There are new opportunities to see our digital dance work Beyond the Darkness as it embarks on a mini tour in the coming months.
Beyond the Darkness includes (The Moment) Everything Changed, an interactive screen which detects and captures your movements using 360 degree cameras; and As the Floor Shifts, a series of digital dance shorts using extended and virtual reality techniques. Both pieces have been created with our Lived Experience Consultants to communicate some of the realities of living with a neurological condition.
(The Moment) Everything Changed captures how it feels when the relationship between your brain and body changes, as experienced by those with neurological conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s. Interact with a large screen, see how your movement is detected and captured using 360 degree cameras, then played back to you in the form of digital particles from which an avatar emerges. Effects, glitches and delays built into the interaction are designed to illuminate how neuro-disabled people can experience movement.
As the Floor Shifts is a 10-minute long series of digital dance shorts in virtual and extended reality techniques that visualise symptoms experienced by people with neurological conditions and disabilities.
