about the artists:

It is important to discuss art, to create a dialogue, a conversion of ideas. in doing so we can continually realize and define art and the action of expression. Focusing on a similiar connection to each medium –video, dance, and music– through the common thread of journey, illusion, question, and definition, VisualHornHonking, ActivePhaze, and Urban Wash Dance Company take us on an exploration of the human element in mulitmedia and create a dialogue about creation and convergence.

Peter Kirn media artist, electronic composer, and writer for the website createdigitalmusic.com has been working with camera mapping to create visuals, collaborating with dancer Christopher Williams as a part of Dance Theater Workshop’s Digital Fellows Program. Tonight’s performance features dancer Maré Hieronimus
Refraction occurs when a light ray changes mediums. Channeling occurs when WHITELITE’s optical semiconductor manipulates light digitally. The result is transcedental fidelity: information whose clarity, brilliance and color delivers content directly to your brain for maximum visual meditation.

Eric of Forward Motion Theater just got back from an aikido seminar in Chicago with friend and fellow aikidoist Erik Henriksen. Not having the time to recreate p.o.d., Holly suggested to show off some of what was going on last weekend. So Eric got Erik to spend some time in the FMT studio tossing each other around. The result is a bird’s eye view of this dynamic form and implores a continual dialogue of how to achieve the art from the martial.
