​Join us at the Glass Clouds House on Governors Island for an afternoon of exciting new works for music, dance, and motion-sensing technology: MIGRATION PATTERNS by Mari Kimura & Adrienne Westwood, and Laminations by Yuxuan Lin.

​ABOUT

​Mari Kimura and Adrienne Westwood share their collaboration-in-progress MIGRATION PATTERNS, an interdisciplinary performance featuring cyclically responsive movement, sound and video. Dancers wear MUGIC® motion sensors to generate, interrupt, and shape a their audiovisual environment in real time as they explore notions of belonging, adaptation, and movement through time and space. The work weaves three layered choreographies of migration -- orbit, drift and locomotion -- with Kimura's original music and sensor-driven interactivity, collapsing boundaries between choreography, composition, and technology.

​This development of this work is supported, in part, by a grant from the New Music USA Creator Fund.

​Yuxuan Lin shares Laminations for MUGIC®. Drawing inspiration from the parallax effect — a visual technique in which layered images move at differing velocities to simulate spatial depth —the work constructs an illusory three-dimensional space from two-dimensional visual strata, treating spatiality as something continuously assembled in real time. This work invites audiences into a perceptual space where depth is no longer passively received but actively constructed through embodied interactions with the use of MUGIC® motion sensors.

​VENUE

​The Glass Clouds Ensemble House (Building 14, Nolan Park) is a beautiful community arts space with cozy seating, art exhibits, and sound installations.

​Governors Island is a short ferry from Manhattan and Brooklyn – ferry schedule & more info. It's a great place to spend a weekend day, rain or shine, with lots of art, bike paths, and food trucks!
