In this series of short experimental films, a digital camera dances with its partner, Maya, as they move through various environments. It captures and translates the experience through its lens and portrays to you a virtual version of this duet performance, spliced and glued back together by Maya.
Maya Kristianna (she/her), from Kentucky, is an emerging, movement-based performer, choreographer, collaborator, and video artist with a BFA and TEFL Certification from Ohio University. Interdisciplinary collaboration and improvisation are key components of her creative processes. Her movement and creative practices are generated by her time with artists such as David Dorfman, Jasmine Hearn, Kendra Portier, Ani Javian, Gladys Bailin, David Colagiovanni, Natasha Maidoff, Nita Little, and Mohammadreza Akrami. She's created dances-for-camera since 2017, finding freedom from reality and materiality in the digital world of performance. She enjoys exploring the body’s relationship to and the definition of the “site” and “audience” in her works by engaging with multidisciplinary mediums, nontraditional performance settings, and experimental techniques.
