“Everywhere's Inside-Outside” is a collaborative dance video—an interactive work inviting visitors to virtually dance with strangers in other people’s spaces. The work was an approach to breaking down the artificiality of Zoom-based performance through layering and live “interactions” in a museum space. Over the course of several days, visitors to the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art could add a new layer of movement to an ongoing, evolving dance video. The base background layers were submitted by community members taking photos of their own personal spaces, including bedrooms, living rooms, and the sky above their homes. This piece functioned as a public, abstract improvisation to address intimacy, isolation and community as well as a lens through which to reflect on a uniquely alienating moment in our world (the pandemic lockdown).
