SAN DIEGO NEW MUSIC PRESENTS A PROGRAM CURATED BY CHARISSA NOBLE

Whether through symbolism, electronic collage, or multimedia performance, innovative artists offer new perspectives on what narrative is and how music can immerse us in it. Though modernism often steered clear of using music as a plot device, musical mavericks of the 20th and 21st century have explored diverse, novel approaches to "narrative" in music. Featuring recently revived works by WPA-era composer Johanna Beyer as well as new music by emergent local composers Francisco Eme and Kristopher and Dina Apple, this concert traces the journey of "narrative" in modern music through a vibrant assemblage of evocative pieces.

Dance with Adam Belt's "Sojourner"

Dance with Adam Belt's "Sojourner"

Dina Apple and Leslie Armstrong dance with Adam Belt's pop-up installation Sojourner. Live music Sacred Geometries by Kristopher Apple with text by Stephen Silke.
Thursday, April 26, 2018, 6:00-6:30pm at the Broadway Pier

Commissioned as part of the Port Spaces curatorial initiative, Sojourner will be on exhibit on Broadway Pier from April 13 through April 29, 2018 from sunrise to sunset. Sojourner offers a sensory experience influenced by our coastal areas, wetlands, parks, and piers. Inside Belt’s temporary art-room, visitors experience an alternate, meditative world, enveloped by a visual orchestra of reflections. The structure features a reflecting pool and opposing floor-to-ceiling mirrors that cast the effects of rippling light on the water’s surface out to an infinite horizon. Visitors can pass through the space or sit on interior seating to experience the work, and have a quiet reflective moment. 

Belt is a San Diego-based Artist whose work incorporates the experiences and phenomenon of natural forces. He states of Sojourner: “I am looking to create an experience that is both intimate in its small scale and movement of water while also expansive in its reflection.” Belt is represented by Quint Gallery in La Jolla and has exhibited widely in the United States. His work is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego.

Though It May Shift by Erin Tracy

  • Potiker Theatre, La Jolla Playhouse (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Thu-Sat, Feb 2-4, 2017, 7:30pm, Sun Feb 5, 2pm

Sheila & Hughes Potiker Theatre, UCSD

General Admission: $20
UCSD Faculty/Staff/Alumni Association, and Seniors (over 62): $15
UCSD Students/UCSD Alumni Association (with ID): $10 

Though It May Shift is a dance and theatre work constructed of interwoven solos, simultaneous actions, and chance meetings. The piece is built collaboratively with a team of playwrights, musicians, and performers as it explores the coinciding intimacy and duality of solo structures in performance. The work makes space for the prismatic quality of identity while embracing its inconsistencies, aberrations, and incongruities. Though It May Shift investigates the intrinsic tension between the contrasting forces in language and movement, linear and nonlinear, simultaneous and singular. Ultimately, it posits that our perception of one another and what we actually know is perpetually building, one upon the other, to create fragments and suppositions that construct our relationships.
