E=FAC2: Community Day
Art and science come together in a celebration that includes technology, sculpture, music, dance, yoga, physics demos, juggling and everything else touched by the laws of physics. In residence for five days, MASS Ensemble will bring their world premier performance of Critical Mass and will install a giant Earth Harp. The festivities kick off with Community Day. Come help us celebrate our 30th birthday and the joy of physics. Bring the family, bring a lawn chair and bring your best Einstein impersonation.
MASS Ensemble has been fusing music with technology, sculpture, dance and aerial performance for over a decade to create futuristic performing arts concerts. The group whose performance Critical Mass is based on Einstein's theories will be stringing a giant playable earth harp from the roof of the Fine Arts Center building to the plaza. We have planned many exciting events to coincide with the five-day Mass Ensemble residency. Come help us celebrate the installation of the earth harp, the joy of physics, and the Fine Art Center's 30th anniversary with a fun day for the entire family. Bring the family, bring a lawn chair and bring your best Einstein impersonation.
