MCA Stage: Martin Creed's Unconventional Ballet

MARTIN CREED WORK NO. 1020 (BALLET)  November 15-16, 2012

Martin Creed, the British multimedia artist, creates an unconventional ballet featuring his rock band and five dancers.  Work No. 1020 (Ballet) is a mix of talk, film, song, and movement built upon the five body positions of classical ballet and the notes of the musical scale. It is presented in conjunction with Martin Creed Plays Chicago, the year-long 2012 MCA artist-in-residence project in which he creates visual and performance art work in non-gallery settings in the museum throughout the year, including the massiveMOTHERS sculpture on the plaza. The performances are presented in the Edlis Neeson Theater on Thursday and Friday, November 15-16, 2012 as part of the MCA Stage's Global Stage series. In Work No. 1020, Creed creates a framework in which audiences experience subtle changes of time, speed, and direction. The choreography is methodical and geometric, comprised of the building blocks of classical ballet -- five basic positions of the feet that are the foundation of every other step. The work is performed by five classically trained dancers from London, and is co-created with Lorena Randi, a dancer/choreographer associated with Sadler's Wells Theatre in London who commissioned the original presentation of the ballet in 2009. Creed creates a parallel set of musical building blocks with the notes of the scale. Between sections of the dance, Creed and his band play songs with humorous and pessimistic lyrics such as, "What's the point of it?" or "Pass your bad feelings on." The music compositions correspond with the minimal choreography. Film clips show Creed getting dogs to cross a white space in different directions and a man kicking a plant, along with more mature content such as vomit and an erection. He introduces and explains the songs with his distinctive hesitant and reflective speaking pattern. VIDEO ABOUT MARTIN CREED PLAYS CHICAGO      ABOUT THE ARTIST Martin Creed's works range from poetically simple objects to large-scale participatory performances, including painting, sculpture, films, dance, performance, and music that re-evaluate the status of art with a generous sense of humor. Labeled a conceptualist and provocateur, Creed is creating new works every month to appear in non-gallery spaces in and around the museum, as well as on the MCA Plaza, and out in the city. As the MCA turns the museum over to Creed for the year, his residency illustrates the MCA's vision of an "artist-activated, audience-engaged" museum. Creed (b. 1968) is one of the UK's leading artists and winner of the 2001 Turner Prize. He recently organized the project Work No. 1197: All the bells in a country rung as quickly and as loudly as possible for three minutes for July 27, 2012, as part of the UK government's Cultural Olympiad that accompanies the London 2012 Olympic Games. TICKET INFO  Work No. 1020 (Ballet) is 70 minutes without intermission and takes place November 15-16, at 7:30 pm at the Edlis Neeson Theater, 220 East Chicago Avenue. Tickets are $28, $22 for MCA Members, and a limited quantity of $10 student tickets is available. The MCA Box Office is at312.397.4010 or www.mcachicago.org. One free museum admission is granted with an MCA Stage ticket stub, valid up to seven days after the performance.

ABOUT THE PIANISTS GERALD ROBBINS  "A pianist of authority and imagination. Versatile, secure in every respect, a spectacular technique." ~ Los Angeles Times Gerald Robbins has distinguished himself internationally as a soloist, recitalist, and chamber musician of poetic sensitivity and virtuosic technique. Since capturing a major prize at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 1969, he has performed regularly in the world's major music centers throughout Europe, Japan, and the United States. As a soloist accompanied by an orchestra, he has performed with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Royal Philharmonic, BBC Symphony and its affiliates, and Royal Liverpool Symphony under such conductors as Zubin Mehta, Neville Marriner, Edouard van Remoortel, Okku Kamu, Jorge Mester, and Lawrence Foster. In addition, Robbins' chamber music activities include collaborations with noted violinists Nathan Milstein, Pinchas Zukerman, Kyung-Wha Chung, Glenn Dicterow, and Ruggiero Ricci. Featured on numerous radio and television broadcasts, Robbins performed Rhapsody in Blue on the Emmy-award winning Gershwin TV special starring Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme, and was the featured pianist on the soundtrack for the Academy Award-winning British film, A Shocking Accident. A champion of neglected romantic repertoire, Robbins' artistry on the London-Decca, Orion and Genesis labels include world-premiere recordings of concerti by Litolff and Reinecke. He is co-founder of the Lyric Piano Quartet and is a member of the chamber music faculty of the Manhattan School of Music in New York City. NATASHA MARIN  "... balancing pianistic flair with musical intellingence, Marin's playing of the cadenza was a dazzling showstopper" ~ Crescenta Valley Weekly "Natasha Marin was impressive ... Under her hands, she nearly pinned the audience to their seats with a fiery rendition of Chopin's scherzo" ~ Boulevard Sentinel Russian-born Natasha Marin began studying piano at age 6 and was later accepted into the Special Music School for Gifted Children at the St. Petersburg State Conservatory. She earned her B.A. in piano performance from the conservatory's Rimsky-Korsakov Music College, graduating with honors, and later studied with Leonid Sintsev and Igor Lebedev. After moving to California, she attended UCLA where she studied piano with Vitaly Margulis and Professor Antoinette Perry, contemporary music with Grammy Award-winning pianist Gloria Cheng, and worked with acclaimed scholar/media author Robert Winter. Currently, she performs classical genres (and non-classical repertoire) as a soloist and with piano duos, vocalists, and chamber ensembles. In addition to radio and television appearances, she has recorded and performed live at St. Petersburg Philharmonic Hall in Russia, Comerica Theater in Phoenix, Gable Theater Stage in Coral Gables, Florida, Leo Bing Theater, Colburn School's Zipper Hall, and Thorne Hall in Los Angeles, and other U.S. and international venues. Premiering June 2008 in Los Angeles, her piano duo "Double Sharp" with Maria Demina won the Grand Prize at a regional competition and appeared live and the radio nationwide. The program features music of Russian romantic and 20th-century composers, incorporating an innovative presentation with custom costumes by designer Vera DeFehr. "Double Sharp" has performed also at charity events like Robert Shapiro's Foundation and Alice Cooper's Solid Rock Foundation. Together with French soprano Nicol Mecerova, Marin created "Voyage a Paris," program spanning 200 years of the French Art Song, which was presented in the US and Russia. She also performs with her husband actor/comedian Cheech Marin. The couple has appeared at the Hollywood Bowl, Valley Performing Arts Center of the California State University, Northridge, and Bonnaroo Festival in Manchester, Tennessee.
