Bill Kohn, artist and neighborhood resident, is working with members from other faculties at Washington U. on a multi-media concert based on his paintings. “Fusion”: A “DanceMusicPainting” is the title of the theatre piece to be presented at Edison Theatre, Washington University, December 3, 4, and 5, at 8:00 p.m.
The work is the composite of ideas, music, dance and visuals by Bill Kohn, composer Thomas Hamilton, dancers Peggy Berg and Mary Jean Cowell, directed by Edison Theatre Director, Jack Brown.
The piece draws on the resources of dance, electronic music, theatre lighting, projected images, and paintings. The concept for “Fusion” has its origins in an earlier collaboration between Kohn and Hamilton in which the art objects (the paintings and music) were conceived as very separate entities. This production incorporates kinetic motion through image projection and dance in a further exploration of the painting and music statements.
The admission price is 1 thin dollar.
