Lauren Bone Noble to tackle various creative projects with support<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lauren Bone Noble,<\/strong> assistant professor of movement for the actor at the University of Mississippi<\/strong>, has been awarded an individual artist fellowship grant from the Mississippi Arts Commission<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The highly competitive fellowship honors Mississippi <\/strong>artists who demonstrate the ability to create exemplary work in their chosen field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Mississippi Arts Commission<\/a> supports my own professional creative work, which fuels and supports the work I do in class with my beloved students,” Noble said. “By supporting working artists, MAC supports future artists as well.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fellowship gives Noble flexibility to pursue a variety of projects. Over the summer, she directed\u00a0“An Iliad<\/a>,”\u00a0at the Franklin Stage Company<\/strong> in New York’s Great Western Catskills<\/strong>. The show, adapted from Homer’s classic poem, “The Iliad,” is an examination of “our fascination with war, heroes and the terrible human cost,” Noble said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking ahead, Noble is creating a new solo show for the FESTN4<\/a> festival in Orlando. The show, “suff(rage),” is a historical revenge fantasy reimagining the days around the Seneca Falls Convention, which launched the women’s suffrage movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“FESTN4 is a curated festival held over four days, hosting national and international artists,” she said. “There are a wide variety of avant-garde and new works; Orlando is a great city for theater in general and experimental theater specifically.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noble is also working to bring a new production of “A Christmas Carol” to Oxford <\/strong>and is in the beginning stages of research for a play about the subjective perception of reality, time, memory and shared history, and the relationship between mothers and daughters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, she was awarded an MAC individual project grant that helped her take her solo show “Fury!<\/a>” to New York City<\/strong>\u00a0for its off-off Broadway <\/strong>premiere on Theatre Row<\/strong> at United Solo<\/strong>, the world’s largest solo theater festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noble’s work spans many theatrical styles, from classical forms to avant-garde and physical theatre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Professor Bone Noble is a talented artist who is passionate about her work both as a performer and a teacher,” said Michael Barnett, chair of the Department of Theatre and Film<\/a>. “The recognition provided by being awarded the Mississippi Arts Commission Performing Artist Fellowship serves as a reflection of her important work and contributions to the university, state, region and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are fortunate to include her among our colleagues in the Department of Theatre and Film.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noble said she is thankful to the MAC and her department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Both the Mississippi Arts Commission and the Department of Theatre and Film have offered such necessary funding,” she said. “It’s rare for artists to have this level of support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s what allows me to be able to continue to make new things and grow my own individual artistry as I help young artists grow into theirs.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project is supported in part by funding from the Mississippi Arts Commission, a state agency, and in part, from the National Endowment for the Arts<\/strong>, a federal agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
