Free Showings: Degenerate Art Ensemble

Degenerate Art Ensemble presents free workshop showings this weekend in an office park in West Seattle. Called the Red Shoes Project, the showing features Seattle-based performance artist Haruko Nishimura and Korean-born Bay Area composer/performer Dohee Lee in their first in-depth collaboration. I attended the showing last night. Lee and Nishimura offer extended vocal techniques and a powerful presence together that offer exciting possibilities when further developed.

They performed a section based on Little Red Riding Hood with live music and film. The Red Shoes Project will premiere in May/June 2011, as part of the Degenerate Art Ensemble's Exhibition at the Frye Art Museum.
