sound score

choreographers devynn emory, Aretha Aoki and Vanessa Anspaugh share the history of dancing for each other, as well as the desire to share resources. after 3 individual evening length works were performed by these individual artists, they decided to offer these works to one another as source material to make a collaborative piece. moving from the economic challenges of making a performance, these artists performed this collaboration in Fort Greene Park. a sound score with 3 tracks sourced from their original performances were mixed by artist Ryan McDonald. ear phones were offered to the audience members to listen as they watched the performance unfold amongst passing by park civilians, against the backdrop of a thriving and shifting public space.
