SPOWAGE & DANAI PAPPA
Neal
Spowage is an artist and musician who builds instruments, which he refers to as
junk sculptures, that are designed to force gesture from the performer through
perceived and actual affordances of sound and physical presence. Danai Pappa is
a dancer whose studies in humanities intend to evoke emotional and
psychological states of mind through images, spatial relationships and
movement. As a choreographer her goal is to find inventive ways to demonstrate
shifting modes of representation and performer/spectator relationships.
