EXPANSIVENESS: CHANGING PERSPECTIVE EXPLORES SOCIAL AND SPATIAL DIVISIONS THROUGH MOVEMENT, MEDIA, AND INTERACTIVE SCENOGRAPHY. ROTATING PANELS WITH LIVE-FEED PROJECTIONS AND MIRRORED SURFACES TRANSFORM THE PERFORMANCE SPACE, SHIFTING HOW PERFORMERS AND AUDIENCES PERCEIVE THEIR SURROUNDINGS AND EACH OTHER.

IN 2020, CMLA AND MASHUP REENVISIONED THE INSTALLATION AS EXPANSIVENESS: CHANGING PERSPECTIVE 2.0, A LIVE-STREAMED PERFORMANCE CONNECTING REMOTE AUDIENCES DURING THE PANDEMIC. CAMERA MOVEMENT WAS CHOREOGRAPHED ALONGSIDE THE DANCERS, EXTENDING THE ORIGINAL EXPLORATION OF SPATIAL CONNECTION INTO A SHARED DIGITAL AND PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE.
