shiver

“Shiver”, by Randy Gibson (sound), Oscar Henriquez (video), and Laine Rettmer (choreography), is a short work for video and dancers that takes advantage of the pure essence of video (projected light) and sound (waves) to elucidate the stark dance. Lines of light projected across the body become distorted and the shimmering prime intervals of the score are colored by the movements. “Shiver” is an unusual cyclical collaboration: the sound drives the video, the video drives the dance, and the movement of the dancers changes the sound and the video.

“Shiver” is an exploration of the basic pure elements of performance. By stripping down extraneous elements, the performance becomes a careful study of the nature of performance.

“Shiver” will receive its world premiere as part of Triplicate at The Gene Frankel Theatre on May 2 and 3, 2008 in New York City.
