The TNO Afterparty :: Springtime Edition
Friday, May 28th, 2010
9pm-2am
FREE!  |  18 to get in, 21 to drink (ID required)
Daisy Bakers | 33 2nd Street | Troy, NY | 518-266-9200
This month:  Billy Bob, Ryan Kick, Back from Japan

Finally we have some decent weather for the patio at Daisy's, and just to be great we decided to cool down the weather for TNO. I can see it now, cool summer breezes, cocktails, and all the beats you can shake an ass to. 

To complement the weather, we're bringing back an old favorite of ours who hasn't played in quite some time, mr. Billy (Tiberius) Bob. Let's do some more visualizing, OK? OK. You're on the dancefloor, Billy Bob is blowing it up–you can barely handle it–and boom, his set is over. "What now?" you ask frantically. Suddenly, a shining glimmer of light in the distance; it's Ryan Kick. Saved. Feel that? The power of the imagination. "But wait Mr. Afterparty," you say, "I need to build up to dancefloor heat like that." And we agree, so we got Back from Japan to start it off. Someone told me you should buy him a shot.

DJs:
9pm-11pm: Back from Japan
11pm-12:30am: Billy Bob
12:30am-2am: Ryan Kick

The last friday of every month, come for Troy Night Out and stay out late with us! Daisy Baker's, 9pm-2am, FREE, dance till you can't.

[HvEXAS] Arts4everyone! Summer Classes!

 

"My son gained so much from the drama/art class. He enjoyed the classes, especially the "snowball" or "mud" fights. Acting out social situations has helped him in real life situations. We can't wait for class this summer. Your patience and creativity has helped my son out of his shell. The first class he was so timid and resistant but by the third class he was fully particpating. I can't say enough good things about your program.

Dear Parents and friends,

       Here it is! The long anticipated and much requested, announcement about Arts4Everyone! summer classes. Kids had a wonderful time last year in the Art and Drama classes and this year will be no different. I don't really need to say much to "sell" this program. All you need do is look at the faces of the children in the photos on the arts4everyone.webs.com web site and you will understand.

       This year I would love to include students with Down's syndrome. I think they would integrate wonderfully into this program!  I wish I had thought of it sooner.

      The benefits of a program such as this, especially for students who experience difficulty in social situations, are exceedingly clear. So, be sure not to miss out on this unique and wonderful opportunity for your children.

Sincerely,


Daniel Lubiner

[HvEXAS] EMPAC | Steve Lehman Octet | May 28, 8 PM

 

Email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser.
EMPAC
PERFORMANCE
Steve Lehman Octet
Friday, May 28, 8 PM
$15/10/5

Named a Rising Star on the alto saxophone four years in a row by the Downbeat Magazine International Critics Poll, acclaimed by publications from The Wire to The New York Times, Steve Lehman is a saxophonist and composer whose multilayered work stands at the frontiers of contemporary music. He marries the esoteric math- and computer-driven compositional principles of "spectral harmony" to the looseness and fluidity of jazz. Lehman will be playing with his handpicked octet, whose luscious smears of horns and vibraphone float over a sizzling rhythm section.

You can check out samples of Lehman's music here and here.

CONFERENCE
CYBERNETICS: ART, DESIGN, MATHEMATICS - A META DISCIPLINARY CONVERSATION
July 30—August 2, 2010

EMPAC invites you to join practitioners and theorists from four disciplines (art, cybernetics, design and mathematics) for a conference that will be held in a non-traditional format where the main activity is to explore by listening, talking and questioning (rather than listen to, and give, prepared lectures). A collaboration between the American Society of Cybernetics, the Rensselaer School of Architecture and EMPAC.

WORKSHOP
LIVE.MEDIA+PERFORMANCE.LAB
August 16—22, 2010

EMPAC will present its first summer lab for interactive media in performance this August 16-22, 2010. Directed by Johannes Birringer and Mark Coniglio, the workshop offers intensive training and possibilities for experimentation with mixed reality and real time architectures, programmable environments, interactive design and the integration of time-based media into live performance and installation.

The workshop addresses emerging and professional art practitioners, scientists, researchers, and students from different backgrounds in performance and new media committed to sharing their interest in developing a deeper understanding of composing work focused on real time, interactive or time-based experiences and multidisciplinary collaborative processes (video, sound processing, projection design, lighting, choreography, and directing).

Résumé and informal letter of application are due by June 30, 2010. More information on this workshop can be found on the EMPAC website.

Thursday, June 3 from 9 AM to 9 PM

The Curtis R. Priem Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center

Troy, NY, 12180
http://www.empac.rpi.edu/

EMPAC is holding open auditions on Thursday, June 3 from 9 AM to 9 PM
for a new production by composer/director Sean Griffin entitled "Cold
Spring", which will premiere at EMPAC on December 3, 2010.

We are looking for:

ages will be considered. Small groups of actors with shows under their
belt are encouraged to audition.

Each audition will last 10-15 minutes. Please schedule your audition
in advance by contacting Zhenelle Falk (EMPAC Artist Services
Coordinator) at 518.276.4036 or falkz@rpi.edu. Walk-ins will be seen

About "Cold Spring":

Sean Griffin's new work "Cold Spring" is a multi-faceted performance
event staged in the EMPAC Theater. Texts and performances assembled
from a broad array of sources from the American Eugenics Archive, pop-
culture, and local theater productions are staged into an anxious and
unresolved historical reinterpretation.

This work ties together performative orthodoxies from performance
artists and opera singers in Los Angeles, actors from Chicago, local
theater productions, and music ensembles. Griffin weaves these often-
conflicting performance styles into a complex, sometimes humorous,
sometimes frightening operatic spectacle.

---

About Sean Griffin:

Composer and interdisciplinary artist Sean Griffin lives and works in
Los Angeles. He has developed compositional and interdisciplinary
methodologies positioned at the intersection of sound and performance,
creating large and small-scale concert works, collaborative sound and
video installations, and film scores. His works have been presented by
Los Angeles' REDCAT, the Armand Hammer Museum, June in Buffalo, the
Whitney Biennial of American Art 2004, Berlin's Volksbühne, Secession
Vienna, London's Tate Modern, the Festival d'Avignon, the Taipei City
Arts Festival, the Walker Art Center, and Centre Pompidou.

Griffin has received fellowships and awards from the MacDowell Colony,
Meet the Composer Global Connections, American Composer's Forum, the
UC Center for Humanities, and the J. Paul Getty Center for Research in
the Arts. His research and writings have been published by Bomb
Magazine, the Walker, REDCAT, Secession Vienna, Nutida Musik, Lentos
Museum, Linz, and the Groves Dictionary of Music.

Griffin is a longtime collaborator with theater artist Catherine
Sullivan and has developed new works with artists such as
percussionist Aiyun Huang, performance artist Ron Athey, and
installation artists Edgar Arceneaux, and Charles Gaines. His current
work addresses rhythmic regimentation and conflicting behaviors in
performances by instrumentalists, vocalists, and actors. He holds a
Ph.D. from the University of California at San Diego.
