Work in Development: TAKES

Collaborators: Lars Jan [media artist + director], Beau Hancock [performer], Mike Kiley [musician] and KT Niehoff [supporting collaborator]


Canuso will be developing a work she defines as a genre-bending exploration of dance, installation and cinema inspired by the writings of Jorge Luis Borges. The theme of the project is the cinematic notion of a “take” – that is multiple iterations of the same scene. “With TAKES we’ll embrace the forking paths of a given moment, offering the live unfolding and refolding of human exchange and a series of perspectives from which to view it.” Canuso and collaborators will work to create an interactive environment that collects and reincorporates the lost gestures, ideas, and outtakes of a dance, weaving together that which is often left behind. This partnership project has been supported in part by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through Dance Advance.
