Notes from Source: Nox, May 2012, Dancespace by Rashaun Mitchell + Silas Riener

Further Notes: Taking cues from NOX, the work by award-winning poet and author Anne Carson, which includes old letters, family photos, collages and sketches, Mitchell and collaborator Silas Riener create a physical language that explores resuscitation, multidimensionality, trance and extraction, while Carson and Robert Currie add live drawing through the redirected light of overhead projectors.
