Ghost Play

Ghost Play is a cycle of 5 pieces for dancer, electric guitar, and electronics. Each piece utilizes a unique conceptual system for improvisation that was developed over several months. The aim was to create a practice that unroots traditional, hierarchic aspects of creative interaction between dance and sound, and to create an improvisational work that is endlessly in communication with itself.

Each piece is a performance/ritual that serves as an analogy for the way we experience time; specifically the idea that a life or existence is created through the layering of perception as memory over time––and action (and the future) is informed by the essentially unstable, limited nature of memory.
