Multimedia production featured snow in the Black Box

It snowed inside the ATLAS Black Box theater during performances of "Carnivals and Snowstorms" (above) at the end of April. The multimedia production, which was a collaboration between film, theater and dance departments, featured projection screens, a set design derived from vintage carnival booths, the elegance of 1930s costumes and retro-inspired choreography.

ATLAS technical director Bret Mann has new album out on vinyl

Bret Mann, the technical director for the Center for Media, Arts and Performance, also plays drums professionally with electric bass harmonics virtuoso Dean Peer.

The duo has just completed a special edition of their CD "Airborne." It's a limited run of 180-gram audiophile vinyl records, mastered by David Glasser, a Grammy Award winning engineer from Airshow mastering in Boulder.

Mann and Peer also recently performed live at venues in Toronto and Montreal. For more information about Peer and Mann, click here.

"Tyrannosaurus Sex" a journey about stages of growth

"Tyrannosaurus Sex (and other truths)" takes the audience on a multimedia music, dance and humorous journey that begins millions of years ago and arrives at the present day, following a lead character from a time of reptiles through the various stages of growth that brings us to adulthood -- all on a path marked by chaos, passion and growing consciousness -- in two performances at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, June 3 and 4, in the ATLAS Black Box.

ATLAS assistant communications director Ira Liss has performed solo concerts and musical comedy one-man shows in New York, Arizona and Colorado for more than 20 years and is the creator of this production.
