[HvEXAS] NYE 2010 ...TOMORROW NIGHT

 

NYE 2010 ...TOMORROW NIGHT! We keep picking up on pressure from Troy City Tavern regarding tickets for tomorrow night (aka New Year's Eve), so here's us passing that on.  Word is that today is the last day you can buy tickets for the $60 open bar from 9pm-1am deal (which is $50 if you mention Select Rhythms).  You have to get them at Troy City Tavern. DON'T WAIT! If you want the open bar treatment, it sounds like you better act fast. If you don't get a "golden" ticket for the open bar, you'll still be able to get in on the $20 ticket, which gets you 2 free drink tokens.  The info we're picking up on has been changing pretty fast, so your best bet is to stay tuned to the event page. No matter how it plays out with getting in, we've got an open good vibe policy on the 3rd floor.  All you can ask for, all night. Here's the info as of right now... Join Select Rhythms DJs Lazer, Blazer & Properly Chilled along with DJs Jay Travis and Robin Moreau for NEW YEAR'S EVE @ TROY CITY TAVERN!!! We're holding down the swank 3rd floor lounge all night. $20 Entry includes 2 free drink tickets $60 (Advance Purchase) Entry includes open bar from 9pm-1am *** There's a chance the $60 entry will sell out (from what we hear) so get in touch with Troy City Tavern about tickets *before* New Year's Eve to make you you can jump on that! Mention "Select Rhythms" either when you buy a ticket early or at the door (again, if it's not sold out) and you'll cop each ticket for $50. Again, contact Troy City Tavern ahead of time to calm your nerves ;) *** NEW YEAR'S EVE @ TROY CITY TAVERN 3rd FLOOR LOUNGE 7:30PM - 2AM (maybe later, who knows) 21+ UP DJs: Lazer & Blazer Properly Chilled Jay Travis Robin Moreau 124 4th Street, Troy NY (near corner of 4th and Congress)

All Exhibitions open Monday - Saturday, noon - 6 PM
Free + Open to the Public

+ NEWS

Following the Rensselaer Holiday Concert and the installations closing
on Wednesday December 16 at 6 PM, EMPAC will go dark for a few weeks.
However, we will be right back in January to announce everything
happening during the Winter / Spring of 2010. Given that it is the
holiday season, though, it cannot hurt to give you a taste of what to
expect (mark your calendar!):

Jeremy Wade: there is no end to more
Thursday January 28 + Friday January 29
In a bold and violent juxtaposition of movement, text, animation and
video of manga (Japanese comics) drawing, choreographer Jeremy Wade
takes a playful and cynical look at Japanese kawaii (cute) culture,
exploring its ubiquitous influence on the world today.

Wayne McGregor | Random Dance: Entity
Friday February 26 + Saturday February 27
Entity, by Wayne McGregor/Random Dance, is a breathtaking performance
blending video on three screens, highly-charged dancing and a
soundscape created by Coldplay and Massive Attack collaborator, Jon
Hopkins, and award-winning composer Joby Talbot.

Dancing on the Ceiling: Art and Zero Gravity
Thursday March 18 – Saturday April 10
In this exhibition, performance, film and lecture series, contemporary
artists use a variety of strategies including parabolic flight,
helium, rigging, digital special effects and other tricks of the eye
to explore the experience of weightlessness on earth.

The OpenEnded Group: UPENDING
with music by Morton Feldman played by NYC-based FLUX Quartet
An EMPAC Commissioned Project
Friday March 26 - Sunday March 28
After two years and many many months spent in-residence at EMPAC, The
OpenEnded Group premieres their new work UPENDING. This is an evening
length work that combines breathtaking 3D computer animation with a
new gutsy EMPAC-produced recording of Morton Feldman's first string
quartet by NYC-based FLUX Quartet. We've never seen anything quite
like this - come experience for yourself.

Music of Helmut Lachenmann
SIGNAL + JACK Quartet with Brad Lubman, Conductor
Helmut Lachenmann, Soloist
Saturday March 27
Brad Lubman's SIGNAL and the intrepid JACK Quartet perform a concert
of Helmut Lachenmann's music under the guidance of the composer. Don't
miss this rare US performance of one of the most influential living
European composers - an exploded musical language of risky,
nearly-electronic instrumental sounds recombined into elaborate,
intricate works that EMPAC's Concert Hall was built to articulate.

onedotzero
Friday April 30 - Sunday May 2
The second annual onedotzero_adventures in motion festival comes back
to EMPAC with an explosive showcase of internationally curated moving
image. Featuring ground-breaking short film screenings, playful

[HvEXAS] EMPAC Tonight! Unfiction: Encounters at the End of the World | Thursday 12/10 at 7:30 PM

+++ As an added bonus, we will be joined by Capital District
scientists and educators Dr. Samuel Bowser, a research scientist who
appears in "Encounters at the End of the World", and Dr. Andrea
Habura, a Rensselaer alum who was present during filming in
Antarctica. Following the screening, they will hold a brief
discussion of their experiences surrounding the film in EMPAC's cafe
(there will be coffee and cookies as well).

