Date: 2021-09-06

Following their four month residency Third Space Network (3SN) and Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company presented Black|White, an online dance/music performance workshop on Thursday, July 15th, 6pm EDT. The performance workshop showcased Los Angeles tenor and performance artist Charles Lane, along with dancer/choreographer Daniel Charon, artistic director of the Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company in Salt Lake City. The two artists, performed live from their home studios and were united live and online in the 3SN Deep Third Space Performance Lab. The work is a creation of 3SN Artistic Director Randall Packer in collaboration with Multimedia Designer Gregory Kuhn, Daniel Charon, and Charles Lane. 

Black|White is a response to the crises of pandemic isolation and racial polarization in the aftermath of COVID-19 and the murder of George Floyd. The work situates two men: one Black, one White, one a singer, the other a dancer, two individuals who must negotiate distant worlds, distant neighborhoods, distant lives, and different skin, a reconciliation through the language of image, music, rhythm, collage, and movement, co-mingled in the immaterial space of the Network.
