Tools on Wheels: SEAC’s Mobile Tool Lending Library Ribbon Cutting

Mount Hope World Singers, in collaboration with visual artist Christine Banna and composer Logan Barrett, is thrilled to present The Hundred Windows, an immersive, multidisciplinary exploration of the senses featuring 12 choral works from around the globe, a quadraphonic electronic soundscape, and projected animations. Both the soundscape and projections will be live-mixed, making each performance unique. The show is inspired by the umwelt, a term coined in the 1930s by German biologist Jakob von Uexk&uuml;ll, and by Ed Yong&rsquo;s beautiful non-fiction book on this subject, An Immense World. An umwelt is the specific way in which organisms of a particular species perceive and experience the world, shaped by the capabilities of their sensory organs and perceptual systems.&nbsp; Senses featured in The Hundred Windows include sight, smell, touch, taste, hearing, echolocation, electroreception, magnetoreception, nociception (pain), proprioception (self in space), thermoreception (heat/cold), equilibrioception (balance), and extrasensory perception (ESP).&nbsp; The Hundred Windows features choral works from Malaysia, Haiti, South Africa, Norway, Brazil, Ireland, Australia, China, Ecuador, the United States, Canada, and the Ute people; the languages the chorus will be singing in include Malaysian, Haitian Creole, Xhosa, Portuguese, Mandarin, and Latin. Two of the songs are in untranslated indigenous languages, two feature neutral syllables in lieu of words, and two are in English. The song order is programmed to form a figurative ouroboros (the snake that eats its own tail), symbolizing a cycle through birth, life, death, and rebirth, and referencing the circular nature of our sensory bubbles. The set for The Hundred Windows was created in reference to a metaphor offered by Jakob von Uexk&uuml;ll in his original monograph. This metaphor describes our consciousness as a house filled with windows, overlooking a garden which represents the wild and beautiful information of the universe around us. The way we construct and experience reality is dependent on what kind of windows we possess, how many there are, and how those windows interact. The performance will be ASL interpreted. There will be latex-free balloons available, enabling audience members to feel sonic vibrations with their hands, and an interactive Xbox controller that allows audience members to manipulate the post-show soundscape themselves. We hope you will join us!&nbsp;

Feeling Your Way: Container Gardening

In "The Hundred Windows," Mount Hope World Singers (MHWS), visual artist and animator Christine A. Banna, and composer Logan Barrett present an immersive, multidisciplinary concert reflecting the vastness of the world we inhabit.  The program compares humans' sensory bubbles to those of other creatures, through not only our core five senses but also magnetoreception, echolocation, nociception, equilibrioception, thermoception, and electroreception—the latter represented by a new piece composed by MHWS Artistic Director Annika Bentley. Both Banna and Barrett will engage in live mixing during the performance, making it a truly one-of-a-kind event. A natural extension of MHWS's mission to build community and foster intercultural understanding through music performed in original languages from around the globe, this performance invites the audience to reexamine the layers of our lived experiences.
