Ghost Factory by Bridgman|Packer Dance at HCC Ybor City Campus
Fri Oct 28, 7:30 PM - Fri Oct 28, 9:00 PM

Ghost Factory is the latest in BridgmanPacker Dance’s body of acclaimed and genre-breaking work that features their “Video Partnering”— the integration of live performance and video technology. Inspired by the residents and vast deserted factories of Johnson City, an upstate New York town, Ghost Factory is a compelling work that reveals remnants of a past era through a contemporary lens. Live performance merges with haunting video imagery of abandoned factory buildings, evoking the humanity these spaces once held.

In conjunction with the stage performance, there is an accompanying audio/visual installation entitled Places With Hidden Stories that will be in Gallery114@HCC Ybor City Campus from 6:30 -7:30 pm. It further brings alive the stories of residents of Johnson City as well as those of Ybor City’s cigar industry. Parallels will be drawn between the histories and cultures of these two historic manufacturing towns. The installation and the stage work reveal how architecture can hold a town’s human stories hidden within its walls.
