Kinetic Light present 'Wired' a dance theatre production with music by Ailís Ní Ríain

25 August 2022 19:30 - 27 August 2022 19:30

The Griffin Theater, The Shed

Created and performed by disability arts ensemble Kinetic Light, Wired is an immersive contemporary aerial dance experience of sound, light, and movement that traces the fine line between “us” and “them” while exploring the gender, race, and disability stories of barbed wire. Dancers defy gravity as the work questions and ruminates on power, belonging, abolition and deinstitutionalization, sexuality, art, community, and connection —embodying disability as creative and cultural force.

Kinetic Light artists Alice Sheppard, Jerron Herman, and Laurel Lawson perform immersed in Michael Maag’s compelling lighting, projection, and production design. Artist Josephine Shokrian is scenic and prop designer and composers Ailís Ní Ríain and LeahAnn ‘Lafemmebear’ Mitchell create discrete original scores for the work. Audio description artists for Wired include Shannon Finnegan, Cheryl Green, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, Dylan Keefe, Andy Slater, and Nathan Geering and Mo Pickering-Symes (both using The Rationale Method).
