"At the Table: Humanity at the Dawn of AI" Join SYREN for an intimate performance of "At the Table" followed by a conversation and refreshments with the creative team. ONE NIGHT ONLY! Limited Seating The performance will be at Alpha Omega Theatrical Dance Studio located at 70 East 4th Street. Upon buzzing in, enter the door to your left to take the stairs down one flight or use the elevator. In a world where artificial intelligence is a constant presence, some instincts can lead us to pull away. “At the Table” is a dance that offers a question: What if we stopped being defensive and simply pulled up a chair? In this piece, the five company members of SYREN Modern Dance perform nine distinct sections choreographed by Kate Sutter set to an original score composed by Lauren Cregor. These nine sections explore the complexity of distinct AI related concepts like machine learning, the range of emotions of living in the AI era, the hope derived from technological discoveries and our relationship with entertainment and media. With tender curiosity, "At the Table" offers an invitation to view this technological evolution as a shared endeavor, holding the potential to deepen our understanding of what it means to be human. By ensuring everyone actively claims a seat at the table, we collectively gain the ability to shape the narrative of our future.
