Complex, layered, and visually striking, Troika Ranch creates hybrid works that combine dance, theater, and digital media into a unified whole. Lush imagery vibrates against funnel clouds of physicality as they portray the delicate balance between the organic and the electronic. Recognized world wide as leaders in the exploration of dance and new technology, they have been dubbed "interactive performance pioneers" by The New York Times and "multimedia mavericks" by The Village Voice.
“Multimedia mavericks Troika Ranch have created an oxymoron: warm, glowy conceptual art. The movement of the dancers, who are wired to a computer, releases both music (insect swarms, quasi- Gregorian chants, a splatter of rain) and a beautiful idea-that whole cities of sound are immanent in the air, and human motion makes them visible."
The Village Voice
"...like a mixture of Pina Bausch and Lara Croft- traditional dance theatre combined with refined computer graphics."
