<fidget> About <fidget> - Video <fidget> is a platform for the collaborative work of Megan Bridge (choreography) and Peter Price (time-based media). <fidget>’s dances are dark worlds populated by post-human, biological, machinic entities--bodies, video, sound. Bridge and Price create awkward dystopias, referential and even appropriationist, grounded in the discourses of contemporary art, culture, and theory (we like experiments). Focusing on the materiality of movement, sound, and environment, <fidget>’s work can be seen as a sort of metaphysical spelunking: churning up bits of evidence with which to construct a biological commentary on the effects of our machinic and increasingly compartmentalized existence. At home in Philadelphia <fidget> performs in theaters, galleries, warehouses, and nightclubs. On tour, <fidget>’s work has been seen in places like New York, Berlin, Dresden, Johannesburg, and Vienna. <fidget> has created new work in residencies at West Chester University and Arizona State University, with dance companies Group Motion (Philadelphia) and Walking Gusto Productions (Johannesburg) as well as at the LABfactory in Vienna. Because <fidget>'s work is conceptually driven, each project can be realized in a variety of formats: from fixed works for the theater to site-specific installations, improvisational structures, lecture / demonstrations, and informal gallery and studio presentations. Each work exists as a portfolio of several possible realizations. Creating live performance works together since 2000, Bridge and Price are also co-directors of thefidget space. |
