Expansiveness: Changing perspective – a live streaming experience merging architecture and dance from MashUp Contemporary.
Architecture studio CMLA and MashUp Contemporary Dance Company, in collaboration with HomeMake Labs, present the virtual restaging of Expansiveness: Changing perspective.
This immersive performance first presented at the A + D museum in 2018, evokes both spatial and social manifestations of expansiveness. The physical and projected environment is a design implementation of CMLA’s ongoing research project Architecture of Effortless Attention, through which the studio is investigating means and methods for producing qualities of mystery and novelty to promote psychological wellness. MashUp’s choreography brings the audience through a narrative of identifying truth among the thoughts we each project upon ourselves and upon each other. The performance explores the potential of people recognizing a problem, considering solutions together, and collectively producing change through the expansion of one small idea.
The virtual restaging of this work will be performed live at MashUp’s resident studio and streamed to audiences, creating a sensation of being in the action right from their own homes. Co-produced by two female-owned organizations, Expansiveness: Changing perspective celebrates Women’s Equality Day with a live streaming performance on August 23rd.
This performance is made possible in part by the City of Culver City and its Cultural Affairs Commission, with support from Sony Pictures Entertainment and the Culver City Arts Foundation.
MashUp Contemporary Dance Company is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization supported, in part, by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture.
