    On 'Traces' and Collaboration Across Borders and Practices with Joan Shin and Brigitte Podrasky

    We take a deep dive with Joan Shin and Brigitte Podrasky into their work ‘Traces’, performed at arts and music festival Soft Centre. Glimpsing at ghostly gestural markings, fragmented rhythms and scrambled visuals, ‘Traces’ is a live audiovisual performance showcasing the multidisciplinary offerings of DBR, Cypha, Brigitte Podrasky and Joan Shin. Situated as a collaborative project across three remote cities, ‘Traces’ takes inspiration from memory and disorderly exchanges between each artist’s temporal context. Brigitte and Joan talk about their process working across three cities and as four artists with different practices and reflect on the experience of live performance as visual artists. Plus, the value in finding good collaborative dynamic.
