追随艺术
林赛Mammone first explored her abilities to articulate layered concepts – as well as physical layers of media – while earning her bachelor of fine arts in printmaking from Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, 佛罗里达. After graduating she didn’t feel she was finished searching for new and different media through which to express her art and began exploring photography and performance art. That’s what led Mammone to find the 365滚球官网’s master of fine arts in Art 研究生项目.
“I didn’t want to check a box and declare a focus when the art is the focus for me,” said Mammone.
Mammone first enrolled in the Master of Fine 艺术 program in 2015 with a focus in art. The unique structure of 爱达荷州’s MFA program allowed Mammone to expand her interests in layered media, and she quickly moved toward video and performance arts. Through her research in performance art, her art began to take on a new direction.
“I began studying my performative boundaries in theatre,妈妈说. “And before I knew it, I was falling in love with this research.”
Mammone found she was driven by the idea of using the human body as another medium to facilitate her artistic expression, and decided to pursue a second master of fine arts degree in Theatre 艺术.
“If I tried to use my body as a tool to facilitate the art and didn’t know the limits of my voice or physical being, I thought that would be irresponsible,妈妈说.
从莫斯科到莫斯科
With her first graduate degree completed in spring 2017, Mammone will be spending her summer studying at the 莫斯科 Art Theatre in 莫斯科, 俄罗斯, while conducting research for her second MFA in theatre arts. The 莫斯科 Art Theatre was founded in 1898 and has proved influential not only in the development of modern American theatre and drama, but also the global acting community.
Attending the 莫斯科 Art Theatre will keep Mammone busy with classes running six days a week, but it’s exactly what she’s looking for.
“我全力攻击艺术,妈妈说 while sitting in the airport terminal awaiting the over 5,000-mile journey to 俄罗斯’s capital city. “This program appeals to me for that reason.”
当一切尘埃落定, Mammone’s initial desire to find the strongest methods by which to showcase an artistic concept will have taken her from 莫斯科, 爱达荷州, 到莫斯科, 俄罗斯, 然后再回来. Her dedication to constantly exploring the bounds of her artistic expression, which has continuously led her to new and exciting places, is born out of a personal philosophy she holds dear.
“I follow the art,妈妈说.
Mammone will graduate with her MFA in theatre arts in spring 2018. She plans to continue her research after graduation with the hopes of exploring the possibility of working in professionally, particularly in experimental theatre.
