OPEN 5am-11pm. All ages appropriate. Installed in Denver's Cheesman Park, Rain Cycle is a soundwalk composed by [Divya Maus](https://www.instagram.com/divyamaus/), and commissioned, recorded, and produced by the L.A. Choral Lab. The soundwalk includes four choral movements surrounded by nature sounds and smaller musical structures, all created with only the voices of LA Choral Lab singers. You can start the soundwalk from any direction, through the outer layers of nature sounds to reach the four longer movements within the park. The chronology and duration of the experience is totally up to you! Rain Cycle is a FREE public work of art. However, this soundwalk is the result of many months of composing, recording, and programming by the musicians of the L.A. Choral Lab. We would love to create more innovative content like this for the public to enjoy, but we need your help to do so!

The Festival of Actions opens across two days as a self-guided, jump in/jump out, tour. Spect-actors (audience/participants) will enter Manos for a rotation of theatre work and skill building to equip them for experimenting together on Colfax. The accompanying rotation on East Colfax will include an audio tour prompting exploration and play around businesses such as the MLK Library and the Arc Thrift Store. Spect-actors will encounter Field Trip’s Jokers at each of the sites, with clear prompts for interacting with/in each site.

This project incorporates field recordings from the mountains of Colorado, alongside recordings of the vibrations produced by Starr Kempf’s kinetic sculptures at the Ent Center for the Arts, in Colorado Springs. An archival interview with Kempf reveals his belief in the subjective interpretation of artworks, a concept that has been central to my recent work.
