Expanded Fields

2019 Moving image installation with live performance, sound and virtual reality. The installation invites audiences into proximity with a piece of choreography, to encounter the inner worlds, images, sounds and sensations that dancers experience in the performance of a moment of dance. The film, sound installation and virtual reality spaces alongside episodic live performance will illuminate the ‘expanded fields’ emanating from this dancing moment, inviting the viewer into an intimate perspective on the complexities of the dancers’ individual and shared experience as they move together. The audience can encounter the live performers in the gallery at specific times and can explore the film, sound and virtual reality traces the dancers leave behind.
