Combustible is a lab for intersecting art practices from dance and technology, carving a place to be deeply inquisitive and experiment on the edge of what is known. This year we present works that confront fractured geographies, behavioral retrograde, and the digital divides in our everyday lives. In a city deconstructed, can technology help us form connections?
IN CIVILITY Pt. 2: Outrage Machine by Deborah Slater/Deborah Slater Dance Theater & John Fesenko interrogates technology’s role in transforming how we perceive and interact with the world of others, normalizing unthinkable behavior through the guise of screens.
TecTonic Shifts by dævron & Raissa Simpson’s PUSH Dance Company explores urban displacement and digital divides, shifting landscapes and cyber tremors. Sirens sound off in the face of chronic disaster with geographies fractured by evictions, increased surveillance and a legacy of redlining Black communities. Who decides what access and safety mean in the streets, circuits and software that shape a city?
Tickets are Pay-What-You-Can on Thursdays.
