Artists: Tess Dworman, Panoply Performance Lab (Jessica Bathurst, Arla Berman,

Neff, Michael Newton, Ellen O’Meara), John Berdel, Stephen Van Dyck

Dangling Modifier brings together east and west coast artists who are helping to define a new avant-garde. Brooklyn based Tess Dworman investigates the sculptural potentials of the face in movement work. Los Angeles artists John Berdel and Stephen van Dyck work with meditation, subtle infiltration into public spaces, and intimate performance scores. New York’s Panoply Performance Lab examines complex systems and traces epistemic, emotional, and socio-political viewpoints/theories using music, text, analog electronics, video, participatory elements, and found materials.

New Voices In Live Performance Curated by Compendium

June 22, 6pm-10pm & June 23, 3pm-10pm.
Suggested donation $5-15 at the door only.

Compendium: Technics is a performance micro-conference organized by the Compendium. Over the course of two days, artists from around the world and across disciplines are invited to research their relationships with technology, technicalities, and technics. Friday, June 22^nd will feature artists working “sans technics” and Saturday, June 23^rd will feature artists who depends on “technics” to operate.

Friday June 22: Artists will perform in the CPR spaces in the absence of colloquially-defined “technology,” i.e. without amplification, lighting, etc, stripping the work to all but conceptual forms of technics. Audiences must be present in the space to experience the work. Documentation will consist of written descriptions.

Saturday, June 23: Artists will have access to CPR’s cutting edge technological array, including multiple projectors, sound system, and lighting grid, and may bring in their own technological devices, set-ups, and mechanisms. Audiences may view streamed performances from computers all over the world and performances will be documented on digital video.

A round-table discussion on Saturday, June 23^rd at 4pm will allow us to reflect on the collective research performed, involving the artists from the project and including other voices in live performance.

Friday 29th

KIKUKO TANAKA 7:00 – 9:00 PM
“Traumatic Encounter Forever!”
“Traumatic Encounter Forever!” is a part of an open-­‐ ended multimedia tragicomic
epic “A Tragic Bambi,” which revolves around recurring images of urination of the
dismembered body of Bambi as an idée fixe. Originated out of lovers’ absurd longing to eradicate their own discontinuous beings, “Traumatic Encounter Forever!” examines our passionate aspirations expressed in the conjunction of aesthetics,
politics and religion. Why do we aim for transcendence or sublimation through art?
Why do we believe that art could or should bring social change? “Traumatic Encounter Forever!” does not offer answers to those questions, but rather examines
the symbolic structure that generates such questions. The revealed is the construction of western subjectivity, deranged from the perspective of a racial and
sexual other. www.kikoworld.net
