[Voxnovus] 60x60 Dance in Kansas City - November 6th, 2009 - 7:30 PM

[Vox Novus List]

60x60 Dance debuts in Kansas City for an electrifying hour of new media

NOVEMBER 6th, 2009 (KANSAS CITY, KANSAS) New York City based Vox Novus will
team up with local choreographers to present 60x60 Dance, an exciting
performance of contemporary music and dance unlike any you’ve seen before.
60x60 Dance -- a one-hour multimedia extravaganza featuring an exciting mix
of contemporary dance, video and electronic music. Embracing a grass-roots
ideology, 60x60 Dance takes 60 one-minute audio works culled from an
international pool of emerging and established composers and assigns them to
dancers and video by Amiti Perry and Erin Bomboy.  The resulting
collaborations are presented, without interruption, as a continuous one-hour
performance synchronized to an on-stage analog clock.
 
"A minute can be plenty of time to express a whole gamut of imaginative
sounds and movements, or it can be a challenge, forcing the artist to
isolate what is most important in his/her work," Vox Novus's
founder/director Robert Voisey explains. "60x60's goal is to disseminate a
cross-section of aesthetics in an exciting format to a broad spectrum of
people."
 
Eclectic by nature, 60x60 Dance offers an unmatched diversity of styles,
making for a fast-speed, electrifying one-of-a-kind performance that never
ceases to surprise. Dance influences will range from ballet to postmodern
movements, while music includes neo-romantic, folk, tech-house, noise, rock
and everything but the kitchen sink. 

60x60 was originally conceived of as an electronic music project, collecting
60 second works by composers and sound artists from around the world. Since
2003, 60x60 has featured the work of more than 1200 composers in concerts
spanning the globe. From the beginning 60x60 was a natural vehicle for
collaborating with other art forms. Initially this included video,
photography and sculpture. In 2007, 60x60 teamed up with choreographers and
60x60 Dance was born. Since then this unique collaboration has produced
seven exciting shows, each featuring a different group of composers and
choreographers.

For the 2009-2010 season Vox Novus is taking 60x60 Dance on the road
beginning in Ohio and continuing through Kansas City, St Louis, New York,
and Montreal.
