KVAA’s Arts Alliance Workshops are accessible community events that are designed to offer relevant, inspiring information and practical approaches towards creating individual art. Workshops are led by guest artists immersed in their field of study who lead conversation and questions through their shared experience and process. This workshop is led by photographer and film maker, Louie Palu. In this presentation Palu will share his photographs, the stories behind them and his experiences from over 30-years of working throughout the U.S. and the world. From his in-depth coverage of workers in mining communities to his ongoing project documenting the Arctic, Palu will discuss pathways in photography and visual storytelling, offering practical guidance on how documentary work can deepen our understanding of science, journalism, filmmaking, and domestic and global affairs.

What is a Living History presentation? 

It’s simple. An actor brings an historical character back to life. 

How do they do it? The actor does in-depth research into the character they have selected and create a presentation around the information that they have learned. The actors do not use a script that has been produced by someone else, but have created their own original dialogue. We at MadCap Living History do our best to represent the character as realistically as they were in life. We delve deeply into their life, and focus on various aspects that we find interest, and believe will find entertaining. We do our best to be accurate and respectful of all of our characters, even the ones that weren’t so respectable.
