ONSTAGE
Music for Smartphones (5 minutes)
Rather than smartphones separating the audience by pulling focus toward their screens, this interactive performance has audience members come together to experience a unique moment of connectivity. This short, meditative piece has been translated into multiple languages and performed worldwide, captivating audiences along the way.
Emojiii (25 minutes)
This crazy 25-minute group experience will break the ice by creating unexpected connections. Emoji is the language spoken by most people in the world. (Everyone with a smartphone, at least). But…do emojis really help us express ourselves more freely and precisely, or do our intentions end up getting lost in translation?
A 30 minute Q&A with Amy Rijke and Steye Hallema of Smartphone Orchestra will follow this event.
