Berkeley Dance Project 2022

Presented by the Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies (TDPS)

Drawing on their years of exploration at the intersection of choreography and technology, Bay Area dance companies Smith/Wymore Disappearing Acts (SWDA) and Kinetech Arts collaborated with dancers at UC Berkeley to create two captivating films:

In Search of an Outcome (directed by Sheldon B. Smith and Lisa Wymore of SWDA) investigates similarities between machine learning and creative choices made in dance improvisation. The piece also examines how we form ourselves in relationship to our environment, other people, and the time in which we live.

Detour (directed by Daiane Lopes da Silva and Weidong Yang of Kinetech Arts) is a reflection on two years of uncertainties, fear, and solitude, as well as a continuation of research on non-deterministic technologies, scientific concepts, and choreography. The piece invites the audience into a space that is both familiar and strange.
