The Mills College Music Department and Songlines Series present:

MARGARET FISHER: Performance and Video

Monday, Mar. 17th
7:30 pm
Ensemble Room, Music Building

Admission: FREE

Choreographer and videographer Margaret Fisher presents an evening of 
live performance and screenings of recent video works. Ms. Fisher's 
movement pieces partner a new brand of gestural choreography to rhythmic 
drive and/or rhythmic unpredictability. The result is dance with a 
visual intensity that sets it apart from modernist and post-modernist 
performance practice. As the director of MA FISH CO, a performance and 
media production company, she creates intermedia works that build 
theatrical tension out of the gestural interplay of light, sound, 
objects, set design, and projections with and without live performers. 
The company's recent video work uses this approach to combine the ideas, 
images, and objects of politically and culturally segregated subjects. 
With co-director, composer Robert Hughes, MA FISH CO has toured the 
United States, Canada, Europe, and Japan, and has been featured at New 
Dance USA, New Music America, and the Venice Biennale festivals. MA FISH 
CO returns to public performance after a hiatus of ten years.
