OZ Arts Nashville

PRISM

A performance installation experience for a socially-distanced audience

Conceived and choreographed by David Flores
with an original score by George Miller

March 12-28, 2021

Tickets $15-$18
Run Time: Approximately 35 Minutes

OZ Arts’ expansive warehouse is transformed for this performance installation experience created for a physically distanced world. Small audience groups journey through a visual environment featuring striking installations with rich lighting and sound design to explore aspects of voyeurism, our changing relationship to physical intimacy, and the role of chance in determining ultimate outcomes.

A series of provocative movement episodes unfolds in a 35-minute experience, featuring different combinations of dancers chosen at random.  With choreography by Nashville-based artist David Flores and an original score by George Miller, PRISM invites audiences to examine personally held societal expectations and the ways we interact with one another at a time when relationships both private and public have been redefined.

Audiences are standing or moving throughout this event, but seating is available by request.
