The Austin Chronicle, August 30, 2019, page 34, austinchronicle.com. Calendar recommendations for the week-minded, Aug. 29 – Sept. 5 Sunday: ARCOS Dance: Ether Junk, Mexican American Cultural Center, 2pm Arcos Dance: Ether Junk In this "staged rehearsal of possible cyborg realities,” the kinetic savants of Arcos use dance to explore how emergent technologies de-center the body and offer audience-participants the chance to assert their humanity in an increasingly opaque technoworld. In-person viewers of each performance will be joined by audiences at other locations screening an interactive livestream of the piece and using their phones to shape the action remotely. Note: This is ARCOS, so it's gonna be some kind of fierce and weird and wonderful. Daily Arts Five Recommended Arts Events This Weekend Because you want to supercharge your time in this world, don’t you? BY WAYNE ALAN BRENNER, 2:55PM, THU. SEP. 5, 2019 5) Arcos Dance: Ether Junk OK, admittedly, I’m an oldschool cyberpunk wannabe and still faintly glowing from having interviewed William Gibson a few years ago. But this is an Arcos Dance event, see, and I wouldn’t care if they were filling the MACC stage with their movement-focused version of Hee-Haw, I’d still be jonesing to see it. Because that company, you know? They manifest the kind of gorgeous and compelling danceworks that should always be what’s meant by the term “cutting edge.” What a great excuse to be AFK this weekend.
