Processing and documenting the human experience through history, literature, music, art, philosophy, religion, language, and the performing arts.
Arts and Humanities in Action (¡¡AHA!!) seeks to encourage connections between the classroom and cultural experiences at Penn State Altoona.
"In My America" is a multimedia project that involved the entire campus community through poetry, dance, and film. The project began with a poem coordinated by Professor Erin Murphy developed from individual lines written by members of the Penn State Altoona community. A film, created by Assistant Teaching Professor Naomi Baker, brought the poem to life featuring campus community members reciting lines from the original poem. The project culminated in a performance in fall 2021 choreographed by KT Huckabee and performed Ivyside Dance Ensemble and Allied Motion Dance Company.
