2012-2013

The People to Come, is a BESSIE-nominated* participatory performance installation that invites audience members to become part of the work unfolding before them. It is a multi-layered project that encompasses an interactive website, a physical archive for audiences to create, submit and view material to the project, and a performance in the evening where dancers and musicians create work in front of the audience. Over the course of four hours, five dancers reinvent nineteen-minute solos drawing from visuals, videos, and text submitted by the audience. Each solo is a live composite – a portrait of the performer at work influenced by the attending audience.
