Kristen Rhea van Liew's interests in use of space as well as post-modern dance and performance
have been combined as a component of the "Humble House". Two members of her newly formed dance
company, PED, will be performing in a compulsively-coated room of cotton balls. This insulated
environment provides the ideal space for the dancers who will be rendered deaf and blind to the
activity around them as they explore themes that are relative to the exhibition through a
technique known as Authentic Movement. This novel performance environment requires the viewers
to perform similarly as they move from entrance to exit, blind to the context of the dancer's
subjective experiences of the space.
