imperfect authentic cadences.

Interdisciplinary Arts Collective began in 2017 as a group of musicians, dancers, poets, and visual artists based out of Westminster University in Salt Lake City. Founded by Indigo Cook, IAC’s goal was to build a collaborative network between the students in the school’s different art programs and among the wider Salt Lake community - fostering partnerships, play, and experimentation.

Our work focuses primarily on exploring the creative and communicative potential generated by the intersection and subversion of disciplines during artistic processes, particularly within the context of experimental and contemporary performance practices.

We owe our most significant influences to Fluxus, John Cage, Infrarealism, Pauline Oliveros, and Deep Listening sound practices. Our practice ranges from the performance of contemporary repertoire to the creation of new works and the staging of performance art and sonic experiments.

Past performances include 36 and 38-hour performances of Erik Satie’s Vexations, Fluxconcerts in and around Westminster, a Musicircus held in a local steel fabrication workshop, and shows at the Utah Arts Festival, loveDANCEmore Sunday Series, 801 Salon, the Wild Wild Westside Arts Fest, and the Great Salt Lake Fringe Festival. You can also catch IAC artists in outside collaborative work, such as Indigo Cook’s ongoing Fluxus project Performance Calendar (2019-present).
