6:00pm: Samantha Taylor: A Concept OST
Developing the sounds of a video game that doesn’t exist, Samantha Taylor takes advantage of the genre of video game music to produce a large quantity of theme-based compositions. If this game were to be developed, it would closely follow the story of two characters through their journey against each other and the world around them.
Emery Performance Space.
Preregistration Required
7:30pm: For Films Sake!: Screening of Short Films by Grant Forbes and Sam MacDonald
In conjunction with the exhibition, Unusual Articles: 2021 Senior Show, senior art majors Grant Forbes and Sam MacDonald will screen a selection of their short films.
These films are ridiculous, nonsensical, and just wacky, for lack of a better word. They are easy to watch and digest mentally, while offering a unique perspective on that internal world we create for ourselves in how we interact with the outside one, projecting mentally on how we view it in different ways, from how we interact with it, to how the things within it interact with each other.
Emery Performance Space
On view throughout the evening: Routines of Home: Eliza Robinson April 16 - 23, 2021
Routines of Home is an installation exploring the subject of home and all of the forms that can take. This audio and visual performance piece uses technical elements in place of performers.
Emery Community Arts Center (lower level lobby)
UNUSUAL ARTICLES: 2021 Senior Show April 8 - May 7, 2021 Emery Community Arts Center & UMF Art Gallery UNUSUAL ARTICLES: 2021 Senior Show features the capstone thesis artwork of Visual Arts majors Grant Forbes, Warren Garrett, Lake France, Sam MacDonald, Samantha Taylor and Sara Taylor.
Constellations
Matty Bernard
April 29 – 30, 7 p.m. and May 1, 2 p.m. in Alumni Theatre. Preregistration Required
Constellations (a staged play) written by Nick Payne deals with the theory of multiple universes and relationships. An emphasis of the open environment, and loose structure of the play, allows for Bernard’s unique creative concept for experimentation within the content of existing play. Matty Bernard invites a viewing of her creative directorial version of this play.
