Description
Selected as a 2012 Lucas Artists Program Visual Arts Fellow, California based artist Nina Waisman will present an evening of performance and interactive sound works. Waisman will create these new works-in-progress in collaboration with dancers and choreographers during her residency at Montalvo. A visual and media artist, with a background in dance, Waisman works with technologically driven forms of control and communication, crafting and exhibiting interactive, gesture-driven sound installations and performances. As a former dancer, she is especially interested in the role movement plays in forming our thoughts: such “physical thinking” has been posited by neurologists and cognitive scientists to be the pre-conscious scaffolding for all human logic.Waisman’s collaborators for As Body Envelope include New York choreographer Mariah Maloney, who was a member of the Trisha Brown Dance Company (1995-2002) and is now Artistic Director of Mariah Maloney Dance, and Los Angeles-based choreographers and visual artists Natalie Metzger and Flora Wiegmann, both of whom have internationally renowned careers in dance and the visual arts, and who collaborate extensively with other artists. The performances will be followed by a Q & A with the artist and her collaborators.
This event is organized in collaboration with ZERO1 as part of 9 evenings: 2012 ZERO1 Biennial Performance Program.
