Show Summer Signpost-Thursday, June 28, 1984 7 CENTER STACjE Mountain Visions Show Sets To Music Unique Look At Nature Nancy Stephenson, director of WSC's Wilderness Recreation Center, calls Mountain Visions '"a state of the art' type of show." But what is Mountain Visions? Mountain Visions (an uncommon wilderness adventure) is a visual effects show that uses multi-images. By using nine synchronized slide projectors on a 36 by 12 foot movie screen, exciting wilderness outings such as river running, mountain climbing and scenic panoramas are shown, together with natural phenomenons such as northern lights, total eclipses and lightning storms to create the multi visual effects. A variety of music has been selected to fit the changing mood of the photographic sequences.WSC's Wilderness Recreation Center, along with KJQ Radio and Ogden City Recreation are sponsoring Mountain Visions, which is photographed and i U x f ' c ' . . I t . ; : Fades, dissolves and superimposed images of the natural world and exciting wilderness adventures combine artistically with custom stereo music to create an evening with Mountain Visions productions. produced by Gary O. Grimm and Katy Flanagan (a husband and wife team). "A Mountain Visions concerts is not easy to describe," said Grimm. "We find that individual people experience the dissolving images and music in different ways depending on their background, memories, dreams and the way in which they visualize the world. Our synchronized photographs seem to stimulate those endless memory-images which are stored in every person's mind. These fleeting personal memory-images are projected in the mind's eye and subtly affect the viewer throughout the concert." Stephenson said that she saw a Mountain Vision show while attending Ricks College four years ago. She said that at that time six cameras were used. "Most people use no more than three projectors," said Stephenson. "He (Grimm) uses nine." Stephenson said that the show is computerized, with the nine projectors being used to project one image on the screen. She said that slides fade in and out of each other at different speeds to the music and that the show "is beautiful." The Mountain Visions 'adventure' will be held tomorrow night, June 29, at the Browning Center Austad Auditorium. The adventure will begin at 7:30 p.m. The cost is $2 with WSC ID cards or $3 for general admission. Tickets are available at the WSC Wilderness Recreation Center, UB 273 and also through Ogden City Recreation. Eighth Arts Festival Features MOMIX Dance, Sand Sculpture The eighth annual Utah Arts Festival began yesterday in downtown Salt Lake City at the newly developed Triad Center's Devereaux Plaza. Located on South Temple between 3rd and 4th West, the five day outdoor festival (which runs through July 1) celebrates the diversity of the arts in Utah and the West. The festival will include over 90 performing artists, 71 visual artists, 30 craft demonstrations, 19 food artists, a video exhibit and a children's art yard plenty of everything for everyone. Each year the Utah Arts Festival strives to present new and unusual work to delight and educate Festival audiences. Two such events for the 1984 Festival are a performance by MOMIX and a 600 ton sand sculpture. The entrance to the Festival at South Temple and 300 West will be dominated by the 600 ton sand sculpture which was designed and created by California artist Norman Richard Kraus. When completed, the sand sculpture will measure approximately 45 feet wide, 60 feet long and 22 feet tall and will require 600 tons of sand and two to three thousand gallons of water. The subject of the sculpture is one which should be familiar to most Utahns. ' MOMIX, the internationally acclaimed modern dance company, describes itself as "a dance show . . . a film company. It's something that never happens the same way twice." It began in 1980 at the Lake Placid Olympics with a performance by Momses Pendleton, co-founder of Pilobolus, the innovative and often acrobatic modern dance company which had its . origins at Dartmouth College. Since that first performance, MOMIX has continued to grow and change with a constant flux of dancers which keeps the choreography innovative and exciting. Performances have been described as ingenious, irreverent, humorous, hauntingly beautiful, weird and wonderful. MOMIX performs on Saturday, June 30, at 9 p.m. on the Amphitheatre Stage (located north of Devereaux House and will accommodate the Festival's larger performing groups and dance bands). The Plaza Stage is located on South Temple near 400 West and will feature smaller performing groups and acoustic music. Seventy-one visual .artists from nine Utah cities and ten other states will exhibit and sell original works. The west-bound lanes of South Temple between 3rd and 4th West will be covered with 4300 square yards of bright green carpet to accommodate the artists' booths; Festival guests will discover a wide variety of arts and crafts including ceramics, glass, fiber photography, jewelry, papier-mache, leatherwork, painting and printmaking. The 1984 Children's Art Yard will unify its myriad creative activities for the young ones with a focus on parades. Non-motorized floats and other appropriate vehicles (wagons, tricycles, etc.) will give the kids a base for their creative energies to decorate in their own inimitable ways. The parade theme will also be carried through to the popular face paining and performing artists of years past. Children and their parents can watch and take part in theater, music, ballet, puppetry, break dancing, clowning, magic and African hair weaving. Two of this year's most interesting projects are the creation of a working "volcano" by the Utah Museum of Natural History and the daily publication of the LALLAPALOOZA GAZETTE, which will feature stories and photos of the Festival written and taken by children. The Children's Art Yard will also include a special pre-school area designed especially for children three to five years of age. The Children's Art Yard is designed and created by Lallapalooza, a non-profit organization dedicated to involving children as participants in all the arts. Fourteen food booths and five food carts will continue the tradition of offering a wide variety of international and specialty foods to the Festival crowds. Admission to the Utah Arts Festival, including all performances and exhibits, is free. NEW 1984 CHEVET $4888 Three to choose from MR RllL f S'VP VOLVO h.,j, iw A.
