Description: We are unconsciously surrounded. As we journey through life, we find ourselves in various oppressive structures, sometimes as oppressors and sometimes as the oppressed. How do we become aware of our roles in these structures? How do we liberate our voice to uplift ourselves and others?

Basetrack: A Multimedia Music Performance Experience

Venue: Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center.

Sat, Nov 1, 2014 . 8:00PM

Tickets: Regular: $25, Student: $10. Kay Theatre, Reserved Seating.

Description: A group of photojournalists documented Marines in Afghanistan by taking photographs and videos using only an iPhone. This material, which enabled military families to communicate with their loved ones, began to tell an important story of ordinary people fundamentally changed by extraordinary circumstances.

The artful power of these images, a live musical score and spoken work text from Marines themselves come together in a riveting multimedia experience that reflect the uncertainties and separation that is a byproduct of war on families and communities.
