Nile Harris is a performer and director of live works of art. He has done a few things and hopes to do a few more, God willing. Through the Abrons Performance AIRspace Residency, Nile will develop a performance project entitled this house is not a home, an improvised happening that takes place inside of and around a sound-responsive inflatable bounce castle. Using a network of microphones, the work utilizes sonic feedback as a malleable material, mixing the live recorded voices of the performers to create a unique musical composition that cannot be repeated.

Christopher “Unpezverde” Núñez is a visually impaired choreographer, exploring the creation, translation and meaning of dance, despite and beyond its visual content. He makes dances connecting the corporeal, emotional, and creative narratives of disabled bodies across live performance, film, and soundscape. He reclaims audio description, a traditional access tool for visually impaired audiences, and reinterprets it to create acoustic dance compositions through speech sounds, phonemes and words to narrate the external and internal state of the dancers, generating a multidimensional experience.
