Immanence: Privileged Instants in Space-Time

It seems like such a long time since I’ve had the chance to update my blog. I’ve been focusing my energies on creative and research projects which are finally coming to fruition.

My upcoming piece Immanence: Privileged Instants in Space-Time is in the rehearsal stage at the National Museum of Dance Swyer Studios. We’re working on the section that includes Te Tumu (the foundation). The 50 minute conceptual dance performance will premiere at the Saratoga ArtsFest on June 9th, 2012 at the National Museum of Dance. The music and sound design will be scored by the talented Mikaël Mulholland.

It’s a real delight to be working with a cast of dancers after a ten year hiatus from choreography and performance. I enjoy the camaraderie, energy, enthusiasm, and collaborative creative process.

Another wonderful collaborative project I am working on is the Master of Arts in Learning and Emerging Technologies, under the direction of the lovely Dr. Diane Gal. My developments include the core Advanced Design Seminar, and the elective Identities and Communities in Immersive Environments. My colleague Dr. Eileen O’Connor and I are creating a virtual world design showcase for the culminating first year presentations.

I have another few projects in the works, and will comment on them soon, promise!

About Nicola Marae Allain

I was born in England to a half-Tahitian mother, and am a dual citizen of the United States and France. I have called England, Tahiti, The Bahamas, Texas, California and Canada home, and now live in Saratoga Springs, NY. I live my life within a global, cross-cultural, multilingual perspective -- which makes things interesting. I have a wide range of professional and personal interests. I am most intrigued by the essential questions of life, perhaps best expressed by Paul Gauguin in his masterpiece D'où venons Nous? Que sommes nous? Où allons nous? ( Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?).
