Erin McNulty presenting 'Headlines'
Headlines is a solo performance project rooted in text from the daily news. Created by collecting words and excerpts from the media over a period of 10 days, transforming each tidbit into movement and gesture, and collating the pieces into a cohesive whole, Headlines is an abstract reaction in movement to the current news consumer experience.
