Description

• Go behind the scenes as an award-winning international dance company struggles to create its next great work. Troika Ranch, a dance-theater-media performance company based out of New York City and Berlin, Germany comes to Lincoln, Nebraska to create a new piece called loopdiver.
  
  What begins as an experiment involving the loops and repetitions created by today's computerized modern world evolves into a complex exploration into the repetitive patterns in which ordinary people find themselves trapped. Over the course of two years, company members struggle with their own inner turmoil as they try to cope with the extreme physical and emotional demands of creating this unique new work. Real-life inspiration comes when company members visit a rehabilitation hospital and witness the repetitive motions patients perform in an effort to regain mobility. Watch as the same motion-sensing technology used to create the dance work is used by the patients to control music and video as part of their own rehabilitation.
