Description
Head Over Heels uses the human body as a vehicle for transformative experiences during live performance, integrating technologies such as gesture-controlled armbands paired with infrared tracking technology and real-time image processing. “In the 21st century we are experiencing how our interactions with technology have the ability to breed interconnectivity, while simultaneously separating us from our corporeal, somatic sensibilities,” says UC San Diego MFA sound-design student Grady Kestler. “Head over Heels will explore that paradox.” Kestler’s work features choreography by Anne Gehman and the use of a virtually interactive space facilitated and designed by Kestler and Justin Humphres (all three are first-year MFA students in the Theatre and Dance department). Through live performance, the work will examine the interactivity between creator, performer and spectator, using spectator participation as part of the choreographed live performance.
