An ingenious trompe l’œuil fusion of physical and video-image bodies…merged and then disappeared with magical and fascinating suddenness” - New York Times
With a nod to classical icons of cinema, choreographer/performers Art Bridgman and Myrna Packer blend live camera, hand-drawn animation, and prerecorded urban settings to create multilayered perspectives and surreal mindscapes amid a highly sensual alchemy of the live and the virtual.

“But Blocks of Continuality feels not only like a retread but several retreads run together–the geeky computerized command base set-up; the almost ritualistic “calibration” of equipment and NASA-like checking in and launching; the live movement determining what the techno-toys do, and vice versa.” - Eva Yaa Asantewaa, Infinite Body Blog READ MORE
“Once we enter the land of virtual bodies, I can feel both my desire to understand the interactive system’s rules and my engagement with the work as a performance wane substantially. I start thinking about Philip Auslander’s arguments about “Liveness.” What is the value of live performance in a world ...
Thom Donovan on Kathy Westwater’s PARK
March 5, 2010 · Posted by Dance Theater Workshop ·
“Seeing PARK (still in progress) at Dance Theater Workshop’s 3rd floor studio on February 18, I was acutely aware from the start that I was witnessing bodies deforming themselves through movement techniques. These deformations occurred during Abby Block’s parts, whereby she would thrust and gyrate her pelvis violently with her back towards the audience. …” READ MORE

Gia Kourlas on Blocks of Continuality/Body, Image, Algorithm
March 4, 2010 · Posted by Dance Theater Workshop ·
“Koosil-ja is most interested in how the approach, which she first experienced while working with the Wooster Group, removes as many references from the body as possible. From the outside the method desexualizes the body. In the final meditative solo Ms. Guerrero begins to mumble directions to herself like, “Leg to the front and side.” Eventually her body grows still, though there remains imperceptible movement. It’s as if beneath the surface of her skin, her muscles and tendons refuse to stop dancing.” - Gia Kourlas, New York Times

“…Koosil-ja and her company, danceKUMIKO, present the New York premiere of BLOCKS OF CONTINUALITY / BODY, IMAGE, AND ALGORITHM, her latest examination of movement and the human body utilizing live processing, interactive computer programming, and 3D imaging, influenced by the conceptual theories of French philosopher and self-described “pure metaphysician” Gilles Deleuze. While that might sound like a lot to take in at one time, it has the potential to be one helluva mind-blowing experience. ” - Mark Rifkin

“What happens when you remove hip-hop culture from hip-hop dance? Bruno Beltrão’s Grupo de Rua (Portuguese for “Street Group”) does PoMo hip-hop; hip-hop steps, but interspersed with stillness and without music. It forces you to look at the form anew, and transformed.” - Leigh Witchel, Dance View Times
