Lily Baldwin, Experiential Artist, UK
Director, Performer, Artist, Choreographer, Lily Baldwin moves and creates with the hopes of waking people up. She use bodies in motion, rhythmic editing and sound to craft kinesthetic experiences. She sees story as a visceral trajectory of impressionistic moments and is intrigued by imagination and subtext — that which is felt but can’t be said.
Lily's VR project, THROUGH YOU, co-directed with Saschka Unseld, premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival. It was a recipient of the 2016 Sundance Institute New Frontier / Jaunt VR Residency and noted in The New York Times — “Movement and gesture take possession of the viewer in a way that has never been replicated.” Using dance to inhabit a common mortal story of love born, lived, lost, burned, and seemingly gone forever, Through You is a live-action VR richly infused with an atmosphere of passion.
