Equipped with a see-through VR headset that allows for…

NINO
Shadows play on weathered textures, landscapes both natural and surreal, light dances on surfaces virtual and visceral. Avatars breathe, embodying the earth, sky, and the storm within, drifting between worlds, animated by the unseen currents of a dancer’s breath, captured in the pulse of motion. Here, the audience no longer watches—they become space where the…

The Field
How could we be moved with all this data and technology around? Could science emphasize the awareness of our physicality, could it be translated into a dance language or choreographies and could it be systematized as a participatory installation? We are about to find out. The Field is an ongoing study of dance as a…

Collective Cadence
“Collective Cadence” investigates the complex dynamics between mass dances, individual expression, and control systems. The project emphasizes rhythm’s crucial role in initiating, disseminating, and encapsulating collective desires and fears. Intertwining elements of history, anthropology, ethnomusicology, and AI co-creation, it scrutinizes how performing rhythm functions as a societal response mechanism, supporting, evading, or combating dominant structures.…

SFDCANBAC++
Stage for Digital, Contagious, and Networked Bodies and Code++ (SFDCANBAC++) Bodies, colorful objects, live-codes and glitter pixels continuously change their constellations on the stage – superimposing and subtracting, grouping and ungrouping – while the abundance of “actors” never arrives to a specific form. The performance is a “petri dish” where something happens as if in the lab…
