THE MOTLEY EXPERIMENT is an immersive evening-length dance and technology project inspired by Jazz Modernist and Harlem Renaissance figure Archibald Motley Jr.

Bayview Opera House is co-presenter and the original incubation site for the performance residency of THE MOTLEY EXPERIMENT. This partnership expands upon previous mult-year projects like CODELINING.

THE MOTLEY EXPERIMENT is directed by interdisciplinary choreographer and media designer  Raissa Simpson. The original music is composed by Idris Ackamoor.
