Terrestrial Crip Drift

Petra Kupper’s will discuss and screen a core method, crip drifting, also one of the motors of her eco soma investigations. One aspect of these crip drift works is Petra's interest in expanded cinema: from virtual reality/immersion work to alternative presentation models and audiencing for film dance. Petra has a long-standing interest in expanded media as a way to engage access in dance. She uses video to offer dance making opportunities for people who cannot be in long rehearsals, can't commit to long production arcs, or specific touring schedules.

In this series of short dances (and in her Crip/Mad Archive Dances experimental documentary, forthcoming 2024), Petra plays with engaging the screen: dancing with the video beam, throwing shadows to allow spectators to break the cinematic stillness and to become active participants in score-based filmed performances.

Activities: Audiences are invited to bring their own writing/drawing materials and respond to the imagery.
