e-Motion is an extended duet performed by Daniel Gwirtzman and DGDC Company dancer Sarah Hillmon. The primarily textual score will be augmented by previously unheard music composed by DGDC’s longtime musical collaborator, the late Jeff Story. So-Yeon Yoon, Cornell Associate Professor of human centered design, is creating data visualizations for the work, capturing the performers’ brainwaves and manipulating them to produce video imagery. The intermissionless, program-length dance will be presented onstage at The Cherry Artspace and online via livestream.

The narrative, accessible piece depicts a creator and a product. Which is which? Referencing  Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, this researcher is a neuroscientist, and the narrative follows the big launch of her AI “creature” for scholarly and public consumption. What could go wrong? ChatGPT has been used in the initial stages of script creation, with responses generated through a series of questions that will be utilized in an interactive component with the audience.
