Force Feed
Sometimes finding and sustaining an agreeable frequency is a bit more of a struggle than it should be. As Dan Ockers said about climbing mountains in Japan, "It's like there is a chain of little ghosts hanging off of your ankles, and every step you take, another grabs hold".
Force Feed shifts through the difficulty of that space seeking the moment of resolution.

Egoist
Egoist was developed for a multi-screened environment that envelops the audience. The dancer moves through six evolutions of the ego: Birth -> Awareness -> Corruption -> Destruction -> Revival -> Freedom. The live music of Artanker Convoy accompanies the movement and simultaneous analog feedback projections on the surrounding screens.

Render
"The stunning evolving video patterns projected in Rendered (by Nicole Wolcott with Bruna de Araujo and Andy Personette) outdo TV as they trap and embellish Naoko Kikuchi's dancing body."
-Deborah Jowitt, Village Voice
Render is a designed interplay between dancer and video. Light chases and teases the dancer through the space until it finally consumes her and the two move in tandem.

Frayed
Frayed shows a woman coming apart as she tries to be all things to all people. Her attempts to impress become her ultimate demise. With each new develoment another layer of her costume is stripped away until she is layed bare. Self realization leads to laughter and a final release in refracted light.
