Intimacy. Privacy. Vulnerability . Revelation. DiverseWorks is proud to present the U.S. premiere of Voyeur \, the latest performance and installation by Company Clare Dyson that exp lores notions of intimacy\, desire\, and the act of revealing and what it means to watch another person.\nIn this exciting new work\, audiences are not passive viewers\, they can choose where and how they view the performa nce. When they enter the theater\, the audience must choose a vantage poin t to experience the work: a seat on the side or front of the stage\; a cha ir with headphones or binoculars or standing position without either. No o ne viewing point is the same:\, every space reveals different aspects of t he performers\, their thoughts and the work as a whole. Each viewer will d etermine how they move in the space and what is most important to them whe n watching and experiencing the Voyeur. This work connects audience viscer ally to the performers and the intimate act of revealing.\nPerformances ar e Thursday-Saturday\, January 21-23\, 2010 at 8pm in the DiverseWorks Thea ter. TWO SHOWS ADDED: Friday and Saturday at 10pm.\nVoyeur is a new contem porary dance work that challenges how audiences watch performance and ques tions what is part of the work is important for each individual audience e xperience. What is central to this work are the expectations of the audien ce prior to coming into the space: they expect to see a contemporary dance work\, but what does that mean? It usually means they will be watching th e dances on stage while they are seated in a fixed position in the auditor ium. These expectations are heightened further when going to a theatre &md ash\; the stage is another world\, the idea of choice is not entertained\, the proscenium is an impenetrable wall between audience and performer.\nV oyeur inverts these expectations with the aim of creating an experiential event for the audience: it asks the audience on stage with the performers\ , gives them agency throughout the work\, allows them to vary their proxim ity to the dancers and creates limited spaces that unsettles and energize. \nABOUT COMPANY CLARE DYSON:\nClare Dyson / Artistic Director\nChoreograph er Clare Dyson has been working with brother and lighting designer Mark Dy son for over 10 years.
