Mammals in Captivity is participatory performance podcast that invites the listener to a physical and sensorial journey into a natural history museum. The great thing about this tour is that it can be taken wherever the listener is at, regardless of the weather or time of day, this experience is here to take listeners on ride. All that we ask of our listeners is to bring with them their imagination and curiosity.This project was originally a larger choreographic research lead by Stephanie Miracle, Visiting Assistant Professor at University of Iowa. Miracle, along with a team of graduate and undergraduate students from the Department of Dance, were only three weeks away from premiering MAMMAL HALL, a site-specific wandering dance theater adventure designed for small audiences at the Macbride Hall Museum of Natural History (a Pentacrest Museum) in Iowa City. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this performance has been postponed indefinitely. But art-making prevails. The MAMMAL HALL team regrouped via ZOOM and together developed an entirely new form through which their research might be shared. Part-podcast, part-radio-play, part aural-choreography, this is a listening experience for anyone, any age, anywhere.
