  Having last worked together on the internationally acclaimed War Horse, Bristol Old Vic’s artistic director, Tom Morris, and South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company reunite to begin a new journey. Shakespeare’s inexhaustible A Midsummer Night’s Dream unfurls in the wooded ambience of The Broad Stage, interweaving the lives of lovers, actors, friends, foes and fairies. This is a ...Dream about love, transformation, survival and song, where a belief in the mystical presence of fairies isn’t mere superstition, but a magic lore encoded in the routines of a community living on the edge. Trees, objects and tools all pulse and tingle with the possibility of existence in a world where—thanks to the magic of Handspring—all objects can come to life.

  Mehfil Massive: South Asian Religions Remixed through Poetry and Music

  

  Wed, Apr 23, 2014 @ 07:30 PM - 09:30 PM

  USC Viterbi School of Engineering

  Receptions & Special Events

  
  

  Legendary South Asian musicians and poets will come together to celebrate and investigate the rich diversity of South Asian spiritual influences. From ghazals set to music and sung throughout the Muslim world to Rabindranath Tagore’s Nobel Prize–winning Gitanjali (Prayer Offering of Song), collaborations between poets and musicians have been a staple of South Asian religious life for centuries. In Mughal courts, nightly mehfils brought these performers together and elevated their collaborations to high art. This tradition will get a 21st-century update in a landmark evening featuring performances by internationally renowned diasporic South Asian artists including Sufi-influenced rock guitarist Salman Ahmad, vocalist and ten-string double-violin master Gingger Shankar, Mumbai-based dubstep DJ Bandish Projekt and hip hop artist and producer Brooklyn Shanti in collaboration with award-winning poets Kazim Ali, Tarfia Faizullah, Bhanu Kapil, Mandeep Sethi and Amarnath Ravva.The evening will be hosted by comedian/writer/performance artist D'Lo.
  
  Organized by Neelanjana Banerjee (Kaya Press), Varun Soni (Dean of Religious Life), Viet Nguyen (American Studies and Ethnicity) and Nayan Shah (American Studies and Ethnicity). Co-sponsored by American Studies and Ethnicity and the Office of Religious Life.

  Single Wing Turquoise Bird

  Sat, Apr 26, 2014 @ 07:30 PM - 09:30 PM

  USC Viterbi School of Engineering

  Receptions & Special Events

  
  

  Single Wing Turquoise Bird was among the most sophisticated of the 1960s and ’70s psychedelic light shows. Formed in 1968 in Los Angeles, “the Bird” accompanied legendary bands including Cream, the Velvet Underground, Sly and the Family Stone, Pink Floyd and the Grateful Dead. Later, they performed to music by Steve Reich, Terry Riley and other avant-garde composers. With a core group of seven artists improvising collectively in real-time, the group used overhead projectors, slide projectors and high-intensity 16mm film projectors to create swirling visual compositions made from multicolored immiscible liquids. Anaïs Nin described their shows as “like a thousand modern paintings flowing and sparkling.” The Bird reformed several years ago, adding new members and incorporating digital technologies. The group will present two performances accompanied by Serbian guitarist Miroslav Tadic. Each performance will be unique, as the images and music are improvised, reflecting the interplay between the members of the Single Wing Turquoise Bird and guest musicians.
  
  A three-day workshop will teach students about projected-light equipment, improvisation and collaboration in multimedia performance. The workshop is open to USC students only. For information about the workshop, please contact Christine Panushka at panushka@usc.edu.
  
  Organized by Christine Panushka (Animation and Digital Art) and David E. James (Critical Studies).
