Missed Calls. Missed Connections.
SUBMISSION BY SAPIRA CHEUK \\ 9.9.2020
Pas De Deux, in the Time of Quarantine is a project, where dancers quarantined in Santiago, Chile; Los Angeles, California; Berlin Germany; Sofia, Bulgaria; Buseyi, Iganga, Uganda; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and many other locations around the world submitted videos dancing wherever they are quarantined.
The missed connections sentiment of 'I am here, you are there' where dancers can not preform together are remedied.
The dance videos were then paired and the stills transformed into these paintings; as if the dancers were occupying the same space, dancing, and connecting, together.

I have always thought it strange that white noise is often referred to as "static," because the nature of white noise is anything but.
Performance Instructions:
Use a radio device of your choice. Tune into any station, preferably that one with much white noise, however any channel will do. Carry the radio with on a walk of any duration. or distance.
