Upcoming at UC Davis, in California, a dance work based on art-science
collaboration, including former local, Jim Crutchfield.
http://theatredance.ucdavis.edu/news/collapse.htmlCOLLAPSE (suddenly falling down) is a new work by Della Davidson, in
collaboration with geologists Louise Kellogg and Dawn Sumner, computer
scientists Michael Neff and Oliver Kreylos, and physicist Jim Crutchfield,
with text by Ed Gaible. From the collapse of the social order in Rwanda,
to the twin towers falling and the ice caps melting into the sea, we fear
the disintegration of the systems upon which we depend. Performed by
Sideshow Physical Theatre in a joint production with Mondavi Center, this
unique collaboration between artists and scientists uses
computer-generated images in an interactive environment to illustrate how
systems fail and patterns reorganize. The piece was commissioned by the
Mondavi Center as part of the Creativity Project, a year-long event that
celebrates the work and spirit of choreographer Merce Cunningham, who has
been in the forefront of using technological systems to explore
choreographic ideas. COLLAPSE runs October 25-28 and November 1-4, 2007 in
Mondavi Center Studio Theatre.
