(The Moment) Everything Changed

CoDa Dance Company tells real life differently: using dance and technology to shed light on the experiences of neuro-disabled people through stories that are meaningful, authentic and hopeful.

As part of Dreamy Place festival, come and explore (The Moment) Everything Changed - an interactive digital dance experience that captures how it feels when the relationship between your brain and body changes, as experienced by those with neurological conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson's. Interact with a large screen, see how your movement is detected and captured using 360 degree cameras, then played back to you in the form of digital particles from which an avatar emerges. Effects, glitches and delays built into the interaction are designed to illuminate how neuro-disabled people can experience movement.

Plus, join Artistic Director of Coda Dance Company Nikki Watson and Creative Technologist Marius Matheson on Saturday 26 October, 4.45pm for a demonstration of (The Moment) Everything Changed and to hear about how the piece was created and the technology behind it.

Nikki will also present a screening of the work’s companion piece, As the Floor Shifts, a 10-minute long series of digital dance shorts in virtual and extended reality techniques that visualise symptoms experienced by people with neurological conditions and disabilities. Playing on a loop Saturday 26 October, 3pm-3.20pm & 7pm-7.30pm for those coming to see Imagining Otherwise and at 5pm-5.45pm. 

No need to book, just drop in.
