Summary

Photos for Tar Sands Songbook: Workshop Performance & Panel Discussion. During The New School's curriculum disruption, Disrupt Climate Injustice, the Tishman Center hosted a performance of The Tar Sands Songbook. This work of documentary theater was written and produced by Tanya Kalmanovitch, Associate Professor at Mannes School of Music. Actors Jennifer Van Dyck and Peter Jay-Fernandez donned the stage alongside Tanya and a pianist. The actors played various characters which were inspired by Tanya’s life in Fort McMurray, just beside the Athabasca Oil Sands in Alberta, Canada. Tanya and the pianist provided a haunting original score which included classically informed composition, folksy jigs, and contemporary experimentation. Part of Earth Week 2018
