Holcombe Waller and Ben Landsverk will perform a dramatically parred-down concert in this gorgeously expansive stage space. Titled "Visions of a song man," the evening presents songs and musical excerpts from Holcombe's recent interdisciplinary performances Surfacing (2011) and Into the Dark Unknown: The Hope Chest (2009). Holcombe and musical collaborator Ben Landsverk perform simplified arrangements that employ whittled-down vocals, small guitars, viola and piano to evoke ghostly renditions of folk, liturgical, ceremonial and popular music forms.

With Cynthia Hopkins and Miguel Guitierrez. Singer, songwriter and performance maker Holcombe Waller will be joined by fellow singer songwriter and performance maker Cynthia Hopkins and choreographer and music maker Miguel Gutierrez for a conversation exploring the indefinable genre of contemporary song-based performance. Their conversation will seek to elucidate an understanding of how song-based performance has the potentiality to arrive in a similar pefromative space as the work of more theater or dance based contemporary performance. In addition these artists will explore the specific realities around the creation of Wallers newest song-based performance, Surfacing, a collection of sung narratives exploring Catholic beautification, anarchist communist revolution, health care activism and the history-in-the-remaking of contemporary performance art, that toe the line between realism and fantasy.
