1. Opportunity: Improvisation Workshop and Performance
Communion is a collaborative work uniting technology and the performing arts.
Ji Eun Moon is a grduate student in the Doctoral program in music composition and piano
performance at UGA. She is looking for other artists that explore or utilize improvisation in their
work.
Five guest speakers are needed to present and discuss how they utilize improvisation as a creative
tool.
Communion will be presented in a symposium atmosphere, divided into two sections: workshop
and performance. This project will present and create improvisational artwork through the
collaborative efforts of musicians, dancers, multimedia and the visual arts. Improvisational
techniques in dance, film, music, and lighting will be utilized on stage and projected in variety of
media. All improvisational techniques will be directed and decided by the random rolling dice.
Moon hopes the attendees, presenters and performers will utilize this platform to explore and
reveal the often overlooked or underutilized act of artistic collaboration.
If you would like to become involved with Communion, please contact:

2. ICE-Vision: Sweet Sweetback's Badasssss Song (Melvin Van Peebles, 1971)
Thursday, February 4 at 8 PM
Lamar Dodd School of Art Room S150
Film Studies major Will Stephenson continues ICE's informal weekly series, selecting a variety of
world cinema classics and subcultural curiosities.
"Melvin Van Peebles's 1971 independent film touched off a wave of imitative "blaxploitation"
features, few of which shared Van Peebles's startling originality and fierce attack. The story of a
male performer at a ghetto bordello and his run from the law, the film is a shrewd and powerful
mix of commercial ingredients and ideological intent. R, 97 min." -Dave Kehr (Chicago Reader)

boundaries of dance movement into flight. Created in collaboration with The UGA Breakdance
Club, "flying dancers" developed from CORE company members training with Wendy Hesketh,
Artistic Director of WIREAERIAL in Liverpool, UK, August 2009. Zugzwang (German for situation;
such as in a Chess game) choreographed by CORE alumni Matt Kent, Emily Kent and Denise
Moscardelli, will be performed by Matt Kent, who currently tours world-wide as Creative Director
for Pilobolus Dance Theatre after performing with the company for over a decade. Threshold 2010
is inspired by the Holosync method of Bill Harris, who explores connecting right and left brain-
wave patterns through alpha-theta stimulus to gain greater awakening of the mind. Turn the Page
and Pink's Sober (a tribute to Pink's 2009 MTV Music Awards Performance) promise exciting aerial
dance on lyra, silks and trapeze. The Jane Willson Professor in the Arts endowed professorship
awarded to Bala Sarasvati generously supports all of the new creative works.
Temporary Excursions With a Relative Departure In Mind returns original film backdrop created by
Mark Callahan, Artistic Director of ICE. This dance has been performed in NYC and throughout
China by CORE alum. Rainforest Dreams ('97) reveals spirits of the Amazon; Rio De Generated ('09)
