Creative Director + Choreographer creating seamless visceral experiences at the intersection of dance, theatre, and technology across physical and virtual space.
We had a successful touring stop for Kinetic Diffusion in Charlotte this past weekend in partnership with Blumenthal Arts and Charlotte Symphony for their event, MERGE. We shared our Photo Booth version of Kinetic Diffusion in the lobby for folks to explore while taking a break from the concert. In this installation, guests learn about AI image generation in a fun embodied way by exploring and writing different prompts and moving in the world they co-created. They even get to record a video which is sent to their email. We had over 400 prompts generated in just two evenings! It's fascinating to see the "vibe" of the prompts shift from city to city and event to event. We saw lots of interest in anime, fantasy characters, and club culture (naturally) in Charlotte. MERGE brought the worlds of EDM and the Symphony together for a unique collaborative concert featuring luscious visuals and an opportunity to be up close with the musicians in a new setting. It was a fantastic example of how to build a bridge between audiences and offer new context for performance. Can't wait to bring our installation to more places!
Absolutely SO rad!!
