Dallas-based artist Alison Starr worked with the T/AP students during a two-session workshop that covered the history of Performance Art up to examples of contemporary practices. Alison received her MFA from the University of Texas at Arlington with an emphasis in intermedia studio practices, and she co-founded Performance Southwest. Human nature/behavior, interactions, and private thoughts inspire her work, much of which is autobiographical. Her current body of work includes writing and performing both live and in video presentations.
