TheDecisionParty_2023_Xcerpt#1

On the occasion of CalArts 50th Anniversary, The Decision Party was presented as two 4-hr long performances. It is based on a poem and is a piece that embodies the idea that improvisation is a series of highly attuned decisions. Within the form of a multimedia immersive installation, an ever-evolving landscape created by improvisational performers (sound, image, dance) with staggered overlapping shifts unfolds.

These excerpt are from the 2nd half of the Saturday, April 29 performance with:

Kate Morales & Stephanie Zalatel, dance

Valerie Daval, live drawing

Theo Rasmussen, live camera

Cassia Streb, viola, concrete objects

Tim Feeney, percussion
