​I Love You So Much, SQUEEZE ME TO DEATH

Picture
Conceived and choreographed by Koryn Ann Wicks, I love you so much, SQUEEZE ME TO DEATH is an immersive dance performance with interactive video and sound installations, exploring the ways we lose ourselves loving others. Chart your own path through an ever changing landscape. Engage with live performers. Effect sound and projection in real time.
Audiences will collaborate with dancers and actors in an explorable performance space. They will play the roll of the object of affection as our cast surrenders to the desire for external validation.  What happens when we surrender our sense of worth to external forms of validation? Help us pull back the veil of self-sufficiency and explore naked, desperate desire.
Audiences  will experience contemporary choreography up-close; move with the dancers; and become participants in the piece. Intermedia artists Koryn Ann Wicks, Morgan Embry and Alex Lough have programmed and built unique, one of a kind media systems for this performance. The audience will share in the creation of video and audio accompaniments in real time. A truly immersive experience that invites audiences to explore what it is to submit to co-dependence. 
The show includes a pop-up shop where patrons can bid on set pieces via silent auction. Pieces include include handcrafted furniture by set and furniture designer Zachary Titus.
