4. Performance: Niagara Falls
https://pac.uga.edu/event/niagara-falls/all/
Written by UGA alumnus Steve Yockey, Niagara Falls follows newlyweds Jack and Avery as they attempt to enjoy their honeymoon in a tacky vacation suite. Before long, talk of their future together descends into uncertainty: Avery wonders if maybe they married too hastily and has an unnerving feeling about the stain on the floor that looks suspiciously like a body. With a cast of memorable characters from along the Niagara Falls boardwalk, Yockey comically examines the delicate balance of what we both gain and lose in love.

The Social Ecology Studio is accepting applications from undergraduate and graduate students for Project Pilot Grants intended to support projects working within the vision of the studio. The Social Ecology Studio is a multi-researcher, collaborative art workspace dedicated to advancing sustainability and resilience through the arts.

The Studio facilitates collaborations with scientific and social research topics from across campus and the community, serving as a hub for graduate and undergraduate students to identify research opportunities while providing space and resources to work collaboratively.
Grant Amounts will generally be awarded in the range of $200-$800 and will include access to a collaborative studio workspace, and project mentorship from studio director Michael Marshall and a network of affiliated faculty from across campus.

Interdisciplinary projects designed to inspire, beautify and uplift -- as well as to inform and conserve -- are encouraged. Special consideration will be given to projects incorporating sustainability + arts. Grants are awarded based on merit, positive impact, implementation feasibility, and available funding.
The Office of Sustainability coordinates, communicates, and advances sustainability initiatives at UGA in the areas of teaching, research, service and outreach, student engagement, and campus operations. For more information visit sustainability.uga.edu.
