A pioneering Brooklyn-based performance nonprofit founded in 2003, ISSUE presents projects by interdisciplinary artists that expand the boundaries of artistic practice and stimulate critical dialogue in the broader community. ISSUE serves as a leading cultural incubator, facilitating the commission and premiere of innovative new works spanning genres of music, dance, literature and film.
ISSUE is pleased to present a rare performance from Rocket Science, a collaborative improvising ensemble formed in 2012. Initially composed of Evan Parker, Peter Evans, Sam Pluta, and Craig Taborn, the group has expanded on occasion to include Ikue Mori on live electronics.
ISSUE is pleased to present a special outdoor performance featuring Che Chen and Rick Brown’s celebrated duo 75 Dollar Bill performing in both their “little big band” ensemble format and in duo formation. The event marks the 10 year anniversary of 75 Dollar Bill’s first appearance at ISSUE.
