RDDI In This Time Dilation from Toby MacNutt on Vimeo.
By Toby MacNutt, with Nicole Dagesse, and filming assistance from Hanna Satterlee. Filmed at Murmurations Studio.
For NEFA's RDDI: New England Now dance showcase, March 2022, as a curated guest artist.
"In This Time Dilation"
"Time Dilation" was made pre-pandemic for A Singular They about the way chronic pain distorts time and energy. At this time, two years in, participating in the showcase remotely, I wanted to combine its strained isolation with intimacy and longing, their timelines looping and weaving.
So much - my dance practice, life in general - has been like this and is still like this, time on the edge, time rocking on the floor, treasured moments of connection.

"Renovation of a Finite Apartment"
This little story is about choosing to live, after impossible loss and under intense scrutiny. It's also about interior decorating, and a good robot friend.
