WASHINGTON, DC: Kate Ladenheim Presents "COMMIT!
Company:
Kate Ladenheim
COMMIT! is an interactive performance in which a performer (me) falls repeatedly, throwing myself on the ground trying to execute the most “committed” fall that I possibly can.
During the show, I attempt to measure “commitment” through audience feedback and sensor data that tracks body shape, speed, and impact. The performance juxtaposes my unrelenting falling, real-time audience feedback on my “commitment,” and projected visuals of collected data. Together, these elements reveal the expectations raised and enforced by technological surveillance and gamified interaction systems, and confront the viewer with the physical and emotional toll of trying to conform.
This work is supported by the Dance Place Co-Presentation Series.
