Artist: Attack Theatre

Movement, music and technology come together in this performance to explore the concept of friendship and the effects of technology. R.A.M. is a contemporary dance work that tells a story of Ram and his network of friends (Url, Surge, Giga, and Flash) who help him reformat the scrambled bits and bytes of his past. Students will identify the connection of movement language with music, props and video and how each of these elements helps convey feelings and ideas in the dance. Originally co-commissioned by Gateway to the Arts and the Three Rivers Arts Festival.

Under the artistic direction of Peter Kope and Michele de la Reza, Attack Theatre has been making personal, accessible and collaborative dance-based performances for more than fifteen years that create a physically dynamic environment appropriate for audiences of all ages. They combine modern dance, original live music, multimedia and interdisciplinary art forms to present work in traditional and nontraditional spaces both nationally and internationally.
