Dressed for Floating explores the limited and limitless nature of a dancer's silence and the effects of self- scrutiny and objectification. Examining ways that the body is seen and used as a means to express dysfunction, intergration, harmony and violence, the work is intended to be viewed by an audience seated on four sides of a 20-foot square playing space.

Seeing the dancers at close range and the audience in the distance watching invokes a contradictory circumstance of voyeurism and community. The electronic music - space includes live interactive feedback altered by the movement of the danceres, and places the audience in the same acoustically active space.
