TOULMIN SHOWCASE — live event
Our 2024 Toulmin Fellows present a night of music and dance comprising their works-in-progress. Composers Erica "Twelve45" Blunt and Wang Lu and choreographers Ausia Jones and Tiler Peck will showcase works developed during their interdisciplinary fellowship that incorporate our Meyer Sound spatial sound system, live audio-visuals, electronics, and dance. Join us as we celebrate our mentees' progress in this culminating showcase! Erica ‘Twelve45’ Blunt (she/her) Composer, DJ, Spatial Sound Artist and Visual Artist, will showcase her work designed for the Meyer Sound Constellations Space Map at National Sawdust. Her project is an immersive storytelling experience featuring original music, spatial sound mapping, and live audiovisual performance. Developed while working with her mentor Alastair McMillan, Emmy nominee and the U2 tour spatial sound designer. Wang Lu (she/her) Composer and Pianist, will showcase her work for piano and voice, electronics, percussion and dance in collaboration with Madeline Hollander, dancer and choreographer. The purpose of this inquiry is to dig into a new potential liminal space of improvisation between dance and live interactive music where sound and physiology lead and feed off one another. Lu has been working with her mentor, Tania Leon, Pulitzer Prize winning composer. Ausia Jones (she/her) Dancer and Choreographer, is currently in the process of creating a duet featuring two dancers. Collaborating with Quentin Noble, an electronic composer based in Berlin, Ausia aims to delve into the boundless possibilities of choreography. Prior to presenting her work, Ausia will provide a brief overview of the creative process behind its inception. Tiler Peck (she/her) dancer and choreographer, will showcase her journey from dance to choreography, including her experiences at the New York City Ballet, and Turn It Out With Tiler, exploring the learning and developmental stages of the process. She has been working with her mentor, Shanta Thake, Director, and Chief Artistic Officer at Lincoln Center.
