About the Event
TRIANGULATION is an odyssey of a man and a woman and a mystery figure – the moving vector in space, the third point that the couple is trying to lock down. This complex exploration of gender is a journey from the bedroom through social space to the world.
We will be screening a video documentation by Jake Fuller of the 2001 performance with Debra Loewen, Wild Space Dance Company, Jon Erickson and Jill Sebastian of the 2001 production.

This work ... was intellectually stimulating and just plain weird fun, resulting in a collage of images whose form was rather abstract. In its second version, it has re-emerged with more narrative fullness, transforming roughly sketched figures into developed characters even as they maintain allegorical status. The addition of Wild Space Dance Company as chorus has added a great deal of resonance to the social/psychological aspects of the piece..." – Jon Erickson
"Every culture is a moral geometry, a contingent means of triangulating one's course through reality." – Weston La Barre
