LUCY AI is a collaboration between Lucy Simic and her Toronto-based interdisciplinary performance collective bluemouth inc. and Montreal artificial intelligence company Reimagine AI. Simic and David Usher of Reimagine AI have been close friends for three decades, since they first met as students while studying modern dance at university in Vancouver, BC. In 2018, at the age of 49, Simic was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. Usher was deeply impacted by the news and began wondering how his company Reimagine AI, might be able to use its technology to create a poetic visual archive of his friend’s life and career as an artist. LUCY AI is an interactive video installation that tells the story of Lucy's life through a collage of film, music, and movement powered by artificial intelligence.
The 20th Annual La MaMa Moves! Dance Festival, curated by Nicky Paraiso with guest curators Martita Abril, Blaze Ferrer, and Adham Hafez, features works by 20 visionary artists with varied creative practices and approaches to performance. La MaMa Moves! runs April 10 to May 4, 2025, at La MaMa’s Ellen Stewart Theatre, The Downstairs Theatre, The Club, and Community Arts Space. Performance times vary.
