DIRECT CURRENT presents a music and dance double-bill crowned by the East Coast premiere of 1 0 0 1, performed live by its creators: choreographer and Company Wayne McGregor member Fukiko Takase, “a diabolo of a dancer” (Evening Standard, UK) best-known for her viral video collaboration with Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, and composer Dustin O’Halloran, whose original scores for Marie Antoinette, Lion, and Transparent have been recognized with Oscar® and Golden Globe nominations and an Emmy Award.

Produced, as at its premiere in Minneapolis, by Kate Nordstrum, a “curatorial powerhouse with international pull” (Minnesota Public Radio), 1 0 0 1 explores ideas of technology, humanity, and mind-body dualism in an existential, electronics-forward performance. As we approach the age of AI, the collaborators ask: how will a new form of consciousness manifest inside a body? What will happen to our soul? 

1 0 0 1 shares the program with Variations, an in-depth look at the “theme and variations” structure by Dance Metro DC Award-winning choreographer Erica Rebollar, founder of the RebollarDance collective, to original music by Golden Reel Award-winner Charlie Campagna.
