"McNamara samples and remixes music – from Hip Hop to Martha Graham, jazz and classical ballet," a press release said.
The modern ballet includes vibrant scenes with simultaneous dances. The intense movements are meant to show how we share and process information round-the-clock through our lap tops and smart phones.
McNamara was born in Phoenix and is based in Brooklyn. The ballet was a Performa Commission for the 2013 Performa Biennial in New York and was awarded the second Malcolm McLaren Award.
