Multitudes

Multitudes was the working title of Linda’s preliminary research for her honors thesis in dance at The George Washington University. The solo was presented on December 9th, 2017, and the full ensemble work will premier in May.

Multitudes is a dance/technology piece on the subject of intimacy in virtual spaces. By connecting a GoPro camera to the body while dancing, two simultaneous performances are created — one physical, and one online. Each involves a different, but at times concurrent, relationship with an audience member; one face-to-face, and one through a screen. Thus, the viewer is confronted with the meaning of intimacy and how it manifests in digital spheres — sometimes more than it does “in real life.”

Please enjoy this bad lighting and some soft improv warmup from September
Reviewing old rehearsal footage has me thinking about gaze and perspective and intimacy and also how I apparently only own one tank top
Thank you @plyspace for documenting The Thaw! Loving these photos 👀
Finally getting around to processing photo/video from the show last month— here’s a shot from “Experiment in Tension” with @mjoyliver . I miss navigating canvas and space with this powerhouse lady!
What a year! Thankful for collaborators, mentors, students, and friends who enrich my art and my world. Happy New Year! #2018bestnine
Experiment in Tension. @liryanmovement @mjoyliver ///// \\\\\ ///// Deconstruction is a practice of slowing down to engage in the present moment. The many iterations of the project have emphasized the mental space for contemplation and conversation created by removing thread after thread from a piece of fabric. “Experiment in Tension” shifts the focus to the body-- by performing repetitive action in collaboration, the work expands Deconstruction to a multi-person endeavor centered on the mental and physical spaces we can share with others. \\\\\ ///// \\\\\ Special thanks to @return_of_gale for this rad video.
“The Thaw” premieres tomorrow! Come to @plyspace 6-8pm to see me dancing and improvising on the thermochromic floor I’ve been developing during my residency. Catch @mjoyliver and I collaborating on some fiber arts/performance as well!
The Thaw premieres this Thursday! Come out to the @plyspace gallery 6-8pm to see me perform on a split bill with @mjoyliver . Hope to see you there!
“The Thaw.” New choreography, coming December 6th.
