The Conductor

 The Conductor
<http://www.voxnovus.com/NM421/issue/postcard/13-01-12-The_Conductor.jpg> 

Famed conductor Herbert von Karajan was so dedicated to perfecting his craft
that during the early 1960s he could often be found wielding his baton as a
nighttime traffic cop on Potsdamer Platz in central Berlin. His brisk
tempos, however, led to one calamitous vehicular incident after another, and
the Berliner Landespolizei finally had to boot him off the force.

Upcomming Performances 

 60x60 Dance <http://www.voxnovus.com/img/60x60_Dance_logo_2010_small.jpg> 


60x60 Dance
(2012) Canada Mix 


Wednesday January 16, 2013


60x60 is one frenetic hour of performance 

Music, dance and theatre students to stage a fast-paced hour of minute-long
works 

Sixty musical works, 60 seconds or less, played in succession for a total of
60 minutes, with a giant clock keeping count. 

That's 60x60, an event concept that's spread across the world in the decade
since it was created to showcase a maximum amount of new music to the
largest possible audience. Initially featuring music only, the format lends
itself to collaborations with artists from other disciplines such as video
and dance, each work of which also lasts 60 seconds. 

On January 16, Concordia's departments of Music, Theatre and Contemporary
Dance will join forces at the D.B. Clarke Theatre to present 60x60 ? Dance ?
Theatre 2013. 

"It's a multi-sensory production performance," says Eldad Tsabary, a
lecturer in the music department and former Canadian director of 60x60 who
brought the event to Concordia. 

"The opportunity to work with artists of other media is very inspiring," he
says. "It's interesting to see dance and electroacoustic students discussing
and using the same terms - such as 'texture' - but meaning different things.
This process expands their concepts of creativity." 

A dozen of the 60 juried compositions in the January show are by Concordia
students, while the rest are from composers across Canada. The works were
arranged into a macro-composition exactly one hour long and then uploaded,
in sequence, to a private webpage. The participating dance and theatre
students chose the pieces they wanted to interpret by visiting the page to
listen to the music and read the brief descriptions of the composers and the
works. 

"It's a bit like online dating," says Silvy Panet-Raymond, acting chair of
the Department of Contemporary Dance. She's made the event part of the
curriculum for the third-year choreography class, while it's optional for
those in second year. 

Erin Hill is one of the almost three dozen dance students who'll be
involved. "I think it's great, especially because of the constraints: the
more precise the rules, the more creative you can be, because you can't
question - as in, doubt - the time or the music." 

Several 60x60 events have been held at Concordia since 2008, including the
Canadian debut in 2009 of 60x60 Dance, for which dance students
choreographed works to accompany each composition. For the first time at
Concordia, theatre students will also take part. 

"I took into consideration the level of difficulty and how directing a small
group of performers could be easily done. Then I applied my specialization
in clown and worked off visuals," says student Kendall Savage of her
approach, which resulted in her creation of three separate 60-second
performances that could be inserted into any piece of music. 

Hill appreciates the rare opportunity to collaborate with her fellow
students in music and theatre. "It's such an important thing for people in
different disciplines to come together," she says. "It stimulates creativity
and community and it's so much fun." 

60x60 Dance in Theatre 2013 
January 16, 2013, from 6 to 7 p.m. 

D.B. Clarke Theatre, Room H-0050, Henry F. Hall Building (1455 De
