Artist-choreographer Kate Ladenheim falls repeatedly to various pop songs and you, the audience member, rate her level of commitment to falling.
Haunting and humorous at once, Ladenheim takes your feedback into account as she attempts to improve her falling, making herself into a playable avatar. All the while, her movements in each fall are monitored by motion capture and projected as digital avatars accumulating in piles behind her. By ceding some control of Kate’s body to you, mediating that control through various machines and programs, and punting an interpretive task back out to you in a reinforcing feedback loop, this performance asks who is more vulnerable, the judge or the judged? Who is in charge of the body in a technologically mediated world?
