Marchland at the MCA!

Posted in Current News with tags , , on February 4, 2010 by Tim Daisy

Please come out and support the incredible work of The Seldoms. The Seldoms make contemporary dance that translates inquiry into movement and amplifies its impact through collaboration with image, sound, text and location, providing an avenue for audiences to experience relevant and engaging dance.

I am very excited to have the opportunity to perform with this unique ensemble on March 12th,13th, and 14th at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago.

For Marchland, The Seldoms’ Artistic Director Carrie Hanson collaborates with visual artist Fraser Taylor to create a new ensemble work about mark-making, border/boundary and contested spaces. Hanson was inspired by Taylor’s video, CREVICE, a frenetic animation and sound piece that he created with Nicholas O’Brien by making minute drawings directly onto the surface of clear 16mm film, later capturing the projected film with digital video. Marchland combines video, sculpture, live percussion by Tim Daisy and costume design by Chicago fashion designer Lara Miller with idiosyncratic movement, mimicking the same flickering, erratic, and charged qualities of Taylor’s video.

March 12 & 13 at 7:30pm

The Rempis Percussion Quartet

Monday January 25th :: Elastic Arts 2830N Milwaukee Ave 9pm
Tuesday January 26th :: The Sugar Maple 441E Lincoln Ave Milwaukee WI 8pm
Wednesday January 27th :: The Hideout 1354W Wabansia Ave 10pm

Check out this weeks Chicago Reader Critic’s Choice:

Last year’s The Disappointment of Parsley (Not Two), recorded in April 2008, is the best document yet of the Rempis Percussion Quartet’s thrilling combination of fiery melodies, churning polyrhythms, and dynamic leaps between detail-rich quietude and full-on walls of sound. But bandleader Dave Rempis, who plays alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones, isn’t afraid to mess with success if it’ll keep the music evolving. Concerned that certain patterns were recurring too frequently in the combo’s improvisations, in spring 2009 he decided to replace its fulcrum, selflessly solid bassist Anton Hatwich. So far I’ve only heard new bassist Ingebrigt Haaker Flaten play with the RPQ in a video posted to Rempis’s Web site, where he’s so undermiked that it’s impossible to tell what he’s doing, even when drummers Tim Daisy and Frank Rosaly lay out. But based on years of seeing him and Rempis in other ensembles I’m willing to bet that his style—more aggressive than Hatwich’s—will make the mercurial relationship between the quartet’s one-man front line and its sizable rhythm section even more volatile. These gigs (they also play Monday at Elastic) are part of a brief tour, after which the RPQ will enter the studio to record their first album with Haaker Flaten. —Bill Meyer
