Utah Museum of Contemporary Art presents Interdisciplinary Arts Collective in a special intermedial performance of Cornelius Cardew's 1967 compositionTreatise, 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. 

Free and open to the public.
