2012 Dance Meets Music - Solo Series, Sydney Arts Guide review, Sydney Conservatorium of Music
This performance of Robosapien was filmed in the Music Workshop at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. A collaborative multimedia project with Australian choreographer/dancer Emiline Forster, Robosapien explores the tension and division between artificial intelligence and humanity. From rigid, robotic movements to rippling arms and dance music, to the harsh textural sounds of processed violin and shifting voices, to shedding her skin, the music, lighting, and choreography combine to express this struggle and eventual disintegration. An eerie calm pervades like haze over a desolate landscape as she somewhat unsteadily claims the human condition.
