SUMMARY:Connection Dance Works: Still Buffering
DESCRIPTION:Connection Dance Works presents a new multidisciplinary work titled Still Buffering. The inspiration for Still Buffering came from the fascination of how current technologies condition and inform human relationships. The story follows a power struggle between humans and a technology that connects but also over-insulates the characters from a deeper intimacy.​This activity is supported by the New Brunswick Arts Board and the Canada Council for the Arts. Thank you to the Imperial Theatre Incubator Program and Theatre New Brunswick.
