Dance
a leaf falls is a choreographic experiment developed in Kathryn Posin’s Choreography class, where dancers improvised in response to live typed instructions projected onto the theatre wall and read aloud through text-to-speech. Created through the class’s exploration of “machine and artificial intelligence in choreography,” the work stages “intimate moments of trust, commitment, and spontaneity” shared across the ensemble.
