Rammed Earth is a 60-minute piece designed for a limited audience of 50 people per performance. It explores architecture as a fundamental, subliminal force in the choreographic form as well as in human experience. O’Connor’s interest in “sentient architecture” in which structures change form in response to temperature, climate or human activity, is a catalyst for this work .Audience members are incorporated into the expanding, contracting, liquid space of the work, as they are escorted into different viewing positions throughout the performance.

January 18, 2009; 7pm to 8pm. ] This evening length performance, directed by Leslie Seiters, is a collaboration between dancers of San Diego’s Little Known Dance Theater and Tijuana based Lux Boreal. Incidental Fear of Numbers considers the exchange between audience and performer, precision and abandon, function and futility, density and spaciousness with movement, sound, time, light and the body’s relation to the materials that surround and compose us.
