Research and Results

After slinking and sleuthing, I've finally struck gold. Though many avenues of exploration proved unfruitful, Kent Devereaux of the music department has pointed me in the direction of Joshua Kohl and the Degenerate Art Ensemble. You can read more about them here.

This fantastic group including a number of Cornish alumni from multiple departments tours with their experimental performance art from here in Seattle to as far away as Prague. The Frye Art Museum will have an exhibit dedicated to DAE running March through June, and they will be world premiering their new 'Red Shoes Project' (based on the story by Hans Christian Andersen) in and around the Frye starting May 12th.

The aforementioned Cornish alumnus Joshua Kohl composes music for the project combined with his colleagues' offerings of butoh dance, installation sculpture, Korean shaman percussion and video art--a perfect C.A.M.W.O.M.P. if ever there was one.
