Flow
“FLOW is a full-dome performance where music, visuals, and movement exist in a continuous, ever-evolving dialogue. Each element; dance, sound, and imagery informs and reshapes the others, creating a circular loop of influence. Movement alters the visual state, visuals shape the music, and the music, in turn, guides the dance. This highly collaborative and improvised piece unfolds organically, flowing through rises and falls, moments of intensity and stillness. With no fixed outcome, FLOW is shaped in real-time, allowing each performance to take its own unique course.”
