The University of Arizona School of Music presents Crossing Barriers Group (CBG) in two performances in collaboration with the School of Dance. The performance will feature faculty artists Patrick Neher, double bass, Norman Weinberg, percussion, Betty Allen, soprano, Suzanne Knosp, piano and Mike Kuhn, guest saxophonist. Joining CBG will be dance and media specialists DOUBLE VISION, an eight-member ensemble from San Francisco. In association with the Hanson Film Institute, bio-films of Professor Emeritus Dr. Neil Mendelson will be featured.

Crossing Barriers Group is a groundbreaking multi-media, multi-genre ensemble of creative artists who present thought provoking and entertaining experiences that cross the boundaries of contemporary performance art. By integrating and juxtaposing a variety of media and genres, CBG provides an experience that will play upon and redefine the traditional environmental and social etiquette barriers assumed during the typical concert-going experience. The perceptions of audience and performers alike will be challenged to achieve a feeling of integration for both parties at the same time creating awareness of their conventional roles.

Intermedia performance group, DOUBLE VISION (www.double-vision.biz), creates contemporary performances for dance, music, video and interactive technology. At the heart of their work is a need to experiment and seek meaning in the ever-changing landscape of contemporary culture. The result is a body of work that is complex, humorous, quirky and continuously evolving.

DOUBLE VISION’s 4x60 Tour involves 10 performers, 5,000 miles and five weeks of experimental and contemporary events that blend dance, video, sound, and installation. Nearly five years old, the company has performed in Bay Area venues such as the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, ODC Theater and the notorious Autonomous Mutant Festival. Double Vision artists are Blaine Bookey, Sean Clute, Amanda Crawford, Pauline Jennings, Wendy Marinaccio, Jennifer Mellor, Cecelia Peterson and Rebecca Wilson.

CGB and DOUBLE VISION will provide a workshop on crossing media and genre collaborations for dance, music, and biology students in Stevie Eller Dance Theatre on Friday morning, 10:00 a.m. For more information contact Patrick Neher at 621-5822.
