Residue

Residue

1998

Residue was Niehoff’s 1st evening length work. A multimedia performance including 16mm film, live music and dance, the piece shifted between the temporal and phenomenal realms that simultaneously exist within our world. Residue explored the idea of imprinting, and how residual emotions and past experiences impact us and the places we inhabit. The film used the dancers as its subject and the live performers and film performers interacted with one another on a set of sheer, white fabric that was hung curve-linearly throughout the stage.

“Justifiably, Residue brought the house to its feet.”
-Alice Kaderlan, Seattle P.I., April, ‘98
