Romeo & Juliet in JW Sweetman

This was an adaptation of Romeo & Juliet that took place entirely within the basement bar at J.W. Sweetman (now J.R. Mahon's) on Burgh Quay. Some friends of mine from Bow Street were in the cast. Scenes from the play began spontaneously throughout the location, and the audience was free to move about and sit/stand wherever they liked. All of the action of the play was compressed and restricted to a single location, so the entire story played out in real-time, with actors emerging from the audience and reintegrating back into it when not required by the current scene.

Free UR Head

Free UR Head is an accessible dance experience that uses VR to create instant group choreographies through the participation of its audience.

Taiwanese theatre and film director Chou Tung-Yen earned his stripes for his cross-border approach, his inventive use of new media, and the unexpected angles he takes on his subjects. This time he wants to take a step back from what happens inside the VR goggle, and wonders about the real physical repercussions outside of it. The result is Free UR Head, a tool for instant VR-conducted group choreographies.

Symbiosis

Symbiosis is a performative, multiuser, and multisensory VR installation in which the human body will be redesigned. It allows every participant to embody a post-human or even nonhuman reality: a completely symbiotic human-animal or human-technologic relationship. Dutch experience design collective POLYMORF investigates in a speculative way how a more symbiotic exchange of genetic, cultural, and technological traits between people and other present or future living entities can increase or change the agency of all.

Muster Station: Leith

Question: How are we to treat others?
Answer: There are no others

-Ramana Maharishi

The seemingly unthinkable has occurred.

We have become those people from the remote places we see on our screens. Thrust into crisis and driven from our homes into uncomfortable proximity with others whom we had pretended to happily co-exist with but perhaps preferred to ignore, inside the Muster Station, our fragile prejudices and assumptions are exposed.
