Description

On the Other Earth is a new, post-cinematic choreographic installation inspired by Wayne McGregor’s latest live stage work DEEPSTARIA that refracts, evolves and reimagines the work’s conceptual DNA into a startlingly original new form of experience. Leveraging the interaction paradigms of Jeffrey Shaw’s pioneering new media art practice, On the Other Earth takes place within Shaw’s radically immersive nVis installation space – the world’s first 360-degree stereoscopic LED cinematic screen, its 26-million-pixel, panoramic, 3-D imagery experienced inside an enveloping cylindrical architecture of eight metres wide and four metres tall. In On the Other Earth, McGregor combines dance performance, choreography, digital imaging, multimodal sensing, AI, audience interactivity and spatialised sound – redefining, once again, how we think about movement, the body and performance.
