This set was created for While We Are Human, by Sapience Dance Company. The site-specific, 360 degree design is primarily cast-offs from remodeling projects. The sculptural elements move easily on casters, and made multiple set changes throughout the evening length performance.
At times the audience was guided or herded with the movable elements, shifting them throughout the entry lobby and performance space. Four pillars are covered with painted views of the forest or cityscapes. Even the built-in kitchen in the venue became part of the set, featuring a live score composed and performed by Nathan Seder.
