THE COINCIDENTAL HOUR, hosted by Ric Royer

9:00pm, $6
AS220
115 Empire Street, Providence, RI

The Coincidental Hour is a night of curious meetings at the crossroads of performance. It’s an unconventional cabaret hearkening back to the days when this kind of cabaret never occurred because it hadn’t happened until now. Master of ceremonies Ric Royer will be your guide through a feast/feat of daredevilish crossings of striking and uncanny artistic occurrences.

Episode 3/25/2012: “I am most likely a ghost dreamed by a dreaming ghost”

In this episode, Ric can’t believe it. None of the performers are real. Mark Baumer, Laura Brown-Lavoie, Diana Joy, Stephanie Barber, Bonnie Jones and especially Lance Romance and his band of chicken federalists: No way, they are just figments of his imagination, or worse yet, images of coolness uploaded into my memory by Scion (the car). And what the hell are all those instructional videos on how to tie knots REALLY telling us? That’s what Ric asks in this most hypnagogic Hour of Coincidence.

PHILADEPHIA SOUND FORUM & AUX

Vox Populi, Philadelphia PA
View press release

This event will feature two pieces in composer/improviser Eric Laska’s Vigilance Improvisations framework:

“Mutability” performed by Bryan Eubanks and Eric Laska
“Recursion” performed by Bonnie Jones and Reed Evan Rosenberg

Vigilance Improvisations is a series of structured frameworks for improvising electronic musicians. The archetypical design consists of two musicians, one working with computer and the other with non-computer electronics,  improvising together while following unique visual scores. Each score corresponds to material changes related to the opposing musician’s instrumental sound source. The musicians are instructed to watch a designated meter vigilantly over the course of an improvisation all the while remaining conscious of the possible visual correlations that may or may not be provoked by a chance correspondence between a reading of the meter and the score. The scores are hosted in a folder online and the visual content therein is entirely sourced from the Internet. No recommendations are made concerning sound.

MATERIAL CONSTRUCTION: AN INVESTIGATION IN TEXT AND MOVEMENT AS ARTISTIC MATERIALS

A participatory event with Meg Foley of Moving Parts, Bonnie Jones, Laura Neuman, Megan Bridge and Peter Price of Fidget Space

In artistic practice and production, TEXT and MOVEMENT are materials with distinct texture, history, function, possibility, charge. This evening’s program includes (five) artists, working in choreography, performance, sound and the written word. Through a variety of multimedia performance, “reading” and participatory workshop, each of these artists will lead audience members through an embodied and communal investigation of TEXT and MOVEMENT: what they are, what they do, the overlap and interstice, the way instances of each construct space, bodies, and community, the possibility of a map, the relationships we find and make.
