"This email is being forwarded on behalf of University of Washington Meany Center for the Performing Arts."

On?*March 28, at 7:30 pm,*?the UW Meany Center for the Performing Arts is showcasing a performance featuring a?Deaf dance company and a quartet [ [link removed] ]?and it will be?*ASL interpreted*. Please see the description below.

*Calder Quartet with Antoine Hunter?s Urban Jazz Dance Company*

"The Mind?s Ear: Motion Beyond Silence"

The Calder Quartet joins choreographer and Deaf advocate Antoine Hunter for an imaginative and joyful collaboration of chamber music and dance.

Developed by the Quartet and Hunter, and featuring dancers Hunter and Zahna Simon,?T"he Mind's Ear?"draws inspiration from the collaboration between Merce Cunningham and John Cage, as well as the musical interchange between Julius Eastman and Cage.

The program also offers a poignant insight into Beethoven's Quartet No. 13, written when his deafness had a profound impact on his life and work.

Take a look at?this video [ [link removed] ]?that was developed for the Deaf community and I am hoping you will share it with your community and contacts.

In addition, I had the honor of?interviewing [ [link removed] ]?Mr. Hunter and his counterpart, Ms. Zahna Simon about the process of putting together this piece. I think it is going to be?*fantastic.*
