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?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,?The 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?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?Mr. Hunter and his counterpart, Ms. Zahna Simon about the process of putting together this piece. I think it is going to be?fantastic.
The Meany Center would like to offer comp tickets to this performance.?Please follow the instructions below:
- Go to?this link?to get your tickets.
