Uncommon Clay
Devised by Jeanine Thompson

Presented in Thurber Theatre
Directed by Jeanine Thompson

Cast | Production Staff | Production Crew | Program Copy

Uncommon Clay is a movement theatre piece based on French sculptress Camille Claudel (1862-1943). Based on Claudel’s letters, Jeanine Thompson’s new work examines the artist’s troubled career, whose large-scale sculptures of human figures were celebrated in Europe. Assistant and mistress to Auguste Rodin, she often faced discrimination against her work and her self. From 1913 to her death in 1943, Claudel was institutionalized for her reclusive behavior and habit of smashing her art with a sledgehammer to prevent others from copying it. This work will explore the sculptural, psychological and kinetic storyline of those intertwined with her life. It is being created through collaboration with the 22 member ensemble, designers, stage managers, assistant director and director.
