"TILT," a collaboration between video artist Ellen Sebring (S.M.VisS 1986) and Boston choreographer Paula Josa-Jones, combined large-screen video, live dancers and a gravity-disrupting mechanism called a "levitron," a sort of padded see-saw with handles at either end, to wonderful effect. Sebring and Josa-Jones held a "TILT" workshop during IAP, which culminated in a demonstration on Jan. 22 in Kresge Auditorium. Performers included Alissa Cardone and Ingrid Schatz, both members of Josa-Jones' dance company Performance Works, and members of MIT's Kinaesthetics Lab, a student choreography group. Cardone and Schatz performed on the Levitron. The MIT students provided the gravitational shifts. Photo / Donna Coveney
