Hypnagogic Jerk is a 45 minute dance and performance piece. Created at Jack Straw New Media gallery as the culmination of a two month long grant and residency at Jack Straw Cultural Center. The mixed-media installation was produced through a two month long exploration and process open free and daily to the public. Original soundscore composed and played by Daniel Salo.
Rachel Green and Seth Sexton led discussions and presentations for visiting college student groups. The piece included a series of workshops over three consecutive weekends, for sighted and visually impaired students from Seattle and around the region. The students participated in hands-on art, music, and movement workshops with Rachel, Seth, Jack Straw and teaching artists Susie Kozawa and Esther Sugai. This workshop project was provided under a contract with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as part of their VSA Arts Access for Kids program.
