Concept

This piece was a collaborative project developed by Jane Franklin and myself for a performance at The Woolly Mammoth Theater’s experimental space in Washington DC. For this project, we decided to explore the topic of in-between spaces and we wanted to try to blur the distinction between the performance and the projected image. I was interested in using chance and randomness as part of my process and developed original music compositions and animation for the 22 minute performance. One of the sequences was developed by Rassamee Ruangsri, a talented artist and animator in Denver and she chose to work with ameoba-like forms that appear to communicate and interact with each other. All of the animations were projected over the dancers bodies as they performed, creating another dimension of movement through their shadows.
