Artist Statement:

anfractuous, an interactive dance artwork that invites viewers/audience members to activate choreography through choice and play. Viewers assemble small dance vignettes into a collective whole, mobilizing and co-authoring the choreography. In anfractuous, time is not a measurable quantity, but instead a material that is warped and shaped through viewer actions and desire. The real-time temporality of the audience intertwines with the fixed duration of the filmed beings and a shared time emerges.
In an era where people are watching dance online more than ever before, this combines the physicality and visceral experience of dance, with choice-making. Theatrical and cinematic art works are becoming more navigable, shared and immersive with game-based platforms and this research proposes possibilities in how the performing arts can evolve with these paradigms.
