Artist and MIT Lecturer Janessa Clark's Tiny Dances Project is an ongoing socially-engaged, multimedia installation project weaving together dance, video, sound art, photography and sculpture. Each 'tiny dance' artistically translates the contents of letters confessing personal secrets sent anonymously to the artist from around the world.
For MTA's Performance & Design Week, the project will offer this latest volume of 11 artworks based on letters from Northern Michigan in 2020 and from St. Petersburg, Russia during a 2019 artist residency.
