[jason steven murphy]

Hello New York Capital District Theater Mailing list - this is Jason  
Steven Murphy from EMPAC @ Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy,  
NY.  I know that not all of our programming is necessarily relevant to  
the list, but some is - so here is the Spring 2010 calendar of  
events.  Hope some of you can make it.

> SPRING 2010 AT EMPAC
> This Spring (plus some Winter), EMPAC presents a full schedule of  
> performances, screenings, installations, exhibitions, and talks in  
> which artists defy gravity, a string quartet imitates a car crash,  
> and a choreographer and manga artist locate the kink beneath the  
> Japanese cult of cute.
>
> Building on the successes of the Fall 2009 calendar and more fully  
> exploiting the capacities of the new building, these upcoming events  
> explore the intersection of art, science, and technology in ways  
> that are both startling and aesthetically satisfying.
>
> The season kicks off with Jeremy Wade’s there is no end to more, a  
> dance performance in the form of a children’s television show that  
> forges connections between Hello Kitty and consumerism. Soon after  
> is science writer Margaret Wertheim, discoursing on the poetic  
> enchantments of mathematics over a meal in Evelyn’s Cafe. And in  
> February, the New Nothing Series continues with the Brooklyn-based  
> band Extra Life, playing gorgeous, thrashing music that reconciles  
> the 21st century with the 13th, while Dan Deacon + Nuclear Power  
> Pants bring the exuberant indie noise dance that has been lacking  
> from your diet.
>
> There is much more coming down the line this Spring, so check back  
> regularly on the EMPAC website for updates and additions to the  
> already brimming calendar. You can also join us on Facebook and  
> Twitter.

> Prepare to be transported.
