Fall 2008
Thursday October 2nd
 Performer, Composer, Politico Mark Enslin
focuses on creating events where composition, performance,
teaching and activism converge.
He helped found an experimental music
and theater performance group called the Performers' Workshop Ensemble,
as well as an experimental educational program known as a School for
Designing a Society.
On OCT 2nd @ 6:30 pm. in the Black Box Studio Theater, on the Stevenson Campus, Mark will perform the following:
Four Extravagant Solos
for guitar, percussion, keyboards, and actor
The Ground Whereon sings in a rain of thousands of notes falling from
a collision of flamenco and deaf alphabet; Cluster Book submits
symphonic ambitions to homemade keyboards of metal, wood, rubber and
water; Sonata Quijada unveils a sparse dramaturgy of toys, percussion
and testimony before Congress; and Crockett by Pamela and Wolf
Rosenberg revives a schizoid, spoken Operetta Americana for actor,
menacing object, and electro-acoustics.
A conversation will follow.
