Relative Space
a site-specific installation at Hyde Park Theatre
Directed and Choreographed by Lisa del Rosario
Original Score by Travis Cooper

Featuring Jude Hickey, Heather Huggins, Kirk German, Michelle Brandt, Scott Roskilly, Stephanie Denson, and Lisa del Rosario

Opening Sunday, December 7th at 5 pm at HPT!

The stories within Relative Space are inspired by the unique interior architecture of Hyde Park Theatre. Relative Space will challenge your preconceptions of time, space, and human interaction through exploring the creativity by which we relate. Using pedestrian, rhythmic, and acrobatic vignettes, the Collective will slowly transform the space into a sculpted world.

As part of the Collective's commitment to incubate new work by Austin's finest talents, DA! is showcasing the inspirational and visionary work of Ms. del Rosario. Lisa has danced and choreographed throughout the world, from New York and Mexico to a residency in the Philippines with The Philippine National Folk Dance Company, Bayanihan. Luckily for us, Lisa has made Austin her home.

To use Ms. Del Rosario's own words about what Relative Space explores, "It is in the human condition to relate to people, to objects, and to spaces; by watching novel and profound ways in performance, the goal is for the audience to explore the creativity by which we relate. The journey the audience will take is a change of perspective in their relationship to something as ordinary as a door, a curtain, a wall, a room, or a person, to take them to a beautiful, uplifting, magical place where archetypal conditions exist-- all created by moving bodies and spirits."

Relative Space has a running time of one hour, and will run off-nights at Hyde Park Theatre, 511 W 43rd Street, Austin, TX, 78751 from Sun., Dec. 7th, to Wed., Dec. 17th. Sunday performances begin at 5 pm. Mon, Tue, and Wed at 8 pm.
