InDance International Harriet Macauley Triplicity into Quantum at Dance East, Yorkshire Dance, supported by Leeds Conservatories and Liverpool John Moores was a moment of Magic!
We shared an early stage process on the development of a new dance work for community engagement and performances, created in preparation for performances in Europe and the United Kingdom from Spring 2024. A period of co-creation we were able to test the use of Mobile Phones devices as part of the performance creation with the audience. Through the use of live feed from Mobile Phone to computer the audience had the opportunity to design the interaction with the projection and dancers. Decision making is made with and between the participants within the dance.
Yorkshire Dance 2023
From Dance East to Yorkshire Dance, we were supported by Igor Halicki, who professionally designed video projections that included live Motion Tracking on stage, Audio Reactive Visuals and Data-based Graphics for Quantum. At Dance East, we were able to expand upon both Studio and Theatre digital dance practice supported by the in-house technical team.
Quantum utilises multimedia tools (VR/MR) in dance, and provided time to build on Dance Digital Readiness for audiences, and, in doing so, supports partnership building & employment of Freelance dance workforce in England & Internationally. We committed to creating and recreating to form a new ideas and approaches to the use of Multimedia in Performance.
