Cyberdance is an interactive chat room dance experience that explores ways of expanding comfort zones through trust, intimacy, and spontaneity. It gives the audience ability to interact with each other, as well as with the performers, with immediate feedback. Cyberdance makes a statement about our current state of virtual existence and interactions through the lens of voyeurism, with an added layer of playfulness and entertainment.
This project is going to be presented LIVE on the “Talk to the creator” link on:
Sunday, May 17 at 3:30 pm and 4:00 pm
Monday, May 18 at 6:30 pm and 7:00 pm
The Firebird used to live in a wet forest with their community. One day, without previous notice, their house was put on fire by someone who couldn’t understand the way they were living. And so the Firebird flies away from home. The Fire Bird migrates to the city, in the north, alone, and finds a place to sleep where no human could find them. The thing is that they were carrying an invisible fire seed inside their belly. So in the place where they slept, they dream for so long, that the invisible seed that was inside of their belly finds time to germinate and turns into a tree.
Cut is a live performance that explores choreographic intervention possibilities using a 2-dimensional screen and WebRTC. It is co-created by Yuguang Zhang & Nuntinee Tansrisakul.
I find that I’m really interested in the untold story of the two procedures of artistic and technical aspects of a project growing together and learning from each other; being in constant dialogue.
What does this growth look like in my work? Can I depict this in a performance? Can I turn this dialogue into an underlying structure that I can keep using?
How can I build an immersive environment, a choreographed world or a performance within my home to bring my body and my mind together? How can I depict this world through light and movement?
