As part of the pilot CounterPulse Performance and Technology Combustible — a residency model for artists collaborating with creative technologists— we hosted two work-in-progress labs last week for participating artists: Capacitor with collaborator Zach Howard, and Dohee Lee with collaborator Donald Swearingen.

If I had the time it would be better to keep me on track if I would blog every day during this process... but these days are full and there is much to say about what has taken place over the last month so forgive me if this blog is more like a sampler plate, with only a small taste of many ideas... Since the last blog there have been several food parties that have gone down. We had a

Dance Anywhere Interview with Lisa Townsend Co.

DA: You mention that indifference is based on Albert Camus' The Stranger. How did you decide to use this novel as inspiration for your performance? LTCo: As a reflection on the absurdity of free will, indifference questions the troubling impenitence experienced by Camus' protagonist, Meursault. What if free will, which we hold so dear as a marker of individual freedom, actually engenders a lack of empathy for those around us? Does our experience of the world then simply become a series of self-affirming reactions to
