Laid Back Band Performance
<p>The LBB came about when us four really nice folks came together in another band and decided to pursue our passion for a certain style of music. We've taken some songs and given them a sprinkle of our own special kind of love and made them spicy and nice. We love to have fun with our shows! The comedy and interaction with our guests between songs is just as entertaining as the music itself. Although the shenanigans range from occasionally showing up incognito as "The No Pants Band ("You're Down NPB, Yah You Know Me") to playing around with our love of chocolate and methodology. But when it comes right down to it, the music is the true star of the show. We hope you'll join us sometime and enjoy a laid back musical experience. </p> 2020-01-13 22:00:00 -0600

Talk: "Drawing from Receptivity" with Tony Orrico
<p>Tony <span data-scayt-word="Orrico" data-wsc-id="k55r7zc7zlkwrmd6d" data-wsc-lang="en_US">Orrico</span>, <a href="https://grantwood.uiowa.edu/fellowship/current-past-fellows">Grant Wood Fellow in Interdisciplinary Performance</a>, will discuss how he approaches drawing and object making through performance. He will share the components of his body practice, <em>Suspension</em>, and its influence on his visual work over the past ten years. In Orrico’s early series, <em>Penwald Drawings and Carbon</em>, works meditate on select parameters and permutations of the same materials: body, paper, and graphite. Orrico will describe how he generates movement and momentum from a felt state of consciousness that is hyper-relational, propelled by actual sensation in the body and projections of sensation throughout space. He will share new work in development, <em>Four Hand Draw</em> and <em>A continued gesture towards us</em>, utilizing a methodology that brings other bodies into the fold.</p><p>Tony Orrico’s work has reached mass circulation for its ingenuity within the intersections of performance and drawing. He has performed/exhibited his work across the US and internationally in Australia, Belgium, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Mexico, the Netherlands, Poland, and Spain. His work is in the permanent collections of The National Academy of Sciences (Washington, DC) and Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo (Mexico City, Mexico), as well as prominent private collections. He has presented at the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (Spain), Centre Pompidou-Metz (France), The New Museum (New York, NY), and Poptech 2011: The World Rebalancing (Camden, ME). Orrico was one of a select group of artists to re-perform the work of Marina Abramović during her retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art (New York, NY) in 2010. As a former member of Trisha Brown Dance Company and Shen Wei Dance Arts, Orrico has performed on renowned stages such as the Sydney Opera House (Australia), Teatro La Fenice (Venice, Italy), New York State Theater (New York, NY), and Theatre du Palais-Royal (Paris, France).</p><p>Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to attend all University of Iowa-sponsored events.
