in the wake of a sleeping machine is an ensemble work researching the relationship between collective movement patterns, light, colour, and interactive soft sculptures to architect, refract, and transform space and time. Expressing the vitality of community connection that challenges the consumption-driven, individualist system we are embedded in, this performance takes an abstract approach to explore how a community can work together to respond to change, adapt, and continue moving forward.
The image begins with a rhythmic ensemble, a conjoined globular form; each body a cog in a machine, unaware of their dependence on one another. They've moved this way for years; the light is just now illuminating this static machine. One cog breaks out, shattering the cluster. In its ruin, each piece gains sentience.
