#Habitus is a performative dance installation linked to social media, how it is increasingly occupying our daily lives and subconsciously affecting our mood and behaviours. With regular scrolls, clicks, messages and posts becoming routine too, it gives social media a lot more power to dictate how we feel, that before social media, weren’t affected by devices that occupy our pockets and homes.
#By creating performance, and combining dance and design, I want to transfer something digital and two dimensional into a physical manifestation that represented our social media lives. I did this by exaggerating the physical effects and emotional side of social media through dance and used the set design as a solid yet dynamic representation for social media.
#Dance itself might be seen more as a form of art, however with my set design and concept at the centre of the project it becomes something else entirely. The dance becomes a design because it’s the only fluid thing that has to adapt and be constructed to fit the other variables in this project.
