GLASSlands: Living (and dancing) in our bubbles.

We had the opportunity to chat with the masterminds behind GLASSlands and gained some fascinating insights into the upcoming show! Get ready for a experience that will challenge your perceptions. #GLASSlands #ArtistryUnleashed

GLASSlands explores human interactions, intimacy, alienation and the increasing compromise of human connection due to the intervention of communications technology. The evening-length work features striking set design by award-wining artist Sean Riley comprising large, transparent pod-like structures, or “bubble rooms” that fill and animate the performance space, creating a plastic world that dancers inhabit and explore. Recent social-media-driven realities affect partnerships, friendships, love and how people manifest intimacy in a complex, screen-filled world.

“The issues GLASSLands explored when it premiered in 2017 are not only still with us, they have become acutely relevant in the intervening years due to global health, peace, and social issues we have all experienced together. With this in mind, we are remounting and substantially updating the work to reflect the state of human connections and disconnections, intimacy, and alienation. Technology today seems inseparable from interpersonal relationships. As we continue to suffer the social and personal upheavals of our time, art that shines a light on authentic, shared experience and relationships is particularly urgent.” – Stacey Printz
