CoDa Dance Company presents Beyond the Darkness
Come and explore Beyond the Darkness by CoDa Dance Company, which creates work with and about people profoundly impacted by neurological disability. Beyond the Darkness consists of two digital dance works, including (The Moment) Everything Changed, an interactive digital dance experience; and As the Floor Shifts, a series of digital dance shorts.
(The Moment) Everything Changed 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.
As the Floor Shifts is 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.
Both works have been created in collaboration with CoDa Dance Company’s Lived Experience Consultants, people living with a neuro-disability or caring for someone who is.
