    Performance Portfolio

ARTSCAPE: ARTS AROUND THE WORLD

Executive Producer and Artistic Director: Scott Brian

“Throughout the night, there were over 30 showcases, activities and panels found in six distinct exhibitions. The main stage, situated in the rear of the event, implored attendees to meander and sample from swaths of dancers, instrumentalists and speakers of all kinds before being seated for events like taiko drumming and stunt choreography.”

- Dresden Kershaw, USC Daily Trojan

“I loved the fact that so many different types of art were represented. Normally, theater, art, dance — all these different mediums are separate…‘Artscape’ had such an interdisciplinary approach and to have everyone in one space allowed everyone to kind of dip their foot in and experience all the magic.”

- Hannah Wiser, USC Class of 2024
