SPEC is a balletic exploration of movement and sound created through research surrounding the scientific study of perspective, spectatorship, and the spectacle of performance.
​
The work was first presented as an interactive installation in which the performance space was split into two. On one side: an unencumbered view of the ongoing dance performance. On the opposite side: an obscured and hindered view of the performance. Telephones connected both sides, providing any who obliged the opportunity to discuss what was sensed and seen in as much detail as possible.
​
Adapted for the stage for a theatrical viewing experience, SPEC continues to challenges viewers' perspectives.
