Erica Mott Productions to Bring THE VICTORY PROJECT to Roulette's Composer/Choreographer Series, 3/22

Erica Mott Productions brings The Victory Project, an interdisciplinary dance, sound and video performance, to the Roulette Composer/Choreographer Series on March 22, 2013 at 8pm.

The Victory Project is an interactive duet installation between composer/electronic musician, Ryan Ingebritsen (http://wcawm.com) and performance/dance artist, Erica Mott (www.ericamott.com). Victory Project presents a series of trans-disciplinary performances that incorporate interactive image, sound, text, movement and sculptural objects to dismantle allegories that confuse and conflate patriotism and perversity. Beginning with the inquiry into whether or not the concept of 'victory' is a gendered notion, the performances examine the female body as tool, symbol, bounty, and weapon during and post conflict.

The Victory Project takes place Friday, March 22nd at 8pm at Roulette, 509 Atlantic Ave, Brooklyn, NYC (on the corner of Atlantic & 3rd Aves). Tickets are $15/$10 Students/Seniors/Members. For more information visit www.roulette.org.

Structurally, the performance cultivates interdependency between movement and sound, allowing the body to become musical instrument both dictating musical composition and moving in ways to serve the sonic score. The touring version of the Victory Project features choreography, object design and performance by Mott, sound composition and performance by Ingebritsen, interactive video design by John Boesche, light design by Todd Clark, and dramaturgy by Ginger Farley.

Erica Mott is a performance/dance artist engaged and enlivened by the conversation between movement, sound, video and object.
