A two-day finale performance on May 18th and 19th at Silo City to close out a week of workshops, events, and screeening around the theme of EMERGENCE.

ABOUT THIS EVENT:
This event will take both audience and performer on a journey. It will begin at the beginning, the very very beginning, and then carry us from there, through the big bang, deep time and into the present. Starting with the sound of handmade long wire string instruments and charting a path stretched across multiple sites on the Silo City Campus, by dancers, aerialists, vocalists from all around Buffalo, and The Indeterminacy Ensemble, this show will string together collaborations from across the disciplines and reveal the emerging works that have been generated over the course of this year to form this unique event.

*It should be noted that these performances will take place from 8:30-10pm. The event is not an installation, but a guided performance, and as such, does not accommodate late arrival.

This production is directed and co-produced by Stanzi Vaubel

The Indeterminacy Festival will go into its second year, this time exploring the concept of "Emergence" in which an unlikely confluence of things are brought together in the formation of something new. The festival is exploring emergence by using string as the primary material with which to enact the felt-experience of threading, stretching, connecting, and binding new ideas into an interconnected whole. The festival is working across mediums: with engineers, to create large-scale wire string instruments; dancers, who are choreographing works with string; textile artists who are designing environments with string; and specialists from Poetry and Philosophy to Physics and Geology; in an effort to find new ways of "weaving" our relationships between the disciplines together.
