Full Description:

Geoff Matters and koosil-ja will perform the first stage of the exploration of a dance and mixed media work, Dance Without Body, which is a study of the chapter, "Body Without Organs" from the book "Mille Plateaux" by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. For Mixology Festival, they will perform "live processing," one of three main components of the work, in which koosil-ja dances following multiple self-prepared video source materials. The system is created as a tool to produce dance while abstracting herself from significances and subjectifications. Geoff will perform live video and sound score using a customized software environment conceptually relevant to the work. The Experimental Television Center's Presentation Funds program is supported by the New York State Council on the Arts and mediaThe Foundation.
