For this edition, we’ve turned interviewing duties over to recent visiting artist André M. Zachery, who’s headquartered in Columbus this fall as an artist in residence at Ohio State’s Department of Dance. The following is a conversation between Andre and choreographers Rashaun Mitchell and Silas Riener, about process, experimenting in different mediums, and the questions that drive their work. Tesseract, the show Rashaun and Silas created in collaboration with video artist Charles Atlas, is coming to Mershon Auditorium on November 1.

Advisory: Technical issues during recording had some impact on clarity for parts of the conversation.
