The International Institute for Critical Studies in Improvisation (IICSI), the College of Arts, the Ontario Agricultural College, and the School of English and Theatre Studies at the University of Guelph are pleased to co-host the multimedia presentation Wolf Lake Tones on Friday May 18th, at Silence (46 Essex Street in Guelph, at 7 pm).
Poets Madhur Anand, Gary Barwin, and Phil Hall will be joined by musicians David Lee (double bass) and Georgia Urban (saw) as well as singers Megan De Roover, Shannon Kingsbury, Brian Lefresne, Liane Miedema, Sue Smith, and Carey West (all as voices of birds), for this improvisational exploration of the interconnection between the human and the non-human, between language and the environment.
Wolf Lake Tones is a multimedia presentation incorporating music, poetry, art, and environmental sound. How does language map the environment and how does the environment map language? Wolf Lake Tones is a tripartite performance filled with the murmuration of species' names, an irruption of birds, and a choral forest, where the note matches a natural resonating frequency of the body, and amplifies, and expands.
This event is free and open to the public. Seating is limited.
