Imposter/Disrupted

The work of Imposter/Disrupted explores personal identity of character in response to outside force, limitation, and our environment. It asks questions like: "Which persona copes with this environment? What positioning is the most optimal to gain control? How does morality impact choice and where does responsibility rest?" Performers are allowed to create a layered version of self; taking on fabricated personalities and movement qualities in order to thrive within the environment created by specific restraints. Imposter/Disrupted unites real time sound composition, movement, video and textural installation pieces to explore the intersections of self-imposed limitation; physical, mental, and relational; with structures of power we experience within society. This presentation of the work is an in-process performance as part of the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Event's "In the Works Residency" programming.

Dancers execute solo, duet, and trio movement sequences set against larger than life video projections that explore abstract shape and pattern. Movement sequences reveal exaggerated shaping, acceleration and deceleration of time, and gestural mannerisms unique to each mover. Theatrical movement characters are revealed as the viewer experiences a world of dynamic mood shifts, layered sounds, and vibrant video projections. Audience members are invited to roam through the space as dance and video performances spontaneously emerge. In real time, performers succumb to a structure of power that imposes limit and control, forcing accommodation and change, and revealing characters of wacky and extreme nature.
