Rashaun Mitchell

Rashaun and Silas draw from their embodied “Desires Lines” practice – which combines improvisatory movement, vocalization, and object manipulation – to build Open Machine, a site-responsive, community-oriented performance installation. Open Machine interrogates the tension of the virtual and the real, where logics and syntaxes of coding and game theory are applied to live bodies and relational scenarios. Projected footage, documented scores, and audience participation influence performers’ paths and expose the mechanics of creation.
