Get a rare glimpse into the Pillow Lab and experience a performance from the ground up!
Zoe Scofield presents work-in-progress showings of her new work, "always now", transforming the Doris Duke Theatre into an immersive media installation space where intimate groups of audience members lie on the floor for the full performance.
At the intersection of dance, installation, video, and technology, "always now" is presented in two distinct sections and seeks to spark a simple shift in the structure of traditional performance to alter the relationship between audience and dancer. Audience members lay on the floor, head to shin in a perpendicular physical orientation, for the entirety of the performance. In collaboration with designers Juniper Shuey, Thomas Dunn, and Julian Marlew, the work aims to expose vulnerabilities of performers by questioning how and if dancers can become audience member again.
The In Process Series presentation of "always now" follows a two-week, on-site technical residency at the Pillow Lab. Four-time Bessie Award winner, United States Artist Ford Fellow, and Doris Duke Artist Award recipient Bebe Miller collaborates as a choreographic mentor. "always now" is supported by the Princess Grace Foundation Choreography & Mentorship Co-Commission award.
You can receive free invitations to showings at the Pillow Lab year-round if you become a Jacob's Pillow Member at the $500 level and above. Learn more: http://bit.ly/2geVk9T
