LONG BRANCH SUNRISE TO SUNSET PERFORMANCE

Follow the Arc of the Sun is an experimental sound and music performance by the collective Long Branch. In Follow the Arc of the Sun, the ensemble offer a live performance from sunset to sundown in the Agnes Etherington House at Queen’s University in Kingston, ON. The performance engages in close listening as a process to explore the immersive dimensions of sound, responding to the increasing and diminishing light on this halfway point between the longest and shortest days. In this durational performance, Long Branch listen and respond to the tone of the house to explore interactions among movement, light, and the questions that remain at the end of the day: How am I still here? Am I still here?

Follow the Arc of the Sun coincides with the closing of the Agnes house and marks a transitional moment for the gallery and for Long Branch, as they each embark on new beginnings.
