An iconic performance art piece from the 1970s is reimagined for today with ICED BODIES. An ice cello dyed black and embedded with electronics is played by Seth Parker Woods and translated into sound by composer Spencer Topel, paying tribute to an avant-garde past while reflecting on the black bodies lost to mental illness and violence in the African American community.

Free and open to the public. Performance will take place in Walt Disney Concert Hall’s BP Hall. Enter through the Grand Avenue Lobby or the main entrance at the corner of 1st and Grand. Seating is limited. A stand-by line will form once the space has reached capacity.

Power to the People is presented in collaboration with the California African American Museum. Additional partners include American Cinematheque, A Noise Within, and Power California.

This project is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts. 

Programs, artists, dates, prices, and availability subject to change. Ticket limits may apply. All sales are final.
