For Marchland, Chicago-based choreographer Carrie Hanson collaborates with visual artist Fraser Taylor to create a new ensemble work about contested territories and borders. Hanson, the artistic director of The Seldoms, was inspired by Taylor's video, CREVICE, an experimental film that he created by making minute drawings directly onto the surface of clear 16mm film. Marchland combines projected video images, a sculptural stage set, and costumes by Chicago fashion designer Lara Miller, with strong ensemble dancing.
