Description:

What does it mean to be human in an era shaped by artificial intelligence? With curiosity and compassion, SYREN Modern Dance invites audiences to consider that question in At the Table, a bold new work that blends dance, science, sound, and storytelling.

Choreographed by Kate Sutter with an original score by Lauren Cregor, this evening-length piece unfolds across nine distinct sections—each exploring a facet of our evolving relationship with AI. From machine learning and media saturation to hope, fear, and the emotional terrain of our technological age, the dancers delve into the complexity of how we live, connect, and imagine the future.

Performed by SYREN’s dynamic company members—Alice Chacon, Rivkins Christopher, Jessica Nolan, Lynn Peterson, Roxanne Potes, with Jules Assue as swing—At the Table invites us not to retreat from change, but to pull up a chair and participate. The work suggests that by claiming our place in the conversation, we can shape the narrative of our shared future together.
