| ... How does this cube, | ...fill this space? |
 |  |
I first met Martin Tonner in the fall through David Clark's intermedia studio course at NSCAD. Mocean had proposed a collaboration with the media arts students, asking for proposals that included a meeting ground for contemporary dance, movement and any digital possibility....
A movement enthusiast himself, Martin immediately drew the connection between the folding joints of the body and his pliable mini structure. Curious how one can affect the other, the measurements begin and he creates a life size rubic cube type sculpture for a playground of adaptability to emerge.
Creating spaces and making places, Mocean dancers (Susanne Chui, Sara Coffin and Rhonda Baker) will dive through and soar around the sculpture both physically and digitally. With mini wi-fi camera attached to the structure and sending their live video feed around the room, a trio is now created between dancers, sculpture and camera and the frames to enter and exit increase exponentially.
The dance will unfold in front and around the audience, through the frames of the folding sculpture and on the 15 media screens around the room. This is Halifax's own matrix adventure.
| Folding spaces and making | places to exist physically and digitally |

This is an experiment of the negative and positive space, relationships, shifting frames and breaking view points. An experience not to miss.
Join us at Reverb on April 26th and watch this proposition take flight and hit the stage.
