Leisure Place (excerpts) #1

Leisure Palace (2015) Presented at InFuture Festival at Ontario Place, September 2016

In collaboration with performer Ann Trépanier and DJ po NY, Leisure Palace questions the relationship of performer and viewer. A site responsive, immersive installation that floats between pulsing party and minimalist dreamscape, the artists build a utopic landscape in and around the audience in slow motion. Asking, ‘What are the impacts of an environment built for a desired outcome?’

Choreography by Amanda Acorn

Performed by Amanda Acorn, Ishan Davé, Mary Dora Bloch-Hansen, Justin De Luna, Lori Duncan, Ann Trépanier and DJ Pony.

Created in residence at Videofag and Stone Boat Artist Retreat.
