evans-Lombe, Mia Wright, and Dr. Rodney L. Clark to examine racial segregation in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Colorline is a four-part project.
1. There are interviews with members of the Tulsa community, asking how the community feels about the color line and racial segregation of this city.
2. There is a Readers Theatre directed by Dr. Rodney L. Clark using excerpts from the interviews. This performance will be black and white actors, replicating the color line in Tulsa.
3. There is a poetry performance created by Mia Wright using black and white poets replicating the color line in Tulsa, and also recreating in space the formation of Robert Lax's poem "black/black/white/white."
4. There is a street performance created by Marianne Evans-Lombe, with eight white artists as 'steppers' and eight artists of color as 'rollers.' The performance will take place at the intersection of North Greenwood Avenue and East Archer Street.
The performances will take place the first three Sundays in May 2016.
