Doomscrollers: A Body of Dangerous Ideas: Part 3 is a danced-theater investigation of danger as both threat and threshold: how it lives in the body, how in search for connection intimacy itself can be perilous, and how media shapes our sympathies for violence and collapse. Inspired by Claire Bishop’s Disordered Attention and Daniel Sherrell’s Warmth, the work asks what it means to live at the hinge between digital saturation and planetary crisis, between the infinite scroll and the finite planet. In this space, the body becomes a site of translation, distortion, and possibility. This performance will not offer escape or easy answers; instead, it asks you to sit inside the uncertainty and risk of our moment, to witness danger not as spectacle but as a condition we share.

About the feath3r theory
the feath3r theory (TF3T) is a New York City based dance-theatre-media company that produces the work of Artistic Director and Choreographer Raja Feather Kelly. As a collaboration of dancers, actors, filmmakers, musicians, photographers, and designers, our mission is to broaden the space for unheard voices and repressed histories, to bring into the theatre those sometimes left out, and to use theatre to provoke much-needed public conversations. the feath3r theory does this by challenging its audience and its creators to collectively interrogate – and celebrate – its shared relationship to human empathy and personal ethics as expressed in and distorted by popular media. By unabashedly appropriating the structures, themes, and aesthetics of reality television, celebrity culture, social media and the internet, the work of TF3T synthesizes dance, visual media, and narrative theatre into virtuosic and expansive, productions in which artists and audience alike experience their shared humanity.
