Characters is a new dance work choreographed and performed by Katherine Helen Fisher in collaboration with electronic musician Nelly Kate and designers Leslie Rogers, Valincy-Jean Patelli, Jeepneys and Milan DelVecchio. A continuation of Fisher’s deep interest in interdisciplinary collaboration and its capacity to reinvigorate dance, the mixed media piece explores the connection between identity and technology, and the human need for ritual through dance and visual media. Fisher brings a feminist consciousness to the engineering of the emerging technologies and dance. The work is commissioned by Georgia Tech.
