Coincidences at Dumke Arts Plaza

Utilizing the poetics of visual imagery, sound, and choreographed movement, the work of jo Blake and Cam McLeod mines the depths of the human experience, and reminds us of our individual and collective resilience.

Coincidences is an interdisciplinary multimedia project and contemporary movement experience exploring shared isolation, concepts of sensory stimulation and informed trauma that impacts the human experience. Plunging, swirling, and diving amongst the complications of today’s social issues, this exhibition invites the ever-changing, coordinated, and repeated murmurs of individual growth and change. 

Live performances on Oct. 6 and Nov. 3, 2023 featured original choreography by jo Blake, original music by Trevor Price and Eileen Rojas, videography by Dylan Totaro, lighting design by William Peterson and Samijo Kougioulis, and dance performed by jo Blake, Jessica Evans, Dominic Favela, Kennedy Johnston, Cydnee Medina, Genevieve Nolan, Madisyn Sorensen and Eli Thornley.