SCREENING, SERIES
Unfiction
Encounters at the End of the World
Director: Werner Herzog
Thursday December 10, 7:30 PM
$5
Curator: Emily Zimmerman

A study of the sublime and the absurd at the southernmost point of the
planet, "Encouters at the End of the World" is Werner Herzog's most
recent documentary, commissioned by the National Science Foundation.
From the outset Herzog proclaims that it is "not a film about fluffy
penguins"; instead the film examines the psychology of the scientists
and technicians who have chosen to live and work in this formidable
landscape.

+ Trailer = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MImYM87jOtU

"Few filmmakers make the end of days seem as hauntingly beautiful as
Werner Herzog does, or as inexorable…. Encounters at the End of the
World has the quality of a dream: it's at once vivid and vague, easy
to grasp and somehow beyond reach."
— Manohla Dargis, The New York Times

"Alternates between spellbinding views of the landscape's white and
blue expanses, conversations with scientists, and interviews with
McMurdo's denizens. Runs the gamut from existential meditation to
comedy; indeed, it is perhaps Herzog's funniest film."
— Sven Lütticken, ArtForum

"The film's visuals are a wonder to behold. Stunning footage (of) a
violent, hermetic world under the ice, populated by myriad strange
life-forms."
— Film Comment

Tickets:

+ General Admission = $5.00

+ For tickets, directions, and other concerns, contact the EMPAC Box
Office at 518.276.3921 or visit the website at http://www.empac.rpi.edu/

Unfiction is a series of documentary films that turn truth into
something other than fact, using poetry and imagination, rather than
transparency and objectivity. These filmmakers question the very
notion of authenticity, and disobey the typical documentary filmmaking
practices; instead they stage their own realities on location,
employing techniques such as reenactment, personal voice-overs and
special effects.

+ Werner Herzog bio:

Werner Herzog (real name Werner H. Stipetic) was born in Munich on
September 5, 1942. He grew up in a remote mountain village in Bavaria
and never saw any films, television, or telephones as a child. Since
the age of 19 he has produced, written, and directed more than 40
films, published more than a dozen books of prose, and directed as
many operas.

Associated with the German New Wave Movement, Herzog's films blur the
distinctions between documentary and narrative practice through
Herzog's direct intervention into the context he is filming in order
to extract what he has called the "ecstatic truth" of a situation.
Please see Herzog's "Minnesota Declaration" reproduced below which was
published on the occasion of his 1999 retrospective at the Walker Art
Center.

[HvEXAS] Rensselaer Holiday Concert | EMPAC Concert Hall | Tuesday December 15th @ 7 PM

(My apologies if you are getting this twice - and by all means, let
others know! The more, the merrier never seemed as apropos...)

http://www.empac.rpi.edu/events/2009/fall/holiday/index.html

PERFORMANCE

In celebration of winter and the turning of the year, EMPAC and
Student Life invite you to the holiday concert at EMPAC – establishing
a new tradition on campus.

Inside what The New York Times calls "the concert hall of the 21st
century," listeners will hear the Antioch Chamber Ensemble performing
holiday and winter songs, among others the "Ceremony of Carols" by
Benjamin Britten, "Hebrew Love Songs" by Eric Whitacre, "Mid-Winter
Songs" by Morten Lauridsen, and other festive music for the season.

This "spectacular example of what a classical choir should sound like"
debuted at the gala opening of the New Jersey Performing Arts Center
and is now coming to our concert hall. Harp and voices will float
through this pristine performance place especially well suited for
vocal music.

This concert will also be the perfect close to Fall 2009 series of
events and performances.

Tickets:

+ General Admission = $10
+ Rensselaer Student, Faculty & Staff = 2 FREE tickets with Rensselaer
ID

+ For tickets, directions, and other concerns, contact the EMPAC Box
Office at 518.276.3921 or visit the website at http://
www.empac.rpi.edu/.

+ Antioch Chamber Ensemble bio:

Widely regarded as one of the finest professional vocal ensembles in
the United States, The Antioch Chamber Ensemble is currently
celebrating its 12th season of exceptional music-making, having made
its debut at the gala opening of the New Jersey Performing Arts Center
in 1997. Under the leadership of founding Artistic Director Joshua
Copeland, the ensemble strives to present as diverse a program as
possible of the world's greatest choral literature, both sacred and
secular, and has performed works ranging from Renaissance polyphony to
contemporary masterpieces with a core group of ten to twelve of the
New York metropolitan area's finest singers. In 2008, Antioch was
awarded first-place honors in the highly prestigious Tolosa
International Choral Competition in Spain, establishing them among the
top rank of professional choirs in the world. In recent seasons,
Antioch has been called "stellar," "flawless," "an exceptional group,"
and "a spectacular example of what a classical choir should sound
like" by the national press.

