The festival concludes on Sunday, June 25 at 3PM with the performance 20under20 devised by 20 artists under 20 years of age. Exploring this year's theme of "Outsider," 20under20 brings young adult voices into Tessellate. Creative Directors Helene Fischman and Carmen Quinlivan will guide students to bind together the elements of writing, drawing, storytelling, movement and sound into a performance of new work created over the course of four days leading up to the festival.Admission is FREE, but seat reservations recommended: RSVP online.
