"This is a Story" at Westside CultureFest

IAC is thrilled to be returning to the Westside CultureFest with excerpts from our latest work-in-process.“This is a Story” is an experimental opera about the multiverse and the worlds/beings that populate it. The opera unfolds in a modular series of linked vignettes, each set in a different world with its own distinct sound styles, colors, materials and textures, movement languages, etc. Music, spoken and sung text, lights, and dance form the starship by which we navigate these worlds and encounter other bodies.

Join us on August 15 for an early, intimate look at some of the worlds we’re building. Free and open to the public! Studio 5400 at the festival.

The Sessions: embodied community gatherings

Listening | Moving | Dreaming

Moving Sessions: a space to explore motion and dance. Moving Sessions are open-level dance classes hosted on the first and third Tuesday of each month. In contrast to a traditional dance technique class, Moving Sessions are focused not on codified shapes and styles, but instead on the connection between body and mind. Using improvisation-based prompts, individuals are encouraged to let imagination guide their bodies through new and unexpected movement pathways. We all have bodies that move and think and dance – Moving Sessions are meant as an open, playful, imaginative space to deepen your relationship with your body and how it moves.

Treatise at UMOCA
Aug
28

Treatise at UMOCA

Interdisciplinary Arts Collective performs an intermedial realization of Cornelius Cardew's 1967 composition Treatise, featuring electro-acoustic music, dance, poetry, and projections.

A seminal work in the development of notational practices in Western experimental music history, Treatise is a graphic musical score that consists entirely of lines, curves, symbols, and white space across 193 pages. Musicians are asked to interpret these graphics into sound.

IAC's performance of Treatise expands the interpretive possibilities of Cardew's musical score into an interdisciplinary performance. Both musicians and dancers translate the notation into sound and movement, accompanied by spoken poetry and projections of the score for the audience to read in real-time alongside the performers. Together, the musicians, dancers, and poets explore what is at stake as a community when we engage with collective decision-making, individual agency, and how sound, bodies, and language can shape and challenge perceptions of reality.

Staged as part of a curatorial double-bill with Sol LeWitt’s Wall Drawing No. 309, on loan to UMOCA from the National Gallery of Art. Join us upstairs at 6:00pm for a talk on the LeWitt led by a UMOCA curator. IAC’s performance begins downstairs at 6:30pm and lasts until 8:30pm. Visitors are welcome to come and go as they please and to explore the UMOCA exhibitions during the performance.


This event is free and open to the public, but advance registration is recommended.

An Undiscovered Room at the Great Salt Lake Fringe Festival

An Undiscovered Room at the Great Salt Lake Fringe Festival

Interdisciplinary Arts Collective comes to the Great Salt Lake Fringe Festival with An Undiscovered Room – an immersive journey into lost and hidden spaces.


Over the course of the performance, the audience travels through a maze constructed inside the venue with a series of poles and stitched-together curtains of found and recycled materials. 

The performers of Interdisciplinary Arts Collective - dancers, musicians, poets, and actors - navigate the space alongside the audience. Specific conditions inside the maze, such as an encounter with another person, a shift in sound or lighting, etc., triggers performance scores for the artists. Dance, music, and text emerge from these encounters as each score is performed and the work unfolds in a constantly evolving labyrinth of experience, discovery, and connection. 

An Undiscovered Room is interested in practices of orientation and attunement… in how we might move through the spaces where visibility and certainty twist back on themselves to blur into possibility. IAC designed the maze as a living, resonating space that invites curious travel and encourages its voyagers to explore spatial, sonic, and embodied relationships as we affect and are affected by our encounters with each other. We look forward to meeting you there among the twists and turns. 


July 24, 7:30pm; July 25, 4:30pm; July 26, 9pm | Alliance Theatre, Main Hall

IAC at Little Stages

The Blocks Arts District’s Co-Create initiative is collaborating with Yardwork Presents for Little Stages - the debut of new modular 4’×4’ micro-stages tucked between 100 S & 200 S where dancers, musicians, and street performers will bring downtown to life—one small stage at a time. And we’ll be there!

Interdisciplinary Arts Collective is alchemizing the Little Stages into little worlds. Over the course of a 45-minute performance, audience members can explore the new galaxy dotted across Main Street as constellations of artists use music, movement, and poetry to shape and embody landscapes of sand, metal, growing vines, toxic sludge, and scraps of paper.

Catch our set from 4:30-5:30pm, then stick around to see Battery Percussion Ensemble and Taku Ishikawa & co.

Thursday, October 9. Between 100 S and 200 S on Main Street. Free and open to the public, come and go as you please!
