View Kayla Schiltgen’s new screendance, object permanence, on Vimeo now through December 19. For those who caught object permanence at Choreographers’ Evening, this screening is of the entire work; 15 minutes in length.
object permanence is an act of curiosity pursuing my enduring wonder about visibility or lack thereof in a time of perpetual display. Object permanence is a concept studied in developmental psychology, it refers to the understanding that people, places, and things continue to exist even when they can no longer be sensed. I stumbled across this idea during my research, it captured my attention, and has since been revealing what it wants discovered through the creative journey of building this screendance.
