Music Hall Experience

Details

Collective Memory

Collective Memory examines how art continues to live beyond the moment of its enactment through the continual reassembly and reinterpretation of fragments within the collective mind. Accompanied by an original score composed by Patche, sound and image evolve together, moving through moments of tension and silence, transformation and dissolution, to create an immersive audiovisual experience that mirrors the fluid nature of memory. The work seeks to momentarily reconcile fragments of the Music Hall before inevitably becoming fragments itself.

PULSE

PULSE turns the Music Hall into a living body of sound. Hands — our earliest instruments—tap, brush, and clap against its surface, awakening its hidden rhythms. What begins as a tactile exploration grows into an infectious pulse, as inviting gestures draw the audience in.

Sound: Sören Schaudel

The Common Ascent

The Common Ascent renders the shifting conception of the individual in American life over the past 250 years, through fleeting vignettes: from the rugged cartographies of the frontier, to imposing steel girders off industrial expansion, to the luminous circuity of our integrated modern era. Copeland's score and the Music Hall's architecture serve as the canvas for a visual reminder of the agency of the individual, and the power of the collective.
