Tesseract is a collaboration between Rashaun Mitchell, Silas Riener, and Charles Atlas. It is an evening-length presentation in two parts separated by an intermission: a 3D dance film featuring seven dancers and a live proscenium performance with six dancers. The film offers speculative worlds and alternate possibilities in bold visual environments. The performance includes live-video capture with multiple cameras, mixed by Atlas and projected into the stage space. Images obscure and reveal moving bodies behind a translucent scrim, magnified and refracted by Atlas. Through collective action we forge a link between human ritual conjuring and new technological magic, between the past and the future. Estimated artist fee: $35,000/week (plus travel and accomodations).
