"Acts of Translation" is a performance by dancer Sarah Black (Denton, TX) and musician Russell Patterson (Fayetteville, AR) that utilizes motion tracking to invert the relationship between two mediums.

Through the use of motion tracking technology, dancer and musician are given the ability to co-compose in real time, speaking to and with one another across mediums to create a unique piece of music. Join us for a performance and live recording that explores attentiveness, deep listening, and the myriad ways that we learn to understand one another.

This project is part of The Medium’s InnerSpace program, which offers free space to test new creative or community-building ideas in a supportive environment. InnerSpace embodies The Medium’s commitment to making space accessible to all.
