Light Switch: Trio
blurb
A continuation of Light Switch. As a group work now, dancers can also be potential observers, collaborators, and performers. When a dancer says ‘open your eyes’ or ‘close them’ this now applies to their fellow dancers. It will affect how they move, and can be interacted with. Some parts of the dance you may never see unless you decide to keep your eyes open once you’ve been asked to close them. And then, what the artist(s) choose to share is their individualized version of this dance, and is shared graciously with the viewer. A new dance each time.
Thank you to the dancers: Natalia Fernandez (she/her), Courtney Holbrooks (she/they), Maddie Musgraves (she/her)
Thank you to these music artists: Alva Noto, Kate Bush, Clean Cut Kid

about go.co
go.co (founded dec ’23) strives to provide the audience with the materials for intellectual accessibility and kinesthetic empathy. Infused with an exhibit-like quality that encourages engagement and interpretation, Maggie’s choreography provides the audience with groundwork information and an opportunity through action or inaction to have a unique experience as a witness.
The performers are also given agency in the creation and performance of the work. through open artistic communication between myself and the dancers, prompt-based phrase generation, and the ability to make spontaneous decisions mid-performance, the dancers are empowered to influence the finished product and interact with the audience.
By giving both dancers and audience members the ability to affect the finished work, she hope to establish an enthusiastic, confident give and take relationship out of what is classically a passive exchange of art and ideas.
