Join us for an international collaborative dance project by Sean Hoskins (MFA ’11, dance) and Cristina Lilienfeld, along with multimedia artist Alina Ușurelu. This showing of live dancers in two different countries will also include a new video work integrated into the performance, made from source video and audio recordings from throughout the multiple years of their creative relationship. The event will occur simultaneously in Bucharest and Ann Arbor to live audiences in both locations!

Themes integral to the work include:
– Words that don’t have translations beyond their native language
– What it means to be present in virtual relationships: human communication in the presence of technology

Sponsored by a Romanian arts grant and AREAL Collective (Bucharest, RO) with support from the SMTD Department of Dance.
