II.
With gracious support from the Trust
for Mutual Understanding, KINODANCE will welcome
in St. Petersburg members of world-famous Alloy
Orchestra (USA), and two maverick digital artists
Paul Kaiser and Marc Downie of
the Open
Ended Group.
Besides
presenting dance film installation(s)
at KINODANCE, Kaiser and Downie
will hold a screening/discussion of their work that features
their collaboration with Merce Cunningham, Bill T. Jones and
Trisha Brown and will hold a master
class for artists who would like to work with programmers,
for artists who can code, open source advocates & programmers
(who know Java and Python -- and perhaps Scala), scientists;
interface designers interested in collaborations with artists.
Alloy
Orchestra, a three
man musical ensemble (Ken Winokur, Roger Miller, Terry Donahue),
writing and performing live accompaniment to classic silent
films, will perform one or two of their scores with the masterpieces
of silent cinema era choreography by Bustor Keaton and/or
Charlie Chaplin. The orchestra is particularly known for blending
unusual combination of found percussion and state-of-the-art
electronics. Utilizing their famous "rack of junk"
and electronic synthesizers, the group generates their scores
in a spectacular variety of styles. They can conjure up a
French symphony or a simple German bar band of the 20's. Stay
tuned for details!
