Role: Co - Creator
Description -Lamentation: Dancing the Archive merges Martha Graham’s iconic choreography with interactive technology. This participatory installation invites audiences to engage with an archival 3D film of Lamentation in two ways: by activating the installation themselves—dancing alongside the historic footage—and by using their own gestures to manipulate it in real time. This immersive interaction allows participants to physically experience Graham’s choreography, bridging past and present through movement.
