Glitch (working title) will explore concepts of choice, coercion, and control. Performers will choose to follow, ignore or influence material dictated to them, in real-time, by a computer program, blurring the lines between consent, control, and coercion and exploring ways technology and our intersecting identities inform and mediate one another. Glitch will feature notated and prompt-based material (text, sound, and image) alongside free and guided improvisation and will draw aesthetic influences from Afrobeat, Minimalism, and the Avant-garde. The piece will feature narrated performance by brittany j. green and live video processing performance by Kate Alexandrite. Glitch is funded by Alarm Will Sound’s Matt Marks Impact Fund.
