Alone/Together is a 60 minute dance and video installation by Rebecca Rich and choreographed by Audrey Sides that explores how memory, the unconscious, and the physical body meet. Six dancers, spanning generations, move within and around a ring of video screens, appearing at times as full bodies and at times only as silhouette, so that presence and absence share the same space. Two original video works will be screened, one projected underfoot and on the audience and one across three screens, creating a place where text becomes movement, and movement becomes image. No two viewers experience the same piece and no two performances are the same experience.
We are pursuing funding for a choreographic residency at LA Dance Project in January 2027 to be able to immerse Audrey and Rebecca and the six dancers in process and pay dancers fairly. For the premiere (date and venue TBD), we are budgeting for additional rehearsals, show rates for the performers as well as a production manager and technical manager. Built into the work is a dynamism and flexibility to different spaces with the desire to bring the show to different kinds of venues (proscenium theatres, galleries, parking lots, etc), so we are also putting aside budget for transportation costs and per diem for local and national touring.
