Resident Alien /// DARKFEST(August 1, 2018) -As part of Darkfest at The Tank, the audience will observe as performers are guided through a unique process of groupwork tnamed Group Listening*. The objective of Resident Alien is for the performers to transform a fixed electronic piece into a structured, live sound performance. One designated performer will play the role of the alien; they will be listening to a completely different electronic media piece on headphones while the other players are listening through speakers. Throughout their performance, the group will continuously shape their (re)constructed composition by alternating between attentive listening, improvising, and exchanging verbal feedback. They must reckon with the question of what it means to succeed as a group. In doing so, Resident Alien metaphorically facilitates a process of assimilation between the alien and the rest of the group via this performance practice.

I Found a Pearl in the Wall this Morning (December 18, 2017) - Orlando, FL The Gallery at Avalon Island, 7 PM - I Found a Pearl in the Wall this Morning features a performer as a non-descript automaton following directions from a remote anonymous source via real-time internet document on a tablet. The audience interacts with the “Autonomous Controller” through a group text messaging application that conceals the phone numbers of audience members. A dystopian micro-society is created within the audience as the application boots members out of the group when someone is idle for too long, and due to the fact that the “Anonymous Controller” will make choices as to which of the audience suggestions are sent to the automaton.
The Autonomous Controller’s prompts to the Automaton range from musical instructions to movement instructions to interaction with the audience and performance space. The Automaton constantly carries a tablet with them to see the prompts from the Anonymous Controller.
In addition to controlling the Automaton, the Anonymous Controller manipulates the electronic synthesizers and effects processing on physical instruments in the performance space from a remote location.. The Automaton reacts immediately to the commands, inwardly realizing the possibilities of their world through interaction with physical instruments, while other commands demand that the Automaton reaches outside of their inner dialogue to explore the outer universe of audience and physical performance space.
