<DIV><SPAN>Unauthorized is a collaboration between dance/theatre artist Kathryn Ricketts (as Rufus), composer Arne Eigenfeldt, and an ensemble of intelligent musical agents.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>In Unauthorized, we draw a parallel to the work of Samuel Beckett, which echoes the profound absurdity often found in clowning. In this rich collaboration, we explore new ways to approach narrative, character, setting, and props; Rufus – a tired clown that struggles to find humour in dissonance – becomes a catalyst for fractured narratives and new ways of making meaning through performance.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>In the telling, we trigger more stories, which fosters a sense of collective belonging by the nature of their commonalities and subsequent empathy.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>Musebots – intelligent musical agents designed by Arne Eigenfeldt – respond to Rufus’ voice and movement through realtime analysis, creating a synergistic play between sound, text, and video, adding a richness of the creative choices and subsequent provocations. Aware of each movement’s text, the musebots respond, provoke, and influence Rufus’ movement and speech choices, as well as determining certain structural choices in the work itself.</SPAN></DIV>
