Upcoming at UC Davis, in California, a dance work based on art-science collaboration, including former local, Jim Crutchfield.
http://theatredance.ucdavis.edu/news/collapse.html COLLAPSE (suddenly falling down) is a new work by Della Davidson, in collaboration with geologists Louise Kellogg and Dawn Sumner, computer scientists Michael Neff and Oliver Kreylos, and physicist Jim Crutchfield, with text by Ed Gaible. From the collapse of the social order in Rwanda, to the twin towers falling and the ice caps melting into the sea, we fear the disintegration of the systems upon which we depend. Performed by Sideshow Physical Theatre in a joint production with Mondavi Center, this unique collaboration between artists and scientists uses computer-generated images in an interactive environment to illustrate how systems fail and patterns reorganize. The piece was commissioned by the Mondavi Center as part of the Creativity Project, a year-long event that celebrates the work and spirit of choreographer Merce Cunningham, who has been in the forefront of using technological systems to explore choreographic ideas. COLLAPSE runs October 25-28 and November 1-4, 2007 in Mondavi Center Studio Theatre. ------------------------------------------------ Richard Lowenberg P.O.Box 8001, Santa Fe, NM 87504 505-989-9110, 505-603-5200 cell [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.radlab.com New Mexico Broadband Initiative www.1st-mile.com/newmexico ------------------------------------------------ ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
