For the duration of Rita McBride: Arena Momentum at Dia Beacon, an expanding body of artists, performers, writers, musicians, and dancers activates physical and virtual spaces as part of a series of engagements with McBride’s Arena (1997). The activations are guided by the conceptual parameters of Arena’s copyleft license (ɔ); the digital files of Arena are freely available to the public in accordance with this license.

Momentum was initiated by Rita McBride, choreographer Alexandra Waierstall, and the experimental performance collective discoteca flaming star.

Momentum is among other things choreographic interludes developed over time by Alexandra Waierstall in close collaboration with dancers from around the world and interactions (they draw, move, make music and write) from the Berlin studio of discoteca flaming star (CGB, Sofia Lomba, Michael Mahalchick, WM and Sara Pereira)

Momentum started in September 2022 and will end in spring 2025
