Dispatch: Candice Hopkins, Raven Chacon and Marshall Trammell

Dispatch is either a transcription of events around the 2016 DAPL encroachment at Standing Rock, a prompt for an ecological oral future, or a critique of the privilege of meditative Deep Listening. This score, co-created by Candice Hopkins and Raven Chacon, can be realized as a performance, a series of imagined events, or as a response of direct action. The players, the prompts, and the schematics are derived from an analysis of the surface dynamics and organization of Water Protectors in defense of Standing Rock during the #noDAPL movement, not glossing over the miscommunication, profiteering, and injustices. In an increasingly fractured society, new paths and new formations are needed to refocus our attention in an attempt to find truth. Participating in this score may produce sonic or visual artifacts, these are as important as the actions. For this occasion, musician and artist Marshall Trammell, known for his social collaborations and interventions, gives a performance of his reading of Dispatch.
