The creation of "At the Table" was made possible thanks to the support of SYREN's individual donors, Museum of Science-Boston, NXTHVN, a commissioning grant from the O'Donnell-Green Music and Dance Foundation, as well as with the collaboration of former SYREN Company Member Victoria Ellis.
In a world where artificial intelligence is a constant presence, some instincts can lead us to pull away.
“At the Table” is a dance that offers a question:
What if we stopped being defensive and simply pulled up a chair?
In this piece, the five company members of SYREN Modern Dance perform nine distinct sections choreographed by Kate Sutter set to an original score composed by Lauren Cregor.
These nine sections explore the complexity of distinct AI related concepts like machine learning, the range of emotions of living in the AI era, the hope derived from technological discoveries and our relationship with entertainment and media.
With tender curiosity, "At the Table" offers an invitation to view this technological evolution as a shared endeavor, holding the potential to deepen our understanding of what it means to be human. By ensuring everyone actively claims a seat at the table, we collectively gain the ability to shape the narrative of our future.
