Intergrated video projection with interactive sound and image technology create a powerful work viewed simultaneously by audiences in Melbourne and London. The audience experiences the intensity of the video performance, switching from terror to comfort like the switch from actuality to video screen. Company in Space occupies actual, virtual and spiritual space, extending concepts of dance and technology. |
