EdgeCut presents its inaugural season: a double bill of boundary-pushing new works by Katherine Helen Fisher and Leo Chang that activate language, sound, gesture, and technology. Presented on December 3rd and 5th at its brand new home, Edge Space, a co-op for live performance experiments in SoHo.
About the Works
Cyborg Mirror by Katherine Helen Fisher is a radical techno-feminist performance merging contemporary dance, performance art, and interactive AI systems to interrogate power, agency, and digital embodiment.
COLLABORATORS: Shimmy Boyle, Mingyong Cheng, C. Finley, Josh Kadish (Vviota)
jeonmonori by Leo Chang is an electronic reimagining of the sangmo, a hat with a long, spinning whip made of ribbon attached to its crown, which is worn and played during the sangmonori, a Korean folk tradition where the instrumentalist/performer plays and dances simultaneously with their percussion instrument.
