EVENT HORIZONS: A ONE-NIGHT TOURING VIDEO & LIVE PERFORMANCE EVENT

Presented By: - Select Organization -
Venue: Project Space
Hours: Friday, June 18, 2010 from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM

Event Horizons is a touring program of new work by film, video, and new media artists Thomas Comerford (Chicago), and Sabine Gruffat & Bill Brown (Madison, Wisconsin). The one-night event will run approximately two hours.

This program includes a screening of Comerford’s The Indian Boundary Line, which follows a road in Chicago, Rogers Avenue, that traces the 1816 Treaty of St. Louis boundary between the United States and “Indian Territory.” In doing so, it examines the collision between the vernacular landscape and the symbolic one, and it suggests how this land and its history are an index for the shifting inhabitants, relationships, boundaries and ideas of landscape — as well as the consequences — that have accompanied the transformation of the “New World.”

Also featured is Gruffat & Brown’s Time Machine, a multimedia live performance in which the artists explore new ways of telling stories with technologies both cutting edge and obsolete, including slide projector, analog video switcher, record player, digital video projector, and computer. During the performance, the stage becomes the control panel for an immense ship and the projection screen a window through which different spaces and times are visualized, as Gruffat and Brown assume the role of space-time tourists driven by an exploratory urge.

Great cities have great and unforgettable mottos. The “Mile High City”, the “City of Brotherly Love”, and the “Music City,” to name a few. But what about Kansas City? Is our modest Midwest mentality preventing Kansas City from proclaiming its fame?

Meet representatives from each organization and find out the results of their combined creative efforts.

So, Chicago, keep your wind and New York, get some sleep! You’ll need it once Kansas City’s new image is unveiled!

The Outsiders

Presented By: Coterie Theatre
Venue: Coterie Theatre
Hours: Tuesday, September 13, 2011 from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM

It's 1965 and Ponyboy Curtis belongs to a lower-class group of Oklahoma youths who call themselves greasers. Walking home from a movie, Ponyboy is attacked by a group of Socs, short for Socials, a rival gang that threaten to cut him. So begins this impactful tale by S.E. Hinton, who wrote this landmark work as a teen in Tulsa.

The Socs jump greasers like Ponyboy and his friend Johnny for fun. When Johnny kills a Soc who was beating the two of them up, the pair goes into hiding. As Pony's world crumbles, it teaches him that pain feels the same whether a soc or a greaser.
