Connections at the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery
Friday, July 13, 5:00-7:00p.m.,
"This is a unique opportunity for The Moving Company because the Sheldon rarely hosts dance in the gallery," Metal-Corbin said. "I am excited to be creating a piece in response to Jamie Burmeister's interactive art installation." Arrhytmy is an interactive kinetic sound installation that explores the artist's "Want of Rhythm." Artist Jamie Burmeister received a bachelor's degree in exercise science from Creighton University in 1992, a master's degree in health education from UNO in 1995 and a master of fine arts degree in sculpture from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) in 2005. The opening reception was from 5:00-7:00 p.m. The Moving Company also performed outside the Sheldon with The Mighty Vitamins, an eclectic musical trio whose work has been described as "a set of music just waiting to have a cartoon accompaniment."
