Choreographer Nichole Canuso of Nichole Canuso Dance Company, Early Morning Opera founding artistic director Lars Jan, and Pig Iron Theatre Company cofounder and co-artistic director Dito van Reigersberg have joined forces for the real-time multimedia movement installation TAKES. Set in a black box surrounded on all four sides by a lightweight transparent scrim on which are projected live and recorded performances, TAKES uses the idea of cinematic takes as it explores a relationship that usually, in real life, does not necessarily get do-overs until things are perfect. The piece will be performed by Canuso and van Reigersberg, with an original score by Michael Kiley from the Mural and the Mint, video by Pablo N. Molina, and costumes and sets by Maiko Matsushima. There will be two performances a day January 5-8 at 3LD Art and Technology Center, with audiences encouraged to walk around the projection box and experience TAKES from different angles and perspectives. In addition, visitors are invited to enter the installation and make their own dance for free on January 7 from 2:30 to 6:30.
