Backhausdance With(in) OCMA / MESH

Immerse yourself in this moving exploration of human connection and empathy created by choreographer Jennifer Backhaus in collaboration with Backhausdance dancers. Based on the exhibition Alexandra Grant: Telepathy is One Step Further Than Empathy, the dancers move in duets fraught with conflict, ultimately finding connection and understanding with each other.

A movement response captured and filmed in the OCMA galleries, the performance captures the dynamic interplay between contemporary dance and visual art.

Dancers: Ellen Akashi, Kira Bartoli, Samuel DeAngelo, Katie Natwick, Adrien Padilla, Santiago Villareal

Videography and film production by Chris Emerick and Paragon Media.
