Pandora’s Box - Michael Naffier and Cardin Chung

In collaboration with composer @michaelnaffier , Pandora’s Box is a dance-tech solo narrative on persistence, temptation, and acceptance. It features a self-engineered sensor box that creates musical responses according to the dancer’s proximity to it. Originally commissioned for the 2025 USC Widney Gala, it has been featured at the 2026 Flux Festival and the 2026 Woodworks Artist Residency.

A year ago Michael and I premiered this work. A year later, it’s a big reason I’m typing these words from Berlin!

Pandora’s Box was made with so much care and input from my friends. From bouncing ideas with @annglaviano and Michael at Week of Dance, to Michael, @daniel.mangiaracino & I having a music jam with the sensors, to my friends at Kaufman workshopping ideas with me, to Michael composing and dramaturging the piece, and to performing it. Again, and again, and again. 

Every time we get to share it, I’m reminded over and over that it reaches people. That what Michael and I made was worth it. That the emotional and physical toll I go through every time was worth it. That beyond the tech, this piece meant something. That someone, somewhere, found themselves within it. And each time I hesitated to step on the stage, a friend, a stranger, and a mother fueled me. And I won’t let it go to waste.

Michael, I am so grateful for you as my partner-in-crime. Thank you for composing such a beautiful modulating musical narrative. Thank you for your dramaturge and reflection. And thank you for being such a goober with me. Michael and Cardin hugging
