Fri Jul 30, 2004 00:00 - Fri Jul 16, 2004

ABOUT THE PROJECT
"Demotic: Of or pertaining to the current ordinary everyday form of a language; of or pertaining to the common people"

DEMOTIC is a performance work about American Memory, a single character whose many voices are woven together into a complex texture of language, sound, and music. It is an improvisation among different kinds of performers and different modes of reality, involving sound artists, a theater actor, and a group of Internet-based performers who improvise with text. As an ensemble work in which actors, avatars, and musicians find the music within the vast range of opinion channeled by the Internet, it is a kind of covert national anthem.

For more information about the project, please visit our web site:

DEMOTIC is made possible by a 2004 Beall Center Residency, as well as by a UC Institute for Research in the Arts (UCIRA) Grant and a UC Faculty Research Grant.
