PRO-JECT Presented by Black Irish and the Town of Cary

PRO-JECT SNEAK PEEK  PRO-JECT is an event combining both live and projected dancers to create a physical performance exploring both dream and reality on one stage. PRO-JECT is the first site-specific work of BLACK IRISH that was designed to use The Cary Theater in its traditional form; hence the use of projection. BLACK IRISH has developed 4 methods of projecting dancers in The Cary Theater, each utilized to specifically project a unique vision to the audience. Partnering with videographers Michelle Lotker and Clark Ivers, BLACK IRISH has innovated their most inventive show to date. PRO-JECT focuses equally on the physicality of dancing and the technical details of film such as scale, color, light and shadow. The performed scenarios in each of the 4 movements serve to juxtapose the duality of our innovative and fast-paced world with the immediate and natural rhythms of the human form. The fourth movement features a collaboration with the band, CITIZEN SHADE. A live vocal performance by lead singer, Will Howard, and the projected, but real talents of CITIZEN SHADE round out the show. What do you want to project?

Followed by a short Q&A for intrigued audience members. Will Call tickets may be picked up starting one hour prior to the performance.
