SUMMARY:DC Cuban Social
DESCRIPTION:In this black and white image\, a performer positioned between two computers falls onto a black mat. She is caught with her knees hovering just above the ground and her body thrown backwards. She wears a black\, skin-tight technical suit. A set of imposing numbers and a grid-based formation of crumpled\, digital bodies is projected behind her.  						\n				\n				\n				\n							April 13 at 7pm						\n				\n				\n				\n							COMMIT! is an interactive performance in which a performer falls repeatedly\, throwing themselves on the ground trying to execute the most “committed” fall that they possibly can. During the show\, the performer attempts to measure “commitment” through audience feedback and sensor data that tracks body shape\, speed\, and impact. The performance juxtaposes the unrelenting falling\, real-time audience feedback on their “commitment\,” and projected visuals of collected data. Together\, these elements reveal the expectations raised and enforced by technological surveillance and gamified interaction systems\, and confront the viewer with the physical and emotional toll of trying to conform. This work is supported by the Dance Place Co-Presentation Series. 						\n				\n				\n				\n							\n					\n						\n									PURCHASE TICKETS\n					\n					\n				\n						\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n							About Kate Ladenheim Kate Ladenheim is a choreographer\, media designer\, and creative technologist.

SUMMARY:Spring Youth Showcase
DESCRIPTION:In this black and white image\, a performer positioned between two computers falls onto a black mat. She is caught with her knees hovering just above the ground and her body thrown backwards. She wears a black\, skin-tight technical suit. A set of imposing numbers and a grid-based formation of crumpled\, digital bodies is projected behind her.  						\n				\n				\n				\n							April 13 at 7pm						\n				\n				\n				\n							COMMIT! is an interactive performance in which a performer falls repeatedly\, throwing themselves on the ground trying to execute the most “committed” fall that they possibly can. During the show\, the performer attempts to measure “commitment” through audience feedback and sensor data that tracks body shape\, speed\, and impact. The performance juxtaposes the unrelenting falling\, real-time audience feedback on their “commitment\,” and projected visuals of collected data. Together\, these elements reveal the expectations raised and enforced by technological surveillance and gamified interaction systems\, and confront the viewer with the physical and emotional toll of trying to conform. This work is supported by the Dance Place Co-Presentation Series. 						\n				\n				\n				\n							\n					\n						\n									PURCHASE TICKETS\n					\n					\n				\n						\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n							About Kate Ladenheim Kate Ladenheim is a choreographer\, media designer\, and creative technologist.
