AbstrACTION

Immerse yourself in a dark and shadowy world, and let your whole self be moved as you choose your own viewpoint and flow within the dance. Experiment with the dancers as they explore new pathways within Virtual Realities – fall, rise, turn, and fly with us into the stars. 

Watching dance is often a passive experience with one fixed point of view. We set about creating an immersive and visceral experience, allowing the audience to explore dance from all viewpoints, creating their own flow within the choreography. Collaborating with contemporary dance choreography Janis Claxton and harnessing the power of gaming technology, we devised a system allowing us to project the dancers into an interactive virtual world.
