Bright Moments and the Camas High School Choir Push Musical Boundaries in Upcoming Performance DATE: March 21, 2018 CONTACT: Ryn McCoy, [email protected] Bright Moments and the Camas High School Choir Push Musical Boundaries in Upcoming Performance Bright Moments and the Camas High School Choir Friday, April 13 Doors 6:30pm / Show 7:00pm Portland Institute for Contemporary Art (PICA) 15 NE Hancock St, Portland $10 advance, $12 at the door Tickets at http://bit.ly/2IuBu5F On Friday, April 13, join Bright Moments and the Camas High School Choir for an unforgettable concert that explores the exponential advancement of human technology and the notion of human progress. This concert is a collaboration of the Camas High School Choir under the direction of Ethan Chessin, indie-rock musician and composer Kelly Pratt, and arts education nonprofit Young Audiences of Oregon & SW Washington. Building on the success of a composer-in-residence partnership that Young Audiences fostered two years ago between experimental art-pop band AU and the Camas High School Choir, Pratt has been working with Chessin and his students this school year to create an original, hour-long performance for a rock band, horns and 200 high school singers. The choir will be performing new music composed by Bright Moments, Pratt’s solo project, specifically for this collaboration. The concert blends together a wide array of styles and genres — from afrobeat to metal to more traditional choral music — into a compelling intergenerational musical experience. In addition to Pratt, the high school singers and brass players will be joined by pillars of the local professional music community Dana Buoy, Lorna Krier and Justin Miller. “The combination of wistful, haunting, and energetic songs takes the audience on a roller coaster of emotion,” says choir student Laura Teames, a junior at Camas. Senior Tyler Vaughan adds, “It’s the youth of the world teaching you a lesson that will stick with you forever.” The performance will be enhanced by simultaneous video projections created by the students in collaboration with Portland-based film director Alicia J. Rose. The program culminates in three performances. The choir will perform at Camas High School for friends, family and faculty before their public concert in Portland, which will take place on April 13 at PICA. They will then go on tour to Seattle to perform at The Vera Project on May 24. And the students involved in this several-months-long project come away with more than just performances. Working closely with Chessin and Pratt, Young Audiences facilitates a Business of Music program that connects students with professionals in the music industry, such as film director Alicia J. Rose, recording engineer Jason Powers, and artist manager Gina Altamura among others. This year’s program focuses on familiarizing students with the creation and distribution of recorded music in the internet age. “Throughout this experience, these students have surpassed my expectations as they respond to every challenge with enthusiasm,” says Chessin. “This show is proof that youth voices should be taken seriously — their wisdom, talent, and passion radiates from every aspect of the performance.” The Camas High School Choir program has earned praise around the Northwest for its engaging performances of unique, diverse repertoire, including collaborations with local musicians Sama Dams, Alan Singley, Point Juncture, WA, AU/Luke Wyland and more. In recognition of his dedication, innovation and excellence as teacher, Chessin was named Regional Teacher of the Year and Camas School District Teacher of the Year in 2017. Bright Moments continues the choir’s trend of cutting-edge collaborations. From 2006–2012 Pratt was a full-time member of indie-pop outfit Beirut, contributing arrangements, brass/woodwinds, and vocals. He has performed and recorded with hundreds of artists including Arcade Fire, LCD Soundsystem, Coldplay, and Passion Pit. In 2012 and 2013, he collaborated with David Byrne and St. Vincent, providing arrangements for their album “Love this Giant,” as well as serving as arranger and musical director for their world tour. The collaboration with Camas High School Choir is one of many arts education programs facilitated by Young Audiences of Oregon & SW Washington. Young Audiences offers a full range of educational arts programming in multiple disciplines and cultures and serves over 70,000 students in more than 200 schools and community sites each year. The organization supports a roster of talented teaching artists, bringing them into collaboration with schools for artist residencies, workshops and performances; and partners with local schools, arts organizations, artists and community members to inspire young people and expand their learning through the arts. This program is supported by the Camas Education Foundation, The Oregon Arts Commission and the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art (PICA). KBOO-FM and XRAY.fm are media sponsors of this concert. .

