2011 Festival Celebrates THE BODY

 

This year's 46 programs explore how the body shapes--and is shaped by--culture, environment, technology, faith, politics, medicine, and more. Some of this year's "don't miss" presenters include filmmaker John Waters, Indiana author Dan Wakefield, TV personality Sara Snow, the Dance Theater of Harlem Ensemble, and legendary tattoo artist Lyle Tuttle, among others. See 2-minute video about the festival.
