CHOREOGRAPHER'S NOTE

 

In Effort of Interface, I focus on the effort of interface wherein I look at technology as a tool and examine its function as a point of interface, specifically with regards to the proximity of human connection. I am particularly interested in the effort that involves both a technological component and a human component - how convenient, how easy, how much honest effort do we allow ourselves in order to be connected?
