Operator in Documenta Journal for Theater
We are proud to share that Operator’s Ania Catherine is a contributor to the latest issue of Documenta Journal for Theater Issue 42, published by Ghent University. Her article, Choreographing Surveillance, Collecting Obfuscated Movement: On View and Human Unreadable by Operator is part of the special issue entitled "Dancing Machines" focused on performance and technology.
“The machine was not seen as something that interfered with the creation of movement, but something that could liberate it from the norms, habits, and patterns of the choreographer.”

“Technology certainly can be a barrier to embodiment, numbing us, mediating our interactions—I type this now crouched over a laptop with a horrible posture—however, it can also be an invitation.”

“The body is technology and technology is a performance.”