It has been accepted for inclusion in Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository by an authorized administrator of Scholarship@Western. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract Using Antoine Hennion’s “anti-musicology”, this research project proposes a methodology for studying music production that empowers production choices as the primary analytical tool. It employs this methodology to analyze Kesha’s Rainbow, Janelle Monáe’s Dirty Computer, and St. Vincent’s Masseduction according to four, encompassing groups of production elements: musical elements, lyrical elements, personal elements, and narrative elements. All three albums were critical and commercial successes, and analyzing their respective choices offers valuable insight into the practice of successful producers that could not necessarily be captured by methodologies traditionally used for studying production, such as the interview.

  • Associate Artists Working with Will Cotton
    Associate Artists working with Will Cotton Taissia Basaria Taissia Basaria was born in 1987 in Mytishchi, Russia. Her work combines the aesthetics of 19th century Romanticism with Russian regionalist painting traditions and using HD technologies of today to illustrate that all is not lost in the fight for the conservation of nature and the people who inhabit it. A big part of the inspiration behind the work was Basaria’s childhood spent next to the Elk Island National Reserve and witnessing firsthand the connection between humankind and the wilderness. Basaria received her BFA from Pratt Institute in 2010. In 2016 she was awarded the Trelex residency in the Amazon region of Peru. In 2017 Basaria returned to the Amazon in collaboration with Tambopata Macaw project to document bird conservation in the region. In 2019 Basaria received her MFA from New York Academy of Art and was awarded the Altos de Chavon teaching residency in the Dominican Republic. Basaria currently lives and works in New York City. Gabe Cortese Born in Key West, Florida, Gabe Cortese is a Florida- based figurative painter. Cortese graduated in 2017 from the University of Central Florida with a BFA and is currently pursuing his MFA at UCF in Studio Art. Interested in intersectional identities and the male body, Cortese’s work is centered around his identity as a queer Latino male. In his work he explores topics of otherness, gender performance and sexual identity. Growing up in “American” culture but becoming intricately immersed in his Puerto Rican and Argentinian roots, he is conscious of the standards of masculinity as each culture defines it.

  • Turnerian Rebel
    DBS SCHOOL OF ARTS TURNERIAN REBEL UNCOVERING THE ANTHROPOLOGIST VICTOR TURNER’S LIMINALITY IN MODERN PERFORMANCE LAURA MONKS MAY 2014 SUPERVISOR: DR PAUL HOLLYWOOD THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE BA (HONS) FILM, LITERATURE AND DRAMA Abstract This thesis shall utilize the anthropological studies of Victor Turner to focus on the capacity for an individual, or Turnerian Rebel, to induce ambiguous, and thus possibly revolutionary, symbolic exchange on the musical and theatrical stage. Many Western twentieth century cultural theorists, including Jean Baudrillard, view that traditional forms of social communication have become increasingly attenuated in the light of technology, industry and capitalism. As a consequence the possibility for rebellious social drama is dampened. Through the prism of such critique the discussion will focus on the potential that remains in artistic performance. Firstly there will be an exploration of Turner’s concepts of breach, liminality and communitas, originally observed in ritual and social drama of the Nbemdu African tribe in the nineteen fifties and sixties. This will identify the dynamic nature of social structures and, through symbolic performance, the possibility for the liminal individual to ignite a change or alteration. After which works by playwright Sarah Kane and musician David Byrne shall be analysed to conceive their own rebellious liminality. Ultimately by exposing their breach of social norms, identify the capacity of the modern Turnerian Rebel to create new possibilities for their community. 1 Acknowledgements Thank you to my supervisor Dr. Paul Hollywood for his support and guidance not only with my thesis but over the last four college years.
