new immortal, a multimedia work by Liana Zhen-ai and Jordan Rapaport, imagines a world in which archaeologists of the future dig up evidence of our impact on the planet. With the discovery of discarded single-use plastics, antiquated technology, and skeletons of disappearing species come memories, the faint evidence of the ways these lost objects touched us as much as we touched them. Through movement, sound, storytelling and projection, we speak to plastic bags, cradle the hole in the ozone, and confront the collective grief of the Anthropocene era. In this temporally warped, melting history, who speaks? When we re-write the story of the planet, who lives to tell the tale? Can the dissolution of narrative allow new voices to enter the scene, and history to be written by new victors?

NEW IMMORTAL WORKSHOP INFORMATIONOur workshop will delve into the creative process of new immortal to help illuminate how the concept and content of the work came together. Participants will be guided through a movement and writing warm up, and take part in a movement creation session where we generate a small choreographic phrase based on our writing. With the participants&#x27; consent, we will document the phrases and accumulate snapshots of the movement. We hope that in participating in the process of movement creation, the participants will gain a more intimate knowledge of how dance performances are created.
