About the Show

An experimental examination of people & technology using video, shadow puppetry, and live action.

In That the creation of the universe is explored. Video devices spring to life through the turning of tripod knobs, zooming in and out, maneuvering visual feedback loops, melting images together and apart, forming abstract video puppetry - Live, not pre-recorded.

In This, humanity is explored – the human senses of longing, loss, loneliness and missed opportunities. Hand shadow vignettes, inspired by the sculptural works Henry Moore, take the performance from scene to scene.
