2. Performance: Hexagons
Friday, April 7 at 6 PM
UGA Performing Arts Center, Ramsey Hall
"Hexagons" is the doctoral dissertation piece of DMA candidate K. Scott Eggert, and is the full demonstration of a modal theory Eggert himself devised, along the lines of Olivier Messiaen's theory of Modes of Limited Transposition. Each piece in the cycle of Hexagons is based in one of Eggert's "hexagonal modes." The sequence of pieces is intended as a musical journey modeled after the Tree of Life, from the spiritual practice of Qabalah, as a progression from the physical realm through successively higher phases of consciousness. The concert includes music for string quartet, saxophone quartet, and mixed ensembles with piano and percussion, and showcases some of the most talented instrumentalists of the School of Music.

4. Performance: Ritual Habit
Saturday, April 8 at 7 PM
Dancz Center for New Music
Hugh Hodgson School of Music Room 264
A collaboration by Hanna Lisa Stefansson and Andrea Trombetta that portrays the formation of a ritual as a search for balance with nature with the aid of three percussionists, a string player, a woodwind player, and four dancers in an electroacoustic performance with fixed and live electronics in a quadraphonic setup. This project seeks to explore several levels of collaboration between composers and choreographers, and the relationship between music and dance.

5. Dodd Dialogues: Rachel Debuque and Justin Plakas
Monday, April 10 at 1 PM
Lamar Dodd Room N201
Former ICE Graduate Research Assistant Rachel Debuque (MFA Sculpture 2013) and Justin Plakas (MFA Photography 2012) will discuss their careers after graduating from UGA.

Their multi-disciplinary background is reflected in their collaboration, PLAKOOKEE. PLAKOOKEE creates work that ranges from socially engaged residency projects, to installations, videos, and design. In this lecture, entitled "A Couple of Artists," Debuque and Plakas discuss the trials of balancing two academic careers, seeking employment, and creative fulfillment. This iteration of Dodd Dialogues will focus on how two Dodd Alumni have managed to foster a thriving collaborative project, a marriage, and two creative, academic careers. A question and answer session will follow the lecture.
Dodd Dialogues is a speaker series that has been launched to help current students explore their academic pathways and career options leading up to and following graduation. By connecting students early on with alumni in their careers, students are better able to picture and establish their own personal goals and career paths.
