Reality has always been augmented—by the limits of our human perception. “Sky Blue Mythic” sees the body alienated, and the alien embodied. Worlds loom, times loop, gestures distill and meanings distort.
“Sky Blue Mythic” approaches dance as a non-human entity—existing on timescales longer than our cultural narratives, in spaces beyond the locality of the body, and forms unknowable to human-centric sensing—as a method towards opening ways to know dance, the body, and time, differently. It imagines gestures as symbols that can translate, morph and stretch meaning across times, dimensions, and worlds. In a quest to move away from anthropocentrism, “Sky Blue Mythic” allows dance to alienate itself from human expression, in turn requiring the body to become an interface rather than a vehicle.
