THE BLACK BOX

The British electronic soundmaker and the multidisciplinary artist, performer, and filmmaker present new live AV dance performance, developed and adapted from their 2021 video Altered States on the Dancefloor.
Costume, choreography, and dance are entwined with high pressure sound, stroboscopic light, and vivid multi-screen projections to create playful and disruptive interventions between the audience and performer, exploring the new possibilities of what it means to be physically present in a space together.
Treanor has released records on Planet Mu, The Death of Rave, and Warp sub-label Arcola. He uses the programming language Max/MSP to develop bespoke software exploring extended rhythmic techniques and algorithmic processes, building devices that enable spontaneous pattern modulation within various collaborations, workshops, live performances, and installations
Ziu’s practice focuses on the playful and absurd, creating bizarre worlds through performance, costume, live art, video, and musical collaborations. Her work often explores a re-processing of absorbed information, regurgitating it back in paradoxical and perverse ways. The work usually starts with a question, in which the answers are discovered through a sense of play, improvisation and trial & error.
