A developing movement language and technological system shaped through collaboration and rehearsal.
project notes
Breath becomes visible, audible, and spatial.
Bringing choreography into dialogue with responsive architecture, sound, light, projection, sculptural materials, and contactless sensing technologies, the work explores how breath and movement can transform the surrounding environment. The architecture becomes an active participant, responding to the dancers and making breath visible, audible, and spatial.
