Description What would happen if you made a contemporary dance work where all of the choreographic material was generated from YouTube? Sam Haren’s new project Watch will treat all YouTube material as equal citizens – from 1980s Italian variety show dance phrases to cats jumping in boxes. Watch examines the complexities of how we experience media today – where what we watch (and how we see the world) is a strange collision of the things we choose to share – from the funny, bizarre, as seemingly meaningless, with the deeply personal, political and violate.
