Ascension
Screendance2003

A screendance commissioned by Bergen College and subsequently presented in New York, China, Columbia, Italy, Korea and Mexico.
Ascension celebrates linkages between dance, visuals and music. It considers the possibilities of transcending boundaries through movement, responding to issues of fragmentation and making meaning across space and time. Contemporary dance choreography by Lisa Naugle, captured on video, transforms into luminous videodance animation by John Crawford, accompanied by a soaring electro-acoustic soundscape by Ron Mazurek.
Production date: March 2003.
