In this RTV episode we chat with Jessica Cook about her piece Dog Flats which incorporates a mapped pattern with performers working off of each other, simultaneously performing, dancing and creating sound and a live score.
Dog Flats sees three women using objects, materials, and movement patterns to create a live multi-layered sound score amidst personal investigation to architecture, work/labor, disaster, and historic iconography.
