“Adroitly put together, [Rashaun Mitchell and Silas Riener’s] choreography is studded with real beauty and invention.” —New York Times
Open Machine is an open experiment. For their new Walker commission, choreographers Rashaun Mitchell and Silas Riener return with a dynamic work that imagines an artificial intelligence lovingly programmed through experimental dance. Open Machine brings together live speech‑to‑text transcription and conjured images that react to the unfolding performance, blurring the lines between brain, body, and machine. As dancers navigate the stage with precision and abandon, the piece reflects the social and spatial structures that shape daily life.
Featuring luminous media design by Jesse Stiles, a sweeping electro-acoustic score by Charmaine Lee and Mas Ysa, and lighting design by Davison Scandrett.
