VOX POP

​

LA Mission’s College’s Arts, Media & Performance Department is proud to present Vox Pop, a new student-centered performance celebration. Vox Pop is designed to support the development and presentation of original artistic voices from our college community. 

​

"Vox Pop" is a shortened version of 'vox populi,' the Latin term for 'voice of the people.' The name encompasses the mission behind this performance series—to provide a forum where student voices are centered, collaboration is encouraged, and community is celebrated.

​

Vox Pop is a presentation arena for works-in-progress as much as it is for finished pieces. It's an artistic atom smasher, where ideas both great-and-small collide with each other and create something unique. It's a space where the kids can play, without the grownups telling them to keep the crayons off the walls.

 

Vox Pop is not an open mic. It's a forum to present polished work. That work may be unfinished, chaotic, or indefinable...but it should be polished in its unfinished state, controlled in its chaos, and rehearsed in its undefined nature.

​

Past volumes have included short plays with small casts and short plays with large casts; dance, poetry, performance art, and monologues; and piano, vocal, and band performances, and everything in-between.
