Another Language Performing Arts Company
Ever heard of "live, real-time, distributed, surrealistic cinema"? (We hadn't either.) We have, however, seen the omission in our lives and are doing our best to rectify it via Another Language, a performing arts company at the University of Utah...InterPlay: AnARTomy features two dancers, poetry, a host of sketch artists, and digital animators, and requires nearly a dozen computer systems to compile live video feeds from four other universities...all to create a dynamic, collaborative performance.

"Carnivale is Another Language's sixth yearly 'InterPlay" (its term for multimedia online performance occuring in different sites simultaneously), fusing the artistic and technological aspects of the performance more seamlessly than ever before."
Brian Staker - City Weekly (03/27/08)
"Though Another Language has been around for nearly two decades utilizing just about every artistic medium in its performances, its work enters completely new and exciting territory, one that requires constant technological upgrades, collaboration with other artists in different parts of the world and nearly a year's worth of work from conception to execution."
Kelly Keiter - Salt Lake City Magazine (04/2007)
"The group (Another Language), founded in 1985 has always tried to present experimental works that pushed the frontiers of artistic expression, but these recent performances (InterPlays) have showcased the cutting edge of technology as well.

"Beth Miklavcic's built a Zen garden (for InterPlay: Dancing on the Banks of Packet Creek) with, among other materials, powdered drink mix, while a little girl unrolled white string around her. The string symbolized technology and the Internet, which started simply like a Zen garden, but was now overflowing with material."
Christy Karras - The Salt Lake Tribune (04/03/06)
"The motion and emotion come together for fresh, new experience that is on the cutting edge."
Sander Sharp - The Daily Utah Chronicle (8/11/94)
"Their (Another Language) concerts take the viewer into unchartered territory."
Nancy Melich - The Salt Lake Tribune (3/3/93)
"....among the finest artists in Utah."
Anne Poore - The Salt Lake Tribune (3/29/92)
"Eglantine, a new work created and performed by Beth Miklavcic, is a remarkable multimedia piece with videography by Jimmy Miklavcic. The symbolism is of a rose, but the imagery of the dancing figure in black with tangled braids moves into mysterious, decadent and even threatening realms, suggesting the decay that lurks just below the surface of all blooming, radiant things in their prime. Beth's dancing was vivid, strong, bold and original, and loaded with memorable images."
Dorothy Stowe - Deseret News (3/17/92)
"Another Language Studio on West Pierpont Avenue has housed many of the great Salt Lake performances in recent times. The latest is "Eglantine," a solo dance and video performance by Beth Miklavcic with videography by Jimmy Miklavcic...The Miklavcic's are committed not only to performance but to revealing process, learning and teaching. They are unassuming people who dare to push the edges of dance and performance."
Susan Levin - The Daily Utah Chronicle (11/8/91)
"Dancing inside and around a picture frame made 'Photographic Memory' a stunning and sensitive portrayal of a couples life together. The frame seemed to freeze moments in the performance, giving the number an ethereal quality."
Carolyn Wardle - The Daily Spectrum (05/31/91)
"Another Language's performance was stimulating and entertaining, a combination not always achieved by many performing groups."
Carolyn Wardle - The Daily Spectrum (05/31/91)
"Another Language (is) one of the more interesting performing arts companies in Salt Lake."
Steve Miller - The Daily Utah Chronicle (03/01/91)
"An utterly baffling component of the concert is the piece 'Goober in Your Golashes,' including movement, dance, music, distorted sound and familiar snippets ingrained in Americans' cultural consciousness from the products of mass media. The piece can be seen as being made up of 'non-connected motifs,' as if a number of old home movies had been spliced together. Whatever one may try to classify it as, it is fascinating and not easily dismissed."
Cuman David Cropper - The Daily Utah Chronicle (06/01/90)
"Another Language repertoire has grown as broad as everyone's imagination...They have broadened the definition of performing arts."
