A 15 minute excerpt of "mach.com" will be show at the mixed media showcase in residence at Triskelion Arts.
mach.com plays with the speedy ways we often arouse and appease one another as if we lived in a microwavable world of love. Created in both Taipei and New York in 2010-2011, the show debates the fragile balance between a sense of selflessness and selfishness in connecting to others.
Featuring performers: Courtney Drasner, Marcos Duran, Elise Knudson, and Mei Yamanaka
Jenni Hong Dance at E-MOVES 13
April 20-28, 2012
