Description

Tethered features three duets that investigate the underlying ethics in partnering.  Sensed highlights orientation, proximity, and touch. This duet focuses on the formal features of partnering through mediated interaction with wearable sensors that capture and sonify the relational movement.  Distrust is informed by tango vocabulary. This duet focuses on the role of trust in navigating ambivalent situations driven by desire.  IMPACT investigates shared agency as the two dancers make deliberate choices in order to obscure and reveal their physical intentions.
