Craig Harris- SenseAbility

SenseAbility explores how our personal experiences and cultural narratives help us navigate our ongoing struggle to make the world a better place. The show is about individual and community responsibility and accountability.

Inspired yet haunted by the voice of Elijah, I invite the Prophet into our time, imagining him on a shared journey of transformation. I weave music and visual textures with memories of Bethlehem and new family connections in the West Bank, probing issues related to Continuous Traumatic Stress Disorder, a multi-generational stress condition experienced by millions of people living under sustained occupation in the Palestinian territories.

In SenseAbility an immersive sensory landscape surrounds the audience with the sounds, sights, smells, tastes even the touch and feeling revealed in the visceral experience that is inescapable in a life under sustained occupation, utilizing a multi-channel sound system, multiple video projectors, music performance and live acting/story telling. The performance space can be configured to suit the situation, but needs sufficient space to move, see projections (approx. 20 x 16 performance space plus audience).
