In Slip, dance and sound interconnect in a duet between dancer Rebecca Jensen and musician Aviva Endean.
Central to Slip is Foley art, a sound-effect technique used in film, where sounds on screen are recreated in post-production using unlikely objects and body movements in a practice of substitution.
Slip connects the illusion of Foley to the complexity of our present moment. Layers of data mediate our daily experiences, and invisible processes stretch the spaces between what we consume, and what goes on behind the scenes. Pairings are pulled apart and abstracted, entanglements are simplified, severed, and rewired to the point of absurdity.
Slip urges us to refocus our attention, as we unwittingly fall out of sync.
