Berglind María Tómasdóttir and Carolyn Chen: Playing in Public

This is an Archive of a Past Event

"Playing in Public" features Fictional Documentaries on Music in Social Spaces and Electroacoustic Music for Flute and Guqin by Berglind María Tómasdóttir and Carolyn Chen. 

Flutist and interdisciplinary artist Berglind Tómasdóttir frequently explores identity and archetypes in her work, using elements of video art, theater, and music. Her work has been featured throughout the US, as well as in Mexico and Iceland.

Carolyn Chen uses sound, text, light, image, and movement in projects like her opera mashup of Euripides’ Hekabe and Red Riding Hood sung to helicopter and digestion sounds, and an assemblage on gravity, interweaving stories about falling, interviews with physicists, and footage from falling cameras.
