The Way You Look (at me) Tonight is an investigation of the role of movement and sensory dynamics in the perception and performance of otherness, created by choreographer and performance artist Jess Curtis and Scottish, self-identified disabled performer and choreographer Claire Cunningham, in consultation with acclaimed philosopher of perception Dr. Alva Noë. The project will culminate as an evening-length dance-based performance duet that will include video projections and original music, workshop presentations, site-specific installations and exhibitions, and panels and workshops devoted to the implications of the continuing evolution/ manipulation of “sensing” in our digital age. Estimated artist fee: $7,000/performance, $13,000/week.
