Bridgman | Packer Dance
Part of a CreativesMX Marathon
Truck is designed to be performed inside a 17-foot U-Haul truck, bringing performance to nontraditional and unexpected locations.
Through Bridgman|Packer’s signature integration of live performance and video technology, an ordinary box truck evolves from the utilitarian into a reimagined space, a micro-world of visions and transformation. Exploring how context changes perception, the work ranges from evocative to humorous, to sensuous, to wacky.
With the audience looking into the bed of the truck, the work can be performed in parking lots, parks, loading docks, field houses, plazas or street corners. Truck can be presented in conjunction with stage presentations or as a separate event.
Truck can be performed outdoors after dark in parking lots, parks, college campuses, and street corners or at any hour in indoor parking garages or large indoor spaces.
Parts of Truck were created through a Fellowship with Experimental Film Virginia 2014. Truck has received a New England Foundation for the Arts Expeditions Grant to tour the work to seven sites in New England in 2015-16.
