MEGASTRUCTURE is a duet in collaboration with Sarah Baltzinger that draws with curiosity the trajectory of two bodies in constant cohabitation. A piece themed around intimacy whose dance material forms strange and perilous associations. This duet is like a puzzle whose pieces are constantly being dismantled, searched for, tested and reinvented. MEGASTRUCTURE is a choreographic piece without sound composition, without decor, whose natural musicality is generated by the bodies on stage in a percussive energy.
“score” is a piece about human's intervention with nature and how technologies interfere with the natural process of life. This piece for 3 performers uses EMS (Electric Muscle Stimulation) to send out electric impulses to the muscles of the performers which makes them move involuntarily. This enables Isaiah to create a dance that can be choreographed through computantional code. It explores the relationship between the human body and technology - where technologies have been developed to simplify our lives, it has also disconnected humans from their free will and cognitive capacities. The piece aims to ask ethical questions about the usages of technologies, those that outperform and compete against the human body, challenging it’s relevance in a sociopolitical and anthropological context.
With the solo 331 grams, Isaiah is challenging the limits of his own body. He uses a Stethoscope attached to a Lavalier Microphone to enhance his own heartbeat through the speakers of the theater. Therefore his organ becomes the musical score of the piece. This creates an urgency: The faster Isaiah dances, the faster his heart beats, and the faster his heart beats, the faster he has to move - creating a natural crescendo. Isaiah is put in a vulnerable state, one in which he cannot hide and where he is constantly challenged. This “mise à nu” is used to provoke a sense of urgency to comment on the fleeting race against time, as a reaction to the speed in which the world moves today. Juxtaposing the exponential growth of technology with the accelerating heartbeat of the performer.
Through a parallel universe that oscillates between a dreamworld and the real, Isaiah Wilson evolves in a living room fully submerged under water. A choreographic work for video that questions the human condition in its most visceral and powerful aspects. By performing in apnea, Isaiah pushes his body to the limit to create a dance that edges on the impossible. Submerge is a poetic autobiographic piece that shows Isaiah's state of mind in moments of solitude, vulnerability and change in a setting that borrows artifacts that echo his childhood home.
