Bothered was physical research to understand how the mind affects the physical body. Clark was inspired by how our experiences of the external world cause changes in our mental states and ultimately cause us to feel unpleasant sensations that affect our physical bodies. Moved by what might be happening on a neurological level when stomaching a stressful event, mace used emotional stimuli to provoke the intricate workings of this mind-body problem. The dancers move as if they are firing neurons catapulting from one synapse to another, working frantically to make sense of a distressing situation.
Dancers: Maurice Dawkins, Malia Jones, and Vani Ramaraj
