upcoming performances
Cagefest 2012
Mary LaBianca is presenting a new work in Cagefest 2012 at Barking Legs Theater April 20 & 21st at 8pm.
In honor of John Cage’s 100th birthday, and part of the Hatch 10×10 Festival, an evening of collaboration between composers and choreographers in a Cagean spirit, but with a flavor unique to our region will be presnted. Cage’s collaboration with choreographer Merce Cunningham is legendary not only for the extraordinary work they produced, but for their utilization of “chance procedures” as a key element of their creative process. Cagefest Chattanooga gathers 6 very distinctive composers from the southeast and pairs them by chance with 6 choreographers. Each pair shares an essay from Hope Beneath Our Feet: Restoring our place in the natural world edited by Martin Keogh as a starting point. They proceed to compose a short piece independently. As with Cage and Cunningham, music and dance will be brought together for the first time on the evening of the performance, making for surprising, unexpected and delightful juxtapositions of sound and movement.