Antioch's past performance highlights include feature performances for
Carnegie Hall's Neighborhood Concert Series, the Trinity Wall Street
Noon-Day Concert Series, the American Choral Directors Association
Eastern National Conference and the Nautilus Music Festival in Nova
Scotia. In the coming season, Antioch will perform at the Curtis R.
Priem Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC) at
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, hailed by the New York
Times as a technological pleasure dome for the mind and senses. The
ensemble will premiere a piece by composer Bruce Adolphe at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of a special exhibition of works by
the Renaissance painter Agnolo Bronzino in March, and return to the
Piccolo Spoleto Festival in Charleston, South Carolina for their ninth
consecutive performance in the Choral Artists Series in May. In July,
Antioch will appear at the Musique en Morvan Festival and the Festival
des Choeurs Laureats in France, where they will give the premiere
European performance of American composer Eric Whitacre's The City and
the Sea.

Antioch's first full-length recording, Winter Songs, featuring the Mid-
Winter Songs by contemporary American composer Morten Lauridsen, was
released in December of 2003 to wide-spread acclaim. The ensemble's
second CD will be released by MSR Classics in 2010.

[HvEXAS] EMPAC Tonight! Chunky Move: GLOW | Thurs. 12/03 + Fri. 12/04 at 7 & 9 PM

Tickets still available!

PERFORMANCE
GLOW
Chunky Move/Gideon Obarzanek (Australia)
Thursday & Friday December 3 & 4, 7 & 9 PM
$15 / $10 / $5

http://www.empac.rpi.edu/events/2009/fall/glow/

Conceived as a "biotech fiction" by Australian choreographer Gideon
Obarzanek and interactive software creator Frieder Weiss, "Glow"
transforms a solo dancer into a mutant figure both sensual and
grotesque. As she slides and thrashes across a white floor, her form
generates a constantly shifting digital habitat of projected light.
Her smallest gestures are captured by an overhead tracking system,
while interactive video technology creates motion graphics that shift
in real time in response to her movement. The Sydney Morning Herald
called the piece "lasting in its eerie intrigue." The Age praised the
dancing as "flailing, joint-crunching action…a high-velocity missile,
with only occasional respite."

Tickets:

+ General Admission = $15.00
+ Rensselaer Faculty/Staff = $10.00
+ Seniors = $10.00
+ Student = $10.00
+ Rensselaer Student = $5.00

+ For tickets, directions, and other concerns, contact the EMPAC Box
Office at 518.276.3921 or visit the website at http://www.empac.rpi.edu/

Chunky Move bio:

Founded by Gideon Obarzanek in 1995, Chunky Move is a Melbourne-based
dance company that constantly seeks to redefine what contemporary
dance is, or what it can be. Its works include stage productions,
installations, site-specific works, and films. Chunky Move's multi-
tiered programming initiatives foster and support a strong and vibrant
dance culture in its home city while creating critically acclaimed and
popular larger productions for touring. Recent international
engagements include China, Poland, Japan, Germany, Netherlands,
Russia, Belgium, and Hungary. Obarzanek's film, Dance Like Your Old
Man, co-directed with Edwina Throsby, won best short documentary at
the 2007 Melbourne International Film Festival. In collaboration with
Lucy Guerin and Michael Kantor, he has also received a New York Bessie
award for Outstanding Choreography/Creation for Tense Dave. In 2008
Chunky Move won the Live Performance Australia Helpmann Award for Best
Dance Work for Glow and Best Visual or Physical Theatre Production for
Mortal Engine, a full-scale production that uses the same technology
as Glow.

Frieder Weiss bio:

Frieder Weiss is an engineer in the arts and an expert for realtime
computing and interactive computer systems in performance art. He is
the author of EyeCon and Kalypso, video motion sensing programs
especially designed for use with dance, music and computer art.

Weiss developed the video technologies and interactive stage
projections for Chunky Move's recent intermedia works Glow and Mortal
Engine. For his contribution on Glow he was rewarded with a Green Room
Award for Design in Dance.

Weiss teaches mediatechnology at the University of Applied Sciences in
Nürnberg, Germany, and the University Centre in Doncaster, UK. In
recent years he has collaborated in installation and performance
projects with Phase-7 in Berlin, Leine und Roebana in Amsterdam, Helga
Pogatschar, Cesc Gelabert in Munich, Chunky Move in Melbourne, Danish
Dance Theatre in Copenhagen. He maintains an ongoing collaboration
with Australian dancer Emily Fernandez, with whom he has created a
number of interactive performances and installations.

For Mortal Engine, the interactive floor projections were scaled up
for a larger stage and numerous dancers. The key principle remains a
tight, low latency interconnection with dancers' movements. The
graphical representations developed further into generative, particle
swarm-based visual worlds. Graphics are based on a video tracking of
performers' body outlines in realtime, finally culminating in a laser
projection of those outlines integrated into Robin Fox's laser
performance.

Thursdays is the new Friday, ya heard?

Nate da Great and White Lotus throw down funk, hip hop, disco and woah every Thursday this Fall, 9pm, at Daisy Baker's.

Every week this fall come drink a beer, max out and groove to White Lotus and Nate da Great. These two know good music for real. Nate da Great had one of the best hip hop shows e.v.e.r. on WRPI, and White Lotus is a regional veteran of rhyme-spitting and wax-scratching.

It's like woah.
