Tannery World Dance & Cultural Center Virtual Theater Premiere
On May 9th at 8pm, Tannery World Dance & Cultural Center presents a premiere of Virtual Theater, featuring resident TWDCC Artistic Director Micha Scott dancing in a new solo, Collective Experience/Collected Responses , scored by Solomon Scott.
TWDCC Virtual Theater crosses the threshold between the physical and the digital, presenting a platform for artists and audiences to come together from across distances large and small in live experiences enhanced by technology. The TWDCC studio is home to a new state of the art performance space built in tandem with Visual Endeavors, a Santa-Cruz based production design company.
Micha Scott created Collective Experience/Collected Responses with an understanding that although we are all in different parts of the world, have different pre-existing circumstances (financial, race, gender, age, health, access), and process with different minds and spirits, there is a pervading sense that we are feeling, moving, and experiencing collectively.
Micha’s Collective Experience/Collected Responses entwines voices from the global community — friends, students, acquaintances, teachers, friends, strangers — collating these responses in a musical score by Scott’s son, Solomon Scott. Micha’s choreography, characteristically precise and emotive, will find honesty, gravitas, and complexity through the body of submitted voice messages.
TWDCC’s Virtual Theater Premiere of Collective Experience/Collected Responses will air at 8PM on May 9th through the Tannery World Dance and Cultural Center Facebook and Instagram social media accounts. This performance is free for all viewers.
