Imprint
Saturday, January 23, 2010 7:00pm at the Museum of Anthropology
Imprint is an interdisciplinary work created by choreographer Henry Daniel and composer Owen Underhill for the Celebration of Creativity and the launch of the new MOA. The live performance will take place as part of the opening day celebrations at 7 p.m. on Saturday Jan. 23rd, 2010. A collaborative process involving the principal creators, MOA Curator Jill Baird, Kwakwaka’wakw participants Chief Robert Joseph and William Wasdan, and the Turning Point Ensemble has led to a unique contemporary work that responds and extrapolates from Kwakwala language and song to new music, dance and technology. The intention of the creators is to explore the imprint of cultural artifacts and stories as transmitted from place to place, time-to-time, and person-to-person. The Imprint performance will be site-specific, beginning in the Great Hall and dispersing out to other parts of the Museum including the Multiversity Galleries. Elements of Imprint include 7 live musicians of the Turning Point Ensemble performing music composed by Owen Underhill, a soundscape based on the recording of Chief Robert Joseph in the Kwakwala language, 7 dancers choreographed by Henry Daniel, and telepresence technology developed by engineers Ivan Bajic and Jie Liang with Daniel through a Canada Council/NSERC new media grant.
