"Fret/Hold" explores motion capture, sound, projection, and live performance to reveal similar functions between rock climbing holds and string instruments. The work features a sculpture installation that is simultaneously a projection surface, virtual rock wall, and instrument. Choreography uses live motion capture to animate a skeleton of 3D rock holds that are projected on both the sculpture and performers. "Fret/Hold" reveals multiple layers of polyphonic, tactile, and digital duets to unpack themes of verticality and machine collaboration.

"In vibrant dormancy, we intersect creative forms with the study of the natural world, exploring the mysteries of seed dormancy and germination through movement, sound, and writing. We invite others to gaze into the mystery of this process, using the motion of our bodies to tell a story that intertwines the queer erotics of human connection with rematriation over the course of nine variations. Our movements respond to writings and sounds from artists and scientists who seek a profound and restorative relationship to land."

JULIMAR collective is Juliet Remmers, Mariana Tejada, and Liz Rodriguez Fielder, three Iowa City-based artists working between performance and other media. Our collaboration emerges from our embodied research conducted at sites of land restoration across Iowa and cultivates deep listening within a movement practice.
