INFINITE LIGHT LIMITED EDITION Video Premiere

Friday, October 7, 2011. 7-10PM

Please join us for the world premiere of a new dance media art work from Infinite Light.

Choreographer Brooke Broussard and video artist Benton-C Bainbridge are joined by composer Ben Bromley for a new dance, video and music art work based on footage created for Xi'an, China's 2011 International Horticultural Exposition. Bainbridge shot dancers Chelsea Retzloff, Kana Kimura, Ruby MacDougall, Hayley Jones and Brooke Broussard herself in a green screen studio in Shanghai and then transformed them with analog and digital FX to create cosmic collisions, tree spirits and blossoming flowers in the spirit of the Expo.

The video and choreography can be seen nightly in Xi'an through October 22, playing on 80 meter sprays of water and organic-shaped LED screens, both on land and underwater. The premiere of INFINITE LIGHT LIMITED EDITION gives audiences their first chance to see this work without traveling to Xi'an, condensed into a sensuous single channel mix and set to a new score by Ben Bromley of NewVillager.

Perpetrators’ Daily Bread

Friday, September, 9th, 2011. 9-11pm

In the spirit of Dick Higgins Happenings, Devotion presents PERPETRATORS’ DAILY BREAD, an evening of live drawing, music improvisation, performance art, and a film screening. The evening will implicate the audience in the space by featuring live painters BOSSHIKO and Sayoko Hirano, music by Floor Models, a duo of processed electric guitar and electric cello, and Ideosynchronic an experimental percussion duo, as well as a performance of Bibi Calderaro’s The Institute for Wishful Thinking, and a screening of the new film Holy Blood by Brian Getnick and Noe Kidder. All of these things will happen at the same time, among the viewers rather than separated from them. We will break down the walls between art forms, allowing a multi-dimensional work to emerge over the course of the evening. To paraphrase Richard Serra ,the experience will be in the audience, not in the frame, nor on the screen, nor on the stage. A document of the show will be available to view for the week following the performance.
