The Body as Sensing Technology: Creating NOLI TIMERE

Join choreographer and director Rebecca Lazier as she traces the six-year research process behind the creation of NOLI TIMERE – from early tensile structure experiments at the University of Washington and Princeton University to the NODES initiative, where full-scale physical testing produced unexpected findings about how flexible net systems stiffen, distribute force, and achieve collective stability under dynamic human loads – to how those discoveries shaped an iterative dialogue between Echelman's evolving sculpture design, Lazier's choreographic language of instability and interdependence, Jorane's original score and the riggers' real-time manipulation of the nets, a process in which each discipline continuously transformed the others.
