Portal (2002)

Portal was a media/performance piece incorporating dance and video.

This work deals with communication between people engaged in crossings and transitions. The dance performance space was divided into three channels, with a video screen suspended at one end. Animated, processed footage adapted from dance imagery was projected on the screen, combined with a scrolling backdrop derived from the actual text of the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act.

Performed in February, 2001 at the Irvine Barclay Theatre.
