The VCW Performance is a show of live video pieces created as part of the Video Composition Workshop.

The Video Composition Workshop is dedicated to writing performative video pieces. It explores how artists approach their compositions and how they notate the scores from which the videoists perform.

This show presents completed compositions and works-in-progress of four videoists and musicians resulting from this summer's six-week workshop. The video pieces incorporate human breath control, XBox, language as controller, and physical architecture. The evening will end with the VCW composers discussing their printed scores and compositional approaches.

Compositions by:

Courtney Brown (with performers Gennette Gill, Jacqueline Arias)
Chris Burke (with collaborator Tamara Yadao)
Brian Edgerton (with performers Glenda Reed, Jason Orrell)
Matthias Neumann (with performers Adi Shniderman, Jeffrey Potterfield,
George Tsontakis)
