Jennifer Monson

In Live Dancing Archive, choreographer Jennifer Monson and videographer/new media artist Robin Vachal explore the dancing body in conjunction with the moving image of video and other media as an archive of place, experience, and systems. LDA uses the conceptual framework of the archive to build two interrelated components - an eveninglength solo and a video/new media project - that simultaneously investigate the nature of impermanence in relation to embodied identities and constructions of environment. The solo will be created from material selected, learned, and set from the video documentation of 20 years of Monson's performance work.
