Remote Dances
Remote Dances is a direct experience with the artist Myriam Lefkowitz and her collaborator Julie Laporte. Through the use of mobile devices, involving one spectator and one performer, questions of attention and perception emerge. Myriam’s performance involves sending and receiving a dance through space with no other medium than our desire to listen and to connect.
Since the beginning of the lockdown, Myriam and Julie have enacted a remote dance, exploring the impacts of physical distance on our bodies and how humans navigate and co-create new fiction across space. Over the past decade, Myriam has been interested in interdisciplinary modes of performances that blur the boundaries between the somatic, sensory and spatiotemporal intelligences. In Remote Dances, Myriam and Julie play with the notion of distance by inviting the participants to a virtual realm to co-create fictions.
