Curator's Note:

What is the moment that allows you to break free of your repetitive patterns? That question inspires a grueling two-year quest by an award-winning international dance-theatre-media company to create its next great work.

 

In loopdiver: The Journey of a Dance, filmmakers go behind-the-scenes to follow the members of Troika Ranch as they cope with the extreme physical and emotional demands of creating an experimental new work.

 

This collection shares insights from the artists behind loopdiver and excerpts from the performance of the work. Ultimately, the collection highlights the intimate creative journey explored in loopdiver: The Journey of a Dance.

This is a small example of when the video score required the performers to instantly move from one place to another on the stage, a movement that was impossible to realize in real time. The co-artistic directors created a device of bringing up a different look in the lighting so that the dancers could 'reset' and to give a sense of being in another condition.
