Solo dancers slipped effortlessly through the audience whilst group sections felt intimidating and affronting.
The burnt orange down lighting on the dancer’s cast silhouettes that merged into the bodies of the observers, making this an intimate experience whereby the audience add to the overall performance and composition of the art. A certain energy would be left on the floor after the dancers’ performances that would travel into the energy of the crowd like a form of osmosis.
It is especially prominent to see contemporary dance and the culture of dance music working in unison to bring new immersive experiences into the mainstream. This is an exciting time for shared experiences of immersive art, one that I hope to see replicated in the future.
