Who: Sushi Art Presents Tere O’Connor Dance “Rammed Earth”
What: “Rammed Earth” is a 60-minute piece designed for a limited audience of 50 people per performance. It explores architecture as a fundamental, subliminal force in the choreographic form as well as in human experience. O’Connor’s interest in “sentient architecture” in which structures change form in response to temperature, climate or human activity, is a catalyst for this wor. Audience members are incorporated into the expanding, contracting, liquid space of the work, as they are escorted into different viewing positions throughout the performance.
