The R/nR is a room-sized musical instrument and multi-channel sound system designed for live interactive movement and sound performance, played by a combination of active and passive input from dancers, musicians and audience members. The R/nR will be set in a black box theater roughly 25′ x 30′ enclosure built of clear Plexiglas, with “in the round” seating on all sides. Created in collaboration with choreographer Daria Fain, poet/builder Robert Kocik, lighting designer Kryssy Wright and a cast of 5 dancers and 2 musicians, the R/nR will premiere in December 2008 as the performance setting for an evening-length dance work choreographed by Fain, called “The Extent to Which”.
