Come celebrate
Pamela Z's birthday with an evening featuring a collage piece called "50 Minutes". Pamela and some of her colleagues and collaborators perform 50 mini-movements tightly scored to a timeclock. Ms. Z will also present a short set of works for voice, electronics and video to fill out the program.
Z Program Fifty will take place in a new, intimate gallery space located on the ground level of the same artist building where Pamela has her San Francisco studio. One half of the program will be filled by "50 Minutes", the lively rollercoaster ride of a collage piece made up of performances and video by a delightful list of artists familiar to anyone who has attended past Z Programs. (See Z Programs History http://www.pamelaz.com/zphistory.html) The carefully timed piece will include sounds and images from sensor artist Donald Swearingen, singer (and Qube Chic) Julie Queen, electro-diva Amy X Neuburg, avant-rock and jazz artist (and real-life sibling of Ms. Z) Hillary Maroon, Butoh artist Kinji Hayashi, video artist and 2-headed-monster Jeanne Finley + John Muse, movement artist (and Qube Chic) Leigh Evans, performance artist Mary Armentrout, and composer/performer (and birthday girl)
Pamela Z.
A short intermission will be flanked on one side by the precisely timed "50-minutes" and on the other by a short set of works for voice & electronics by the birthday girl (with a few duets thrown in). Join us afterwards for wine and cake!
The Royce Gallery is a small, intimate space, and the seating is limited. Therefore, buying tickets in advance is strongly recommended. Tickets are available now at: http://www.pamelaz.com/zprogram50tickets.html
Tickets will also be available at the door if they are not sold out.
Videos featuring musicians playing at this event
BREATHING is a movement from Carbon Song Cycle (a inter-media chamber work by composer/performer Pamela Z and visual artist Christina McPhee). The work was originally written for voice & electronics, bassoon, viola, cello, percussion, and tape. This is a solo version performed by the composer (with just voice, processing, and tape), recorded at a 3/13/2014 duo concert with Joan La Barbara as part of the 2014 ROOM Series. Pamela Z is using a gesture controller (designed and built by Donald Swearingen). © 2013 Last Letter Music (ASCAP)
