Edward Davis (USA). Entitled "Spolia", this year's festival explores the traces of the past recast into unique new expressions, just as ancient artifacts are reincorporated into newer architecture to become spolia. Inspired by Katherine Balch's Musica Spolia, this theme threads through works including Yu Kuwabara's Five Images-In nomine and Adam Greene's Memos, and works incorporating recorded sound fragments like D. Edward Davis's broad call and Kay He's On the Rime of the Fading Forest. We are proud to prominently feature Southern California and Arizona-based composers, including some former residents and recent arrivals, among them Christopher Adler, Katherine Balch, Adam Borecki, Franklin Cox, Adam Greene, Kay He, Texu Kim, and Philippe Manoury.

Zhang will discuss the two bodies of work in her exhibition, What We Bring and Leave, and her new residency project.

Art of Elan is thrilled to collaborate with ICA San Diego for a season of programs inspired by ICA San Diego’s Artists-in-Residence highlighting different artistic approaches to the expression of ideas.

From the organizers: Broadway veteran & San Diego native Jeremy McQueen brings his Emmy® award-winning New York City–based ballet collaborative to San Diego for the west coast premiere of two original ballets: WILD and A Mother's Rite. The Black Iris Project's mission is to harness the Black community's inherent creative spirit to encourage and inspire youth of color to pursue art, movement and music as an expressive outlet and a means for collective healing. “Since its inception in 2016, The Black Iris Project has been committed to telling Black narratives through ballet, using art as a mirror to reflect the times and consistently intertwining themes of social justice in everything we do. As someone who has worked to break through many doors in the world of dance, particularly ballet, I feel it is our duty as artists to be a catalyst for those that are unheard, unseen, and undervalued. I am committed to, now more than ever, dismantling those barriers through my art.” -Jeremy McQueen Content Advisory: This performance contains strobe lights, haze, profanity, and scenes depicting physical and sexual violence. Recommended for ages 13+
