Alarm Will Sound residency at the Curtis R. Priem Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC), December 13-17, 2021. This five-day residency will be focused workshopping and rehearsing composer Mary Koyoumdjain and playwright Nigel Maister’s evening-length theatrical work Paper Pianos, a piece that explores the “disclocation, longing, and optimism of refugees.” We have been working on bits and pieces of Paper Pianos for several years — it was temporarily halted by Covid and other factors — and I can tell you it is a tremendously beautiful, moving, and important new work.
