17.09.06 8 pm at Inwood Hill Park (off 218th Street, next to the Nature Center) The first event in the OUTWOOD series (experimental art in Northern Manhattan). OUTWOOD #1 An Improvised Happening for Musicians, Dancers and Video Artist at the Top of Manhattan Sunday, Sept. 17, 8 pm Inwood Hill Park free/donation OUTWOOD #1 is a multimedia happening for simultaneous live music, video mixing and movement coming together as multiple “solo” improvisations within a given time frame. The participants are free to act and react as they see fit while remaining aware of the fact that they are within a shared vicinity and working within a common timeframe. The participants are asked to remain aware of the fact that they are the center of a multidimensial “sculpture” which will grow since from beginning of the performance and will be destroyed immediately after it ends. The organic process of creation suggests staging the event outdoors. The Inwood Hill Park event video will include video projection onto tree leaves and the artists. Musicians will play along with ambient sounds and dancers will “transform” into trees and water. The company will include emerging and more established Inwood residents along with members of Brooklyn based CAVEnsemble and artists from other parts of the city, rediscovering together the beauty of Manhattan’s secret paradise. Grundik Kasyansky (direction, feedback synthesizer) w/ Kurt Gottschalk (banjo, bouzouki), Erika Hassan (movement), Juan Merchan (movement),Ninni Morgia (guitar), Shige Moriya (live video mixing), Gregory Reynolds (sax), Petre Radu Scafaru (reeds), Len Siegfried (guitar)
