This piece straddles the line between performance art and experimental dance. The performance will place on Sept. 29th at Leitmotif/Nuit Blanche in the Parkdale district. See documentation from last year's performance here. This piece marries non-traditional forms of movement in with drawing media. We will document our movement research by combining two ideas (prosthetics/appendages + drawing) and imposing them on several dance artists from both Toronto and Chicago.We performed live at the Nuit Blanche event. The other dance artists were recorded, and a video of their drawing performances were shown during the entire event. This piece is part of a larger work which documents new movement vocabulary.
