Emotive Land is an Augmented Reality dance installation centering nature's resilience in the Canal District, Cambridge.

Canal District Cambridge

Emotive Land is an Augmented Reality dance installation accessible via a free smartphone app. This site specific performance project allows audience members/users to watch dances on their smartphones at sites along the Charles River. The arrangement of short dance vignettes center nature&#x27;s resilience, and encourage all to consider a relationship to land, rooted in stewardship versus hierarchical ownership. Created as a site responsive installation captured on film and translated through technology, this project invites harmony between nature, society and innovation. As people walk the Charles with whatever perceptions and feelings they have at that moment, moments of movement displayed through our interactive augmented reality app will interrupt their internal dialogue and bring them to an alternate vision of what they normally see. Through this interruption, they can perceive the dynamic dance that constantly exists between themselves and their environment.​The physical constraints of our public spaces shape the art of human expression and growth in a similar relationship as the habitat of Nature’s organisms shapes Nature’s art. Therefore, the stairwell, hallway or bench are the constraints that enable the art of that space to manifest. The passerby of site-specific work exhibits an intriguing autonomy. Audience members are free to come and go at any time, making their attention, however brief, the most profound acceptance of art itself.Choreographer/curator Lonnie Stanton hopes to place human expression outside in a way that has no hierarchy: the tree and the squirrel are of no less value than the human in process. How do we frame and highlight the plants and wild animals that are left in cities? How do we not assume authority over nature, especially in an urban landscape? Emotive Land is a project of Boston-based contemporary dance collective <a href="http://www.theclickboston.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Click. </a>Emotive Land is made possible in part by grants and residencies received from: Boston Moving Arts Productions, The Dance Complex BLOOM Residency Program, a Somerville Arts Council ArtAssembled Residency Fellowship, the New England Foundation for the Arts’ New England Dance Fund, with generous support from the Aliad Fund at the Boston Foundation, and the Live Arts Boston grant from the Boston Foundation. Additional resources and support provided to The Click by BioMed Realty, MIT Open Space Programming, and individual donors like you.Oftentimes, grants, residencies and incomes associated with the production of dance projects and performances do not meet the expenses demanded of the endeavors. If you are able, please consider helping us to close the gap between our costs and available funds so that we can continue to produce projects like Emotive Land. Please note that donations are not tax deductible at this time.About The ClickDeveloped in 2021, The Click is a collaborative dance company and creative collective in Greater Boston. Its members are dancers whose primary medium of physical expression is through contemporary dance forms, but who experiment in many modes and genres of creativity. As a collective, The Click’s members are each deeply invested in answering the universally complex question: who am I and what am I doing here?The Click contributes to the consistent presence of creativity in Boston and beyond in several ways: by educating pre-professional youth dancers, professional adult dancers and the dance-curious of any age; performing original creations several times a year at traditional and non-traditional venues across Massachusetts, New England and beyond; and by investing in the curiosity of those new to dance in Boston or new to dance in general by maintaining an open, inclusive and accessible community.Follow us on Instagram: <a href="http://www.instagram.com/the.click.boston" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">@the.click.boston</a>About The Team:Lead Curation, Choreography and Direction: <a href="http://www.instagram.com/lstanz25" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Lonnie Stanton</a>Digital Concept and Lead Production: <a href="http://www.bodiesmoving.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Kristin Wagner</a>Digital Design and Execution: James PeerlessCreativity and Performance: <a href="https://shemovesandmakes.wixsite.com/shemovesandmakes/about" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Angelina Benitez</a>, <a href="https://www.rachellinsky.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Rachel Linsky</a>, <a href="http://www.instagram.com/nunweilertanz" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Alexandria Nunweiler</a>, Lonnie Stanton, and Kristin WagnerMusic Composition and Consultation: <a href="http://www.instagram.com/nate_tucker" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Nate Tucker</a>Music Mixing and Assistance: Scott BartonFilming, Cinematography, and Project Consultation: Olivia Blaisdell of <a href="http://www.halfasianlens.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Olivia Moon Photography</a>/<a href="http://www.instagram.com/halfasianlens" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">@halfasianlens</a> Green Screen Filming, Editing and Project Consultation: Lindsay Caddle LaPointe of <a href="http://www.linden-tree-productions.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Linden Tree Productions</a>Photography: Olivia Blaisdell of Olivia Moon Photography/@halfasianlens Public Relations: John Michael Kennedy/JMKPRSocial Media: Angelina Benitez, Alexandria Nunweiler, and Kristin WagnerAdditional Project Support: <a href="http://www.publicdisplaysofmotion.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Peter DiMuro</a>
