ICP Orchestra + Ken Vandermark/Nate Wooley DuoA co-presentation with Ars Nova Workshop
Sunday January 11 | 8pm
Explore fantastic new sounds and far out sonic spaces with two groups of great experimenters.
ICP OrchestraRagtime to swing, composed pieces to improvisation, bop to free jazz, classical to carnivalesque, the ICP Orchestra continues its run at the forefront of experimental, category-bending music. Instant Composers Pool (ICP) is a collective of Dutch composers and improvisers, formed in 1967 by Misha Mengelberg, Han Bennink, and Willem Breuker.
Ken Vandermark/Nate Wooley DuoKen Vandermark is an American jazz composer and saxophone and clarinet player. A fixture on the Chicago-area music scene, Vandermark, a 1999 MacArthur Fellow, has earned critical praise for his playing and his multi-layered compositions, which balance intricate orchestration with passionate improvisation.
Nate Wooley is one of the most in-demand trumpet players in the burgeoning Brooklyn jazz, improv, noise, and new music scenes. He has performed regularly with John Zorn, Anthony Braxton, Fred Frith, Evan Parker, and Yoshi Wada. Wooley’s solo playing is often cited as part of an international revolution in improvised trumpet.

At the headquarters of an imaginary festival in Copenhagen, the performance artist Ivo Dimchev discusses with a curator the terms for presenting his latest show. What begins as a hilariously dry and realistic negotiation soon transforms professional protocol into a manifestation of sexual fantasy and power.
Ivo Dimchev is a choreographer and performer who concocts extreme and colorful mixtures of performance art, dance, theater, music, and imagery. Fest is performed by Nicola Schoessler, Annina Machaz, Mirko Feliziani, and Ivo Dimchev.

Performances followed by a Golden Karaoke Party.
At the end of time, three Osirian priests gather at a pseudo-Egyptian karaoke bar to perform their favorite tracks from the self-help repertoire. They sing, chant, and recite forgotten hits from the VHS vaults of gurus, cult leaders, corporate speakers, and extraterrestrial mediums.
All under the cosmic glow of an LED pyramid.
Royal Osiris Karaoke Ensemble (ROKE) is a musical priesthood that explores the psychic terrain of self-help movements at the turn of the 20th century. Everything One in the Disc of the Sun features Tei Blow, Siobhan Gandy, and Sean McElroy.

“The discovery of the evening, for me, was the zany duo of Chelsea Murphy and Magda San Millan.” Brian Seibert, The New York Times
“We are very playful. We believe almost religiously in laughing at each other and ourselves as a way to name our habits and find our fascinations. Laughter is a brake that says: stop for a second, the way you did that last thing was so strange and wonderful.” Magda San Millan of Chelsea & Magda

An evening-length concert of self-love, subversive humor, feminist spit, sexual-angst-ridden cries against society gloriously performed in an abstract-theater-meets-TED-Talk-meets-modern-dance-meets-weird-therapeutic-seminar kind of way.
The dynamic Philly-based dance and performance art duo Chelsea & Magda began creating work together two years ago. They’re not waiting thirty years to unearth their early works. They decided to do so now with a recombination and composting of everything the ladies have been up to since they met.

“When you watch the footage of Mohammad Ali it resembles the amorous game of attracting and rejecting one another. We also wanted to investigate the aesthetics of beating the living daylights out of one another.” Pieter C. Scholten, co-creator
“The balletic bouts of speedy steps, jabbed limbs and torqued torsos are choreographed in strict rotational symmetry and tied to the arrhythmic jitters of a percussive score.” The Guardian
Friday February 27 | 8pmSaturday February 28 | 8pm
A boxing match becomes a dance, a dance becomes a boxing match. Brothers are locked in an eternal bout of love and brutality and hate.
On a stage transformed into a boxing ring with audience seating on three sides, male fighter-dancers perform a virtuosic display of close combat-choreography. Be a witness to an animalistic courtship of intelligence, masculinity and physicality, extreme control and iron discipline of the boxing body and the dancing body. Until somebody gets knocked out.
Choreography and direction by Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten.
Rocco is inspired by Luchino Visconti’s 1960 classic neo-realist film, Rocco & His Brothers, and by fraternal rivalries of history and mythology. Since 1995 Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten have worked together to search for new dance forms.

Bone Chinoiserie and the Alabastard Cowboy by Vin Calianno A spaghetti western of classical music that takes its cues from the films of Michelangelo Antonioni and Quentin Tarantino, with an original film accompaniment.
still life with music (world premiere) by Ted BabcockAfter such classics as the Odyssey and Beowulf, this new work delves into the sonic and dramatic landscapes of epics.

Enjoy a special noontime performance in La Peg, accompanied by a one-time-only brunch menu created by La Peg’s executive chef Peter Woolsey and inspired by Debussy’s score.
The Debussy String Quartet, from 1893, was a pivotal work—a turning point in classical music away from, and beyond, what came before. It is the only known string quartet he ever composed, but it helped changed the creative direction of classical music forever.

Experience this large-scale multimedia performance at the intersection of video installation, rock concert, avant-garde cinema, and experimental classical and electronic music. Corp Exquis was created in the fashion of the parlor game exquisite corpse, developed by the Surrealists of 1920s Paris. Now, in concert form, the mix of live music, electronics, and stunning video art comes alive in an evening of supreme musicianship and visual grandeur.
