Co-created by choreographer/director Adrienne Westwood and composer Ang&eacute;lica Negr&oacute;n, [ ] is an intimate, image-rich work combining dance, music, live camera work, and projection within an interactive sonic sculpture.

Developed over five years, [ ] takes its title from the absence of femme labor in dominant historical narratives, announced through the body, by framing one&rsquo;s head with deeply curved arms, or by speaking the phrase &ldquo;the empty space between brackets.&rdquo; The creation and development of [ ] was supported, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC);New York State Council on the Arts Support for Artists; the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation; The Howard Gilman Foundation; a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant;the Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center through the Artist-In-Residence Program; and The Charles and Joan Gross Family Foundation who provided commissioning funds for the musical score by Ang&eacute;lica Negr&oacute;n.
