Triptych, inspired by goth-like fantasy figures, consists of three solos and a trio woven together within an industrial, metallic world created by video projections. A triple, live-feed video design, which is maneuvered by the dancers and coordinated with a pre-edited video source, results in multiple dimensions of live performance in real-time.

Sarah Harkness-Sebastian, Assistant Professor of Dance at Santa Fe College in Gainsville, FL, worked with Glenn during a two-day intensive to develop a choreographic draft of movement material for the third solo in Triptych. This movement research process, much like the creative processes of the other solos and trio, involved the simultaneous evolution of projection design ideas in coordination with the moving figure. The integration of dance and technology elements within each section are explored with a goal of creating an integrated “total theater” experience.

Triptych was inspired by the digital imagery of Oklahoma artist Nene Thomas and created for the Dance Gallery Festival in Huntsville, TX.
