A Space Divided is a shared immersive performance installation that joins Liss Fain and her longtime set designer Matthew Antaky with guest choreographers Christian Burns and Amy Seiwert. Antaky's installation design developed from his research into the human brain. The brain's property of lateralization - its division into left and right hemispheres, and the interplay between the two - inspired the floor plan. A semi-permeable barrier between the two areas simulates the corpus collossum of the brain. Using Liss Fain Dance company members, all three choreographers have created a distinct piece for this environment. The three works will segue one into the other to create an evening-length performance installation.
"What I'm excited to see is how Matthew [Antaky]'s idea gets interpreted in the different choreographies," says Fain. "For me the bicameral set design invites an exploration of the duality of human nature - the ways we move between our private and public selves, what we think and feel versus what we say and do."
A Space Divided marks Fain's first collaboration with Burns and Seiwert. While all three choreographers draw upon the vernacular of ballet in creating mostly non-narrative works, each artist represents a distinctive voice in the world of contemporary dance.
Additional collaborators on A Space Divided include Jamielyn Duggan, costume design Dan Wool and Darren Johnson, sound design and Frederic Boulay, production manager.
Liss Fain company dancers performing in A Space Divided include Jeremiah Crank, Katharine Hawthorne, Megan Kurashige, Shannon Kurashige and Carson Stein.
