Into the WIRE – UNO Fest Encore

An UNO Fest Online encore presentation from Broken Rhythms. Thanks for joining us at UNO Fest Online, it was a wild ride and we wanted to share one more solo show from a local artist, created in isolation. When the original production of Into the WIRE was cancelled, choreographer Dyana Sonik-Henderson adapted the show which was made for a cast of dancers, into a solo piece created and performed by herself. Enjoy!

This show will be available to view on demand on our website until Friday, May 15 at midnight.

This online version was created in social isolation with Dyana Sonik-Henderson (Choreographer/Artistic Director of Broken Rhythms) dancing to all original music by Dan Godlovitch of okpk with lighting design by Emma Dickerson and film production by Matthew Graham.

When it is down to the wire what choices will we make…

Into the WIRE (online) is a retelling of Broken Rhythms full show Into the WIRE whose rehearsals and subsequent shows were postponed then canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The original production was designed as a post -apocalyptic dance show that dealt with themes of survival, social isolation, social cohesion, technology, betrayal, and impact of environmental deterioration. These themes have become even more relevant as the weeks pass and Into the WIRE (online) will continue to explore these ideas as it transitions to a new artistic medium.

Broken Rhythms would like to acknowledge and thank the the cast of artists and dancers who helped create the movement vocabulary that has inspired this online work. Carlene Forbes (developer and performer), Heidi Fox Lange (developer and performer), Allison Rhodes (developer and performer), Christina Plaschka (performer), Alexa Ste Marie (performer), Caleigh Hunter (developer) and Sara Peddle (developer). Dan Godlovich of okpk who was going to perform his music live during the show run, Emma Dickerson who is helping the production with lighting remotely and Lindsie Nicholas, who is the BR Dramaturge. Into the WIRE was supported by the CRD Arts Development Service.
