"In
Christy & Emily's music, we find unconventional rockers with Brazilian baiao
rhythms seated in a psychedelic suicide ballads invoking the sordid tales in the
Harry Smith Anthology and chords borrowed from Schumann and Liszt with a
chorus that nods to Brian Wilson." - Digital In Berlin

Marisa Perel (AtlantASS 8pm)
Marissa
Perel is a performer who is currently based out of Brooklyn, NY.
Pushing the boundaries and limitations of her body she
carries out acts of endurance toward cathartic and transformational
ends. Functioning within the realms of dance, performance art and
installation, Perel’s use of contemporary movement and text-based
processes engage audience members intimately with the traumatic
personal and political substance of her work. She is an ardent
collaborator with choreographers, musicians, poets and visual artists
in New York and Chicago, and the practice of collaboration is a
long-term artistic commitment that shapes both her solo and group
projects. Perel’s curatorial work and teaching are also significant
components of her artistic vision.
