Rough Cuts – Bearing Witness

Choreographer: Kemi Craig

Bearing Witness uses choreography, improvisational dance, sensory responsive technology, and audience engagement to amplify the connection between spectatorship and performativity (the interdependent relationship between certain words and actions — as when a word or sentence implies an action). During her Dance Victoria residency, Kemi Craig collaborated with multimedia artist/entrepreneur Justin Love to learn coding electronics which respond to movement and sound, and these technologies inform her work.
