Witness the extraordinary interactive dance performance from renowned choreographer Yael Flexer and digital artist Nic Sandiland

Devised by digital artist Nic Sandiland, choreographer Yael Flexer and the company in summer 2021. Imagining Otherwise is an interactive digital dance work for five dancers. It reflects on our experiences of parallel time zones. Places and lives; exploring the idea of multiple stories and possibilities.

Immersive digital floor projections, shaped and changed by the dancers' movement evoke shifting organic landscapes interwoven with spoken text by writer Wendy Houstoun and music by composer James Keane. Interactive imagery, akin to live charcoal drawing, highlights notions of migration, transcience, mark-making and erasure.

Imagining Otherwise raises images and themes of current pertinent issues such as migration, surveillance, identity, climate change and our impact on the environment. What marks do we get to leave behind? What do we do with the impact we make on the world?
