About Third Generation
The Idea
How do we document our experience of a dance or performance event? We rely on journalists, photographers, dance historians, verbal accounts, and video archives to convey the impact of a performance on time, space, and culture; but our experiences teach us that performance impacts each of us in different ways. The Third Generation Festival embraces the diversity of individual experience, perception, and cultural relevance by investigating the ways in which we receive and transmit cultural information through experience, documentation, and reinterpretation.
The Festival
Third Generation Festival asks viewers to consider a memory of an influential performance event. What were the significant moments? What was the important information and how was it conveyed? From this memory, viewers create unique "second generation" documents. These documents or "scores" may take the form of a written account, visual collage, podcast, webcam, or audio recording. The documents will ultimately serve as scores for original, Third Generation work produced at the Festival. Both the originally observed work, and the documenting viewer will be credited along with the performing artist. Scores will be on display as a gallery installation throughout the Festival.
The Space
The Tank is a non-profit arts presenter whose mission is to provide a welcoming, creative, collaborative, and affordable environment for artists and activists engaged in the pursuit of new ideas. Through a wide range of low-cost, high-concept arts and public affairs programming, The Tank seeks to cultivate a new generation of audience for live performance, civic discourse, and the work of emerging artists.
