‘Formless’ shakes up performing arts by blending art and activism

The Capital Times

“Formless” features a cohort of new performers every year and will premiere for the second time ever on at 7 p.m. Sunday at the Play Circle in the Memorial Union, 800 Langdon St.

“Formless” began as a collaboration between Social Justice Hub and several other student organizations. This year Social Justice Hub is partnering with WUDPAC to continue the event. The group of directors comprises students from both organizations. The UW-Madison Office of Inclusion and Diversity as an additional cosponsor and media coverage will be done by The Black Voice, a student-run publication “dedicated to the voices of Black students.”
