of making the whole world a sky

“It was super helpful to have this commission, especially to have the kind of sustained conversation outside of one’s field. That is not totally a-typical for me, but there is so much I don’t know about this research. When I was talking to Andrew, I began thinking about birdcast as meta composition. We use the music to understand the science – it goes back and forth. It is part of a cycle as well.”

“Where do we start the narrative….

We were very late additions to the MAX line-up. I’m glad that we were a late addition– even at the late date. I think Kay’s presence and her feedback were helpful in many regards. Earlier on it would have been beneficial.

“MAX is a truly unique and profound company as it links brilliant and expansive scientific thinking with innovative design and theater making. As a designer who works around the world I can share that the efforts of the entire company are full of class, inspiration and a commitment to big idea in the community. One of last season’s highlights for me was working with this inspiring company.”

on How AI Lost It's Body

“I’m really pleased with how my work turned out, how it was presented, and how the audiences responded. This was a project clearly out of my comfort zone and I’m glad you went there with me. Thank you for supporting me and elevating my work for the last year and a half. I had a lot of fun! …

Working with MAX helped by pointing me towards performance in the first place, supporting me to do this: financially; with encouragement and criticism; and in craft by pairing me with a vocal coach and a movement director to get me ready to perform.”

on Doppelgänger

“MAX sort of prompted us to do a longer piece than originally imagined. It forced us to think more deeply dramaturgically. The framing of what MAX is doing — and specifically what the Neuroverse Festival is doing — sharpened our question to be more specific. That is exciting to us because we have been circling around it for a long time.

We’ve also gotten a lot out of the post-mortem conversations we’ve had after the show. We have been rethinking our use of machine learning — so much is making explicit things we do intuitively that are implicit.”

“It was because of MAXmachina that all this [Princeton Fellowship, BAM premiere] happened. You believed in us early and supported us on this journey when we didn’t know anything yet about the science or technology.”
