About
Self-guided viewing experience. WCD's Dance Projection features Jolene Bailie in her self-created solo, Hybrid Human.
Hybrid Human is a poetic piece that tells its’ story through presence and clarity. The video features a lone dancer communicating through distilled gestures and movement.
In 2010, Bailie choreographed Hybrid Human in conjunction with artist Wanda Koop for Koop’s retrospective On the Edge of Experience at the Winnipeg Art Gallery and at the National Gallery of Canada (2011), since then the dance work has been performed in many scenarios across Canada and beyond. The video for Nuit Blanche is created from footage of Bailie's performance at Today Art Museum in Beijing, China.
