An evening of new video works by visiting filmmakers.
Places in Pieces, vol. 4, by Jason Pappariella, picks up where the series left off in 2011, as a non-narrative, regionally-focused document. This installment makes its way across Eastern and Central Europe, moth-tracking from the Baltics to the Balkans, and fluttering about the Caucasus region. Specters inhabit this contemporary landscape, as the familiarity of the common place is rendered invisible, ghostly, in the context of the motions of daily life. With a curiosity for the ordinary, Places in Pieces gives attention to the discarded, and to the observation of quiet, contemplative moments. The film score, by Adam Parks (Lighting White Bison), is similarly composed of field recordings, found material and incidental improvisations, and is performed as a live accompaniment to the film on manipulated 4-track recorder. Previous volumes of the series have been exhibited and screened at venues such as Artists' Television Access (San Francisco), Echo Park Film Center (Los Angeles), Talking Dolls Studio (Detroit), and Tacheles (Berlin). The film has a running time of 56 minutes.

Plus, short video works by Kait O'Brien! Kait is an artist who seeks to explore the ways in which our subconscious touches the landscapes we inhabit through animation, experimental photography, poetry, encaustic, installation and music composition. Kait is visiting back in town this winter from Massachusetts.

Michael Mandrell’s finger-style guitar work and moving ballads have earned him a reputation across the American west as a talented composer and performer. His music ranges from meditative to energetic and includes both Celtic and New Age. He joins with the Fairy Jazz Project, a group of artists in Taos with mutual interests in Celtic music. FJP includes Julie Hawley on harp and bass, Jimmie Killingsworth on mandolin, Irish Bouzouki, and banjo, and Stephen Welter on string bass and guitar. Vocal and instrumental pieces include forays into jazz, rock, and blues. Their combination promises some open-hearted joy to bring in the New Year.

Disenchanted
Poisoned apples. Glass slippers. Who needs ’em?! Not Snow White and her posse of disenchanted princesses in the hilarious hit musical that’s anything but Grimm. Forget the princesses you think you know – the original storybook heroines have come to life to set the record straight.

Preceding this performance is the reception for Macey Center and PAS's annual presentation of the Socorro County Women's Art Showcase, a month-long exhibition featuring newly emerging to nationally recognized local artists.

In 2012, 'Disenchanted!' had its first Off-Broadway reading at the Peter Jay Sharp Theatre at Playwrights Horizons in NYC. The songs from the show were also featured in a showcase at Don't Tell Mama Cabaret Theatre on Restaurant Row that summer.​

'DIS!' - as the show is affectionately known for short - opened in a limited-engagement run Off-Broadway in NYC at the Theatre @ St. Clement's in December of 2014 and then transferred to an open-ended run at the Westside Theatre in 2015. The show played to rave reviews and positive press from the Huffington Post, New York Times, NBC-TV, CBS-TV, New York Post, BroadwayBlog, New York Observer!

The Off-Broadway production of 'DIS!' played to sold out houses, rave reviews, and several NYC award nominations including 'Outstanding Off-Broadway Musical' (Outer Critics Circle Awards), 'Best New Off-Broadway Musical' (Off Broadway Alliance Awards), and two Lucille Lortel Awards nominations ('Best Lead Actress' and 'Best Featured Actress'). 'DIS!' also received a nod from Playbill, making the list of 'Best of the Year - 2014' as well as an American Theatre Wing Henry Hewes Design Award nomination for 'Best Costumes.'
