SUMMARY:Auto-Body-Graphic II
DESCRIPTION:UK-based dance maker Vincent Cacialano brings the second installment of his radical dance performance Auto-Body-Graphic. The evening’s program also includes two dance films\, collaborations between Cacialano and Alan McDermott\, and an opening act of electronic music by My Brother Daniel. \nDoors at 6:45pm. \nVincent Cacialano is the Programme Leader in Dance in the Department of Contemporary Arts at Manchester Metropolitan University in England. \nAlan McDermott is an Associate Lecturer in the Department of Contemporary Arts at Manchester Metropolitan University. He teaches the Feldenkrais Method\, does design work\, architectural illustration\, film\, installation\, and visuals for live performances. \nMy Brother Daniel has performed in a full spectrum of venues. The music is heavily influenced by chiptune\, ambient electronica and noise\, but contains trickles of freeform jazz\, funk\, and punk. \nAnimation (3 minutes\, McDermott and Cacialano) is a short video exploring choreographic dance movement through the premise of the enhancement of movement beyond the range of dancers’ bodies. \nCyclonic (20 minutes\, McDermott and Cacialano) is dance film exploring circles of movement in space and circles of movement in the body\, representing natural occurrences of wind and weather patterns. \nAuto-Body-Graphic II (20 minutes\, Cacialano) is a dance-media performance in collaboration with the Internet\, exploring how language\, media\, and technology form and imprint meaning in the body and the mind. \nReviewing the first installment of Auto-Body-Graphic (performed among other places at Trident Gallery in August 2014)\, Trident Live Art Series Director Sarah Slifer Swift wrote: \n“Auto-Body-Graphic brought into view how the Internet is affecting culture\, and how that in turn is affecting our bodies. Beginning and ending with twerk instruction — first for Cacialano via amateur Internet video\, and then for audience via Cacialano — the piece gets right into the lowest-common-denominator factor that is the internet’s champion and folly. Cacialano toys with contrasts of quality and sophistication\, pop to high-brow\, and varying degrees of proficiency clash in sometimes humorous\, sometimes painfully poignant ways. He executes highly tuned\, sophisticated dance phrases in front of video of an aerobics class\, with audio about social-psychology\, giving a total effect that you are at once being brain-washed and enlightened watching it unfold. Observation and exploitation are explored further in the work with Cacialano stripped down to his underwear standing watching while images of sexy lady pop-dancers 1950 to present are projected on his body. The result is politically profound — a male solo that becomes a feminist work. But more than that it is a deep sociological\, somatic\, performative investigation into our changing world of total\, unfettered access to digital information — it’s `liveness’ a gauntlet-throwing challenge to the future cultural landscape.” \n\nAbout Live Art Series Performances\nA $10 suggested donation compensates the artists. \nPerformances of 30–45 minutes are followed by refreshments and informal conversation among guests and artists. \nWalk-in guests are welcome. The capacity for guests varies with the performance configuration and is not known in advance. A conservative\, fixed number of seats are designated for reservations. To reserve seats\, please \n\nuse the online RSVP form at the bottom of the event’s page on the Matthew Swift Gallery web site\nsend email to events at TridentGallery.com [Note: this email address is no longer valid]\nvisit or call the gallery\n\nGallery staff or an automated email will respond to confirm seat reservations or describe the alternatives. \nPlease do express interest and intentions for Matthew Swift Gallery Facebook events\, but unconfirmed Facebook responses cannot be construed as reservations. \nUnreserved guests are usually accommodated comfortably: they will be invited to occupy empty seats at the scheduled start time. When seats are fully occupied\, standing room and sometimes floor seating are normally available. \nIf unforeseen circumstances require postponement or cancellation\, notices will be posted on the gallery website and social media (Facebook and Twitter). \n\nFounding support for the Live Art Series is provided by Matthew Swift Gallery\, which furnishes the venue\, provides publicity\, and guarantees minimum compensation to the performing artists. Supplementary fiscal support in 2015\, 2016\, and 2017 has been provided by the Massachusetts Cultural Council. \n\n \n\nNote: When you reserve\, you will get an email reminder. Though it is called a “ticket\,” you do not need to print or bring it.
