In her recent series of videos Seline Baumgartner has been collaborating with New York dancers Sally Gross, Meg Harper, Jon Kinzel, Keith Sabado, Vicky Shick, and Robert Swinston exploring how age and experience deepens artistry.

Jennifer Monson and Zeena Parkins will perform material that is being developed for bend the even, a new work to be presented at the Chocolate Factory in February 2018. The material is developed from the minutia of transitions experienced in tonal shifts in vibration and frequency.

Dance artist and videographer Lisa Nelson brings a first public performance of a new video game (in-progress) that re-reverse-engineers her long-excavated practice of Tuning Scores—a real-time editing of movement, sound and touch. Joined by colleague Jennifer Monson, Nelson proposes to expose each of their singular approaches to improvisational performance through playing together in formats of video game and live dancing.
